The Li Pengfei Scandal: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Li Pengfei (李鹏飞)

Unrequited love has led a young Chinese woman to create a website, and publish all the photos of her ex-boyfriend Li Pengfei (李鹏飞) in the most compromising positions (wanking in bed, performing cunnilingus on her, etc.) in a last ditch attempt to get back at him. The sexy pictures were published along with all the sordid details of how the little casanova was supposed to have tricked her out of her money and love in a website on April 17, and in just two months, the site has attracted over 2 million unique visitors.

Little is known about the 21 year old woman apart from her claims to be a "simple, average girl who loves travelling". As the story goes, she was travelling to Tibet on the new Qinghai-Tibet express T27 accompanied by her two friends. As the train started entering higher altitude, she began to feel unwell and Li who is an attendant on the train, brought her a personal oxygen canister and they began chatting. Subsequently, Li asked her for her number, saying he would love to show her around northern China sometime. She agreed and soon the two were dating. They spent lots of time together, travelled to Tibet and Beijng together, had lots of sex (and took lots of pictures). Li even took the girl home to meet his parents, leading the girl to think she was "the one".

To cut the long story short, things started falling apart soon after. All this while though, the girl, who was the wealthier of the two, claims she had been paying for ALL expenses while they were together: travel fares, taxis, hotels, phone bills, groceries, entertainment expenses, etc. and Li Pengfei "would not even once bother to pretend that he was going to pay". To prove it all, she's put online all the bills she's amassed while they were together, all the pictures of him enjoying the meals and desserts that she bought him in Beijing, as well as all the airfares she bought him because he told her he had never travelled in a plane before.

She's also published over a thousand text messages sent to her by Li Pengfei while they were together, from all the sweet-nothings earlier in the relationship to the really racy messages down to the nasty messages after things fell apart.

After Li Pengfei claimed that the pictures were all photoshopped fakes, the girl posted two high resolution pictures and invited netizens to judge for themselves. Those pictures, along with many others, have since spread like wildfire on the Chinese internet, and the story has since been told by numerous Chinese media outlets, and dubbed by the media as a "civilian sex photo-gate" ("平民版艳照门"), a clear reference to the Edison Chen scandal earlier this year. Daqi.com has since confirmed that a Li Pengfei does indeed work with the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and that the young man has since been recalled back to Beijing. Lawyers have suggested that while there is no way to prove that what Li did to her was against the law, the young woman has already stepped on the wrong side of the law herself by posting Li's nude images online.

The moral of the story for all you gentlemen out there? Never piss off a lady with a digital camera. Or one that knows how to create websites.

This is awesome from a voyeuristic point of view, but what has the guy done wrong?

Reverse the roles and if he'd wined and dined a woman who then got rid of him, everyone would just say
"Tough break kid"

Either way she might find it hard to get another boyfriend when guys find out how vindictive she is- but I doubt if this bad boy will struggle to get another girl.

You are so right, James. The pictures only enhance his appeal (he's quite hot actually), while the whole website and her actions make her out to be a complete shrew (I could use worse words, but will refrain...).

Look at all those receipts she kept! I'd immediately hire her as an accountant.

I wasn't aware the mangina was a global phenomenon.

The guy may have been a jerk for doing it but he did nothing wrong or against the law.

The way I see it its like Chinese girls 500,000,000 Chinese boy 1.
