Heating up the Netease forums is this sorrowful story: a Guangdong husband brazenly brought his affair back home after 10 years of marriage. If that wasn't enough, he even made love to his mistress in front of his wife and requested her to sleep with them.
This 37-year-old wife, Mrs. Xie, couldn't stand her husband's behavior but all her objections only brought her curses, beatings and denial by her husband. Angrily, Mrs. Xie waited until her husband had fallen asleep and snipped his penis off while he was sleeping.
Yesterday, Dongwan No. 1 Court of Law sentenced Mrs. Xie 10 years of prison for her crime. After the judgment, Mrs. Xie could not stop crying and said, "I could always think about when we (me and my husband) worked hard together. I am very worried about my 3 children. I owe them."
The aggressive behavior by both husband and wife triggered a huge discussion on the internet. Many netizens did not agree with the court's judgment, arguing that the conviction was too heavy.
"判重了 判离婚就可以了。” “(The court) Condemned too strong. Just divorce them is okay.""剪的好"
"Well-cut.""这事是真的吗?如果是真的那法院就判重了,这男的是一般的偷情吗/他居然把姘头带回家当自己老婆的面干那事,试问谁受得了?判10年???请教法院是怎么判的?"
"This incident was real? If it is, then the court judged too heavy. Did the husband just have an affair? He even brought his affair back home and had sex in front of his wife, can I ask, who can withstand this? 10 years? Can I please ask how the court finally decided on that?""生殖器被剪，这个是重伤，伤残哇，判刑是肯定要的，不过有情可原，应该轻判。"
"The genital was cut. This is grievous bodily injury. A sentence of prison is needed; but it is forgivable, the court should give a light judgement.""如果是我，剪完直接拿去喂狗~！"
"If that was me, I would feed the dog with his penis!"
Some others went a step further, pointing out that the husband should be judged too because of having affairs openly.
"男的是聚众淫乱罪啊。怎么不判，什么JB法院啊" "This man should be under the charge of pruriency. Why didn't the court judge him? What the hell is this court?""哪个男子呢?法律点样对他?"
"How about that man? No laws against him?"
We feel very bad for Mrs. Xie and hope that this kind of incident will not happen in the future. What would you have done if confronted with a husband who cheated right in front of you?

"...and snipped his penis off while he was sleeping."
"Snipped" vs. "chopped"??? Says a lot, though I know it's merely your editorial license *snicker*
Justifying cutting off somebody's genitals? I'd say this is a new low for Allie Shi, except she also thinks it's a good idea to link to post links to graphic suicide videos she finds on the web.
Get over yourself. She said that netizens felt that Mrs. Xie was justified in cutting off someone's genitals and maybe insinuated that she agreed 10 years was way too much time for something like this.
If you remember, in the Lorena Bobbit case, she was acquitted because of insanity due to the stresses of living in an abusive spousal relationship. Looks like this woman had the same deal - only even John Bobbit wasn't bold enough to bring his mistress home and ask his wife for a threesome.
