When Liang Shan in a Jining village, Shandong Province, invited his neighbor surnamed Zhang to his son's wedding, he had no idea how expensive it was going to be.

The drunken Zhang fell into a giant wok full of boiling water for washing dishes. When Zhang asked Liang for 6,000 yuan (US$790) in compensation, Liang refused.

Zhang then sued Liang. Eventually the court ordered Liang to pay Zhang 3,600 yuan (US$474).
