(China Daily)
Updated: 2009-01-16 10:43 A high school student in Chongqing municipality gave his girlfriend the clothes off his back - almost literally. The boy, Cheng Ying, couldn't afford to throw a birthday party for his sweetheart so he sold 1,000 yuan worth of new clothes his mother gave him for just 300 yuan ($44). "Tuesday was my girlfriend's birthday and I wanted to give her a happy party, so I sold the clothes to my classmates for 100 yuan each," he said. He later regretted the move and apologized to this mother. |
