In China, it seems that most people assume that after the death of an old man, his money should be left to his children no matter what.
However, as the times progressed, this tradition began to slowly change.
After all, at the beginning, blood determines the distance between each other, but in the end, it may be the "relatives" who can always be by their side and give warmth in life.
In BusinessInsider, the copyright belongs to the original author Recently, many foreign media have reported a domineering news that is "rare in China": a Chinese lady left all her assets worth 20 million yuan (2.8 million US dollars) to her beloved pet, leaving no point for her children.
According to the news, the old lady's surname is Liu and she is a Shanghainese.
A few years ago, she was like an ordinary Chinese elderly, always worried that her children would break up because of her inheritance when she was "old".
So, she made a will one step ahead of schedule, in which Mrs. Liu divided three sets of real estate in Shanghai with a total value of 20 million yuan to her three children.
originally thought that his advance planning could be exchanged for his own peaceful old age.
Who would have thought that his good intentions were exchanged for "loneliness". After making the will, Mrs. Liu did not receive more care from her children, but no one cared and took care of her when she was sick.
During the old lady's hospitalization**, the children did not come to visit once.
What's even more chilling is that after Mrs. Liu was discharged from the hospital, her children still ignored it, and they were reluctant to come and see it when they passed by.
Over the years, the children have been like strangers with no blood, and the only ones who have always been by Mrs. Liu's side and given her warmth and happiness are the pet cats and pet dogs that she raised by herself.
In SCMP, the copyright belongs to the original author's (**irlevated) biological children for many years of "letting go", which made Mrs. Liu's heart become colder and colder in a few years, and she realized that even if the inheritance was given to them, they would not care about her a little bit.
Mrs. Liu made up her mind and made a domineering decision that is "rare in China".
She changed her original will and decided to leave all her property to the "furry children" who were with her at all times.
In Mrs. Liu's plan, she intends to appoint a local pet hospital as the administrator of her estate, and after her 100 years of age, she will be responsible for taking care of these "children" and their offspring.
However, Mrs. Liu's ideas are good, but they are really ahead of their time in today's China.
The headquarters of the Beijing Wills Registration Center** said that although Mrs. Liu wanted to leave all the money directly to her pet, it was not legal in China.
In China, pets are not the heirs of an estate.
PS: Foreign pets can inherit inheritance, and the richest dog in history is a German Shepherd of Gunther III, who inherited $65 million from the owner of the German countess. ）
In SCMP, the copyright belongs to the original author (** has nothing to do), and there are certain risks associated with creating an inheritance in this way.
Another person from the East China Branch of the China Wills Registration Center said that before Mrs. Liu made her will, they had warned of the risks of putting all the money in the hands of a pet hospital.
We told Auntie Liu that she could always change her will again if her children changed their attitude towards her. ”
Of course, if Mrs. Liu is firm in her mind, the ** of the Will Center also recommends that she appoint a trusted person to supervise the pet hospital to ensure that the pet is properly cared for.
In sina, the copyright belongs to the original author (** has nothing to do) all the money is left to the pet, and the 3 children have no penny.
After Mrs. Liu's "domineering" decision was posted on the Internet, it instantly caused a huge discussion on the Internet.
"When I read the title, I thought it was another country's business. Because other countries occasionally hear such news. ”
Most of the netizens in the comment area are basically still supportive.
"The world is sober".
"Very good idea, I'll think about it in the future".
"I don't have any children anyway, so this kind of gives me a new idea, really."
"Well done, if my daughter treats me badly in the future, I will also leave the house to someone else".
"The idea is good. But execution. Estimate. difficult".
"A slap in the face to parents who raise children to prevent old age".
There are also some netizens who saw the deep helplessness of the old man.
"How disappointed and sad she must have been in making the decision not to leave anything for her children."
Of course, some netizens feel that the old man's current fate may have something to do with herself.
"It's an accident that one doesn't love, no one loves anyone, it's better to find your own reasons, it's all taught by yourself. ”
"It's hard to evaluate, the aunt herself didn't raise her children well before, and she can't just look at the surface. ”
So, what do you think?
