French Man Pays Chinese Wife 400,000 Yuan to Sign Divorce Papers

French Man Pays Chinese Wife 400,000 Yuan to Sign Divorce Papers
Jan 26, 2016 By eChinacities.com

A French man had to pay his Chinese wife 400,000 Yuan in their divorce settlement after being married for nine years. Gil, a French businessman living in Wuhan, paid his wife a huge settlement.

Gil’s ex-wife was a woman from Wuhan named Li Ning. Li was fluent in several languages, and met Gil in 2006. They married in 2009, and went to live in Paris, France. Two years ago, Gil was re-located to China for work and Li returned with him.

Why would Gil spend so much money to get a divorce? Gil said that he often believed that he was unable to communicate with his Chinese wife properly and that his wife was always very secretive.

Gil said that whenever his wife taught him Chinese, she would laugh at him. This would hurt his self-esteem.

Li worked at a major French company when the couple lived in Paris, but felt too much pressure at work. She resigned and lived as a full-time wife. After nine years of marriage, they did not have any children or common property.

Six months ago, Gil filed for divorce from his wife, but his wife refused to sign. To get a divorce as quickly as possible, Gil offered to pay a settlement of 400,000 Yuan, but Li still did not agree. Gil hired a lawyer, who failed to negotiate a deal. Gil then decided to sue for divorce. Li finally decided to accept the 400,000 Yuan settlement.

He wanted a divorce after she quit her job and wanted to stay home and live off his money? What a misogynist! He should take her emotional abuse with grace, and be glad to give her money in exchange for her existing.

Oh really ? I guess you are just another Chinese "woman" who only dream to marry a foreigner for his money and after you marry, you can sleep in his money at home and let him working as an idiot, right ???? This is your culture, bitch ???? Put your mind and ass at work if you want money ! Leave foreigners men alone to find women who really know and feel love ! not money only ! You are all whored educated like this ! In the article is nowhere wrote he wanted divorce after she quit her job ! he divorced because she make him feel bad, as you usually do , all chinese women ! you think you are clever while you are more stupid than a sheep ! You want to be a boss in family , but this is not acceptable for a Western man ! From this article, you only understood the things about the money, of course ! ....

No wonder Chinese women are fearful of foreigners who lack any values, let alone Confucian values. This French guy gives other laowai men a bad name.

Confucian values include the value of being a doormat for an emotionally abusive wife who uses you for your money while contributing nothing? Missed that part about Chinese philosophy. I guess you are demonstrating Confucian values with your liberal use of racial slurs too.

Protip: Girls of all countries, don't marry men who only want sex, and lust after you. These men only want one thing from you. Once they are tired of you, they want a divorce.

It looks like men from France and men from your country are wimps. Just because someone laughs at your chitty Chinese you guys start to cry like babies. Pathetic, you guys need to man up.

It's all fine, when a masculine Chinese guy says: "HALUO!" to me from across the street then giggles like a little girl, I simply answer: "Hey你听起来像同性男hahaha", they usually get very angry, I don't see why?!, laughing at other people's mistakes is all fine, or is it?

How can you marry someone just for sex? Chinese logic I guess. You don't marry someone just for sex, you can be in a relationship just for sex. But you don't marry someone and take them to your home country just for sex. Another aspect of Chinese logic, when teaching someone, you do not ridicule them. It's a sign of disrespect. Especially in Chinese culture, laughing at someone is a way to try and make yourself feel better than that person. That's a sign that she has a peasant mentality. Frenchie should have just divorced her in his home country.

Quit with your racist generalisations dude! It feels like you've got some personal vendetta against this guest user when you don't actually even know him/her. I mean to just say "Chinese men are wimps to begin with." is a bit strong right?!

@GeoChitLeecher, your 50 year azz needs to get out of his parents basement and find a job. You'll have to grow up one of these days and quit trolling on the internet.

Wow, why hurl such insults towards me? Why do I sense so much rage and hate within you, why all of the vitriol? You rarely say anything positive about China, or attempt to assess why China or Chinese people are the way they are. It just seems as if you're all about kicking people when they're down, and this is where you come to do it.

China is a country, not a race. That shouldn't be so complicated.

Stop with the semantics, I see what he's doing as simply racism disguised as "cultural elitism" and I'm going to call him out on that.

Yeah, I don't think I'll stop with the proper use of language. There is no racism on his part. He's talking about China, a country. You are trying to make it a racial issue in order to get the upper hand.

This remember me of my ex-boyfriend who married a Chinese woman ( he was Chinese ) and after a while, we met for a talk as simple friends and I asked him "do you love her?" but I was very shocked when I heard his answer :" No, but I will probably love her ... Wife is just an important family member "...So, also in some websites, you can met men or women who instantly say to you " I love you " or " I miss you " even without to know you ever real ... This say everything about them ! Chinese don't have the capacity to feel love , this unique feeling which they never can feel . I was living 10 years here and in this 10 years, I never met a man who have real love feelings, no matter if for me or for other woman, but I met a lot of men who married just because to be... and then they tried hard to cheat the wives and find "their love !" ..... I could never accept and understand why you , as Chinese , need to find love outside of marriage ???? How can you be so non-human to marry someone without having any feelings for that person ????? How can you have kids without having love for that person ???? How will you be able to love that kids if you don't love that person you married with ??? Because of this kind of marriage, do you know how much yur child will be affected emotionaly in life ????? This is the reason why the next generation and the next and the next... are unable develop any love feelings in China ! Because you keep your stupid tradition to marry someone you don't love ! Oh, and where to add .... they believe that in this life is good to not be attached of things or persons.... So this say everything ! In the French guy, I am sure he married her because he loved her or at least he liked her very much . But the Chinese ass idiot woman just take him in laughing and made him feel down , because she , as all chinese women, believe they are the most clever ( while they are the most stupid in this world as women ! without any intelligence , but very arrogant ) and of course in Europe the man is superiour and must be a man always. I agree with him to divorce, but I don't agree to pay that money . He could hire 3 -4 lawyers with that money or with a part of that money to make her accept the divorce !
