| The 'uneasy stare'- Chinese actress Zhao Wei |
A Chinese man has sued popular Asian actress Zhao Wei for staring at him intensely through his TV set.
Zhao is one of China's biggest and richest movie stars, and starred in director John Woo's "Red Cliff."
Reports say the lawsuit filed by a Shanghai man involves the prime-time
TV show "Tiger Mom" which debuted in May and centers on a couple's
differing approach to raising their daughter. Zhao plays the big-eyed
mother who relentlessly pushes her daughter's development, while the
father wants his child to have more freedom.
Rules making it easier to file lawsuits in China have led to a new
concern over frivolous claims such as this one, with the plaintiff
alleging Zhao's stare caused him "spiritual damage."
The regulations making it more difficult for courts to reject lawsuits
took effect May 1, leading to an increase in cases, nationwide of about
29 percent compared with same period last year, according to the Supreme
People's Court.
Gan Wen, deputy head of a case-filing chamber under the Supreme Court, said at a news conference Tuesday that the Zhao case was an example of citizens abusing their right to file lawsuits.
"It's not necessary to waste our judicial resources on cases like these," Gan said.
Suing someone looking at you through your TV for causing spiritual damage??? I can't stop laughing!
