mother in China jumped to her death after failing to accept that her son will be married to a short woman.

I’m confused as to why she killed herself

I vaguely remember a similar tragic story in Mexico. I believe the Fiancée's name was Contsuelo.

The story is kind of slanted to make the mother appear as a cray, by western standards.

Here is a rough translation. It's been awhile since I had to use my Chinee skills.

"Wing wong wang tong. Fing fong Yu Too Short bing bong. Wang tong bing bang Fu Man Chu. Ni Hao Kai Lan Chiang Kai Shek. Fried rice egg noodles fing fang fong. Long Duck Dong Duck Sauce. Fa ra ra ra ra ra no no no it's fa la la la la."

If my mom committed suicide over such a stupid thing, then I think I’d get over it more quickly. I’d just brush my mother off as the dumbest person I ever met and just happened to give birth to me.

How short are we talking? Like midget short? Because the Chinese are pretty short to begin with.

Eta: average height of female Chinese is 5ft 0.8 inches....

Chick must have been freaky short?
