Beijing:
A man in China spent 6 million yuan ($940,000) of his parents'
money who thought their son was studying in Oxford University. The
couple sent money for six years, little realising that their son
was in Beijing.
The man, 31, who hails from Jiangsu province, spent millions of
yuan in the past six years, reported Shanghai Daily citing the
Beijing Morning Post.
After his parents stopped sending him money, he had to split up
with his girlfriend.
He borrowed about 400,000 yuan from loan sharks, but couldn't pay
back. He then tried to commit suicide.
The media report said that the man failed to go to Oxford
University. He went to Beijing and lied to his parents that he was
studying in Oxford.
His parents decided to forgive him after they learnt of his
suicide attempt.
