Chinese man "Liu Wei" faced difficulty getting rid of pictures of his ex-wife, which led him to become wealthy. Unusual as it may sound, Liu Wei, known for his unconventional ideas, built a factory to help him shred pictures of his ex-wife. He later decided to expand his business, becoming a destination for many.
According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail," Liu manages a factory in Guangdong province, China, specializing in tearing apart pictures of divorcees. He has clients from all over China, and the service's price ranges between $1.4 and $2.8 per picture, depending on its size.
The report mentions that clients often request Liu to spray paint the pictures before tearing them to protect them from reuse.
Liu stated, as per the newspaper, that his process is safe and private. The pictures are wrapped before being torn, and they are disposed of safely. He emphasizes that his process helps people move forward in their lives after divorce, considering it a symbolic way to get rid of the past.
By the way, it's worth noting that the Chinese government issued a decision known as the "cooling-off period," requiring individuals filing for divorce to undergo a one-month waiting and review period before processing their request.
