| I'm really sorry to hear that, meouw! That's such sad story. I can imagine how you feel because something similar happened to me when I was travelling alone in Suzhou. My loss amounted to approx. 2,000 RMB, too. There's no point in going into details. Since I know that it's practically hopeless in such a situation to try to get the money back (the police won't help you and other guests would never dare to butt in), I have sworn that I would one day go back and have my vengeance then. Of course, the amount itself is ridiculous, but I can't tolerate being deliberately cheated in such a mean way. I don't care if this is legal as long as the lines between what's illegal and legitimate is blurred in China. In some cases, taking the law into one's own hands is the only way for "justice". And this, by the way, is the positive side about China. In Germany, if the law doesn't bring justice, I would have to accept that. However, in China, I'm not afraid of using violence to fight for justice myself. |
