Overview

• Li Shangxuan met Ding during her 2013 rehabilitation after a car accident left her paralyzed and later married him believing his claim of medical credentials.
• Within two months of marriage, Ding pressured Li into a loan exceeding three million yuan and subjected her to verbal and physical abuse while posing as a surgeon.
• The couple divorced the day after their son’s birth when Ding relinquished custody and then vanished, cutting off all contact with Li and their child.
• On May 22, Li went public on social media to expose Ding’s deceit and warn other women of similar scams in hopes of recovering the funds.
• Her lawsuit, scheduled for June, accuses Ding of fraud, domestic violence and abandonment, and legal experts say she may press criminal charges if he misled her about the loan’s purpose.
