Overview

• A visiting child hurled a remote control at an influencer’s living room ceiling on August 1, shattering a mirrored glass panel valued at 100,000 yuan and an Italian crystal chandelier worth 300,000 yuan.
• Influencer “Little Azheng” shared photos showing shards of glass scattered across the floor and the chandelier collapsed on the ground.
• The youngster displayed no remorse and refused to apologize for the roughly 400,000 yuan (US$56,000) in damages.
• The boy’s parents offered only 20,000 yuan (US$2,800) in compensation, citing poverty and urging the influencer to avoid legal or public action.
• Repairing the glass ceiling alone will require removing and replacing every remaining panel, the influencer warned.
