Earlier this month, police in Hangzhou responded to a call after bar staff reported finding a suspicious suitcase<\/a>.\u00a0It contained two million yuan in cash ($314,204) \u2014 an extraordinary amount of money, maybe even life-changing for some.

The police managed to identify the owner, and finally, the owner’s friend turned up to explain the situation. It came to light that the owner had had a quarrel with his girlfriend about breaking up, resulting in his girlfriend requesting a \u2018break-up\u2019 fee of 10 million RMB.\u00a0The\u00a0owner went to\u00a0the bank\u00a0and took 2 million yuan out right away, but the girl rejected the money as it wasn\u2019t enough. Failing to reach an agreement<\/a>, they both just left after the\u00a0fight, no money having been exchanged.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the case, the owner came to the\u00a0police\u00a0office\u00a0and\u00a0was reunited with the money. Break-up fees have emerged in recent years in China as a sort of compensation at the end of a long-term relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

They decide, based on the amount of time, effort and money they have invested in the relationship, how much money they should give to their former partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people look pragmatically at the amount of money their partner had spent on them while they were dating, whereas others set a levy based on how severe they think the emotional damage of the break-up will be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Break-up fees are more commonly paid by men \u2014 out of guilt or in order to offset their partner’s (assumed) grief. But we think it\u2019s fair to say relationships should be more about the effort made by\u00a0couples, instead\u00a0of a monetary value.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think of break-up fees?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
