Yang Zhengyuan, a 69-year-old father of three from China's
Sichuan province filed a lawsuit against his three daughters in March
for not returning home to visit him 'frequently'. He claimed his
daughters hadn't come home enough or given him enough financial support
over the past ten years.
His daughters Yang Liu, Yang Qing and Yang Lan however hit back with a counterclaim accusing him of favoring boys over girls.
Yang Liu claims that her father beat her in her own office after she failed to give him the money he was demanding from her.
While Yang Qing said she was beaten by her father when she
was pregnant: 'When I was a few months pregnant, he pulled my hair and
beat me.'
They have provided copies of balance transfers sent to their father.
The family has been able to work out an agreement under which they will visit him twice a year and call once every month.
The mother of the girls, Xiao Liu confirmed the girls'
allegations saying her husband favored boys over girls and used to beat
her.
The daughters also argue that their father has shown a lack
of interest in their personal affairs such as education, marriages and
careers.
He admitted that he could have contributed more to his family but denies claims that he 'abandoned' his daughters.
Yang Qing told reporters: 'Even if he wins the case, we would lose our affection.'
Earlier this year China introduced a new rule that allows parents to sue their children for not seeing them enough.
Children who still refuse to visit their parents will be
given a bad credit which may make it difficult for them to open bank
accounts, take out loans and even have a library card.
The new law has an emphasis on 'coming home' rules.

Some would want to start reaping where did not sow with this policy; intentionally abandon the kids and sue!
Linda, ask him how often he was visiting his parents and how much he was sending to them cause he could be reaping what he sowed
Guess he is reaping what he sow when he was at their age.

If u take good care of ur children,dey don't need anyone or law to remind Dem of wat to do. Where are d guys he take care of? At his age, if d guys gv me money, wat else did he want to do with all d money. Pale abegi
China and their funny laws. This type of law will only create disaffection in most family. If a father was good to his children, the children will take care of him in his old age
Serves him right. I don't know why some men don't value their females children but want to be favoured by them when they grow up
