An account
published in the
Heilongjiang Morning Post back in that year maintained that Feng's wife had undergone extensive cosmetic surgery prior to meeting him to disguise her less-than-desirable looks but had not disclosed that fact to him, and her secret was given away when she gave birth to an "ugly baby daughter" and confessed. Feng thereupon successfully sued his wife both for divorce and monetary damages over her "deceit":
A Chinese man has divorced and sued his wife for £55,000 after discovering she'd had plastic surgery before they met.
Jian Feng, 38, was said to have been "horrified" when she gave birth to an ugly baby daughter. He suspected her of having an affair.
His wife then confessed to having plastic surgery costing £70,000 in South Korea before they met and showed him a picture of how she used to look.
He filed for divorce two years after marrying her following a whirlwind romance.
The Heilongjiang Morning Post said Jian successfully sued for deceit.
This item really picked up steam in 2012 when someone finally attached a picture to the story, and it has now been circulating on the Internet for over a decade, periodically resurfacing when some
news outlet unaware of its background picks it up and runs it as a current and true news story. More recent outbreaks of this tale typically reference "children" rather than a single daughter and are accompanied by the purported photograph of the family in question, comprising three children:
Indeed, this image is completely unrelated to the infamous news story about a man suing his wife over ugly children and actually originated with a 2012 advertisement for a Taiwanese
plastic surgery center featuring Taiwanese model Heidi Yeh (Ye Wan Cheng). Yeh posed for a "family" shot with children whose appearances were later digitally altered in the finished photograph, which was used in an ad for the plastic surgery clinic with a caption reading "The only thing you'll ever have to worry about is how to explain it to the kids"
tl;dr: It was made up by a chink newspaper and 4chan does not have critical thinking skills
