Shen was handcuffed to the building and was accused of serious assault, but Lu submitted an application that brought the woman face-to-face, which was the only few encounters where competitors met in person during ongoing battles. One of them, Shen did not fulfill his wish to repay.

“The old aunt who sells tickets”

The incident raised questions about the internal security of the urban courts, where the public can obtain most of the procedures for weapons without inspection.

Lu and Shen have been exchanging hyperbolic jabs on Chinese online forums since 2005, when they were preparing to immigrate to Canada from China when they met on the Internet.

The two accused each other of unimportant and unpopular sneakers and attacked their families. Shen allegedly called Lu’s son’s high school to verify whether he was actually admitted to Harvard.

Lu claimed that Shen called her “too poor to buy a house.” Shen claimed that Lu was accused of wearing “loose sportswear that made her look like an’old aunt selling tickets’.”

The battle inevitably entered the courtroom, where the two women sued each other and counterclaimed defamation.

Both are self-representatives and have submitted many puzzling applications and affidavits to support their allegations.

In April 2020, Judge Elaine Adair tried to eliminate the source of the conflict.

Adele wrote in the decision: “Because it is still largely a mystery, both women showed blatant and extreme behavior. Indeed, many of the behaviors can be described as compulsive and border on irrational behavior. “

“Each of them claimed that the other’s actions caused serious harm to her. However, no one admitted that they were mirror images of each other in many ways.”

Adele finally concluded that both women felt “bullyed, abused and harassed by each other.”

She said that every woman was slandered: Lu Yin was called a “liar, a bitch and a bitch, and deceived and deceived others” and Shen was called “Shanghai’s most famous cheap woman.”

But in terms of damages, the judge said, “It’s hard to imagine that, except for Ms. Lu and Ms. Shen herself, no one cares about whether Ms. Lu is right or Ms. Shen is right, or whether Ms. Lu and Ms. Lu are right. Shen is to each other. view.”

The judge more or less separated the baby from the middle and ordered Mr. Lu to pay Mr. Shen US$8,500, and ordered Mr. Shen to pay Mr. Lu US$9,000.

The extra $500 is because even after Lu filed the first lawsuit, Shen still posted insults online.

“A wicked person who lied all the way”

According to court documents, Lu applied to the court last month to impose the “most severe punishment” on Shen, on the grounds that Shen failed to pay her final $250 in damages and refused to delete annoying topics from online forums.

Lu wrote: “The defendant never respects the courts and laws of any judge.” “Propose the defendant [in prison]. “

Shen fought back in a lengthy 25-page response. She accused Lu of “an evil man who lied on his lips.”

The alleged attack occurred around 10 a.m. Pacific time, when the two women were scheduled to appear before a judge on the third floor of the court building.

According to the police, the sheriff who provided security for the building detained Shen after he was suspected of stabbing Lu.

Shen made a brief appearance in Vancouver Provincial Court on Wednesday. She is still in custody and plans to hold a bail hearing on Friday morning.

A spokesperson for the British Columbia Attorney General’s Office told CBC that the incident has been learned and the details are being reviewed to see if further security measures are necessary.

It is strictly forbidden to bring all weapons into the court, but the sheriff does not regularly enter the building except during some high-profile criminal cases (such as criminal cases involving gang members or extradition procedures for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou) Inspect the public.

No allegations have been confirmed in court.
