China boy smashes glass ceiling, chandelier worth total of US$56,000 in Labubu rage

A Chinese influencer has revealed that a petulant child who was upset at being refused a Labubu toy shattered a glass ceiling and smashed a crystal chandelier, causing more than 400,000 yuan (US$56,000) of damage.

However, the child’s parents offered just 20,000 yuan (US$2,800) in compensation, saying they were too poor to pay.

incident attracted public attention after a male influencer, known online as “Little Azheng”, or “Tail Brother”, told on social media how a relative had visited his home with a young boy.

During the visit, the boy noticed the influencer’s Labubu doll adorned with expensive jewellery and threw a tantrum, demanding the toy for himself.

When his request was denied, the boy “made a big fuss” and began to cry and cause a scene.

In a fit of rage, he grabbed a remote-control device and hurled it into the air, shattering the mirror-glass ceiling of the living room, which was valued at 100,000 yuan (US$14,000).

He also damaged a valuable Italian crystal chandelier, estimated to be worth 300,000 yuan (US$42,000).

Photos shared by the influencer showed shards of glass scattered across the floor and the shattered chandelier lying on the ground.
