The reform that makes it easier to file lawsuits in China has apparently led to the following strange incident: A man who watched the films of a well-known local actress filed a lawsuit against her, claiming that she looked at him during the film and caused him 'mental and spiritual harm'.'

Defendant: A well-known actress in China.

Prosecutor: A man in the big country.

The grounds for the lawsuit: The actress stared at him intently through the television screen and caused him 'mental harm'.

This story does not belong to another science fiction film, but rather a real lawsuit against a Chinese actress named Wei, who is known for having big eyes.

The man explained in court that he had watched one of the actress's films, and the image of her looking at him made him feel as if she was looking at him. "It caused me mental and spiritual damage," the man said.

China recently passed a reform of its legal system that makes it easier to file a lawsuit. Critics of the reform claimed that these simplifications would lead to endless false lawsuits by delusional people who would present unfounded claims - as indeed happened in the current case.
