For everyone who thinks they have it so bad here:

Woman who gouged eyes of Chinese boy sought

Police in northern China launched a massive search Wednesday for a woman accused of gouging out the eyes of a 6-year-old boy.

Authorities in the city of Linfen in Shanxi province offered a 100,000 yuan ($16,000) reward for the woman's capture.

Police did not say if they had identified a suspect, and the boy said only that the woman spoke with an accent from outside the area. State media said the boy was recovering in a hospital, but had lost his sight permanently following the brutal ordeal

I don't know if this was a racist attack or what. Our guide told us they do have some version of affirmative action there and that certain segments of the population are considered 'minorities.'

What a gruesome thing. I'm surprised this news got out of China.
