China social media shocked by young woman suing parents to divvy up grandmother’s home as she wants to accelerate inheritance to study abroad

A 25-year-old woman in Shanghai sued her parents to force them to either sell her grandmother’s flat or split the sale among three people – including herself – so that she could use the money to fulfil her dream of studying abroad.

The grandmother had received the apartment from the government when her old place was demolished a decade ago. The parents had registered the place under their names and that of her daughter, surnamed Tian.
