Chinese man gives his girlfriend a US$50,000 banknote bouquet, but did he break the law?


They say money can’t buy you love, but that didn’t deter a Chinese man who last week gave his girlfriend a huge bouquet of “flowers” made from more than 334,000 yuan (US$52,300) worth of banknotes.

Photographs shared online showed the woman, from the southwestern megacity of Chongqing, standing in front of the heart-shaped floral display of precisely 3,344 100-yuan bills during her birthday celebration at a hotel, Chongqing Morning Post reported on Thursday.
