These past few days, Justin Sun and Hu Xijin have been throwing shade at each other with their essays, but the nature of that 30 million yuan still hasn’t been clarified. Today, Xinhua News Agency published an article titled *‘Don’t Let High Bride Prices Crush the Happiness of Rural Youth’*, emphasizing that bride prices should focus on the ‘gesture’ rather than the ‘money,’ and definitely shouldn’t drain a family’s resources. What’s Xinhua trying to say here? Did they also read a few of Justin’s essays? Looks like Justin’s butterfly effect is flapping its wings, and the centuries-old tradition of bride prices might just get rewritten. @justinsuntron
