The former chairman of the Bank of China married his son's ex-girlfriend. He had initially convinced his son to break up with his girlfriend as she was "not a suitable match for their family background". Yes, you read that right. This just might be the most diabolical violation of the "bro code" we've ever seen. Former Chairman of Bank of China Marries Son's Ex-Girlfriend After Previously Convincing Son to Break Up With Her Our man of the hour is none other than 63-year-old Liu Liange, the former chairman of the Bank of China. Image: World Economic Forum Yes, that Liu Liange, the one who was handed the death sentence recently. If you've yet to hear about this, fret not, we'll tell you more about it later. Anyway, back to the story. When Liu's son first introduced his then-girlfriend to his family, Liu allegedly convinced his son to break up with his then-girlfriend because she was not suited to their family background. So, the usual reason from a parent's "How to Disapprove of Your Child's Partner" playbook lah. Liu's son eventually did break up with his then-girlfriend. At this juncture, he probably thought that was the last he would see of his now ex-girlfriend. However, he was wrong. A few months later, his ex-girlfriend would return into his life once again, but not in a role anyone would expect. She would return into his life as a stepmother of sorts. Liu alleged married his son's ex-girlfriend six months after they broke up. Yes, you read that right. A father convincing his son to break up with their girlfriend, before marrying his son's ex-girlfriend six months after the couple broke up. It sounds like a story for a TikTok video, but it allegedly really happened. Liu's move reportedly caused his son to fall into depression. Liu Liange's Marriage With Son's Ex-Girlfriend Was Allegedly His Fourth Marriage Further, Liu's marriage to his son's ex-girlfriend was far from his first marriage, or even his second. It was allegedly Liu's fourth marriage. And according to SCMP, Liu's partners got progressively younger with each new marriage. Liu's very first marriage also came under scrutiny, after some pointed out that his rapid rise to become the youngest chairman among the "Big Four" state-owned banks in China was facilitated by his first wife. His first wife was reportedly the daughter of a high official. After Liu's initial success, he divorced his first wife and apparently married a young mistress. Wah... Buey brother sia. The 63-year-old allegedly has multiple extramarital affairs as well, with some claiming that he frequently summoned female subordinates to his office for late-night "heart to heart chats". Liu Liange Handed Death Sentence With Two-Year Reprieve Earlier This Year If you didn't already know, the man that we've been talking about is also the same man who was handed a death sentence just last month. On 26 November, Liu was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting bribes and illegally issuing loans. Image: Xinhua The bribes he accepted amounted to more than 121 million yuan (US$17 million). The loans he illegally issued amounted to an even larger sum of more than 3.32 billion yuan (US$450 million). Liu's illicit gains were confiscated. But wait — simi is a "death sentence with a two-year reprieve"? It's a little like a "floating" death penalty lah. Although Liu is sentenced to death, he gets a two-year reprieve from being executed. After the two-year period, the death sentence is automatically converted to life imprisonment if Liu did not commit an intentional crime during that two-year period. Alternatively, if Liu has performed "great meritorious service" during the two-year period, the death sentence will be converted to a fixed-term imprisonment of 25 years.
