Summary: born in 1969, Tu Shaoquan doens’t have a lot of money and isn;’t good looking, but in the span of year managed to get three women to bear him three children. After investigation, it was discovered that Tu had a total of five “wives” and seven children.
Ms. He was one of his wives. Her parents divorced at an early age and needing some fatherly love, she fell in love with Tu. After they found that she was pregnant, he convinced her to keep the child. Five months into her pregnancy, she found out that he had other women. She was saddened but unwilling to give up her child, she went on and eventually gave birth to their child. Later on, she discovered that he’d been lying to her all along. He had told her that he was divorced and had one child.
Ms. He discovered that two of his other children were born on November 14, 2006 and December 24, 2006. Her child was born on December 12, 2007. In slightly over a year, Tu had fathered three children.
So here’s the breakdown: Tu had one child from his first marriage, then got divorced. Then he met and married a teacher named Li, and they had two kids. He’s living with her but they have problems. He had another woman named Tang, who bore him two children, but without being married they don’t have his hukou and he doesn’t have to pay childcare; with Liu he had one child, and she returned to her old home in Sichuan to have it, and with Ms. He he had one child.
After discovering that Tu’s whereabouts were unknown, Ms. He contacted Ms. Liu and went to the police station together to report a missing person.
