Li Xiaoran's four-line divorce announcement became a nationwide explainer on marital debt after her ex-husband's company was ordered to pay 21 million yuan. Legal bloggers' verdict: the debts are not hers.
A man jailed for fraud in Zhejiang came out to find over 500,000 yuan gone from his frozen account — some of it allegedly transferred to a police officer, who has admitted taking it. Police have opened a theft case.

China's leading film award released its 39th nomination list on Monday, putting 'Nanjing Photo Studio', 'The Volunteers' and a Yue-opera star's screen debut in the running — and within hours Weibo was compiling its own review of the jury's taste, complete with snubs, category puzzles and one Best Supporting Actress slot left empty.
