Woman in China hits man at Haidilao restaurant, resembling classic Wu Song scene
A recent brawl in China has gone viral over its resemblance to a scene from the classic Chinese novel Water Margin (水滸傳).
According to Sing Tao Daily, the incident occurred at a Haidilao outlet in Changsha city in Hunan province.
Jiang Yan, a female celebrity, was dining at the restaurant when a man started hurling insults.
The man claims to be a famous lawyer from Hong Kong.
The incident soon escalated as the man, at one point, allegedly threw food in Jiang’s direction.

Jiang only stopped her assault after the crowd around her pulled them apart.
While violence in all forms deserved condemnation, netizens couldn’t help but notice how the brawl looked like a scene out of Wu Song’s encounter with a tiger — a famous scene from Water Margin.
In the fictional tale, a drunk Wu Song pinned a tiger before raining blows on the large cat.

He then proceeded to smash the tiger’s head to ensure its death.

She also posted videos on Douyin condemning her own actions while urging netizens to stop circulating videos of the brawl.
