Four-year-old Chinese boy gifts gold bar worth $15k to girl as ‘engagement’ gift

In a bizarre move, a little Chinese boy gifted gold bar worth $15,000 to a girl in his nursery school class. 

Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported that the four-year-old boy gifted the gold bars as an “engagement gift.”

The incident unfolded in Guang'an, Sichuan province, southwestern China, on December 22. When the excited girl showed the extraordinary gift to her parents, they were left shocked and confused. The girl’s parents not only asked her to return the gold bar to the boy the next day but also contacted the boy’s family and informed them about the happenings.

It turned out that the boy’s parents had stashed the gold bar for his future bride. “The boy's parents said they had told their son that the gold bar was intended for his future wife, but they didn't expect him to secretly take them out and give them to our daughter,'' the girl's mother was quoted as saying by the SCMP.

She also warned other parents to beware of similar acts by their children.
