Public Outrage Over Boy Urinating in Glass at Hangzhou Restaurant

A controversial incident at Fuyuanju Restaurant in Hangzhou, China, involved a two-year-old boy urinating into a glass, which his mother justified by saying he couldn't hold it anymore. The event, witnessed by a diner named Tang and reported to The Cover, sparked public outrage and debate over acceptable public behavior. Despite a suggestion from an elderly relative to use a bin, the mother encouraged the child to urinate directly into the glass meant for diners, causing discomfort due to the odor. Restaurant staff did not initially intervene, leading to complaints from Tang and her friends. Following the incident, local authorities investigated, and the restaurant eventually apologized, offering a refund and compensation to Tang, which she declined. The incident has been widely discussed on Chinese social media, drawing comparisons to a previous scandal involving the Haidilao hotpot chain.
