LI Yang, founder of "Crazy English" who was ordered by the court to split his wealth with his divorced American wife in a high-profile domestic violence case, has filed an appeal, accusing his ex-wife of abusing him.
Li was ordered on February 3 to pay Kim Lee a one-off sum of 12 million yuan (US$1.9 million) based on assets the couple shared and another 50,000 yuan in compensation for her psychological trauma.
Kim Lee was granted custody of their three daughters, aged 10, 6 and 4, and their father must give each child 100,000 yuan a year for living and education until they reach the age of 18.
The Chaoyang District People's Court in Beijing accepted Li's appeal on Monday, the last day of a 15-day grace period, China National Radio reported today.
Li refused to pay the amount of money to Lee and asked the court to check whether she has psychological problems for her propensity for abuse and violence.
He said Lee sometimes beat him first, locked him outside for hours at night, deleted his computer files, dumped his books and documents in a pool, and threw food leftover at him when he was giving a lecture.
Li also pleaded the court to let him raise his three daughters, who are attending an expensive international school in Beijing, because Lee has no stable income and cannot afford the costs.
Besides, he said, the girls can study Chinese culture better by staying with him.
Lee didn't appeal to the court verdict.
