Cost of romance

The story of a woman who woke up with her face paralyzed could serve as a warning to those who prefer impressing others over taking care of themselves, especially during the chilly winter weather.

A 22-year-old who was determined to impress Mr Right on a Christmas Eve date wore a thin coat and skirt in minus 4 degrees Celcius temperature in Wuhai, Hubei province. But the move proved costly.
