An argument that ensued at a hotpot restaurant in Wenzhou was blown way out of proportion, resulting in a female customer being sent to intensive care with severe burns to 42 percent of her body.
The waiter, which the police identified as a teenager named Zhu, was reportedly reacting to the diner, a Ms. Lin"s complaints about his service, and ended up pouring hot water on her.
