A woman in China grabbed attention for hanging banners to thank her best friend for "sleeping" with her husband for five years, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported. The banners, displayed on the fence of a residential complex in Changsha, in central China's Hunan province, have been widely seen as a sarcastic way of expressing gratitude to her best friend, surnamed Shi.

Not just banners, there were also pennants. However, the wife's exact intentions behind the public display are unclear, but it may be seen as a way of publicly revealing the infidelity.
