A woman has gone viral on Chinese social media after hitting her boss with a mop over inappropriate text messages.
What happened: The woman, a government worker from northeastern China who has been identified only as Zhou, was caught on video fighting back after her boss had allegedly harassed her, the New York Times reported.
In the 14-minute Weibo video, which has been watched millions of times, Zhou pours water over her boss.
Zhou also throws books at his face and beats him with a mop while he tries to apologize.
She claims that she received unwanted text messages from him three times, and he reportedly sent similar ones to Zhou’s co-workers.
The aftermath: Zhou’s boss, who has been identified as Wang, was fired after the incident, according to The Independent.
Zhou filed a police report about her boss last week, and the authorities were allegedly looking into her report before the video of her went viral.
It is unclear when this confrontation took place.
She has not been disciplined, and several social media users have commended her bravery and her demand for justice.
