The widow of renowned Chinese film director Xie Jin is suing two bloggers for saying her husband died while spending the night with a prostitute.
Xu Dawen is demanding Song Zude and Liu Xinda delete articles on Xie's death from their blogs on major Chinese portal Web sites, and pay a total of 500,000 yuan (US$73,000) for psychological injury.
The Jing'an District People's Court in Shanghai accepted the case on Monday.
Song posted an article on October 19 last year saying Xie, 84, slept with a prostitute in a hotel in Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, the night he died.
Song's friend Liu Xinda wrote in his blog that Xie died after "whoring". (Northeast web)
