Water Splashing Festival Turns Ugly: Woman Injured by High-Pressure Water Gun

The Water Splashing Festival, a traditional celebration in China's Yunnan province, has been marred by controversy in recent years. The festival, which is meant to symbolize the washing away of sins and the welcoming of the new year, has devolved into a chaotic and sometimes violent event. This year's festival, which took place from April 13 to 15, saw numerous reports of attendees being attacked with high-pressure water guns, resulting in injuries and even hospitalizations.
