I'm a young female in my 20s have complex PTSD & depression for nearly 10 years. The days of I stay in China those keeps reminding me I was beaten, tied up and imprisoned at my age 13 in a boot camp was aimed for treating so-called "Internet Addiction" , it was a part of a mental hospital (asylum) named Baiyun psychological hospital(白云心理医院) located in Guangzhou city. Now my horrifying memories are overflowing.
A range of children and adults from 10 to 30s been kidnapped into the mental asylum, forced to follow the military training schedule given by the camp: Queue training in the morning, physical training in the afternoon, such as push-ups, sit-ups, squats 500 times for each; Crouch-walking, jogging for 10 laps around the playground etc. from 6 am to 6 pm. 8pm was the time for review meeting of the day.
We had to sing 3 Chinese patriot songs before eating. Sometimes if the coaches(PLA veterans worked in camp) were being cranky, they would blow whistle at 12am- 2am in the morning called for emergency assembly, then command us to practice physical exercises, for example: 500 push-ups+ 500 squats+ shuttle crouch-walking for 200 times.
If I disobeyed the coaches, nurses, doctors and volunteers those in charge of the boot camp I could ended up been beaten, dragged to a small room with camera surveillance, all limbs tied up on a metal bed frame without mattress.
I had been dragged to the room 5 times during the 1 yr "treatment" , each time I was constrained for 24 hours in 3 days. My metal bed frame was put along one side with some teenage boys already been constrained for more than a month, one had intellectual disability. I refused to eat at the first time arrived in the room, they plugged a tube into my nose all the way down to my food track, poured porridge inside. No kid could endure that acute, disgusting feeling. Eventually I gave up, succumbed to them.
We must take our medicines everyday and they were expensive. The doctors prescribed 15 tablets of unknown medications for me, 3 times a day.
Suicide was common among the young people inside the camp, some tried to drink cleaning chemicals, some bumped onto walls, but we couldn't find any sharp tools those had been confiscated.
A 10 years old boy smashed the window in the toilet of surveillance room, meanwhile he already was in bondage for 3 days. He intended to slice his wrist, but soon the staff members found out, controlled him. Many young people witnessed blood and glass fragments were everywhere. He was sent to another hospital via ambulance. The other time an ambulance came in was a coach kicked a girl's stomach, the girl screamed and fainted.
Parents were permitted to visit the kids fortnightly. We were ordered to prepare a performance of singing or straight plays relevant to the theme of filial piety. Crying kids and whistle blowers must be taken to the surveillance room, constrained and let their parents leave.
After 3 months in there I had a chance to go on a 'parole', it meant I was allowed to return home for a month. Once my parents were unsatisfied with the "refomed me" they could give a call to the boot camp, soon the coaches would bring ropes to kidnap me back to there again. I attempted several times of suicide within that month, so the coaches arrived with ropes prepared. I was not surprised, whereas in despair.
Half year later they finally released me, nether my severe depression nor "Internet Addiction" have cured. The first thing I did was to purchase 5 paper cutters hide under my pillow. I dreamed nights and nights of nightmares, became scared to hospitals and schools as well. 4 years later my family immigrated to Australia, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, severe depression and anxiety in Sydney.
My motive for writing this memoir was the infamous event at the end of last year went viral on Chinese internet, now completely forgotten by China as coronavirus outbreak occurred, it was called the "Yuzhang Academy (豫章书院) incident" , an illegal correctional school where many parents sent their naughty kids in, hoped to reform them. The workers in the academy punished the kids with whips and metal rulers, and locked some of these young people in a cell as the result of their noncompliance.
The incident also linked to another earlier case in 2009, a doctor named Yang Yongxin (杨永信) claimed he could cure children's addiction to the Internet, he utilised electrical shocks, illegal imprisonment, and cult-like brain wash on the young people who were sent to his boot camp which belonged to a mental hospital in Linyi, Shandong province of China. The young people's parents were participating and assisting Yang Yongxin's process of the treatments, mostly with no regrets afterwards.

Both Yang Yongxin and the founder of Yuzhang Academy never got caught, living in freedom till nowadays. The government shut down Yuzhang Academy however still allowing the founders of "Internet Addiction" correctional boot camps and academies open new ones, operate in exactly the same mode. These boot camps and academies remain running as intact as they used to be.
Not only that, Baiyun psychological hospital is still running whether the place and its staff had created my worst nightmares, caused my 9 years of PTSD. The agony will keep going on and on even after the place closed, even at the end of my entire life.
P. S. I was never diagnosed with Internet addiction outside of that Baiyun psychological hospital where held the boot camp. Internet Addiction was never officially acknowledged by any professionals, medical practitioners worldwide or WHO. Some malicious Chinese doctors associated with these illegal correctional boot camps, academies fabricated the whole thing to make massive profits.
Internet can't be chemically addictive to human body. Internet is just a tool people use it on daily basis to access more information. It's like saying money is a drug, the more you have them they will destroy your health, or, you are addicted to money because you use them every day.
I wish my tragedy was a hoax and it never happened. But I can tell the exact location of the boot camp I've been in. The google map address is Guangzhou Baiyun Psychology Hospital in China, Guangdong Province, Guangzhou, Baiyun, 白云大道北586号 https://g.co/kgs/MymHKa and the time I was kidnapped by them was February, 2011. And there were no Chinese cops as staffs just some retired veterans.
Click on the news officially published on China Global Television Network (an International version of china's national TV) then you can tell if I am lying and put my own life as a joke.

А мне кажется, что если человек жил в интеллектуально бедной среде, где нечему научиться, и начал из-за этого играть в компьютерные игры. То попав потом в среду интеллектуально богатую, где каждый что-то умеет делать очень хорошо, человек поразится этому как чуду. И начнет прокачивать скиллы не у героя в компьютере, а у себя, т.к. это интереснее. Больше гормонов наверное каких-нибудь.
Но это если про игры. Или компьютерная зависимость более широкое понятие?
не, на матфаке Вышки примерно половина
людей уровня победителей межнара (верхние
5-10% принятых) либо не заканчивают бакалавриат,
либо выпадают из научного процесса в аспирантуре,
по причине игровой зависимости
это и на всех остальных, конечно, распространяется,
игрозависимость это очень интересно, круче наркомании
Ну, может быть потому что книжечек не читают? Всякую там историю-философию. Просто не было крутого чувака, который бы их притянул к математике еще и как-то культурно. Чтобы оно в контексте историии было. Или просто даже, без математики, никто не показал, что мусолить исторические события (кто кого съел, кожу там спустил, говном накормил, там же через каждую строчку такое) и пытаться прогнозировать на их основе будущее может быть увлекательным. Ну или я не знаю, полно же гуманитарных развлечений, вы наверное намного лучше меня хи знаете. Мне кажется, в общем, гуманитарное вытеснить игрушечки может.
Еще мне кажется если играет ребенок, то пиздить можно. Но я не разбираюсь в этом. Меня пиздили, и знакомых моих. И норм. Тупые конечно мы, но я уверен этого не от побоев, а от того, что все вообще тупые тупые вокруг. Когда за дело пиздили я вообще не обижаюсь - с благодарностью вспоминаю. Просто кроме битья надо еще что-то предлагать, альтернативу какую-то. Поэтому кнут и пряник в виде гуманитарной области. Мне кажется.
И мне кажется играешь от безысходности только. Не с кем обсудить, запутался и т.д. А когда какая-то движуха, есть с кем обсудить, кто-то может объяснить. Странно, видимо это индивидуально.
Мне кажется, Миша сам игроман, и он смотрит на
вещи несколько иначе, по-моему.
Ну, я вот как раз подумал, что иначе. Т.е. это у кого как, индвидиуально. Непонятно только как, интересно. Мне то мой вариант казался самым очевидным. Вроде того, что в жизни не прет, так отвлекусь игрой. А какая еще мотивация бывает я даже не знаю.
>какая еще мотивация бывает
примерно как у "много жрать"
и "пить много водки":
стресс, беспокойство, одиночество
в этом плане игры много лучше, даже лучше таблеточек
(и я не знаю никого, кто оставался бы конченым
игроманом дольше 20 лет, то есть эта хуйня
сама себя вылечивает) | |
