Can you imagine being abducted by illegal laborers and forced to work 20 hours a day, while being whipped at the slightest signs of defiance?

What if you were slapped in your face because you had addressed the teacher by his first name?

A 17 year old boy named Chen was a victim of illegal child labor and abuse and suffered a broken tendon on his right wrist.

A 15 year old girl named Wang Li from Shaanxi suffered a ruptured eardrum after a teacher slapped her for the same exact reason.

A 3 year old girl in Zhengzhou was beaten to death by her parents because she was unable to read.
