More than 3,000 young people were tricked or forced into in to the four-month long course. To enroll their children, parents or guardians had to sign a contract acknowledging that they would be given electric shocks of up to 200 milliamperes. The treatment cost 6,000 yuan ($878) per month... Shocks were given if patients broke any of the center’s 86 rules, which included prohibitions on eating chocolate, locking the bathroom door, taking pills before a meal, and sitting in Dr. Yang's chair without permission. Details of the treatment first became public when former patients wrote about their experiences online...

"The finding of study show that electric shock therapy is indeed effective at eliminating selected behavior. The test subject now have trouble even approaching to a video game. Test subject also no longer eat, sleep, defecate, walk, use doorknob, sit in chair, talk, or blink eye. Base upon these result we conclude that the success of the experiment has brought great honor and glory to the People's Republic."
