Husband chained his wife's neck under a cold warehouse below 0 degrees, revealing the terrible truth about wife buying in the countryside

Recently, China has strongly dealt with local officials for not completing the case of a husband chaining his wife's neck in a warehouse under the cold 0 degrees.

For many Chinese people, the image of a mother of eight children dressed in rags, sitting huddled in a cold storage below 0 degrees Celsius has inadvertently recalled a terrifying memory that was once forgotten by society, when rural areas The country's villages face trafficking and violence against women.

After numerous denials, the local authorities finally acknowledged the possibility of human trafficking in this case. The government has also punished at least 17 local officials for the incident, which has caused a stir in the country in recent times.

The case sparked intense controversy over mental health and human trafficking, after a blogger posted a video showing a woman chained to her neck in a cold warehouse in Jiangsu province. The provincial government said the woman suffered from schizophrenia and was trafficked several times, including once in 1998 for about 5,000 yuan ($791) after being arrested from her home in Yunnan.

Officials said a "comprehensive and thorough investigation and remediation of the woman's rights violation" had been carried out. They revealed that the woman, known as Xiaohuamei, is a mother of eight children and is being treated at the hospital. Paying to buy a wife was once common in rural China and in Jiangsu, where there is a huge gender disparity. This phenomenon occurred most strongly in the period 1980 - 1990.

"In 1998 in Phung Hien district, every village had at least dozens of wives bought from southern provinces," said Luo Zhenzhong, a former prosecutor who handled human trafficking cases in the 1980s. "The sense of law in these villages is very low. Most people think it's normal to buy a wife." Notably, women who try to escape are often brutally tortured when caught. "They will be beaten badly. I really don't want to remember that memory."

Related to some cultures and customs in China, "Noisy Kiss" is a long-standing Chinese wedding custom, stemming from the fact that in the old days both men and women married arranged by their parents, the first day she got married. The bride and groom met on the same day of the wedding, so both sides were strangers to each other.

To avoid the awkward atmosphere, the groom's family will perform some tricks to make the atmosphere lively and cheerful, which is the noble meaning behind this custom.

However, as life is becoming more and more modern, the custom of "happy marriage" is increasingly transformed and gradually becomes a custom that should be eliminated. The story that Sohu news site recently shared proves that.

Accordingly, in the shared video, a man believed to be the groom sat on a woman's neck and let this woman carry her for a while. The owner of the video said that the person carrying the groom is the bride's biological mother, this is a wedding custom in their locality.

The short clip after being posted has received countless criticisms from netizens. Most think that this is an extremely obscene image, the act of showing disrespect, even potentially causing injury to anyone involved.

The story once again aroused the anger of the Chinese online community when in the past there were many stories about offensive "hustle" custom such as throwing food at the bride, letting the groomsmen groped the bride, etc. ..

Regarding this issue, a sociological expert expressed his opinion: "This is no longer a good custom, it is too offensive and disrespectful. If this custom continues to advance, would violate many moral standards of society."

Another opinion from a cultural expert said: "In Chinese there is an expression called "Di customary customs" which means to change customs that are no longer suitable. The ancients knew that if customs were to be changed, the ancients knew that If the custom is no longer suitable for the times, it must be changed. Now, if we still keep these customs, surely the ancients will not accept it."
