Mother of Eight Found Chained Up in Shed Next to Family Home in Xuzhou
“Do you even treat this woman as a human being?”
A TikTok video showing a mother of eight living in a small hut with an iron chain around her neck has sent shockwaves across Chinese social media. According to local authorities, the woman is suffering from mental illness and is currently receiving care.
But many netizens are still waiting for answers. Video footage showing a woman from a village in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, being chained up and living in appalling conditions has shocked Chinese netizens this week. The story went viral after a vlogger filmed the woman’s living conditions while visiting Huankou village in Feng County on Wednesday, the 26th of January. The man who visited the woman has an account on TikTok (Douyin) focused on showing the stories and circumstances of disadvantaged people. The TikTok video first shows the vlogger talking to children inside the home; the woman is claimed to be the mother of eight children in total. They tell the man that their mother is brought food every day. The vlogger then walks up to an old doorless shed next to the house, where he finds the woman with an iron chain around her neck, wearing no coat in the middle of winter. The man offers to bring the woman some warm clothes. He also finds that the food on the table is cold, as it is zero degrees outside. The woman does not really seem to understand what the man is saying and she has a glazed look in her eyes.
After getting a jacket for her, the man then returns to the shed and helps the woman put on the jacket. This time, it appears that another person is filming and the man turns to the camera and says: “What this woman is put through in this cold.. where did the compassion go?” The video caused a storm on social media, where many were quick to draw comparisons to the 2007 movie Blind Mountain (盲山).
That movie, directed by Li Yang, tells the story of a woman named Bai who is kidnapped and sold to a villager in the mountains, leaving Bai completely trapped. Many netizens worried about the woman’s circumstances. Why was she chained up? Was she a victim of human trafficking? Was she being abused? Was she forced to have so many children? What happened to her teeth? While netizens were speculating about the case and venting their anger, Weibo shut down some of the hashtags dedicated to this topic. On Friday, January 28, Feng County authorities responded to the controversy, claiming the woman and her husband named Dong were married in 1998 and that the woman developed a mental illness involving violent behavior. The woman, named Yang, previously would display sudden violent outbursts, beating children and older people. The family allegedly thought it was best to separate her from the family home, letting her stay in a small hut next to the house. The vlogger allegedly caught the woman as she had just woken up, suggesting this would explain her clothes and messy hair. Authorities further stated that they could confirm that Yang is not a victim of human trafficking. They also said that Feng County and the Women’s Federation are now involved in helping the family. Yang is reportedly receiving care and the family is also provided additional assistance “to ensure they will have a warm Spring Festival.” The hashtag “Official Announcement Regarding the Circumstances of the Xuzhou Woman with Eight Kids” (#官方通报徐州丰县生育八孩女子情况#) received over 150 million views by Saturday. Popular WeChat blogging account NewsBro wrote about the story on Friday, saying that the officials who came up with the aforementioned statement must have just released what they had on file about the family without actually seeing for themselves how the woman was kept in the small hut. Even though it is probably true that Yang suffers from a mental illness, NewsBro says, it does not excuse her being mistreated like this and letting her live chained up in the cold. Many netizens are also not satisfied with how authorities have responded to this issue, condemning the fact that their statements blatantly ignore how Yang was chained up and also questioning why a mentally ill woman was able to have eight children at all. “Do you even treat this woman as a human being?”, one top commenter wondered, with many others wondering how this situation apparently was not seen as a crime. “Where are her parents?” others asked. “A ‘warm Spring Festival’?! Did you even see the iron chain around her neck?! This woman needs to be treated at a hospital instead of being imprisoned in her own home while having children,” another person wrote. Manga artist Yaduo (@呀哆) shared a drawing focused on Yang’s story on Weibo, showing a chained up woman and a total of eight children. Outside the door you see the children’s father, wearing a mask while talking to a reporter. Drawing by @呀哆. This refers to another video in which Dong, Yang’s husband, is being interviewed and tells how he struggles to take care of their eight children, saying that he is basically taking care and cooking for “nine children,” including his wife. Dong allegedly also opened up his own TikTok account, although at the time of writing, that account no longer seemed available. On Saturday night, some Weibo bloggers claimed that Yang has now been admitted to a psychiatric hospital and that the children have currently been relocated by local authorities, but these claims were not confirmed by official sources at the time of writing. Various tragic stories about Chinese people from disadvantaged backgrounds have recently led to online turmoil, such as the story about the migrant worker with Covid19 who spent all his money on the search for his missing son and the student who committed suicide after discovering his parents sold him as a child. Just before Yang’s circumstances gained traction online, Chinese state media outlet China Daily focused on the recent public attention for stories featuring social problems.1 According to Dr. Liu Leming, associate professor at East China University’s Political Science faculty, government agencies need to follow up and respond more quickly to social incidents like these in the internet era: “When public issues emerge, people who are involved in social problems or incidents want to know, more than anything, whether their requests have been seen and who will handle their concerns.” For now, thousands of netizens are waiting for another update on Yang, wishing a better life for her in the near future.
