A video of a middle-aged woman apparently chained to the wall of a shack by her neck has sparked a national conversation in China about the treatment of people with mental illness.
Taken late last month in the city of Xuzhou in China’s eastern Jiangsu province, the footage showed the woman with a chain padlocked around her neck.
Despite freezing temperatures, her clothes appeared to be too light for the conditions and the man taking the footage offered her his coat which she took from him.
