A seemingly sweet “trip” planned by his own mother turned out to be a trap, sending him straight to a twisted gaming rehab center full of beatings and mental torture.
The Perfect Trap Set by His Own Mother
The victim in this heartbreaking story is Xiao Wei, 26 years old. For the past three years, he chose a reclusive lifestyle, working entirely from home on online games. Although this job provided a stable income and allowed him to support himself, in the eyes of his mother, Lu An, a grown man locked in his room with a computer was a disgrace and “had no future.”
Unable to accept her son’s lifestyle, last November Lu An secretly signed a six-month “rehabilitation” contract with Chongqing Fumiao Education Consulting Company, a center labeled as a “gaming addiction rehab and youth skills training” facility, charging an outrageous fee of 59,800 yuan (over 210 million VND).
To get her 26-year-old son into the facility without raising suspicion, the mother crafted the perfect plan: invite him on a trip to Chongqing for some fun. Before the trip, Xiao Wei was excited, even grooming himself with a haircut, completely unaware he was about to be pushed into “hell” by the person he trusted most.
82 Horrifying Days Behind the Rehab Center’s Gates
On November 2, as soon as he arrived at the Fumiao Youth Maturity Practice Center in Jiangxin District, Chongqing, the trap snapped shut. All personal belongings, especially his smartphone, the tool he used to earn a living, were confiscated immediately. He entered a lawless imprisonment under the guise of “isolated military training.”
Although the stay lasted only 82 days instead of the contracted six months, this period became a nightmare that completely shattered the young man’s mental health. Xiao Wei was forced into extreme military-style training beyond his physical limits. Any resistance or delay was met with brutal physical punishment. Even worse, he witnessed other trainees being violently beaten and abused by the “trainers” like prisoners.
Unhealable Pain and a Late Fight for Justice
Realizing the disturbing truth behind the center’s flashy ads, on January 16, 2026, Lu An rushed to bring her son home. But it was too late. The 82 days of abuse left a huge psychological scar, freezing the relationship between mother and son into a cold wall of silence.
The mother admitted she deeply regrets and feels guilty for being deceived by false advertising and for betraying her son’s trust, pushing him into misery. However, her pride as a parent stops her from apologizing directly, fearing reopening old wounds would hurt Xiao Wei again.
Unable to communicate with her son, the remorseful mother now channels all her anger and helplessness into filing complaints and lawsuits against the twisted rehab center. She is determined to seek legal justice to help make up for the terrible trauma her son endured.
