Chinese telecom fraudster surnamed Tang shows off the scars from selling his kidney to pay debts. (Picture taken from CCTV)
Chinese state media recently released a documentary that revealed the shocking shady story of the fraud park in northern Myanmar. A Chinese man said that he once smuggled himself into the park to "work" under the mistaken belief that he could make money. However, due to poor performance, he was resold, beaten, and forced to sign a huge IOU. When he was severely beaten and seriously injured, he was asked to "sell his kidney to pay off the debt," and was then taken to a simple place for surgery. In front of the camera, he lifted up his clothes to reveal a surgical scar about 30 centimeters long on his waist. The scene was horrifying.
According to the content of the documentary released by CCTV, a man surnamed Tang smuggled to northern Myanmar in 2021. After entering the local fraud park, he was forced to sign a RMB 70,000 (approximately NT$330,000) IOU because he was unable to achieve performance, and was later resold to other parks. Due to his continued poor performance in the new park, he was beaten frequently, and his wounds even ulcerated and he was unable to walk.

When interviewed, Tang Nan said that the park offered him to "sell a kidney to pay off debts." He said that at that time, he just wanted to escape from the park. "Not to mention a kidney, I am willing to saw blade legs and saw blade hands." Later, the person in charge of the park told him that "the match was successful" and took him to a farmyard for surgery.
Tang Nan also recalled that he was called a "pig boy" in the park, but his actual situation was even worse than the name. He described that the park does not treat people as human beings at all and "doesn't treat you as a thing at all." He revealed that the park was not about "making a lot of money" as the outside world said. Instead, he lived a life of "human beings and ghosts." It was not until he experienced it himself that he truly understood what "hell" was.
