It was a Sunday. My neighbours wanted to bring their twenty-one year old son to a dentist to extract his tooth. They were going to go a dental clinic in a government hospital downtown. I followed them as I was going downtown too. It was also a time when I followed many local friends to many places in Shenyang to explore the city. The dental clinic was quite empty that day. A dentist was available soon and he started working to extract the boy’s teeth. To my absolute horror, halfway down the procedure, he picked up a small hammer and a chisel and knocked the rest of his teeth out. I almost fainted right there.
