Ly San was born in a small village in the northern mountainous area of Vietnam. In 2010, she left home for dental treatment in a town 60 km away, but there she met a woman who tricked her into travelling across the border to China. She was sold as a bride to a Chinese husband and wasn’t able to escape and return to her children and family for four years.

Quick summary She got betrayed by her own people twice. The only people who treat her nice were the Chinese people. She get to eat chicken for dinner and a husband that never lay hand on her. She learned to use WeChat. Once she's back home, the police abandoned her like the husband abandoned her daughter. Her adventure to China is very popular in her village and she become very knowledgeable about the world. 🤓

Third world countries tend to have much higher psychopathy rates, something that is kind of pushed under the rug due to it easily being seen as a racist view. If you grew up in either North America (USA/CAD) or the down under (AUS/NZ) and a few other places, then you’re lucky to have grown up around normal people for the most part, but it will be a shocker as to how different people are if you go to places like Vietnam, Nigeria, Mexico, etc. It’s almost as if the entire nation has a mental disorder.

@@tiffanym8494 My theories are overpopulation and “Old Word BS.” Overpopulation because that makes people feel less empathy for others as there are so many people, so why does it matter if a few of them dies? So other human lives has less value to them. It’s a general principle of loosing appreciation for something when you have so many of it. By Old World BS, I mean stuff like casteism (seeing someone as less than an animal because of their last name), religious beliefs that makes no sense and creates more divisions, old ethnic tensions (Tutsi vs Hutu in Rwanda is just one of many examples), dumb national pride that makes people think they are the superior group because of the actions of people who happened to have lived in the same place thousands of years ago, holding grudges from events that happened long before they were even born, etc. And all the problems that we still have in western countries like racism, sexism, etc, are amplified like a hundred fold in these places. I’d agree with harsh environments and problematic childhoods too. It’s kind of like a repeating cycle. I’d know, I grew up in that world until the age of 9 when I moved to the US. What’s the best way to break the cycle? If the next generation grows up in the west. Otherwise, there’s really no hope.

There is a notorious tradition of favoring boys over girls in rural China, which ultimately leads to a significant imbalance of sex ratio. Thus there exists a market for trafficking women (and children), either from other areas of China or from abroad. You can find more in the "Chained Woman" story.

There are cases that some girls are drugged and become sex slave for the whole family in Chinese rural area, where she is chained and raped by 6-7 old men everyday ( they are so poor and too old to have wife).

Thank you for posting. It's not surprising that human trafficking, particularly women trafficking exists in this day and age. Unfortunately, many cases are disguised as consensual marriages between 3rd world Asian women and men from affluent Asian countries, where those Asian men would pay a huge sum of money to the marriage agency to buy a wife from neighbouring poor countries to ''serve the husband like a maid in the day and offer sex services at night'' as promoted by one of a marriage agencies in Singapore.

I remember there was even one time I saw the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan posted an article to educate Chinese men about how it is not Okay to buy woman from local human trafficker. They are treating women from other countries in the same way how we were treated by the European colonizers. This is what most men would do once he gets economically superior than other people. Maybe it's just biology, maybe it's about immorality, maybe it's human nature. I don't know.

Cybersex trafficking (“the recruitment and transportation of victims and their live-streamed rape, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation by traffickers, some of whom are tortured to death”) is becoming more prevalent in China. Its victims are often girls as young as 9 years of age who are “forced to perform graphic sex acts and are sexually assaulted in front of webcams which are live-streamed to a paying audience. Xiang Xiang came to China three years ago to seek a decent life, only to find that her destination was a brothel in Dongxing. She has been working as a prostitute in Dongxing, since being trafficked and sold by her *older female cousin,* who is married to a Chinese man and living in the city. Xiang Xiang started considering a move to China after her cousin returned home to visit relatives, flaunting her own “affluent and easy” life in China in front of the then-17-year-old village girl. “She kept talking about her life - a life I had always dreamed of - and persuaded me to go with her. Her account sounded credible to me at the time, since she was dressed in Chinese top brands from head to foot and wore dazzling gold jewellery,” Xiang Xiang recalled.

They may have attempted to report this type of crime to authorities, but they were unsuccessful. Human trafficking is a widespread issue all over the world. What’s more disturbing is that there may be a lack of initiative to actually prevent crimes like trafficking from ever reoccurring. I hope these victim(s) continue to fight for their own good.

I don't understand how in some marriage customs all over Asia, it's "ok" to just kidnap girls (allot of the time when they're still in their teens) and it be totally ok and not considered kidnap or human trafficking!!

It is terrible all the crap that humans do to others due to greed. There is a shortage of women in China due to their one child policy. So with the Chinese wanting their family names to be carried on, they wanted boys. And also, when men get married, they usually stay with their parents so when a woman marries, she leaves to her husbands home and in doing so leaves her own aging parents without family to care for them. It’s a sad harsh truth. But tragic nonetheless. I feel so bad for the victims since many aren’t so lucky to return home.

Trafficking in my country isn't as common as it used to be, but it's taking on a different form. is not human trafficking by kidnapping. It is a sad fact that in my country. Many young women in the countryside find a chance to change their lives by marrying Taiwanese and Korean men. I even know a youtube channel that deals with Vietnamese women, they market themselves to be chosen by Korean men.

My uncle in law, before he died, worked as a border guard. The Mekong delta side of China/Vietnam. They’ve apprehended trafficked people and Chinese people trying to traffic Vietnamese people. The majority of them only know some form of Chinese, so no Vietnamese or English. Women were given harsh orders in a language they didn’t know. When the majority of the world was on Covid lockdown, Chinese people still came into Vietnam to participate in human trafficking. It’s hard to communicate to these traffickers, as his sector only speaks English and Vietnamese.

All race are equal to each other, no one superior than other race, only God is superior. Marriage is cannot be a 'transaction' like buy or selling. If the woman who will get married, do not agree with the marriage, the marriage are not permissible. It is prohibited to force that women to marry in that kind of situation. The marriage also will not be acknowledged as a 'MARRIAGE'. This kind of things is not human's nature. But, devil's that wearing human mask nature. The people who take advantage of women are not human. That's for sure.

The one child policy backfiring China really hard. Affected by such policy, most families in China prioritize male over female babies, cuz they thought man will have more opportunities to get job and take care of them in their old days. Then obviously male to female ratio became imbalanced and had to take drastic measures, and that is "import" women from outside China. There are actually many legal ones college or work related relationships or something like that, and some barely legal that close to this video's tragedy through a matcmaking agent.

The one child policy was not a bad idea because they were having a serious overpopulation issue. The problem was that they have an extremely misogynistic culture, where boys are valued much higher than girls. So they would abort or kill female babies... this is what caused the gender imbalance. As usual due to their own stupidity, more women are suffering, being kidnapped, raped etc. Then they expect sympathy because they can't find wives? No.
