Episode 9:
Mom Forced Drugs and Electric Torture to Millionaire Daughter, Why..?

In 2010, a Chinese television program received a desperate letter from a woman confined inside a psychiatric hospital. The message was simple: "I am not crazy. Please help me."

The woman, Zhu Jinhong, claimed she had been forcibly hospitalized for months despite having no mental illness.

A Life Built On Success

Zhu Jinhong was not someone people expected to find inside a psychiatric ward. She graduated from a prestigious university, moved to Japan, built a successful career, and invested in multiple properties in major Chinese cities.

By all appearances, she was living a comfortable and successful life. But everything changed when she returned to China and discovered a dispute involving the properties she had entrusted to her mother to manage.

The Fight Over Property

According to Zhu, her mother gradually began treating the properties as if they belonged to her. When Zhu attempted to reclaim control of her assets, the conflict escalated.

Soon afterward, she was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital and placed under guardianship — a legal arrangement that would give control of her affairs and assets to her mother.

What made the situation even stranger was that no clear psychiatric diagnosis existed at the time of her confinement.

Suspicious

As the case gained public attention, investigators uncovered troubling details. Documents used to justify the hospitalization contained irregularities, and a police approval stamp had allegedly been obtained through improper means.

Even more shocking, an independent evaluation later found no evidence that Zhu suffered from mental illness.

Final Thoughts

Most people fear being betrayed by strangers. Zhu Jinhong believed she had been betrayed by her own family.

What started as a dispute over property evolved into a national debate about guardianship, forced psychiatric hospitalization, and how easily a person's freedom could be taken away.

At what point does protecting a family member become controlling their entire life?
