Tianya Lanyao, a Chinese teacher at Beijiao Middle School in Shunde, Guangdong, was taken away by Dongguan police for writing about the桑拿industry in Dongguan. His wife said that his work "does not involve pornography at all and is just a realistic critical novel," adding that although the novel depicts the桑拿industry in Dongguan, he has never been to a桑拿place himself and is unclear about the actual situation of the桑拿industry in Dongguan.
