People's Daily Online, May 12 - According to reports from the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, a Hong Kong man was recently detained while attempting to exit through the Luohu Port in Shenzhen with 150 copies of the book *3D Meat Pillow Decoded*. The Luohu Customs revealed that the man is suspected of illegally smuggling obscene 3D publications and has been handed over to the customs anti-smuggling department for further processing.

On the afternoon of May 6, the Hong Kong man surnamed Huang attempted to exit through the Luohu Port. Before the checkpoint, he handed over three large cardboard boxes to a professional "water guest," a Hong Kong woman surnamed Chen, who was tasked with pulling the boxes across the checkpoint using a luggage cart while he accompanied her. As Chen pushed the cart containing the boxes through customs, an X-ray machine detected a large number of printed materials inside. Further inspection of the boxes revealed numerous copies of the book *3D Meat Pillow Decoded*.

After counting, it was discovered that the three boxes contained a total of 150 sets of the book along with accompanying 3D glasses. Upon examination, it was determined that the content consisted of ancient obscene illustrations, with the book designed to have a 3D effect requiring special glasses for reading. According to preliminary statements from the parties involved, this batch of books was released to take advantage of the release period of the Hong Kong film *3D Meat Pillow*.

It is understood that printed materials or audiovisual products containing obscene or pornographic content are all items explicitly prohibited by the state from entering or leaving the country. If it is confirmed that such activities were conducted with the purpose of profit or dissemination, smuggling obscene films, videotapes, audiotapes, pictures, books, or other obscene items can result in imprisonment.
