A friend's sudden death while playing games in the net bar shocked Xiao Yu, who was addicted to the Internet. At the age of 19, he realized for the first time that if he could not control himself, maybe in the near future, he would be like that friend. Xiao Yu did not want to die and he wanted to quit his Internet addiction, but he had nowhere to go. In the end, he chose to go to jail. In 2010, he was caught for stealing electric bikes and was sentenced to re-education through labor. A year later, Xiao Yu got out, but he still had not kicked his Internet addiction. In order to raise money to go online, he went on to steal cars again.
