I remained silent as before. After lunchtime, Luan ordered her group to bring a steel bucket and fill it with books. She told them to hang the bucket from my neck. The book-filled bucket weighed about 10 kilos (22 lbs). They forced me to carry it around my neck the entire afternoon. The steel handle of the bucket, which was as thick as a chopstick, left a deep mark on my neck as thick as a thumb.
