A government-sponsored facility provides psychiatric patients with opportunities to reintegrate into society. Tang Yue reports from Shenzhen, Guangdong province.
Every day, Alice, not her real name, travels 25 kilometers each way to work, changing buses twice en route. To secure a seat on the earliest bus, she rises at 4 am and leaves home an hour later.
She is employed by the Dandelion Clubhouse in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. Despite the name, it's not a night club, but a facility where people with mental health issues learn to reintegrate with society.
