A 38-year-old man in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, finds it difficult to mingle with people outside his family. Xiao Bing has stayed at home for the past 10 years watching TV and surfing the Internet with the curtains drawn during the day. He only leaves home at night to take a walk.

Xiao was born when his parents were nearly 40. Because they had him at a relatively advanced age, they pampered him.

As a result, Xiao has been found to be incompetent and has been fired three times by employers. He graduated from a technical secondary school. According to doctors unemployment is the reason for his psychological problems.
