Early on the chief gave him a long menu of “dishes” of torture, to choose what to be served if he disobeyed an order. Among them were “Sichuan-style smoked duck” (the enforcer burns the inmate’s pubic hair and penis tip); “noodles in a clear broth” (the inmate eats a soup of toilet paper and urine); and “naked sculpture” (the inmate stands naked and strikes different poses ordered by the chief).早先，那個頭領給了他一份長長的“菜單”，上面都是各種折磨方式，如果他違背命令，可以選擇以什麼樣的方式受罰。其中有“川味煙熏鴨”（打手去燒犯人的陰毛和龜頭），“清湯掛麵”（犯人吃一碗廁紙和小便做的湯）和“裸體雕塑”（犯人裸體站立，擺出各種頭領要求的姿勢）。

Message to curators: Whatever you’re doing right now, do something else next.
