After business rivals killed her fiancée, Liaong Yuqiong says a friend convinced her to try heroin, promising that she would "feel free from any troublesome feeling." She's wrestled with a heroin addiction ever since, and repeatedly has gone through the drug treatment program at Daytop in Kunming, where we met. She credits the program with teaching her about the dangers of sharing needles, and she remains uninfected with HIV. "I feel comfortable at Daytop," Liaong said. "I've kind of developed an addiction to the place." |
