The instant arbitrary imprisonment on a fabricated/vague charge in China really adds to the realism of the story. "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble" is an old favorite of theirs to deal with inconvenient people

Heyyy maybe check out china observer it’s horrifically bad over there which is even worse because it’s effecting other countries (like Russia they rely on their stuff and the quality took a swan dive)

[@TheDizeazedKiller]

It was honestly nonsense and unnecessary. Could have made the job sign up go straight to the dig, would have made sense to hire expendable foreign workers, and he was far too accepting of the shitty deal they gave him, and not at all angry about being locked up for no reason. Just an emotionless blob. Issue wouldn't exists if the story had gone straight to the hole.

[@Dice-Z]

@@TheDizeazedKiller You're right about all of it except one thing. The fact that this is definitely something china would do. Especially the "finding a bs reason to imprison you for the pettiest reasons". They would 100% do something like this, and they have, many times.

[@Dionysus626]

@@TheDizeazedKiller It may not be "necessary" for the Chinese government to operate like the Gestapo, but they do it anyway. As for it being unnecessary in the context of the narrative, it seriously changes the tone of the story. The fact that he doesn't have a choice and can't just choose to leave adds to the tension.

[@ventiankraus777]

Aside from The Descent, this reminds me of a show I saw when I was young. A family sends stuff like food down a hole, and pull up gold after they do. The dad decides to go down and see what's up, so he puts on an old diving suit and gets lowered down. When they pull him back up, the suit is full of gold. Wish I could remember that show.

[@TheKrispyfort]

It was an episode of 'The Outer Limits'. The Hole People thought "dad" was just another foodstuff that she'd been sharing. "... called chicken. What else do you have?"

[@ventiankraus777]

@TheKrispyfort My friend, I have great news. I originally watched the aforementioned episode 30 years ago, and because of your help, it has finally been located. The show was called "Amazing Stories." Spielberg was apparently a producer, but I had never heard of it until last year. The episode was from season 2 and originally aired in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty six. It was titled "Thanksgiving" and starred David Carradine of all people. 😆 I apparently caught a rerun by chance and honestly believed it was just lost media at this point. Kind of embarrassing as the show was kind of popular. I know this is completely irrelevant to everyone; but thanks to the additional criteria you provided, I was able to finally track down a mildly significant part of my childhood. Inner earth wise, I only knew of worms, quicksand, and Graboids at that point in my life, so this showing added to my intrigue of what might lay beneath. I know it is silly, but I sincerely cannot thank you enough for your help. On a side note: Google and reddit, I'm sorry for badmouthing you, you really came through this time. Thanks.
