   Students at training institutes in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, were   
   recently required to slap each others' faces as a way to challenge   
   themselves.   
      
   A group of young people was seen kneeling on the street last Friday,   
   slapping each others' faces or intermittently laughing and crying. They   
   were reportedly doing this as a class assignment. They were also   
   required to beg in downtown Nantong to test their limits. Many residents   
   thought the strange behavior was to attract attention.
