Yedi Emmanuel: My Days in a Mental Hospital
by Li Lanni
About This Novel
The third part of Li Lanni's spiritual exploration trilogy: "Aura in the Wilderness". It mainly records the author's hospitalization experience in Guangzhou Huai Hospital and Beijing Peking University Sixth Hospital. The author focuses his observation lens on the in-patient wards of specialized hospitals that treat mental illnesses and those patients. From patient groups to doctors, as well as contemporary mental illness treatment concepts and methods, as well as the history of world psychiatry, he develops a multi-dimensional and in-depth description. The language of the work is lively and the descriptions are vivid. What's more important is that it is a highly authentic record and inspiring thinking, as well as the appeal for love, compassion and humanitarianism that flows throughout the book.

Li Lanni made bold attempts at modern psychotherapy methods, such as electroshock, and the intensity of electroshock therapy. Most people with mental illness are unwilling to face it, unwilling to try, and unwilling to change.
Li Lanni is bold and persistent. On the one hand, this character trait is reflected in the fact that although she cannot suppress her depression, she dares to face the camera and say, "I am Li Lanni, a depressed patient."
I'm not crazy. I'm going to a mental hospital. This is the voice that Li Lanni, a writer who has suffered from severe depression for more than ten years, made when she made up her mind to go to a mental hospital. It shocked me.
