SHANGHAI: In an unusual competition in Chongqing, China, a woman won 10,000 yuan after avoiding her phone for 8 hours.
The contest, held in a shopping center, required 10 selected participants to stay in bed for 8 hours without any electronic devices. They could only use old phones for emergency calls, and any form of anxiety or using phones was strictly prohibited.
Participants, including Dong, a sales manager, were required to stay calm, with food and drinks served to them in bed.
Dong scored 88.99 out of 100, spending the most time relaxed without showing signs of anxiety. She enjoys teaching children in her spare time and rarely browses her phone.
