Blog #9 Vietnamese Anonymous Vent Chat: Leeches in food

I had late classes on Tuesday, so I just went back to my room and took a nap, then when I woke up, it was midnight already. I wouldn't want to take a bus or go to the UC at that hour, so I asked my friend, who was an admin of a Vent Channel called Vietnamese Anonymous Vent Chat, to let me join the channel and listen to people talking.
Vietnamese Anonymous Vent Chat is a Vent Channel created by a Vietnamese Facebook Paged named Haivl, which in English is (this is a terrible name to translate to English, so I'm trying the best I can) Comedy till you piss you c*nt off. So from the name, basically the conversation I was about to hear wouldn't be really formal with nice and clean language.
As I joined a channel, I realized people were talking the issue when China was buying leeches from Vietnam and mince them, then mix them with dry food to sell back to Vietnam (yes Vietnamese people have a thing with China). There were a lot of people talking, so this is what the part I could write down.
"This is so bullshit."
"It's good so edible."
"That's so disgusting!" A voice screamed out.
"This is false, stop accusing China just because you dislike them." An old voice from the background responded to all the yelling.
"Bullshit."
"True or not, it's a warning. China has a bad reputation from long ago and everyone knows why. And you never know, leeches can regrow from only a small part of it, not the whole body, so watch out before you eat is still a good option." A girl said.
"No Made in China food. Done."
"It's all Made in China now. What else do we even have?"
Someone started a weird and long laugh in the background.
"Yes even if you burn the leeches into ash, if they meet water, they will regrow back. This is reasonable. So don't say this is bullshit. Watch out before you eat, I've heard a lot of news about this issue."
"God."
"Disgusting."
"Why there are so many evil people in the world."
Okay I should stop here since they started talking about politics and I wasn't that interested. But it was a scary conversation that I heard. Personally I hope it wasn't true.
