Tears flow freely at Beijing´s Cry Bar

Wang Sha's story

Wang Sha works for an online games company, but the work isn't as much fun as playing the games.

"What gets to me most is when I think I’ve created a perfect game, but then my boss tests it and finds a stupid mistake," said Wang Sha.

He feels under pressure every time he is given a new project. He listens to mellow music on his earphones to prevent the tension building up but he also admits to liking a good cry.

"I often cry when I watch a film. If it has a simple, moving story I just burst into tears," said Wang Sha. "I find crying is a good way to relax, even if it’s not very manly."
