In the first episode of this three-part series, Billie JD Porter reveals what it's really like to grow up in China - where respect for state and elders is being drilled into the next generation and where you are often seen as a failure if you don't fit in. Billie visits a special boot camp where parents send their children to be 'fixed', and she discovers that many of the children there are addicted to gaming. As Billie explores China's glamorous gaming world, she asks what China's obsession with gaming really says about pressure and individual freedom in the world's most populated nation.
