It took Qiu Siyu just a few swings of a baseball bat to wreck what looked like an old car radio. Then two friends destroyed telephones, loud speakers, rice cookers and even a life-like model from a clothing store. The Reuters news agency says all three paid 158 yuan, or about $23, to spend half-an-hour in an “anger room” at a business called Smash in Beijing. It is a place where people can take out their anger on everyday objects while listening to music they choose. Smash requires its customers to wear protective equipment when they enter the room, armed with a baseball bat or small hand tool. This is to keep them safe from flying wreckage. Qiu, a 16-year-old high school student, said she went there to release her anger about school. “It feels so good when I destroy those bottles and watch them explode,” she said, with a smile on her face.
