Actress Jadie Lin used the toilet in her Beijing hotel and locked the door, but then she could not unlock it.
She had left her mobile phone in the living room, and the phone on the toilet's wall was not working. She had no way to alert the hotel staff. She could not see any ventilation in the small room.
She banged on the door and yelled for help, but no one came to her aid.
"I felt frightened and had difficulty breathing," she says. "I was thinking: if I fainted, no one in this world would know."
In desperation, she tried using a hard piece of plastic to turn the screws on the door lock. This time, she succeeded in unlocking the door.
