Recently, a 70-year-old man surnamed Wang, from central China’s Henan province, sought medical consultation at a hospital for his insomnia struggles, as reported by Henan Minsheng Channel.

Wang believes his condition originated from an incident 32 years ago when he was unjustly blamed by his boss.

He expressed: “It wasn’t my mistake, but the boss punished me anyway. I’ve been upset about it ever since.”

“It took a toll on me mentally. Since then, I’ve had to rely on medication for sleep, my memory has worsened, and I’ve experienced dizziness and headaches.”
