遊戲《黎明殺機》加入中國角色 網友集體票選楊永信

A Canadian video game has gained tremendous popularity in China after it added a new character allegedly based on a controversial Chinese doctor who practiced electroconvulsive therapy as a cure for internet addiction in teenagers.

中國一名教授因其用電擊法治療青少年網癮而備受爭議，最近加拿大的一款電子遊戲就增設了這一人物角色，使其在中國玩家之間人氣大增。

Dead by Daylight, an asymmetric survival horror video game developed by Canadian game development studio Behavior Interactive, released a trailer introducing the new character last Tuesday.

《黎明殺機》是一款由加拿大遊戲開發工作室Behavior Interactive製作的非對稱生存恐怖遊戲，該遊戲於上週二發佈了預告片，推出一個新角色。

The game developer described the new character, Spark of Madness, as "a killer doctor," and his appearance resembles an electric humanoid.

遊戲開發者將這個新角色“Spark of Madness”描述爲一名“殺人醫生”，而他的外表則酷似一個機械人。

Though there is no official announcement about who or what inspired the character, many Chinese players believe the character is modeled after Yang Yongxin, a highly controversial clinical psychiatrist from Shandong province who used electric shock therapy on teenage internet addicts to eradicate their so-called "evil desire."

雖然沒有官方聲明到底是誰啓發了製作這個角色的念頭，但是許多中國玩家認爲該角色的原形就是楊永信--他是一位來自山東省的臨牀心理醫生，曾因用電擊法治療青少年的網癮、消除他們所謂的“邪惡慾望”而備受爭議。

"In order to show their appreciation for Chinese players' support, the game developers promised to add a Chinese monster in the game in 2016. They even authorized a Chinese player, who goes by the name Esther, to conduct an online poll to find out what kind of new character Chinese players want," Li Zhenqi, a Beijing-based professional game player and commentator, told People's Daily Online.

北京職業遊戲玩家和評論家李振奇向《人民日報》透露：“爲了對中國玩家的支持表示感謝，Behavior Interactive於2016年承諾在遊戲中添加一箇中國怪物。他們甚至還授權了一位名叫Esther的中國玩家，讓他在網上進行調查，看中國玩家到底想要什麼樣的新角色。”

According to the online poll conducted on SteamCN, a popular Chinese game forum, over 54 percent of the respondents chose Yang Yongxin as the character's inspiration. Some other options included Heibai Wuchang, two deities in Chinese folk religion in charge of escorting the spirits of the dead to the underworld.

據《蒸汽動力》開展的在線調查顯示，超過54%的受訪者選擇以楊永信作爲新角色的原形。其他的提議還包括中國民間傳說中護送死者靈魂前往陰間的黑白無常。

"I chose Yang because I want the world to know about his evil practice, and how ridiculous his so-called therapy is. The new character is a killer in the game, which suits Yang well, as he has been using pseudoscience to torture people," a netizen wrote on the forum.

一位網民在該論壇上寫道：“我之所以選擇楊永信，是希望讓全世界都知曉他的邪惡行徑，以及他所謂的治療是多麼地荒謬可笑。新角色在遊戲中是一個殺手，這很適合楊永信，因爲他一直在用僞科學折磨人。"
