Before the cult 1999 film began streaming in China, censors drastically changed the ending so that the anarchist narrator is caught and punished for his crimes.
The climatic scene was excised and replaced with a blank screen showing the message: “The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to a lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012.”
I love that it doesn't even end with like, "the government, inherently antagonistic, defeated him" it's like "He as doing bad stuff out of hurt, so we made sure he got help."

Reminds me of the fan-alternate ending to Breaking Bad, where Walter just gets free public health care inside the first two episodes and that's that.
Breaking Bad: version française
"i have cancer"
"do you have your universal health care card?"
"yes, here it is"
