Chapter 11 Slave Revolt (2)

In addition to mass incidents in society, strikes in mainland factories have also been heard from time to time. In February 2016, hundreds of angry miners protested against the plant’s delay in withholding wages and benefits at the Longmei Coal Mine in Heilongjiang, putting up banners, singing patriotic songs and holding signs in protest. The Xi regime declared the strike illegal and hundreds of public security police rushed to the protest site, removed the banners, ordered workers to be back to work and dispersed the miners.

The Hong Kong-based labor rights organization – China Labor News has reported that more than 2,700 strikes took place in mainland China in 2015, more than double the number in 2014 and that more than 500 strikes and protests broke out in January 2016. Most of the protests were moderate and did not involve political attacks but focused on immediate issues such as unpaid wages, reduced benefits and unsafe workplaces. The Chinese Communist Party has always kept a lid on such news and has never reported or disclosed strikes or protests that have taken place..

Xi Jinping has been a perverse and unpopular person for many years and many people hate him from the very inside of their bones. They want him to step down and go away immediately. A representative young woman from Hunan raised her hand in front of a large Xi Jinping propaganda poster at the HNA building in Shanghai at 6 a.m. on July 4, 2018 and said in a righteous voice: “Oppose Xi Jinping’s dictatorial and despotic tyranny and the Communist Party’s brain-controlled oppression of me”. She then lifted her inkpot and indignantly poured ink on Xi Jinping’s portrait showing him the great man. She continued in a loud voice: “I hate him to the bone, oppose Xi Jinping’s dictatorial tyranny, oppose the Communist Party’s brain-cavity oppression of me and I ask international organizations to intervene and I will cooperate with the investigation and evidence. Yes, I have spilled ink on him today. I see what he can do to me. Xi Jinping, I’m here waiting for you to arrest me. I’m just one person against the Chinese Communist Party, against the Communist Party dictatorship and tyranny. I’m standing here today, I’m asking you to come and arrest me and behind me is the HNA building, Xi Jinping your assets. I will stand in front of your assets and splash ink, see? See your ugly face?”

The young woman named Dong Yaoqiong was from Hunan and she made her living as a real estate agent in Shanghai. The above act of ink throwing and the words she said in a loud voice were filmed and recorded by a friend and put on Twitter for the public to see. At 3:30 p.m. that day, Dong Yaoqiong sent a final tweet on her Twitter account saying, “There are a bunch of uniformed people outside my door right now, waiting for me to get changed and get out, I am not guilty. What is guilty are the people and organizations that hurt me.” Dong Yaoqiong’s Twitter account was then logged off and her video footage on Twitter was deleted. She then lost contact with the outside world and her whereabouts became a mystery. Dong Yao Qiong was thus taken away by the Xi government.

Dong Jianbiao, the father of Dong Yao Qiong, a coal miner in Zhuzhou, said righteously when he learned that his daughter had been arrested by the Chinese Communist authorities for “attacking a national leader”: “If it were me, I would have splashed the black ink on him. I think her behavior is quite good, she is not speaking for herself, she is representing the bottom class and what she has said is the truth but daughter may not be able to survive this because President Xi treats himself as an emperor. In the past, offending the emperor was to be linked to the death of nine clans. Having offended such a high and powerful person, if she is sentenced to death, I am willing to take the death and stop it. If I can’t, I don’t want to live. I’m going to save my daughter’s life,” said Hua Chung. An artist who sympathized with and supported the Dong father and daughter, appealing for them: “I hope freedom-loving people all over the world will appeal for freedom of expression on behalf of Dong Yaoqiong and Dong Jianbiao.” Soon Hua Chung was also arrested in the middle of the night for a break-in.

The Shanghai Public Security Bureau forced experts to identify Dong Yaoqiong as mentally ill, sent her back home to Hunan Province as a mental patient and put her in a mental hospital in Hunan Province; actually treated her as a “political prisoner”.

Dong Yaoqiong was tortured for more than a year in a psychiatric hospital, given psychiatric drugs and tortured as a half-psychiatric patient. On January 2, 2020, Dong Yaoqiong was released to go home, her mental state changed dramatically, her original lively and talkative nature turned into a silent and shrinking reticence.
