Updates of Qian Yun Hui’s death (9): the “super” power of netizens

M: some news about that village, kind of emergency.
M: Now, in the village, it’s daytime. Mr. Wu Gan said on his micro-blog that all the entrances of the village are blocked. Someone said on her/his micro-blog that he/she saw armed police on the entrance.
U: wow…like a state of emergency
M: Mr. Wu said that the assistants of Mr. Wu entered that village with the help of a villager through a lane secretly, but when one assistant came out, he was forced to have a “meal” with the people who may be sent by the local gov’t.
M: The netizens are forwarding this message on the micro-blog website now.
M: Hope that the local gov’t can feel the pressure and release him.
U: yeah sure…they feel no pressure from the citizens
M: Chinese netizens have super power in China. 😉
M: Just so you know, that lawyer who cheated Mr. Qian has started to return the money he cheated from Mr. Qian.
M: That’s the power of Chinese netizens.
U: no not really…the authorities can simply turn off their internet connection
M: but the internet connections are ok now. The netizens try to find more information about this event now. For example, which company or organization that car that took that guy away belongs to.
M: When they find some information with a phone number, they will call it. 😉
M: Do you remember that girl who killed an officer? She was detained in a mental hospital. When the netizens knew the name and the phone number of that hospital, they started to call that phone number. Maybe a lot of them cursed at the receivers. The hospital couldn’t bear it and had to give in.
U: is that really how she was set free?
M: That was the beginning of that story.
M: After the sentence was announced on the court, she was hidden by the local gov’t for a while.
M: Netizens worried about her very much at that time. But Mr. Wu called her and knew she was ok.
M: Then, after a year, I saw a report.
M: It said that the local gov’t assigned a job for her at a town.
M: and rent a place for her to live.
M: The local gov’t pays the rent.
M: The local gov’t even assigned a job for her step-father.
M: She said that she was glad to her life and didn’t want to think about that event.
M: Of course, some netizens were disappointed. They said that they saved her so she should save others as a return. But now, she just enjoyed her own comfortable life.
M: But a lot of netizens said that she still was a hero.
U: it seems some pressure did work…but i heard it was from pressure by western governments that set her free
M: Because she kept the bottom line of our society’s morality.
M: No, the western governments even didn’t know about it. Maybe a few reports.

Start Time: around 11 pm, Jan. 7, Toronto

Updates of Qian Yun Hui’s death (8): the spy watch and all the entrances of that village are blocked by the local gov’t now

Note: Just now, Mr. Wu Gan’s micro-blogs said that all the entrances of Zhai Qiao village, whose former head was Mr. Qian,  are blocked by the local gov’t today. His assistants  led by a villager have entered the village to verify a few things through a small lane secretly.

M: hi
U: hi kitty cat
M: hi, sergeant
U: at ease
M: just so you know, it seems that the website coolder.com is blocked by the Chinese GFW.
U: why
M: maybe too many things about Qian Yunhui
M: I don’t know why in fact.
M: they always have reasons.
M: the website is not harmounious enough for the gov’t, I think.
U: so you now a dissedent
U: you there.
U: are you under arrest
M: maybe, but when I come back to China, if I am invited to have a tea by those security staff, I would say I have nothing to do with that website.  🙂
M: some update about that case since yesterday: http://www.coolder.com/iblog/?p=2194
M: http://www.coolder.com/iblog/?p=2197
U: I wonder if any of this will come out from WikiLeaks
M: It’s a small case.
U: so…now you must be like a frightened little bunny rabbit now that your blog has been blocked
M: I take it easy. I’m in Canada.
U: yeah…for now
U: until one day you wake up and find yourself in a metal container on a ship bound for China
M: I think there are too many people in China like me now. Most of them go much further than me. The secret police are too busy to bring trouble to me.
M: but I still worry about it: I have family.
U: until half the population is working for police
M: They are in China.
M: I’m very careful about my speech, in fact.
M: I don’t want to bring some trouble to my family.
U: ha ha…you are easily intimidated
M: it seems a black joke but the miserable thing is that it can happen in China
M: I heard that CIA has shops to sell their stuff, right?
U: tell me about it
M: it sounds that you don’t know. I heard that CIA has shops to sell their equipments in USA.
U: i don’t know
M: I think you know it so you can provide more information.
U: maybe the cheap stuff
U: or older technology
M: oh,
M: just so you know, in China now, people like to record something and post it online when they are treated unfair by the officers etc.
M: secretly.
M: Like the case about Mr. Qian.
U: i can’t imagine the CIA selling the latest and greatest tech spying devices
U: its easy with cell phone or small recorder
M: If no photos, videos, the things couldn’t get so much notice.
M: Have you noticed that watch of Mr. Qian?
M: It can record secretly.
M: He used it to get evidence.
U: i have seen these watches
M: where?
U: you can get them online
M: oh
M: I thought that things from those CIA stores would be better. 😛
U: http://www.gadgettown.com/Spy-Cameras/Shape–Spy-Watch/?gclid=CJrUk72cp6YCFYnt7QodQD_raA
M: That’s good.
U: maybe so
M: it should be quite useful for some people.
M: I will recommand them to some netizens. 😛
U: http://www.lightinthebox.com/wholesale-Spy-Cameras_c811?gclid=CPKEmZGdp6YCFU5a7Aod2BgeoQ
M: so many.
U: yeah…not really CIA stores
U: but you can say’ spy stores”
M: I think when I come back to China, I will bring some to my friends etc..
U: no…customs agents will take them from you
M: what about I wear them when I pass the customs?
U: see how great living in the west is
U: you can buy anything
U: maybe
U: you can try
M: yeah.
U: maybe the video pen
U: or video glasses
M: I don’t say it’s spy stuff. I just say it’s ordinary gifts to the customs agent.
U: i’m you could get something through the customs agent
M: May I will be sent in jail at once. 😛
U: but they will inspect it
U: maybe a spy camera bra
U: you can be a sexy spy
M: that’s impossible. The machine will sound
U: i wonder where the lens would be
U: maybe two lenses
U: ha ha
M: use infrared
M: can people bring those stuff in and out of American customs?
U: i’m sure they can
U: because its not illegal
U: its just a small video camera
M: oh, i c. You mean that only Chinese customs agent think it’s illegal.
U: i don’t know
M: oh. maybe it’s ok for Chinese customs agent too.
U: maybe you should post on your blog and ask
M: oh, i c.
U: ask this question…”hi mr. government internet monitor, i know you are reading this…so I have a question?”   …   ” is it legal for me to bring a spy camera from Canada to China?”
M: 🙂
M: that’s a great idea.
M: how did you know those spy stores?
U: i have seen them in NYC
M: oh
U: NYC has everything
M: (nod)
U: in every shopping mall in USA there is at least one shop that sells such items
M: :O
U: stop acting surprised
M: if I visit NYC, I will have a look at them.
U: you should visit NYC and see the real world
M: and a real man
U: A real man from Brooklyn
U: the real deal

Updates of Qian Yun Hui’s death (7): the report of the netizen, Mr. Wu Gan

Note: Mr. Wu Gan’s report is quite long. I just translate a part of it as below. It’s based on some information which may not true:

Mr. Qian Yun Hui received a call so he went to the scene. The call was from a villager whose surname is Wang, but not Mr. Wang Li Quan. Since the village would have an election soon, and the local gov’t knew that Mr. Qian Yun Hui would be elected. They really didn’t like it. So they planned to “invite” Mr. Qian Yun Hui to the gov’t to have a “talk”.

On Dec. 25, Mr. Xu, an officer of the town gov’t asked Mr. Wang, another villager, not Mr. Qian’s friend Mr. Wang Li Quan, to call Mr. Qian and ask him to go to the entrance of the village since if Mr. Xu entered the village himself, he might be attacked by the villagers. This villager might be threatened or be bought by Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu drove a car to the entrance of the village with his assistants and stopped there. Mr. Qian came and found that they wanted to catch him so he tried to run away. They had a fight. The umbrella was broken during the fight. Then the truck came. Since there was the car of Mr. Xu on its lane, the truck went to another lane for another opposite direction’s traffic. Mr. Qian slipped down or was pushed down, and the truck ran over him. Mr. Xu was afraid that the driver would speak out what he saw, so he asked the driver and the driver’s assistant to enter his car and drove to the gov’t together.

Later on, Mr. Xu wanted to see if Mr. Qian was dead. He and the police went to the scene again. Mr.  Xu was recognized and then was beaten by the villagers.

Updates of Qian Yun Hui’s death (6): a lot of Chinese people believe “rumors” on the Internet rather than Chinese official media

Note: According to Wu Gan’s reporter about this case, the person who called Mr. Qian isn’t Mr. Wang Li Quan. According to another netizen’s posting, Mr. Wang Li Quan was at Hong Qiao town when Mr. Qian was hit by the truck. He heard Mr. Qian died and went to the scene. He took Mr. Qian’s watch and mobile phone. This watch includes a camera and a sound recorder. He tried to contact the outside world to spread the news. He made an appointment with a reporter, but he was arrested on the way to meet that reporter and that reporter received his leader’s call when he went to meet Mr. Wang. It seems that the phone of Mr. Wang Li Quan was monitored.

M: some news about that head of village.
U: ok
M: do you like to hear it?
U: yes…sure, i’m waiting
M: Just so you know, before Mr. Qian died, someone called him. Now, people think that it’s his friend Wang Li Quan. He was in jail now.
M: so the volunteers introduced two lawyers to his wife, free of charge.
M: But his wife was quite afraid. So some people adviced his wife to ask the police bureau if she could hire lawyers for his husband.
U: so…i got this info from your research or from rumors on a blog posting?
M: Anyway, these two lawyers provide their servies for free.
M: This information is from micro-blogs of related people.
M: such as the vulunteer lawyers at that village.
M: Then, they asked the advice of the elderly association of that village about this solution.
M: Those elderly people thought it’s a good idea.
M: But the problem was that no one dared to go to the police bureau to ask this question.
M: At last, they sent a mail.
M: There is a rumor that Mr. Qian is the third person of that village who died secretly.
U: maybe you can ask
M: Now, the lawyers have got the power of attorney from the family of Mr. Wang Li Quan.
M: Maybe I can ask by phone.
U: what good is all that going to do?
M: I think that the lawyers have applied to the police bureau to meet Mr. Wang Li Quan.
M: soon, more information will emerge.
U: i mean….it sounds as if the police are involved in the murders and the officials are trying to cover it up
M: This information isn’t the good news I meantioned.
M: Maybe some people sent by the local gov’t, not police.
M: I have told you about a netizen volunteer named Wu Gan.
U: yes
M: He has got a lot of information and posted them.
U: and soon he will be arrested
M: Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang have sold some land of that village to the villagers and collected RMB710,000.
M: They used those money to sue some officers of the local gov’t and petition.
M: They hired a lawyer with RMB400,000 in Beijing.
M: but that lawyer took their money and cheated them.
M: Mr. Qian gave some money to a reporter of an official newpaper.
M: That reporter took him money and did nothing.
U: and so will these lawyers
M: Then Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang were arrested and Mr. Qian was sentenced for 3 years since they sold that land to the villageres.
M: Mr. Wang also was sentenced. Maybe 3 years in jail too.
M: Mr. Qian was released about half a year ago, I think, and then he died.
M: Now, Mr. Wu Gan posted some information about that lawyer.
M: The netizens started to human-powered search. Now, that lawyer’s information and photo are everywhere. 
M: Now, I think that the netizens are busy on searching that reporter.
U: how about you…are you busy searching
M: now, I just wait to see the result and forward it. 🙂
M: Another information,
M: Mr. Qian and their villagers not just petitioned or went to Beijing to sue some officiers.
M: They blocked the road so some instruction of that electric power of plant could be delayed. That plant occupies their land without their permission.
U: how long you think until some result?
M: They have been fighting about it.
M: soon. When the lawyers meet Mr. Wang, the things may be clear.
M: There is another speculate.
M: Mr. Wang called Mr. Qian to block that truck. That truck worked for that plant.
M: Then the security guards came.
M: there might be some fighting
M: Sometimes, the fighting between the people sent by the gov’t and some ordinary people may be more severe that the fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq.
M: I mean in China.
U: like a civil war
M: (nod)
M: The people die one by one.
M: if the people sent by the gov’t die, a lot of the netizens would show happiness
M: if the ordinary people die, a lot of the netizens will curse at the gov’t.
M: Anyway, Chinese ordinary people have no right to own a weapon, so most of the time, the ordinary people die.
U: these are events that the media dosen’t report
M: Most of the Chinese people think that the information on the Internet like micro-blogs are more believeable than the official media.
M: Maybe Americans don’t take the information from the Internet serious.
M: Chinese people like to trust the “rumors” on the Internet.
M: If the CCTV of China say something is true and the Internet say it’s false, I think, most of people would believe that it’s false.
U: i think americans believe rumors on the internet as well
M: like wikileaks
