What’s the color for August? In China, I can guarantee you, it’s red. Because historically Japan announced its surrender at mid-august in WWII, ending its invading and colonization in China. Also, the army of Chinese Communist Party , called The people’s Liberation army usually celebrates its anniversary on August first . It’s a month of force and victory. Coincidentally, we did see several interesting fights during this month in China Mainland, starting from August 5th. A school bullying in Jiangyou, a city in Sichuan province, triggered a mass protest in the streets, ending up curfew collaborated by the police and the liberation army. This is a rare scene you could see in China. The last time you can imagine such a view should be in 1989, on the Tiananmen Square. You may wonder why this school bullying made such a difference ? The answer is the image, a short video showing the parents of the victim bend their knees to the ground at the feet of the chief of the police, begging him to give justice to their daughter, and the highlight is, the mother is a mute and the father is disabled. Such a family combination could be viewed as the weakest group in the Chinese society. So in Chinese people’s eyes, the whole family was bullied by this privileged authoritarian system. The gesture to bent their knees at the feet of the power is utmost submissive sign, they’re begging, and they have no defense, but the police and the government shows no mercy only the usual indifference that most Chinese were used to see in common case. This crossed the line. The bottom line of Chinese people’s moral standard. Or, let’s say in another way, it’s how blatantly that they showed in public that they don’t care like the image presenting the parents kneel down at the feet of the chief of the police. And common Chinese people realized that privilege and injustice in such a view which made them surround the government building and protest in the downtown streets. What hyped this protest was coincidentally in the neighbor city, the capital of Sichuan province, Chengdu was holding the World Games 2025, you know China, such a disgrace, a slap in the face. So the government wants to crack it down fast. They did, over night, they beat up everyone in the streets, arrested several and sent them away by camion for pigs. You heard it right, the protesters were standing in the camion, usually for shipping pigs. If you read George Orwell, animal farm, you would understand how sarcastic this view is.
