Part of this mass incident that shocked the whole country is still under investigation.
Guizhou, with warm and humid climate, is a famous pepper producing area with the same reputation as Sichuan and Hunan. Weng 'an County is located in the hinterland of central Guizhou, with a total population of 430,000 and an annual output of 38,000 tons of fresh peppers. If all of them are sold domestically, everyone in the county will have a meal and a half.
People are fierce when they are hurt, such as chopping peppers.
/kloc-when the body of Li Shufen, a 0/7-year-old girl, was salvaged from Ximen River in Anxian County, it was already more than 3 am on June 22, 2008. At this time, it has been more than three hours since she fell into the water.
At that moment, no one expected that the bizarre death of the girl in Class 6, Grade 2, No.3 Middle School in Weng 'an would turn into a large-scale mass incident that shocked the whole country with the unyielding persistence of her relatives.
On the weekend of June 28th, there were more pedestrians in Weng 'an _ than usual. This day is the "first seven" after Li Shufen left.
According to the weather released by Qiannan Meteorological Observatory, it turned sunny to cloudy that day.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a strange parade passed through the county with white banners and slogans. Most of these more than 300 people are teenagers of 13 and 14, and other adults look like their parents.
They came to intercede for Li Shufen's death. Teenagers are mostly her classmates.
The caravan started from the Dayan Bridge in Ximenhe, where the corpse was stopped, went into the city to "cry injustice", passed through the county party committee and county government, and turned back to the county public security bureau building. More and more people follow the crowd.
At that time, only more than 40 police officers of Weng 'an County Public Security Bureau quickly formed a human wall in the lobby of the office building to prevent the parade from rushing into the building.
At 4: 30 in the afternoon, the students' anger did not abate, but the situation got worse and worse. With the slogan, the marchers began to throw mineral water bottles and clods at the police. Wang Jiankang, a 32-year-old policeman from Weng 'an County, said that at that time, "the influence on us was growing". He and his colleagues began to feel a little nervous.
Mud clods are really common in Guizhou, a mountainous and rainy province. Wang Jiankang saw someone throwing an incendiary bottle at a car parked in front of the Public Security Bureau (the mineral water bottle was filled with gasoline and then ignited), and at that time it was ablaze.
The appearance of "hot weapons" completely destroyed this fragile cordon, and the police were forced to move to the public security bureau building.
The crowd quickly followed. A few minutes later, a group of people lifted a pickup truck with a foreign license plate parked in front of the public security bureau, threw it into the lobby on the first floor of the public security bureau, and then lit it with gasoline. Smoke billowed throughout the hall, and the police were forced to retreat to the second floor.
The hall line was declared lost.
"Cold weapons" have also been further upgraded. Wang Jiankang recalled that "someone rushed up with a machete and an axe" in the crowd. They were forced to retreat to the third floor again.
You can't return it any more. The third floor of Weng 'an County Public Security Bureau Building is an important place for the "gun depot". "Once it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable." Wang Jiankang received a death order from his superior and defended the third floor to the death.
On the lost first and second floors, documents and desks were lit, and smoke and fire wrapped the whole public security bureau building. Wang Jiankang was so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes: "We quickly took off our clothes, dipped in water, covered our faces and resisted the smoke and high temperature."
The glass on the third floor was broken. Wang Jiankang looked down through the window. Someone bought fireworks from a small shop in the street and set them off in the building.
Someone carried liquefied gas to ignite and burn. Someone rushed from the first floor to the fifth floor, rummaged through drawers, smashed cabinets and smashed computers. Someone took the opportunity to grab the computer mainframe and screen. Someone opened the garage on the spot in the government compound, pushed the car out and burned it, and then burned the county building.
Wang Xing, spokesman of guizhou public security, said at the news briefing on July 1 Sunday that during the nearly seven-hour riots, * * caused the county party committee building, the county government office building 104 office buildings to be burnt down, and 47 office buildings of the county public security bureau were burnt down. The riot * * * caused 150 people to be injured, most of them were slightly injured, and no one died.
Chen Yong, chief of logistics equipment finance department of Weng 'an County Public Security Bureau, said: "All the household registration materials of the county's 430,000 population have been burned, and there is not a piece of paper left."
The office building of Weng 'an county government was seriously damaged and could not work normally. The three-story county government building is located behind the government building. It was built in 1950s, with brick and wood structure. After this incident, there are only a few bare walls left.
