Daily news roundup

This post is intended to record the social and current events news I see every day.

News I saw on 1/15: A 25-year-old operator was told by his supervisor not to approve his leave so he could go home to take care of his mother, and he jumped from the 34th floor and died. As a result, this supervisor later said in an interview that there was no situation of not approving leave, completely reversing the facts and bullying the deceased who couldn’t speak.
A 38-year-old mother took care of two children, vomited all night but did not go to the hospital. The next day, she suddenly had a stroke and became paralyzed. Unexpectedly, after being married for 19 years, she had never even stepped out of her own city. Her husband then hypocritically cried, “I love her so much, I can’t be without her,” and said he was planning to take his wife to Xi’an for the New Year, which is a complete false display of self-pity by a slave owner who lost a qualified family slave. 38岁女子在家带两娃,呕吐一夜后突发脑梗瘫痪!丈夫面对镜头痛哭:我不能没有她……_腾讯新闻

On 1/18, I saw that there was an explosion at a plate factory of Baogang, which resulted in 2 deaths and 8 missing persons. In fact, according to the usual practice of China Railway Construction, these 8 missing workers are also considered dead by default. However, to reduce responsibility, they are all classified as missing, and being missing allows the company to avoid immediate death compensation. They even have to wait until the missing period reaches 2 years before submitting a bunch of documents to the court to apply for “presumed death.” There are also cases of companies delaying compensation, which fully exposes how these capitalist enterprises have exploited workers’ blood, sweat, and lives, and are yet another debt of class blood owed by China Railway Construction!

On the morning of January 19, I saw a news story about a 19-year-old girl from Guanghe who died after being abused by her in-laws following a cesarean section and severe bleeding, but there were no more details at the time. When I searched further, I found that similar incidents had occurred several years ago in Yucheng, Shandong. This 22-year-old girl weighed over 160 jin at the time of her marriage, but when she was abused and died by her in-laws, her weight had dropped to just over 60 jin. It shows how crazy and reactionary these feudal patriarchal family elders are. 山东22岁女子遭婆家虐待后死亡:因无法生育 死前仅60余斤_手机新浪网

Confucian family is like this: a family of beasts, those who abuse and kill are sentenced to only three years, and pay a few thousand yuan. The court also says there is a “confession and leniency,” as if they could cover up the fact that they killed a living person! Clearly, the Chinese reform is the backstage of Confucian families, an accomplice! It is the fierce enemy of those still suffering domestic violence, discrimination, and abuse!

Recently, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province, after breaking up with his girlfriend, went to take revenge on society by crashing into a family of three, including a male infant under 1 year old, killing them. The driver who deliberately murdered in the city was sentenced, surprisingly, to only 15 years. The driver’s family also spread rumors that the victim was 男子景德镇市超速行驶撞死一家三口判死缓引网民不满 | 联合早报

This is the link I copied, your short link may contain your personal information, please edit and replace it.

Regarding the explosion at the board factory, I previously heard from a monopolistic enterprise about something called a death indicator. It seems that for a few years, if a steel company’s dangerous operations result in fewer than 100 deaths per year, it does not need to be reported. Additionally, they said that if they conceal deaths involving two or more people, they can have the local municipal emergency guarantee bureau take over based on the local jurisdiction, allowing continuous production and rectification without sealing off the site and stopping work. Another reason is to shirk responsibility (bureaucratic monopolistic enterprises involved in mid-repairs can directly communicate with the provincial committee to suppress information), and they generally delay compensation for two years.

On January 21, I saw the news 男子强奸追杀大嫂,出狱后刺死见义勇为者,两次被判死缓后再审, the Supreme People’s Court of Yunnan Province reviewed and found that the original verdict had legal errors and was clearly inappropriate in sentencing. According to Article 254, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China, it was decided to initiate a retrial of this case. This beast, a rapist and murderer, appealed after the first trial, claiming that “I am also a victim, requesting the court to lighten the punishment. He believes that his 20 years of wandering and fleeing, obeying the law and not committing crimes.” This is a complete reversal of black and white. Committing such heinous crimes and still daring to exonerate himself is extremely arrogant. But the most outrageous is this husband, who said, “To be honest, I also wish he had the death penalty. If the death penalty is immediately executed, it would be his deserved punishment. My wife wouldn’t have to fear him seeking revenge after being released. Liu Moumou’s family also got a statement. If it’s a life sentence with a reprieve, I can’t do anything about it. Living is better, brother, to leave a life, so many years I’ve seen it all, leave it to the court to decide.” In fact, this person defending the rapist and murderer is a pure fascist male chauvinist. Using family affection to cover up such reactionary behavior is what kind of family love? It’s just the “class sentiment” protected among male chauvinists, similar to what Confucius called “mutual concealment,” and like Confucius who boasted “Only women and little men are hard to raise,” he doesn’t see women as human beings. The fact that he can “see through” the huge harm caused to his wife by the rape is utterly beastly.

I didn’t expect a retrial after all. More than half a year ago, the association also had news and comments about this matter: 被强奸、被追杀,就连被救也要被索赔。中修统治下的妇女出路何在?

On January 23rd, I saw the latest developments in the case of the missing female master’s student Bu Xiaohua. Two villagers have been prosecuted for rape, but Bu Xiaohua’s nominal “husband” Zhang Moujun was not prosecuted [news link to be added]. In the initial report,\n\u003e Regarding whether there was suspicion of rape, the report states that after investigation, Zhang knew that Bu (note: Bu Xiaohua) had a mental illness but still engaged in a relationship with her and fathered children, which is suspected of a crime, and criminal coercive measures have been taken by the public security authorities.\n\nHowever, in the prosecutor’s non-prosecution decision, it states that Bu Xiaohua often goes to the convenience store to buy snacks, freely enters and leaves the village and her residence, and has complete freedom of movement, without any restrictions. It also states that Zhang Moujun takes care of Bu’s daily life and routines, and no abuse was found. But Bu’s brother said that his sister’s condition was more serious than when she first went missing, and she could not fully take care of herself, only handling basic needs like going to the toilet and eating. After treatment, her condition improved. If Zhang Moujun had not abused Bu Xiaohua, then how could her condition have worsened? Moreover, Zhang Moujun clearly targeted Bu Xiaohua to make her a compliant female with mental abnormalities, trying to turn her into a tool to satisfy his lust and pass on his lineage. When volunteer investigators asked Bu Xiaohua, she could clearly state her family and school names. If Zhang Moujun truly wanted to help Bu return home, it would be an easy task. But over more than ten years, he did not do so. What is he thinking? Isn’t it obvious?\nAnd the court also tries to whitewash Zhang Moujun, claiming that the fact that this beast had a relationship with Bu Xiaohua and fathered children is fundamentally different from rape. They say that the first relationship happened two or three months after they met, implying that just because they didn’t meet and immediately have sex, it doesn’t count as rape. Isn’t this because Zhang Moujun was testing and waiting for the right moment to commit violence? They say Zhang Moujun subjectively aimed to establish a family with Bu Xiaohua, which is a shameless defense by male chauvinists. In fact, isn’t this just rape of a woman who has no ability to defend herself sexually? To say that not being able to refuse equals consent? Using the subjective intention of forming a family to whitewash such a heinous crime of rape is a new level of shamelessness.\nFurthermore, the prosecutor states that the other two villagers had multiple sexual relations with Bu Xiaohua, who was mentally abnormal and unable to properly express her will. They say, “The criminal facts are clear, the evidence is sufficient and conclusive, the circumstances are heinous, and they should be prosecuted for rape according to relevant laws.” But why is it that Zhang Moujun, in the same situation when having sex with Bu Xiaohua, is not prosecuted? Why is he not prosecuted but instead not prosecuted at all? This clearly shows that the court is standing on the side of maintaining patriarchal family structures, defending the brutal rule of husbands over wives. In a patriarchal society, the family is outside the law, a place where husbands commit barbaric enslavement of wives. All the law that runs rampant is shattered when faced with the “sacred” concept of family, which is truly a spectacle. In fact, the phrase “The family is the smallest state, and the state is made up of countless families,” indicates that in a class society, the family is also a battleground of class struggle. As Engels said, within it—husbands are the capitalists, and wives are the proletariat. Therefore, just as society’s laws tend to favor the bourgeoisie, within the family, the laws also tend to favor the husband, the ruler of the household.\n“山西女硕士失踪案”最新进展:案件进入审查起诉阶段,涉案人员或涉强奸罪_腾讯新闻

The official statement from China Railway says 10 dead and 84 injured.
On January 22, the Kunlundu Branch of the Baotou Public Security Bureau in Inner Mongolia issued a notice: Since January 18, 2026, regarding online rumors about the Baogang sheet metal factory explosion, including spreading so-called internal call recordings, fabricating exaggerated casualty figures, and other false information, the public security authorities are依法 crack down and rectify. Three typical cases are now being announced.

1/24
女子因宫外孕切除子宫,丈夫要求离婚并索要彩礼三金转账等21.5万元,法院:退还全部黄金首饰和部分彩礼
认识1个月后闪婚,女子宫外孕切输卵管5天后男方提出离婚,并换锁赶人!法院:准予离婚,经济补偿3.4万元
妻子婚后两次流产,因“不孕症”“肝肾不足症”多次就医,丈夫起诉离婚并要求返还26.8万元彩礼和三金
这些案件都显示出女子因无法继续生育,男方借口感情破裂要离婚,可见这些所谓的感情实际上只是对一个合格生育工具的感情。一旦女性无法再为这些父权制专家传宗接代,就会被无情抛弃,甚至还被要求返还全部彩礼。而彩礼本就是女子家长将女儿视为商品出售的价格,也已掌握在女子家长手中,让这些人再把钱吐出来几乎不可能,更何况一个无法生育的女性,在女子家长眼中也不再是合格的商品,更不可能掏出一分钱。这样一来,女子甚至可能变成无法返回娘家的漂零之人。在这个女性受到严重不平等待遇的社会中,很难生存下去。女子不仅精神和身体都受到严重伤害,还要无端赔偿巨额彩礼给这些父权制专家,而她们的家务劳动从未被男方折算工资进行补偿,这难道合理吗?
在第三个案件中,中级法院说什么:

综合考虑彩礼数额、共同生活及孕育情况,双方过错等事实,酌定张某返还9万元及“三金”。
说什么“双方过错”完全是在搞受害者有罪论,把女子怀孕出现意外说成是女子有过错,完全是无耻之尤。而同案中的父权制专家隐瞒了有两次犯罪前科的事实,婚后逐渐暴露本性,对女子辱骂殴打甚至在女子的食物上撒尿。这种极其反动的侮辱女性的行为竟然不被惩罚,也极其逆天,可见中级法院完全是在睁眼瞎,故意维护这些父权制专家的利益。

On 1/26, I saw a story about a 21-year-old mother rider, her experience is extremely extraordinary. Xiao Chen was born in Jiangxi, where the patriarchal mindset is very strong. After birth, she was abandoned by her biological parents, and at 15, she went out to work while still being required by her foster father to send money home. She got married at 17, but just a few months after her daughter was born, her husband died in a car accident, and the compensation was swallowed by her mother-in-law. To get her daughter’s birth certificate and ensure her daughter could attend school without remarrying, she ran away with her daughter to deliver food. Now she has opened a boiled food shop and started hiring workers…

I also saw a report that a storm in the United States caused natural gas futures prices to rise. Over a million workers lost power and suffered disasters. There was news that five people in New York died outdoors. The news called these victims homeless, which made me think about the evil of capitalism. If it weren’t for the exploitation and oppression of the bourgeoisie causing them to lose their jobs, be unable to repay loans, and other issues, how could they end up homeless and freezing to death? Yesterday, I saw that workers had to queue for free relief food because their food stamp quota was only $24 left. The rise in natural gas futures is a reactionary act by the bourgeoisie, who profit immensely from these disasters that only harm the working people. These capitalists, relying on surplus value extracted from workers, indulge and enjoy themselves in warm villas and estates—this is truly evil. The rich’s wine and meat reek, while the bones of the freezing dead lie on the streets.

On January 28th, I saw a news report about a house fire that resulted in the death of a wife and daughter (小区凌晨失火,母女2人被烧死,消防栓居然没水,物业的回应炸锅|火灾|老旧小区|消防设施|小区物业_网易订阅). At that time, the fire hydrant was out of water, but I initially thought that the man’s family only consisted of his wife and daughter. However, after reading the details, it was revealed that he also had a son and parents. According to the man, at that time:

About ten minutes later, a strong smell of burning entered the nostrils.
The fire started in the living room, directly opposite the daughter’s room, and the indoor temperature had already risen sharply. Mr. Pan first woke his wife, then rushed to the son’s room, and also opened the balcony door to move his parents to a safe area. By then, the flames were clearly visible. He thought his wife would follow him to the balcony, but found she was still trapped inside, with the fire raging and impossible to approach. The family could only shout for help from the balcony.

However, it still feels somewhat strange—why couldn’t the wife escape, and it seems the daughter was even abandoned directly.

But in the link below, there are only mother and daughter, with no son or parents, which makes it even more unusual.

Mr. Pan crouched and rushed into the bedroom. His wife had already woken up, and he quickly picked up the 9-year-old daughter. The three of them staggered to the smallest room closest to the entrance door—originally planned as a guest room for the elderly, now their last refuge.
“I’ll go back to get the fire extinguisher!” Mr. Pan shouted, then turned and rushed into the thick smoke.
He was forced to retreat to the small room, close the door, block it with a wet towel, and call for help. He dialed 119 at 00:11, and the call lasted 3 minutes and 17 seconds.
At 00:28, the flames shot up to the third floor; at 01:05, the roof was burned through; at 04:30, the fire was extinguished.
When rescue personnel broke in and entered the small room, his wife and daughter had already stopped breathing due to inhaling toxic hot smoke, and Mr. Pan suffered second-degree burns on his face.

On January 29th, I saw that a middle school in Xingtai, Hebei, required students to cancel their social media accounts such as WeChat, Douyin, and Kuaishou during the winter vacation, and also to store their phones in file bags, which is basically to make students resort to any means for opportunism. 注销微信、抖音等社交媒体账号……河北一中学寒假手机封机仪式引热议_腾讯新闻 I also saw news about a celebrity named Jin Chen who caused a traffic accident and fled, with her assistant covering for her; this kind of morality among the bourgeoisie is so selfish. 演员金晨被曝肇事逃逸,让助理“顶包”,保险公司调监控时发现真相,交警回应:正核实|柯南|女演员|女嘉宾|武侠剧|漂移_手机新浪网 I also saw that a figure factory in Dongguan was set on fire by temporary labor dispatched by a labor agency; several figures from reactionary 二次元 (second dimension) erotic games had to delay shipment. I wonder if the cause was too harsh exploitation, which makes me think of last year’s incident in Yibin, Sichuan, where a textile factory was also burned down due to wage arrears. The official media reported it as follows: > China Machinery Industry Group’s textile friend website posted last Saturday (the 24th) that the arsonist in this extreme case was only 27 years old. Currently, the main force of textile workers has shifted to the “90s” and “00s” generations. The new generation of workers has higher demands for equality and respect. If the “parental” management style is still used, it is very easy to lead to conflicts accumulating. 下午察:“800哥”放火烧厂的警钟_联合早报网 The meaning is that capitalists’ attitude towards old workers used to be like feudal patriarchs, but now young people are too combative, and the management style must change; exploitation cannot be so brutal anymore. Moreover, it doesn’t discuss the issue of capitalists owing wages, only how to manage workers, which is extremely reactionary.

It might become like in “Party Life” where they more crazily use fame, status, and turning temporary workers into full-time workers to buy off the workers, it’s too insidious.

This is too crazy, I am shocked, completely not treating students as people. If they say “to prevent students from indulging in phones during winter vacation,” then why write “Open in August 2028” on the seal?? They also say they will keep the phones for the students, but do they really treat students as people? I don’t even know if the phones I had taken away by Lao Jiu before are still there now.

On January 30th, I saw a news report about an accident investigation: 聋哑拾荒者擅入垃圾站被碾压身亡,云南鹤庆认定为生产安全责任事故_直击现场_澎湃新闻-The Paper

The deceased was a long-term homeless mute man in Songgui Town. According to Zhao Moumou, the station master and safety production administrator of the garbage transfer station: For the homeless scavengers involved in the accident, they usually drive him away when he is found scavenging at the garbage transfer station, but because he is deaf and mute, communication is difficult. After being driven away, he occasionally runs back into the station to pick up food and clothes.
The investigation report concluded that the deaf-mute homeless man (Wu Mou) entered the garbage transfer station without permission and was lying at the vehicle unloading port of the garbage compression workshop; when the garbage transport vehicle was unloading, no one was found lying in the driving area, but during reverse, it ran over his body twice, causing his death; Duan Moujia had not received agricultural machinery driving training, had poor driving skills, and was not careful when reversing to unload garbage while checking the working environment with his companions, failing to notice the homeless scavenger lying in the driving area. He does not have a tractor driving license and cannot provide legal procedures for the vehicle involved in the accident. It is recommended that the agricultural machinery industry management department handle this. The Songgui Town Government, as the owner of the garbage transfer station, also bears safety production supervision responsibilities. Relevant staff from the town government conducted safety inspections of the transfer station and made management requirements for outsiders. They fulfilled their supervisory duties, and it is recommended not to impose penalties.
The accident report completely shifts the responsibility onto the local government, but the deceased was a long-term homeless scavenger who also went to the garbage station to pick up food and clothes. Why does the local government turn a blind eye? In fact, this scavenger was homeless and even went to the garbage station to rest, which also reflects the consistent attitude of Zhongxiu towards homeless people. There was even a heinous incident in 2003:
The Sun Zhigang incident or Sun Zhigang case occurred in 2003. It involved Sun Zhigang from Huanggang, Hubei, who was detained by law enforcement agencies of Guangzhou Municipal Government for being a “three-no” person (no ID, no residence permit, no employment certificate). During detention, he was beaten to death by staff at the detention center. Although the official claimed this was an individual criminal case of detention center staff, it sparked a major debate in China about the detention and repatriation system. The government of the People’s Republic of China subsequently issued new regulations, abolishing the detention and repatriation system widely regarded as flawed, loophole-ridden, and unconstitutional.
Under the struggle of the people, Zhongxiu urgently announced the “Measures for the Rescue and Management of Homeless People Living on the Streets,” but the fascist nature of Zhongxiu has not changed; it still disregards the lives of homeless people. With the development of capitalism, a growing backup army of industries has emerged, increasing the number of homeless people. However, Zhongxiu, in order to “maintain urban appearance,” barbarically drives away homeless people within the city. The fundamental cause of homelessness is the reversion to capitalism by Zhongxiu itself, yet Zhongxiu only takes the last link in this causal chain, covering up its own crimes.

Nowadays, you rarely see beggars on the streets of big cities in Zhongxiu, and homeless people are even fewer. I don’t know where they all went. I also heard that Zhongxiu previously carried out a “clean-up of low-end populations.” Could it be that they were caught and forced into illegal work?
