I read a news article today and found that the victims’ tragic experiences are not limited to what is shown in this piece.
On October 9, 2025, Zhang (online name “Snow Mountain Fat Fox”) was traveling on train K228 when she had her menstrual period. But due to the middle repair (zhong xiu) suppressing women, Zhang couldn’t buy sanitary pads on the train, so she had to pad herself with clothing, yet she still dirtied the bedding. With just this torn bed sheet, the middle repair railway company issued a sky-high 180 yuan price, threatening the woman to either compensate 180 yuan or have the bed sheet washed.
This innocent woman could not pay the 180 yuan extortion and could only wash the bed sheet by hand. The railway authorities did not provide any tools or laundry supplies to wash, forcing this woman to stand for more than three hours in the autumn-winter season in the north, in the middle of her period, washing the bed sheet and her own clothes with cold water, entirely exposing how cold-hearted and ruthless the officials from the Zhongxiu Railway are with their management and capitalist class.
After the incident, the woman also spoke out online about her ordeal, and then a Lanzhou railway employee privately messaged her, hoping to communicate with her. The employee repeatedly told her: the whole shift would be punished, the whole train crew would have money docked, there might be more deductions next month, the person responsible would be suspended, forty days of relentless work during the Spring Festival travel season would be wasted, and if it continued, she would be fired. The employee also said they would give the woman money, which the victim refused, saying she had never blamed the train crew. Zhang, as a victim oppressed by the capitalist class, is very empathetic toward other oppressed people. She was afraid that ordinary workers (referring to the train crew) would be punished, so she hid her post and repeatedly apologized. However, the Zhongxiu officials used Spring and Autumn rhetoric to smear this woman as if she deliberately dirtied the bed sheet, and even claimed that she dirtied other parts of the train and denied extorting the woman for 180 yuan or punishing employees. A group of male chauvinists seized the opportunity to attack the woman, insulting her with all kinds of foul language simply because she spoke out about the oppressed reality, extremely reactionary and shameless.
Today I checked this woman’s Xiaohongshu account and found that her suffering is far from this single incident. Several years ago, she was deceived and raped by a member of a capitalist family living in Zhujiang New Town. The criminal then launched a large-scale online assault against the victim and even used secretly filmed sexual privacy videos to threaten her. The victim went to the police for help, but was met with the backing of the capitalist elite’s forces who beat her, and they even bought a knife to threaten to silence her. After she reported upward, they pulled her into a psychiatric hospital, directly imprisoning her for fifteen days, during which she was repeatedly forcibly injected with psychiatric drugs. In the end, her family found external experts to prove she did not have a mental illness, forcing the hospital to release her. Before releasing her, the psychiatric hospital extorted nearly 10,000 yuan from her and threatened her to leave the area and not to report again. The victim has fought for years, but with little result, yet she has not given up; she said she would not give up and hopes to help future generations.
Zhongxiu is truly dark and shameless, only capable of helping the ruling class maintain domination over the exploited, this reactionary country should perish.
