The court case of Sun Lijun, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, was held on 8 July 2022 but from the point of view of the charges against him, the core charges at the political level were not mentioned at all. This major case of "political gangs" led by the newly appointed Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong has once again become a mystery.

Sun Lijun pleaded guilty and repented in court

More than two years after Sun Lijun was investigated and sacked in April 2020, the first-instance trial will be held in the Intermediate Court of Changchun City, Jilin Province on 8 July 2022.

On the same day, Sun Lijun was charged with three counts, including "accepting bribes, manipulating the securities market, and illegally possessing firearms." In terms of accepting bribes, he was charged with accepting more than 646 million RMB in bribes.

In addition to accusing Sun Lijun of accepting bribes, the circular also accused him of instructing relevant personnel to "concentrate funds for continuous trading, affecting the price and volume of stock transactions" at the request of others in 2018. "The circumstances were particularly serious."

He was also charged with violating gun control regulations and possessing two unlawful firearms.

The procuratorate requested that Sun Lijun be held criminally responsible for the crime of accepting bribes, manipulating the securities market, and illegally possessing firearms.

According to the report, Sun Lijun expressed his "confession and repentance" in court, and the court decided to pronounce the sentence.

Multiple political charges disappear

During the first trial, many of Sun Lijun's political crimes that officials had previously charged have disappeared. For example, political ambitions are inflated, and a large number of classified materials are secretly stored and released.

On 30 September 2021, Sun Lijun was announced to be double-opened (expelled from the CCP and public office). At that time, the accusations against him included "extremely inflated political ambitions", "extremely bad political quality", "extremely distorted views on power and political achievements", "gang-up to control key departments", and "privately hoarding a large amount of classified materials". and many more.

On 24 January 2022, the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to announce the establishment of a special group to thoroughly investigate Sun Lijun's political gang. The group was led by Wang Xiaohong, a confidant of Xi Jinping and the current Minister of Public Security of the Communist Party of China.

In the press release of the meeting of the Ministry of Public Security, Sun Lijun's political gang was mentioned as "serious" seven times: "serious violation of discipline and law, seriously undermining the unity and unity of the party, seriously endangering the political security of the party and the country, seriously damaging the party's image and governance foundation, seriously damaging It has damaged the political ecology of the public security organs and seriously damaged the image of the public security team.”

Sun Lijun's charges raised doubts

The "Sun Lijun political gang case" is regarded by the CCP as the most serious case since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the previous official report, it has been pointed out that the Sun Lijun gang involved Fu Zhenghua, the former Minister of Justice of China, Wang Like, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Jiangsu Province, and the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. The former director Gong Daoan, the former director of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau Deng Huilin and the former director of the Shanxi Provincial Public Security Bureau Liu Xinyun and many other senior officials.

Since Wang Xiaohong announced that he is in charge of the case of "cleaning up Sun Lijun's political gang", he has claimed more than once that he will continue to clean up Sun Lijun's "drugs" in the political and legal system. The leading group and leading cadres of the organs "stand firm in their political position".

What is strange to the outside world is that Wang Xiaohong, who has been promoted to Minister of Public Security and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Communist Party of China, has so far not announced the "results" of investigating and handling this major case.

Li Hengqing, a senior current affairs observer and a scholar based in the United States, revealed to The Epoch Times in his analysis on 8 July that Sun Lijun’s real crime was anti-Xi, because the CCP kept talking about Sun Lijun’s political gang some time ago, and it was also reported that local public security officials were plotting against the central leaders. The above is an act of terrorism against the supreme leader. That was Sun Lijun's real guilt but officials cannot say it.

On 1 March, "Night Talks at Zhongnanhai" hosted by Gao Xin, a columnist of Radio Free Asia, stated that it had recently obtained inside information that the special leading group for the elimination of Sun Lijun's political gang led by Wang Xiaohong alone, during the investigation process, took the current Politburo Standing Committee member and the State Council. Vice Premier Han Zheng was also involved.

The report quoted a source in Shanghai as saying, "Sun Lijun's misconduct, Meng Jianzhu is to blame", but Sun Lijun was transferred to the Ministry of Public Security from Shanghai, and the "Bole" behind it was not Meng Jianzhu, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, but Han Zheng.

Xi Jinping arranged relative to carry out secret investigation of fellow villager Sun Lijun

Sun Lijun, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security of the Communist Party of China, has been sacked. It was said earlier that it was triggered by Xi Jinping's cronies Wang Xiaohong's struggle for police power. Recently, there has been news that Xi Jinping intends to place a fellow in Shaanxi in the Ministry of Public Security to be responsible for overthrowing Sun Lijun.

The July 8 article of Radio Free Asia's "Night Talks at Zhongnanhai" column stated that in addition to Wang Xiaohong, the Ministry of Public Security also has a direct descendant of Xi Jinping called Sun Xinyang. Sun Zhengyang was named and transferred by Xi Jinping as the head of the discipline inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Public Security in order to investigate the Sun Lijun case.

According to public information, Sun Xinyang was born in July 1964 in Fuping, Shaanxi, and Xi Jinping's hometown is also Fuping, Shaanxi.

It is said that Qi Yu, also a native of Fuping, Shaanxi, and the current Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, recommended Sun Xinyang to his old leader when he was working in the Organization Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee in his early years. Xi Zhengning is the eldest son of Xi Zhongxun and the elder brother of Xi Jinping. With Xi Zhengning as his backer, Sun Xinyang started as the chief staff member of the Provincial Legal Affairs Bureau, and it took only 8 years to get to the deputy bureau level.

On 27 November 1998, Xi Zhengning suffered a heart attack and died as Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Hainan Province of the Communist Party of China. The memorial service for Xi Zhengning held by the Hainan Provincial Party Committee at that time was the first meeting between Sun Xinyang, the then director of the third division of the Hainan Provincial Legislative Affairs Bureau, and Xi Jinping. Sun Xinyang, who had not changed his accent, introduced himself to Xi Jinping, claiming that Xi Zhengning was "father, brother, teacher and friend".

After that, Sun Xinyang served as Deputy Director of Hainan Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, Member of the Standing Committee and Secretary General of Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Deputy Secretary of Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Wanning City, Hainan Province. Secretary, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Capital Haikou Municipal Party Committee; until November 2016, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.

In late February 2020, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection initially grasped the evidence of the problem of Sun Lijun, the then deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security. Xi Jinping urgently transferred Sun Xinyang to Beijing, appointed him as the team leader of Sun Lijun’s task force, and then arranged for him to officially replace the 65-year-old police officer at the time. Deng Weiping, the head of the discipline inspection team of the Ministry, secretly investigated the case of Sun Lijun.

Deng Weiping, like Wang Xiaohong, was promoted by Xi Jinping from Fujian Province. During Xi Jinping's tenure as secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, Deng Weiping served successively as deputy secretary of the Gulou District Party Committee of Fuzhou City, deputy secretary of the Suburban District Party Committee, and secretary of the Jin'an District Party Committee. He was Xi Jinping's direct subordinate back then. In March 2015, Deng Weiping served as Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Public Security, member of the Party Committee, and Chief Inspector. The Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Public Security was later renamed the head of the Disciplinary Inspection Team of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission in the Ministry of Public Security. During Deng Weiping's reign, he helped Xi Jinping investigate Meng Hongwei, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security.

On 21 January 2020, Meng Hongwei was sentenced to 13 years and 6 months in prison for accepting bribes. At the same time, Deng Weiping was also talked to by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and asked him to hand over to Sun Xinyang, who had already served over age. About a month after Sun Xinyang made his first appearance at the Ministry of Public Security, on April 19, 2020, Sun Lijun, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, sacked.

On 1 October 2021, Fu Zhenghua, the former executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, was sacked. He was accused of being a member of Sun Lijun's "political gang". Both Fu Zhenghua and Sun Lijun were officially reported as having "extremely expanding political ambitions".

Regarding Sun Lijun's fall, Yuan Hongbing, a scholar based in Macau, disclosed to The Epoch Times in January this year that Sun Lijun's main problem is that he and Xi Jinping's cronie Wang Xiaohong are competing for power in the Ministry of Public Security. Especially after the fall of Meng Hongwei, Sun Lijun felt that he was the oldest in the Ministry of Public Security. He has political ambitions. In fact, he wants to kill Wang Xiaohong and become the minister of the Ministry of Public Security.

Wang Xiaohong succeeded Zhao Kezhi as Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security in November last year, and took over as Minister of Public Security in June this year.

Yuan Hongbing said that Sun Lijun embraces the thighs of all those who are useful to his promotion, but he will fight against others who hinder his promotion. When Xi Jinping wanted to promote Wang Xiaohong, Sun Lijun went against Wang Xiaohong and was extremely disrespectful to Xi Jinping. Then it colluded with the anti-Xi forces within the public security system.

The column "Night Talks at Zhongnanhai" also broke the news earlier that the current Politburo Standing Committee member Han Zheng promoted Sun Lijun to the Shanghai Municipal Foreign Affairs Office when he was the mayor of Shanghai. When he was in charge of the Political and Legal Committee, he held real power. After Meng Jianzhu abdicated, Guo Shengkun took over and promoted Sun to be the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security. They are all Jiang faction.

Professor Feng Chongyi of the University of Technology Sydney in Australia once told VOA that Xi Jinping focused on the Sun Lijun case, but in fact he was referring to Meng Jianzhu, who is behind Sun Lijun, and Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Zemin, who are behind Meng Jianzhu. Xi took Sun Lijun into action because Xi believed that Zeng Qinghong and Jiang Zemin were "stumbling blocks" for him to be re-elected at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and killed by 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami on 8 July 2022. It is known that Yamagami also participated in Abe's election campaign in Okayama Prefecture on 7 July. His activities, may involve tracking Shinzo Abe.

In the morning of the 8th, Abe was shot at a gun while he was delivering a speech on the streets of Nara to help elections, and the suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, was arrested on the spot. He confessed to the crime when he was investigated by the police.

Japan's MBS NEWS reported that Shinzo Abe participated in an election campaign in Okayama Prefecture on the 7th, and Yamagami said, "I also went to Okayama" when he was interrogated. The police believe that Yamagami may have been tracking Abe's itinerary, and the police are investigating in this direction.

According to the Mainichi Shimbun, Tetsuya Yamagami also worked at a factory in Kyoto, responsible for driving a stacker to carry goods but resigned in May this year due to unauthorized absenteeism. The head of the factory said Yamagami had no problems with his job and was shocked that he shot Abe.

The person in charge pointed out that Tetsuya Yamagami was also registered with a manpower dispatch company in Osaka, and took up a position in the factory in October 2020, and worked for about a year and a half before leaving. He worked five days a week, driving from his home in Nara.

The person in charge said that there was no problem with Yamagami's previous work attitude, but since mid-April this year, he had been absent from work several times without authorization. He officially resigned on15 May 2022.

Japanese media reported that Nara prefectural police searched the home on the mountain five hours after the incident and retrieved several guns similar to those left at the crime scene.

Abe's security level is accused of being too weak, Japan strengthens protection of politicians

On Friday (8 July 2022), former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot at close range at a political rally in Nara, in a country where political violence and gun crimes are extremely rare. Such incidents have raised questions about the country's security efforts for high-profile figures.

According to NHK, citing Nara police, Abe was protected by an armed special police officer and other local officials at the rally on the 8th. Nara police declined to say how many officers were in charge of Abe's security.

Officials with the Nara prefectural police department told reporters that the security request for the campaign was "sudden" and that the department would investigate whether security was adequate and appropriate action was taken.

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, 67, was about 3 metres from him during a campaign event for the Liberal Democratic Party candidate in Nara, Nippon TV reported.

Some critics say security around the former prime minister should have been stronger. "Anyone can hit him from that distance," Masazumi Nakajima, a former Japanese police detective, told Japan's TBS television that he thought security was a little too weak.

"This person needs to be surrounded from all directions," Koichi Ito, a VIP security expert, told NHK.

Politicians in countries such as the United States are protected by heavily armed men in response to gun attacks. Japanese officials, on the other hand, are protected by a special unit of the Tokyo police that focuses on direct physical threats. The armed plainclothes officers who protect them are called the Security Police (SP). SPs are rigorously screened, including proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. They usually stay close to the politicians they protect to protect them from direct physical threats.

Abe, Japan's longest-serving prime minister and one of the country's most powerful political figures, has drawn crowds in several of his recent election campaigns.

Paul Nadeau, who has campaigned with Abe in the past, said speeches like those on 8 July 2022 were "almost intimate events."

"The public is there, and they usually fill the city square in front of the train station," said Nadeau, who is now an adjunct professor at Temple University Japan (TUJ).

A ruling party source told Reuters on condition of anonymity that despite his high profile, the level of security provided to Abe may have declined since he left office in 2020.

Nara police declined to comment on whether the former prime minister would receive less protection than current lawmakers, citing security concerns.

Following Abe's assassination, current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered increased security for cabinet ministers and other politicians in the country. Ninoyu Satoshi, chairman of Japan's National Public Safety Committee, directed the chief of the national police to provide thorough protection for Japan's cabinet ministers and other senior politicians.

Abe's personal bodyguards accused of negligence, far less than Park Geun-hye's "iron barrel formation"

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was killed in an attack on 8 July 2022 at the age of 67. After the incident, public opinion from all walks of life questioned Abe's personal guards for serious dereliction of duty. Compared with the "iron barrels" guards of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye, they are too far behind.

Shinzo Abe was shot while giving a speech on the streets of Nara on the 8th and died. According to Japanese media reports, 7 special agents and 15 county police officers were dispatched to the scene that day, with a total of 22 security guards, but a security loophole appeared behind Abe, allowing the suspect to take the opportunity to commit the crime.

It can be seen from the live video that Abe was giving a speech at the place surrounded by the guardrail between the sidewalk and the driveway. The murderer Tetsuya Yamagami initially watched on the road more than 10 meters behind Abe. After listening to the speech for a while, he crossed the road. Approaching Abe slowly from behind, he took out his gun and fired two shots at Abe at close range. No security personnel stopped him during the whole process.

One of the exposed video footage showed that the gunman did not hit Abe with the first shot, but the security guard did not respond in time; 3 seconds later, the gunman fired a second shot, and the security guard responded, but Abe had already With the fall.

According to Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun", a former police officer with knowledge of the security affairs of Japan's key personnel said that it was puzzling to choose such a location that was not prepared for the rear, after all, attacks could come from all directions.

The former police officer also pointed out that when the gunman crossed the road, the police had to stop it. "I have to admit that this is a complete negligence of the police."

"Sports Japan" reported that the gunman Tetsuya Yamagami also approached Abe Shinzo and shot from a very close range of about 3 meters, but the secret service failed to stop it in time. In this regard, former Japanese police officer Yoshikawa Yuji said, "This can only be said to be an omission of security."

Yoshikawa said that multiple secret service personnel should form a circle with the protected person as the center, stand with their backs to the protected person, and look around, but "according to the scene video, this security arrangement is not well done."

Yoshikawa said, "When the suspect approached Abe, there seemed to be two police officers behind him, one of whom seemed to have spotted a suspicious person and whispered to the other. At this time, one should have stepped forward to stop the suspicious person, but let the suspect get close enough The distance at which the shooting was carried out, it was a negligence of security.”

After Abe was attacked, the rapid response video of the bodyguards of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye became popular again. In the afternoon of 24 March 2022, when Park Geun-hye was giving a speech in Daegu, an unknown person threw a wine bottle at her. Park Geun-hye's more than a dozen bodyguards quickly formed an "iron barrel formation", surrounded Park Geun-hye with their bodies, and quickly opened the protective gear. Strengthen protection.

Among them, a female bodyguard found that someone was going to throw something at Park Geun-hye, she immediately opened her hands to protect her, and jumped to try to intercept it. During this period, she kept staring at the wine bottle thrown by the attacker, and after confirming that the wine bottle landed in front of her feet, she turned around and ran towards Park Geun-hye.

According to reports, these bodyguards are from the South Korean presidential security office, and they have all undergone strict screening and training. The first condition of these guards is that they must have the courage to sacrifice their lives to protect the president.

Biden's odd statement on Abe's assassination in contrast with Trump's statements


Nine hours after former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and five hours after he was pronounced dead, President Joe Biden released a statement about the assassination. The statement, however, was met with criticism due to its mention of the divisive issue of gun violence.

“While there are many details that we do not yet know, we know that violent attacks are never acceptable and that gun violence always leaves a deep scar on the communities that are affected by it,” the White House statement read.

Conservative journalists and commentators, such as Ben Shapiro and Matt Whitlock, took to Twitter to call out the president’s “odd” response, calling it “perhaps the stupidest thing he has ever said.”

This statement is pretty odd.

Abe has been one of America’s most important strategic partners for the last decade (including the Obama years – which Biden was loosely involved in) and Biden is focusing on the larger impact of gun violence? https://t.co/me74qv6gty

— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) July 8, 2022

Tiana Lowe, a commentary writer for the Washington Examiner, wrote that “Biden’s decision to hijack [Abe’s] death for domestic political expedience is more than malicious. It’s moronic.”

The suspected gunman, identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, shot Abe in the neck with what appeared to be a handmade gun during a Friday campaign event, according to CNN. Abe was rushed to a hospital in Nara, Japan, where he was pronounced dead at 4 a.m. EST.

Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world.

Biden released his statement at 9 a.m. EST Friday, Breitbart News reporter Charlie Spiering tweeted, a full eight hours behind former President Donald Trump’s response.

Chris Stigall, a conservative talk radio personality, was quick to note that Trump released two statements, one shortly after the attack and another at 5 a.m. EST.

Trump praised the former prime minister in his first statement, calling Abe a “true friend” to him and America.

Trump later commented on his death, saying it was “really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD!”

"Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind. He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan,” the second post on Truth Social read.

“Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him!”

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kushida said he was “lost for words” and called Abe’s murder a “heinous act,” ABC News reported.

“It is barbaric and malicious and it cannot be tolerated,” Kushida said. “We will do everything we can, and I would like to use the most extreme words available to condemn this act.”

Biden's recent gaffes  include "terminate the presidency" are evidence of his cognitive decline

Reporter : Elizabeth Stauffer, The Western Journal / https://www.westernjournal.com/devastating-27-second-biden-video-everyone-thinking-25th-amendment

Image : Video Screenshot

With Vice President Kamala Harris and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra standing behind him, President Joe Biden stumbled and bumbled his way through remarks before signing an executive order on abortion on Friday.

The occasional Biden gaffe has given way to at least one gaffe during every public appearance. Today’s performance was marked by several.

In the video, Biden read a teleprompter cue which said, “repeat the line.”

Harris remained stoic and just the hint of a smirk could be seen on Becerra’s face.

In the next clip, he slurred his words badly. He tried to read the words, “Right now, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.” Instead of “states,” Biden said “straits.” He pronounced “District of Columbia” as “Disric a Combia.”

 Speaking about a 10-year-old who became pregnant following a rape, rather than saying “terminate the pregnancy,” he said “terminate the presidency.”

Biden’s full presentation can be viewed in the video here.

Two weeks ago, during a meeting at the White House, a camera happened to catch a small notecard in President Joe Biden’s hand. An enlargement of the photo showed the card contained a series of instructions for him to follow.

The first told the president, “YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.” The second said, “YOU take YOUR seat.”

As his obvious cognitive decline progresses, it’s becoming more and more difficult for his wife and his handlers to “prop him up.” He used to be able to at least read a teleprompter, but now he’s begun having problems with that. He slurs his words and sometimes lapses into incoherence.

It’s not an age issue. Few 79-year-olds sound like our President. There is something seriously wrong with him and it is terrifying that he is running our country.

The President’s cognitive decline is now a legitimate national security issue and it’s time that administration officials start thinking about the Twenty-fifth Amendment.

Fuyang patient's cry: People's hearts are scarier than viruses

"The virus is not so scary. What is scary is people's hearts." People were discriminated against, driven and accused everywhere, so that she could not sleep all night after each nucleic acid test until the results came out. Repeated "recovery" caused a lot of pressure on her psychology and life.

Wang Kun (pseudonym) is 26 years old this year. Her hometown is in Yunnan. A few years ago, she and her husband went to a construction site in Shanghai to work. At the beginning of this year, they brought their 2-year-old daughter to Shanghai, and the family of three lived in a container at the construction site.

On 7 April 2022, Wang Kun and his daughter were notified that the results were positive after the antigen test at the construction site. At that time, the confirmed cases at the construction site were not taken away from the isolation immediately. They did not start to take away the isolation until around April 20, resulting in more than 400 people in the entire construction site. Only more than a hundred people are fine, and the rest are all sunny. Wang Kun's husband was also diagnosed shortly after.

Wang Kun said that after the whole family was infected, they basically stopped going out and stayed at home every day. Her husband and daughter turned negative during the nucleic acid test on 17 April 2022, and she was taken away for isolation on 21 April due to her serious condition. After two negative nucleic acid tests in the cabin, she returned to the construction site on the 28th.

Since then, Wang Kun has repeatedly fuyanged, entering and leaving the cabin several times. After the nucleic acid test was positive on June 30, he was directly sent to the Jinshan Public Health Clinical Center for isolation.

She said, "I had doubts about the accuracy of the nucleic acid test, because the antigen was always negative, but the nucleic acid was always positive." When the second test was positive, "My husband rode a battery and drove me outside to do nucleic acid sampling, but  before the results came out, I was forced to enter the square cabin, and the test result came out negative at 12 o'clock that night. But I have already entered the square cabin, and the negative result is useless."

When I tested positive for the third time, "I quarreled with them, and I asked them to come and review me once. But the company was afraid of being implicated and forced me to go to the square cabin. They didn't give me a review, so they pulled me into the square cabin."

"(June 30) I took a lung film after I arrived at the Jinshan Public Health Clinical Center. The doctor said there was no problem. I asked the doctor why I had been recovering from Yang for several months, and the doctor said he didn't know the reason."

Repeated fuyang patient was discriminated against

Due to the strict prevention and control measures taken by the CCP authorities, one person was positive, and the residents of the entire building had to be taken away and quarantined. Wang Kun said, "Shanghai is very discriminatory towards people who work in Yangguo. Like another construction site of our company in Putuo, the people who work in Yangguo simply don't want them and let you go back to your hometown. Our construction site in Baoshan is a little loose because it's in the suburbs. One point, the person who has passed Yang will let you go to work." But because she had returned to Yang many times, she was still kicked out of the container by the company.

"The container we lived in was rented by us, but the general contractor on the construction site said that if I lived there, I would not allow my husband to go to work." Wang Kun said.

Later, the Wang Kun family found a five-family house in Jiading and moved out of the construction site. After moving to the group rental house, she returned to the sun on 30 June. In order to take care of her daughter, she asked the neighborhood committee to apply for home isolation at home. After learning that Wang Kun had returned to Yang many times, the neighborhood committee rejected her application and ordered her husband and child (who had turned negative) to go to the hotel for isolation.

A few days after Wang Kun's family were taken away for isolation, her husband received a call from the landlord on 4 July, saying that the neighbors found the landlord together and asked her husband to move out immediately after the isolation.

"I don't know what to do. My husband can't go to work with his daughter, and now he has nowhere to live. We didn't earn any money this year, and the migrant workers didn't get paid during the quarantine period. We rented that house and paid a deposit. The 1,700 yuan is not necessarily returned to me. The landlord blames me for saying that because of my business, the decoration of his house has to be demolished, and he has lost a lot of money." Wang Kun cried and said, "We moved here because there are all four neighbors went to quarantine. Even affecting the community, they are blaming me."

"We have a group that said that I should not go to rent a house in the group, and said a lot. A neighbor's wife said that I caused her husband to quarantine, and let us move out after the quarantine."

She said, "Actually, they don't tell me that, and I'm also looking for a house. I want to rent a house in the countryside, so that it won't affect others, but I'm very sad to hear those ugly words, and I can't sleep at one or two o'clock at night. , I don't want to be like this. But it's normal for people to blame you. After all, after being locked at home for so long, I finally went to work normally, and because I was affected. "

She said that Shanghai is not yet completely unblocked, and it still needs to do an accounting test every 72 hours, and then a large community screening (nucleic acid test for all staff) every week, and it is impossible to get out without a nucleic acid test.

Hotels reject fuyang and positive-turned negative patients and their living conditions are poor

Discrimination for contracting the virus is not a new phenomenon. In early May of this year, Ms. Kong's husband from Guangdong passed away while she was seeking medical treatment in Shanghai. Afterwards, she asked more than 40 hotels to let her stay, so she was forced to live on the streets. According to a report by China Youth Daily on 5 May 2022, recently, some patients who have been discharged from square cabin hospitals have difficulty entering the community, and even have to live in tents on the street. Some of them are having disputes with landlords, and some are rejected by the community due to issues such as group renting and illegal construction of houses. What they felt was the incomprehension of some community residents and the faint discrimination against the positive infected people who turned negative.

Wang Kun said, "Since I have recovered many times, I basically don't go out very much, because when I go out and see other people, I am afraid, and I feel a little socially afraid. I am afraid that if I have any problems with myself, I will hurt others, and I will stay away from others when I go out. Far away, I dare not talk to others. After the nucleic acid test, I couldn’t sleep all night, and I couldn’t even eat until the nucleic acid results came out.”

She said, "After this incident, I feel so disappointed. In fact, I don't think the virus is so scary. It's good to get through that period of time, but I feel that people's hearts are too scary. When people hear you, he will be scared to death."

"I don't want to stay here, but my hometown in Yunnan is relatively poor and there are no factories. My husband can't find a job and earn money when he goes back to his hometown." But in Shanghai, "I don't know where I can go with my children, and I don't know whether Some people will be willing to rent a house to me. I heard that there is a town of Chedun in Songjiang, Shanghai. There are many people sleeping under the square and bridge, because they can't find a job because they can't find a job (can only sleep on the street). A few days ago, I was with a friend who took a video at Chedun and showed it to me, and the square was really full of people."
