Sichuan Chengdu youth Mei Shilin has been missing for nearly half a month after hanging three giant anti-communist banners on the overpass in the city. The latest news says that Mei Shilin has been criminally detained by the Chinese Communist Party authorities, and the police are investigating his overseas contacts.
On the morning of 15 April, a picture of three white-bottomed red-letter banners hung on the viaduct outside the Chadianzi Bus Station in Chengdu, Sichuan, went viral on the Internet. The picture says "There is no national rejuvenation without political system reform", "The people do not need a political party with unconstrained power", "China does not need anyone to point out the direction, democracy is the direction".
After hanging the banner, 27-year-old Mei Shilin has been out of contact. There are reports that Mei Shilin has been detained by the police.
On 28 April 2025, Mr. Qin from Chengdu told Radio Free Asia that the Chengdu authorities are investigating whether he has a foreign background. If he does, he will be handed over to the National Security Bureau and transferred to the Municipal National Security Bureau Detention Center. If no substantial evidence of collusion with foreign forces is found, he will be handled by the Chengdu police.
Mr. Qin said that the authorities are extremely nervous about this incident. In the past half month, the national security and traffic police of the Public Security Bureau in Chengdu have been highly nervous. They are afraid that if a similar incident happens again, the Public Security Bureau Chief will have to resign.
Another Chengdu insider, Mr. Yang, also confirmed that Mei Shilin has been detained by the police.
"The young man who hung the political reform slogan, Mei Shilin, is from Yongfu Town, Muchuan County, Sichuan Province. He previously worked in a technology company in Chengdu. He was treated unfairly in a labor dispute, and when he complained to the government for help, he was ignored. Such things are actually commonplace." Mr. Yang said.
It is reported that Mei Shilin once worked for Shenzhen Broad Vision Zhiyuan Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd.
Regarding the incident of Mei Shilin publicly hanging the banner, Mr. Yang said that Chinese society is under high pressure, and many young people are dissatisfied with reality and are continuing to rise. "Such a pressure cooker of social pressure has also made young people reflect on society and the entire political system."
Du Wen, a former Inner Mongolia official living abroad, recently revealed that Mei Shilin had emailed him a 13-second short video, photos and ID card on the day of the incident, and said, "I have prepared this slogan for more than a year, and I hope to help spread it."
Du Wen said that Mei Shilin is the Sichuan version of "Peng Lifa" and he has been preparing for this for a long time. He believes that as a Chinese, he lives too aggrieved, and he wants to shout, even if he is torn to pieces.
At that time, Du Wen also advised Mei Shilin to leave China quickly, but he said that he wanted to stay in China.
A few days ago, Australian legal scholar Yuan Hongbing revealed to the Epoch Times that these banners were removed after being hung for nearly three hours. What really shocked the CCP was not the content of the banners themselves. The whole incident not only revealed the collapse of the CCP's stability maintenance system, but also exposed the potential dissatisfaction and slacking phenomenon within the system with Xi's regime.
It is reported that this matter directly attracted Xi Jinping's attention, and the case was handed over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China and the secret police of the Ministry of State Security for joint investigation.
On 28 April, political commentator Shan Fengchen wrote in the Epoch Times, "I want to stay in China!" When the Chinese people heard Mei Shilin's words, they would be proud and excited; but when Xi Jinping heard it, he would be frightened and unable to sleep or eat. This is equivalent to a thunder hanging over Xi Jinping and the CCP.
