This acrimonious dispute is just a symptom of the adulteration of China’s communism faith. the antagonism undercurrents towards dictatorship reach their climax and someday, sooner or later, will take over the whole state’s political architecture. A Chinese old adage says,’being meat on governor’s chopping block’, which vividly represents current state of Chinese people’s living. Information Blocking is not analgesic of the government. Please tell truth to your citizen, CCP!

When China’s legal system and criminal laws are arbitrary and corrupted, the difference between police and criminal becomes subjective. If history repeats itself, today’s criminal/rebel can easily becomes tomorrow’s hero/party and government official.

@ timur:

Yes, calling a cop-killer or a murderer a hero SHOULD be ridiculous. Unfortunately, the hatred towards the police is NOT exaggerated. That’s the sad part and the main thing the authorities need to seriously take into consideration. It shouldn’t be this way…so why is it?

Does China have any previous criminal folk heroes like the US has? I think I’ll have to look into that–could be interesting.

This heroism is totally out of mind, and ridiculous. The hatred towards police officer are exaggerated.

To purpose,

snip: it is still a legal case that has been handled very poorly. snip

Can you elabolate a bit more please.
Who do you think netizen should support,(1)the police
(2) Yang Jia and his missing mother.

I believe right at this monent millions of chinese netizens have already make up their mind.

　　　　民不畏死,奈何以死惧之

This is the Chinese tradition,when folks can look death in the eye,torture or death penalty no longer carry any weight.

@ ali baba:
Ok, your country guerrilla men wrote national anthems.

I have got the picture, the chinese are very dangerous and their officers are very good. Thank you. I had already donated a few clicks, that should be the end of it on global voice.

Another post from http://www.sina.com
I think this song was written to the tune of the national anthem.The original lyric is being censored on chinese internet.

A very famous song(so famous that everybody knows it)
Here is the new lyric in English,can any friends be kind enough to do some translation?

Cheap sale
People in Wonderland
Using our blood and flesh
To build a new Great Wall
People in Wonderland
Time to sell everything you own
Everybody yelling and shouting happily
Cheap sale Cheap sale Cheap sale
One billion people one heart
Bombarded by Japanese yens
Cheap Sale Cheap Sale Cheap Sale Sale

End of song.
