"What are you doing here? Do you even know where you are? Get out of here!"
Reporter Lin, accompanied by a team of security guards, arrogantly drove the crowd away.
Guan Yuxi stood up calmly, holding a banner in her hand, and walked step by step to him.
She narrowed her eyes, staring intently at him, and said:
"May I ask, Reporter Lin, what crime have we committed?"
"How dare you cause trouble in front of our newspaper office and ask such a question?"
"What did we do to cause trouble? Did we insult or assault anyone? Does this road belong to you or has the newspaper bought it outright?"
"You... you're so sharp-tongued. Does this road belong to the newspaper office or to your family?"
Reporter Lin said to the security guard, "Get this person out of here!"
He then pointed at Guan Yuxi and said, "Come with me to apologize to the leaders, and we'll let you off the hook. Otherwise... you'll each be sent to jail."
"Stop! Who dares?"
In broad daylight, is there no justice left?
Does this mean your newspaper has the final say in Hongshi?
Guan Yuxi placed the banner horizontally, separating the security guards from the villagers of Lengjiagou.
She said loudly, "Your Hongshi Daily fabricated facts and slandered and defamed Comrade Guan XX, bringing shame to his heroic spirit."
Now that we've come here to seek justice, standing quietly in front of the newspaper office without making a fuss, you actually want to suppress us with force?
"Is this the power the people have given you meant for you to abuse?"
She looked at him with neither arrogance nor servility, her face cold and her eyes icy.
The villagers of Lengjiagou standing behind her also stepped forward and said in unison:
"Never forget the martyrs who sacrificed their lives; the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation!"
"Hongshi Daily must apologize!"
"We must never let heroes be wronged!"
The three slogans, perfectly synchronized, were powerful and inspiring, carrying a touch of tragic grandeur.
As they spoke, someone's voice choked up.
Gradually, all the tones took on a hint of crying.
The crowd grew larger and larger, and soon the area in front of the newspaper office became so crowded that it was impossible to move an inch.
Those who were unaware of the truth began whispering among themselves and asking their companions about it.
Some people who were unaware of the truth looked down on Guan Yuxi and her group.
There were also some astute individuals who had already sensed something unusual from the municipal party committee's response.
They stood behind Guan Yuxi and the others, joining the ranks of those attacking the newspaper.
The tragic and desolate atmosphere is the most moving.
Those who are emotional and easily moved to tears also started wiping away tears.
Reporter Lin saw that things were gradually slipping out of his control.
He stopped wasting words with Guan Yuxi and ordered the security guards to take action and remove her.
The people of Lengjiagou remained unmoved and continued chanting slogans over and over again.
Seeing that he couldn't push them away, reporter Lin directly ordered, "Beat them!"
The security guards dared not disobey.
The villagers of Lengjiagou, besides protecting Guan Yuxi, also protected their own heads as the police batons fell on them.
It lasted for about two or three minutes.
A security guard's baton struck Guan Yuxi on the forehead.
She touched it reflexively, and blood immediately gushed from her forehead.
The slogans gradually faded, turning into a cacophony of condemnations:
"We've already been tolerant enough, why did you have to hit her?"
"Do you have no regard for the law? How dare you abuse your power in broad daylight?"
"As long as we have a breath left, we will seek justice for Old Master Guan!"
"Come on, if you've got the guts, shoot us! If you don't, you're not human!"
......
At the same time, the villagers took out a stack of leaflets from their bags and quickly distributed them to the onlookers.
The leaflet listed the charges that the media had fabricated against the "Kwan family":
First, Guan XX forcibly abducted a woman and fathered fifteen sons, all of whom hold important positions.
Outrageous! Grandpa Guan only had one son, who died in the line of duty long ago, and only one granddaughter to depend on for survival.
Second, Guan XX caused havoc among his neighbors and became a local tyrant and emperor.
Outrageous! Grandpa Guan dedicated his life to helping the needy and was deeply loved by the local people.
Third, Guan XX's granddaughter fought with a female educated youth surnamed Bai for a man, forcing her husband to leave for another place.
Outrageous! Leng X Xing, a man surnamed Bai who was a sent-down youth, committed intentional injury and murder, and fled after injuring armed forces personnel!
Fourth, Guan XX amassed a large amount of wealth, and his family lived a life of luxury, eating fish and meat at every meal.
Outrageous! After Mr. Guan passed away, his granddaughter had been a vegetarian for over a year. How could she be eating meat and fish?
Fifth, Guan XX's grandson-in-law comes from a terrible family and is deeply entrenched in capitalist ways, yet he passed the political vetting process and holds an important position in the military.
Outrageous! Her grandson-in-law got a job in the armed forces department, which is a normal "job replacement".
Sixth, seventh, eighth...
Special note: Mr. Guan was killed on [date]. The Shuanghe Commune Armed Forces Department classified his death as "sacrifice".
However, the identity, origin, and characteristics of the murderer who killed Grandpa Guan remain unsolved to this day!
in addition:
Regarding the third statement: Leng X Xing committed murder and fled on [date], which was later than the murder of Grandpa Guan. His granddaughter was just an orphan. How could she rely on her position to force the husband of the educated youth surnamed Bai to leave for another place?
Regarding the fourth point: Since Mr. Guan passed away, his granddaughter has been grateful for his kindness and has followed ancient customs by observing a vegetarian diet for a year. How could she have been indulging in meat and fish?
Regarding the fifth point: It was at the cost of his life that Grandpa Guan's grandson-in-law got a job in the Armed Forces Department.
Furthermore, her grandson-in-law had only been employed for a little over two months and was dismissed due to poor relationships with colleagues, which was recorded in his personnel file.
All the above information can be verified by Shuanghe Commune and its residents, and the witnesses are as follows...
