Sun Zhigang, a 27-year-old designer from Hubei Province working in Guangzhou but not holding zanzhuzheng (temporary residence permit), was stopped in the street by local police and abused to death. By South Metropolis staff 　　 　　Mar. 17th, Sun was stopped in the street on his way to an internet café by Guangzhou’s police and taken to Huangcun Str. Police Station. 　　Mar. 18th, Sun was transferred from Huangcun Str. Police Station to Guangzhou’s Asylum for Laborers from other provinces. 　　Mar. 18th, Sun was transferred to the medical center of the asylum. 　　Mar. 20th, Sun was announced dead by the medical center. 　　Apr. 18th, autopsy indicated that Sun was brutally abused 72 hours before his death. 　　 　　YOU CAN BE HARASSED ANY MINUTE IF YOU ARE NOT LOCAL 　　Around 10 pm, Mar. 17th, 2003, Sun went out to an internet café as usual but he could never made his way back. Sun was stopped in the street by local police to show his zanzhuzheng (temporary residence permit), which is required for people from other provinces, and ID card. Having been working in Guangzhou for less than one month, Sun had not obtained his zanzhuzheng yet and happened to have left his ID card at his residence. The police took Sun to Huangcun Str. Police Station and Sun was announced dead three days later. 　　Around 11:00 pm of Mar. 17th, Sun called his roommate Mr. Cheng through his mobile phone, telling him that he was taken to the police station because he did not have zanzhuzheng. Sun asked Cheng to bail him out with money and his ID card. Cheng hurried to the police station around midnight only to be told by the police that Sun could not be bailed out. 　　Confused by the fact that some other people were bailed out that night while only Sun could not, Cheng, not local, asked the police for an explanation but was rejected. According to Cheng’s local friends, it was very likely that Sun “had talked back” during the interrogation, or the police might have allowed the bailment if Cheng gave them money. Cheng recalled that he saw Sun at the police station and had the chance to talk to him. Sun admitted that he had bickered with the policemen during the interrogation but his remarks were not harsh. 　　One of Sun’s friends received a phone call from Sun on Mar. 18th, who was now trapped in the asylum for laborers without zanzhuzheng. He said that Sun sounded terrified, so he asked Sun’s boss to try to bail Sun out. Sun’s boss went to the asylum in person but was told to go again the next day, because they were “about to be off duty”. 　　Sun’s friend called the asylum Mar. 18th and was told that Sun had been transferred to the medical center (the hospital). Documents in the hospital showed that Sun was sent in at 11:30 pm of Mar. 18th. Cheng hurried to the hospital that day, but was denied entrance because “only Sun’s relatives are allowed to see him.” Sun was from Central China’s Hubei Province and none of his relatives was in Guangzhou. 　　Sun’s friend called the hospital Mar. 20th and was astonished to know that Sun had died of “heart attack”, although his friends and his father had never heard that Sun had any problem with his heart. 　　The hospital’s record showed that Sun was “sleepless, nervous, vomiting and urinating constantly” when he was transferred to the medical center from the asylum. A nurse recalled that Sun was comatose in the hospital and when she tried to attend to him at 10:00 pm of Mar.20th, “his health deteriorated, his face was pale like paper, breath very weak, blood pressure too weak to be felt, he couldn’t speak or move”. Sun died at 10:25 that morning. 　　The hospital asked Sun’s friend to wait at the undertaker’s. Two hours after the friend’s arrival, Sun’s body was sent there. 　　 　　BEATEN TO DEATH 　　The hospital said Sun had died of heart attack. According to a doctor at the hospital, Sun had told them that he had heart problems. However, Sun’s parents and former classmates told the reporter that they had never known Sun had problems with his heart. The autopsy also found the doctor was not telling the truth. 　　Autopsy center of Guangzhou’s Zhongshan University delivered a report Apr. 18th, indicating that Sun died in shock and he had been heavily beaten on the back and many other places on the body. Heavy hemorrhage was found in the back and the muscles on the sides. The 3.5 centimeter thick, 60 centimeter long and 50 centimeter wide solid blood piece found under the skin on his back suggested that the whole of his backside had been severely beaten. A doctor who wished to be kept anonymous told the reporter that Sun must have been beaten with numerous blows, for the hemorrhage was extensive and serious. 　　Legal medical experts from Zhongshan University were all stunned by the brutality. One of the expert said that Sun was not only beaten from the shoulders to the buttocks, the 1.5-square-meter black spots on the shoulders and knees suggested he had also been tortured with burning. 　　It is also noticeable that there were not many wounds or cuts on the surface of Sun’s body, but extensive and severe subcutaneous soft tissue contusions were found. The legal medical expert said such contusions could be caused only when the victim wore thick clothes, which was usually the case in winter. However, weather records of March 17th through 20th showed a temperature range of 16C~28C degrees, in which Sun could not have worn winter clothes. 　　The reporter has been trying to arrange an interview with Huangcun Str. Police Station, which, however, refused because they “have to get the approval from officials of higher levels”. The reporter then contacted the higher level, Tianhe Police Station, which again told the reporter that they needed approval from the municipal Public Security Bureau to be interviewed. The reporter finally reached the municipal PS Bureau and was told to deliver an outline of what would be asked beforehand. The outline was faxed immediately to them but no answer was given to the reporter up to now. 　　The reporter went to the municipal People’s Affairs Bureau and Mr. Xie Zhitang, the vice-director, received him. “The staff of the asylum couldn’t have beaten him. They are all civil servants. ”Xie said, “the staff found Sun didn’t feel well, so they sent him to the hospital. I’m 99.8 sure that he was not beaten in the asylum.” 　　But nobody can deny that the fact that Sun was brutally beaten after he had been detained by the police, since the autopsy could not tell a lie. The last place where Sun stayed before death was the hospital. Was he beaten there? The hospital denied this. 　　Before Sun left the asylum to the hospital, the police asked him to sign his name on a document. Sun wrote like this, “Satisfied! Thank you! Thank you!” 　　 　　HE WAS　KILLED BECAUSE HE KNEW HIS RIGHT 　　Sun was detained by the police because he did not hold zanzhuzheng (temporary residence permit). But the reporter has not find any law which says people without zanzhuzheng should be detained. Unfortunately, this happens every day. 　　Sun graduated from a university in his home province Hubei in 2001 and moved to Guangzhou early 2003, working in a fashion company as a designer. His workmates told the reporter that Sun was “quite a decent man”. 　　Sun’s former classmates said that Sun was a very good guy. Li Xiaoling, Sun’s classmate in university told the reporter that Sun was very talented and liked to debate over academic topics. 　　Sun’s father, a farmer from the countryside, who is trying hard to keep the sad news of his son’s death from his old and feeble wife, is grieving alone for his son’s death. Sun’s father told the reporter that Sun was the only one who had completed higher education in their village. But now the sad father regretted sending his son to university. “If he hadn’t gone to university, he wouldn’t have been so bookish to argue about his right, then he wouldn’t have got killed,” he said.
