A Chinese Woman Who Was Missing For A Decade Has Been Found Living In An Internet Cafe
A Chinese woman who was missing for a decade has been found living in an internet cafe. She reportedly left her family home at the age of 14 and was presumed dead. She was reportedly discovered by police during a spot check at the cafe.
Students on campus continue to talk about Zhang’s disappearance, especially now that Christensen’s trial is underway.
Xiaoyun
When she was 14, Xiaoyun ran away from home after an argument with her parents. She never returned and was presumed dead by the police and her family. However, 10 years later, the 24-year-old woman was found living in an internet cafe and playing online games.
Xiaoyun was discovered by police on November 20th during a routine check of an internet café in Zhejiang province. The women was using a fake ID card and when police questioned her she admitted that she had been living in internet cafes for the past decade. She said that she survived by relying on handouts from cafe staff and customers. She also spent her days playing the popular first-person shooter game CrossFire.
Although she was initially reluctant to meet with her parents, she eventually agreed and they were reunited over the weekend. Yun told police that she was so good at CrossFire that other players would pay her to teach them the best tactics. She also worked as a cashier in some internet cafes to earn extra income.
The woman, who has not been named, was reportedly so adept at the game that she could beat players from other countries. Her family was able to find her after she posted a message on the WeChat messaging app asking for help. The message was read by a friend who contacted the local police station.
In addition to her work as a gamer, Xiaoyun has worked as a digital artist on projects including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Rome and Agra, India. She has worked with the DHARMA team at the School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame, where she has been focusing on digital documentation, preservation and visualization of World Heritage sites.
In the past, Xiaoyun has been featured on many Chinese television shows and has competed in various singing contests, including the televised talent show The Voice of China 4. She also made it to the semifinals of the Chinese version of Super Girl. Her mother, who has not been named, told the Qianjiang Evening News that she had not changed her phone number since the daughter disappeared in the hope that she would one day contact her.
Cao Zhixin
Cao Zhixin was 27 when she took part in a protest against China’s zero-Covid policy that grew to be known as the “blank paper movement.” The group of young people met to hold vigils and hold up blank pieces of paper, representing restrictions on free speech.
Those who participated in the protests were accused of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” The police warned that anyone who would not obey their orders to stay at home could face arrest. One day in November 2022, Cao joined friends at a vigil on the Liangma Bridge in Beijing. The crowd gathered to commemorate the victims of a deadly fire in an apartment complex in Xinjiang’s capital, Urumqi. The vigil was also a protest against China’s strict lockdown policies that confine residents of the city to their homes for long periods of time.
The vigil began as a quiet affair but soon got louder, and police swarmed in to disperse the crowd. They checked attendees’ IDs and banned communication apps like WeChat. Those who refused to obey were taken away.
A few days after the vigil, an acquaintance saw video posts on social media of Cao and others being taken by the police. Fearing that she might also be arrested, she asked a trusted friend to record a message in case she was detained.
In the video, Cao says she and her friends were summoned on November 30 but released 24 hours later after being “educated” by police. On December 18, police began to take them into criminal detention. She claims they were told they were being taken to a detention center but that her lawyers have not been allowed to see them.
On January 19, Cao was formally charged with picking quarrels and provoking trouble. She has been held incommunicado since, and her lawyer’s application for bail and written opinion arguing against her arrest have both been denied.
Her family has set up a fund to raise money for legal fees. In the meantime, they are struggling to find food and supplies for their daughter. They have been able to borrow some funds, but it’s not enough to cover all their expenses.
Kamile Wayit
In 2022, Kamile Wayit, a Uyghur university student from Henan province, was arrested in her hometown of Atush City, Xinjiang. She was charged with ‘promoting extremism’ and sentenced to three years in prison. She is thought to be currently serving her sentence in Kashgar’s Mush Women’s Prison.
Kamile was a theatre teacher in her previous job and was also a tutor for an online education company. But her online activism in support of the white paper protests drew the attention of local officials who monitored her social media accounts. As a result, she was subjected to regular interrogations and had her family’s phone numbers blocked.
She has been deprived of essential health care and is now suffering from severe medical problems including hormonal imbalance, menstrual irregularities, calcium deficiency, high glucose levels, low blood pressure, weight loss, pain in the lower back and eye irritation. She is also being subjected to emotional stress and sleep deprivation.
Wayit’s case demonstrates how the Chinese authorities can construe even peaceful, legal behaviour as ‘promoting extremism’ and arbitrarily arrest and imprison individuals. The Xinjiang government uses the charges as an excuse to restrict civil liberties and restrict freedom of speech. This trend has drawn the attention of international organisations, including Amnesty International and Broken Chalk.
Wayit is not the only one to suffer this fate. Many activists who speak out against the repression in Xinjiang are facing detention and persecution.
The Chinese government’s crackdown on dissenting voices has been condemned by international organisations, rights groups, academics and students. The US State Department has urged China to respect human rights and ensure the release of all unjustly detained people.
It is time for China to stop the repression in Xinjiang and release those held without charge or trial. You can help by writing an appeal to the Chinese authorities or signing this petition. Thank you for your support!
Li Siqi
Li Siqi is one of China’s most recognizable celebrities. She is known for her exceptional talent, captivating performances, and soulful music. In addition, she has a stunning beauty and charm that have made her a favorite among fans. Li Siqi has a large following on social media and is well-known for her impeccable fashion sense. She is also a talented photographer and has created several photo projects.
Li’s photographs are soft expressions of thought and feeling, and she is able to convey a sense of longing in her work. Her photographs capture the delicate beauty of an empty nest and the pains of loss.
She began her career as a model and quickly rose to fame with her exceptional talent and beautiful looks. She has since starred in numerous television shows and films. Li Siqi has a diverse portfolio and is an inspiration for many young women. She has received numerous awards and nominations for her outstanding performances.
In addition to her acting, she has also launched her own clothing line and has done a number of charity projects. She is an advocate for the environment and has a strong passion for social justice. Li’s dedication to her work and her passionate personality have helped her build an impressive career in the industry.
In a recent interview, she said that her arrest was a clear attempt by the government to send a message that it would not tolerate the dissent of civil rights activists. She added that the crackdown had radicalised her as she witnessed first-hand the power of collective resistance.
Li was a regular attendee at reading sessions and film-watching events held in community spaces and independent bookstores around Beijing. These events encouraged young people to discuss topics ranging from literature and art to social issues. However, the opportunities for discussion have dwindled in recent years as the government has cracked down on these activities.
Li was arrested with her partner Xu Zhiyong and Zhai Dengrui, both human rights lawyers. They were charged with “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, a vaguely worded charge that could carry up to five years in prison. Activists say that the arrests are part of an ongoing campaign to silence dissent in China.
