CHAINED Woman Found In Shed Of Tiktoker’s Home, Went Viral, Then Disappeared From Internet

Barbie Berbu. This video is going to look a little bit. different. I don't know if you guys. watched the last one, but I was sick for. 2 weeks. I'm fine now, but I tried my. best to research and do all these things. in bed. It just was not very good, but. I'm back. I feel a thousand times better. and we are working on a lot of very. important cases right now. We're working. with a victim's family member on a case. There's a lot of just strange things. that have been happening that we want to. bring these cases to you guys, but we. want them to be good. So it's taking a.

little bit of time and we didn't want to. go without any videos. So this is going. to be video that we are posting that is. not totally new and fresh. This video is. actually filmed maybe a year ago and it. was posted on a different channel of. mine, a separate one called Stephanie. Sue. The story is about two different. women in China who lived very. drastically different lives. One woman. was kidnapped by a TikToker, a Douyiner. influencer in China and she was held. hostage in his house for a very long. time. And then another woman, she cried.

tears of joy 30 minutes before she was. executed by the country for murder. This. was from a year ago. Uh, I might look a. little bit different. I might sound a. little bit different, but I hope you. guys enjoy and I will see you guys in. the next one that will be just the. rotten mangoes that you're used to.

I'm just going to start with a universal. truth, okay? You should never buy stuff. illegally. I feel like that's just a. global law, especially things that. shouldn't be and can't be sold in the. first place, like pandas. Did you know. that you can't buy a panda? Did you know. that all pandas are owned by China? They.

are only native in China and all the. pandas that are in all the zoos across. the world, they're on loan from China. But it also. means, unlike any other animal, no other. government, no other individual can own. a panda. So in China, the punishment to. buy a panda in the underground breeding. market, which I assume is not that big. of a breeding market, but if you do end. up somehow buying a panda, you will be. sentenced to more than 10 years in. prison. That's actually less than I.

thought. They're considered national treasure. So. it's a big deal. I mean, yeah, but like. 10 years? That's the minimum sentence. for buying a panda. That's a lot. I. mean, there are people that have done. worse things that get out in like 2. years. If you buy two parrots, special. breed parrots, you will be sentenced to. more than 5 years in prison in China. And I'm telling you this because. recently a case in China has taught. everyone that a woman is less than a. panda and even less than two birds. Let's talk about the viral TikTok. Douyiner case of the chained woman.

Okay, so there is like a whole niche of. creators online and you're going to see. them pop up from like all over the world. on TikTok. Like you see them in America, Europe, Asia, Africa. They're called. feel-good influencers. So it's not that. they're happy. They're not influencers. that are, you know, your happy place. They're literally in the business of. making you feel good. So most of their. videos, they go something like this. First video. This man right here is. without a home. You guys, I'm going to. let him tell his story. Then the person.

will share their struggles with being. without a home and how that's impacted. their lives, their children's lives, their family. And then later, a. follow-up video will be made using the. donations that viewers have sent in. where the man without a home is. surprised with all the money. It's like. this universal moment. Even if you don't. understand the language because I've. seen different countries do this and it. pops up on my TikTok feed because. because, you know, it's it's like a. thing. I do watch until the end, okay? And it's a moment of like intense. understanding, humanity, hope for the.

future that we can all change the world. make it a better place. And almost. always, it's a select number of trending. heartwarming uplifting music that is. playing in the back. Listen, I'm not on. these influencers. I hope I hope that. majority of these influencers are. genuine because I'm literally on that. side of TikTok. I will watch every. single one of them. I will even donate. to the GoFundMe's because it just makes. my heart hurt, but in the end, it also. makes me and everyone else feel good, you know? You feel good in the end. almost. You're on this like emotional.

journey. You feel so bad. You feel. grateful for your life. You feel like. you should be thankful for your things. And then you feel good in the end. They're in the business of making people. feel good. And if these good positive. energy influencers are legit, then they. are changing the world. But in every. industry where there are no regulations. and there's money to be made, how do you. know if all of them are legit? How do. you know which ones are hiding dark. secrets behind their positive energy. facade? Recently in China, a father of. eight went viral on Douyin, which is the.

TikTok in China. And the dad's name is. Tong Chiming. We're going to call him. Mr. D. It's literally like Daddy of Five. all over again, but Daddy of Eight. And. I can see why everyone was just quickly. obsessed, okay? I would probably be one. of those people. Mr. D had a really. intense story. His mom was in her 80s. and he was taking care of his disabled. older brother. He had eight children. that ranged from 3 years old to 10 years. old and he was raising them all by. himself in this tiny little village in.

China. He had like no heat during the. winters. They had no flooring in their. house. It was just like dirt in the. floor. And with no partner in sight to. help him. He's like a single father of. eight. But the crazy thing is, I mean, nobody would even blame Mr. D for being. a sour, mean, old man, just a douchebag. Imagine that kind of pressure to feed. that many people, to do all this. housework. You know, if he was a little bit mean, nobody would be mad. His life was pretty. miserable. But even though that he's. barely making it by, the children have.

no clothes, they have like no food. It. was rough. He was such a happy, positive. person online.

So his story starts getting attention on. social media. Bigger TikTokers are. reposting his videos, giving him.

shout-outs, being like, "Hey guys, look. at this family. Go follow them. Go show. them some love." Some of the local. TikTokers that live in nearby cities or. the towns, they would go and visit Mr. D. And they would draw more attention to. Mr. D. They're like, "Go look at this. family, guys. Look, I'm with this. family. This is what we're doing. Look. at how he lives. Guys, I'm going to link. his GoFundMe." It was like this whole. ordeal. And the TikTokers, they would. show the like the whole world the harsh. truth that everyone likes to ignore. I. mean, most of their audiences were like. in their heat-controlled homes in the.

winter, laying in their clean sheets and. blankets with the smell of dinner. seeping up from downstairs. But a good majority of the audience had. never seen conditions like this. So it. was eye-opening and. it was what people call poverty porn in. a lot of different industries, like the. reality shows that show that. Yeah, we've talked about it before. That's. like the label people put on it. So it. was kind of a mixture of that. Like. people were amazed at how tattered the. clothings of the children were and it. just was heartbreaking. They even.

interviewed Mr. D for their TikToks. where he shared more about his life. They're like, "Okay, well, tell us about your life." And he's like, "Okay, well, I receive maybe $430 from. the government every month to feed all. these kids. That's not a lot. That's for. everything, my housing, feeding them, clothes. I mean, I I got to make sure. that they get to college. That's my. dream.". And the TikTok would end with the. influencer saying, "Guys, please go. follow Dad of Eight on Douyin. Please.

and check the link to see how you can. help their family and donate.". Literally all of this sounds completely. normal. I feel like I would even share. that video or even talk about it or like. try to draw attention to this family. because, I mean, who wouldn't? And soon.

Father of Eight children gained like. 200,000 followers on Douyin. And he's. like, "Okay, I can make money this way. It's like the. best way." Which makes sense. Nobody's. dogging on him for that. So Dad of Eight. children starts live-streaming, accepting donations, accepting gifts. And in the early videos, Mr. D would. show his children and he tried to answer. all the questions that were most. frequently asked, like, "Why do you have. eight kids?" And he said, "I never had a. wife until I was 34 years old. I was. single and in the village, that's.

something that everyone looks down upon. when you're single for that long. So. when I finally got a wife, it just. happened. We started having kid after. kid after kid and. yeah, I guess it makes sense, you know, no judgement. Then another frequently. asked question was, "Will you ever put. up the kids for adoption?" And he said. without any hesitation, "I wouldn't. As. the children have already been born into. my family, I have to raise them. That. they're my responsibility, you know? We. never terminated any pregnancies." He.

was very proud of that, by the way. You think of that what you will. And he. said, "Among the eight children, seven. of them of them were boys, and one of. them is a girl." Now, this is where the. story starts taking an interesting turn. People are like, "Wait, what about the. one-child policy? What the fork is going. on right now, okay?" And people start. asking, "Well, what are the kids' names? What should we call the kids?" And he. responded, "Well, you guys want to know. the kids' names? So, um the girl's name. is Silver Phoenix." Literal translation. So, it's not like a meaning. Okay, so. you know how Chinese characters can have. a deeper meaning and stuff? It It's like.

that in Korea. If your name is Chisu, the Chi has a meaning in the traditional. Hanja, like the traditional Korean. character. And then Su has a meaning. So, it could mean like beautiful angel, but the direct translation would not be. Chisu in English is beautiful angel. But. his direct translation was like Silver. Phoenix. Yeah, I was like. That's the meaning, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was like really direct. And then the boys had very peculiar. meanings, too. Names Hong Kong, Aerospace, Hong Kong. Yeah,

Hong Kong. Yeah. Interesting. Aerospace, Gold Mountain, Okay. Silver Mountain, Treasury, International. Okay, so of course the. viewers I mean, they had the same. reaction like we did, which was like, "Okay, we're not judging, but like what? Who Who named these kids? Was there a. meaning behind, you know, all these. different names? Like there's going to. be a story behind this. No one names. their kids that without a good story, right?" And he calmly explained, "The. story is The money from the Gold. Mountain goes to the Silver Mountain, then it goes to the bank, and the bank's.

money goes to the Treasury, and if the. Treasury is unable to keep the money, it. goes international or into Aerospace or. to Hong Kong.". What? Okay, so basically. basically he was I think he was really. adamant that at least one of his kids. would have money. It's obvious that his. education level isn't high, and that's. how they usually name kids. I think it's. also supposed to be like, "Okay, like. the money is going to end up in one of. my kids' pockets." Because if it doesn't. stay in the bank, it goes to the.

Treasury. If it doesn't go there, it. goes to this, and it goes to Aerospace. Does that make sense? So, he's like. thought of all the loopholes of where. the money could be sent, and he's like. got that covered. Got it covered, okay? I mean, the sentiment of it all was just. hope, which is a good sentiment we can. get behind. Find a little bit strange, but that's fine. We can get behind some. fun names. People are naming their. children all sorts of weird things. I. mean, have you heard these celebrity. kids' names these days? Even weirder. I. think the only frequently asked question. that wasn't well answered was. where the hell is their mother?

And all he would say was, "The. children's mom is the hero of the. family." That was like it. Nobody wanted. to push it because maybe he didn't want. to air out the dirty laundry online. Maybe he didn't want the kids to see him. talking to the mom. Maybe the mom passed. away and it was too sensitive of a. subject. Maybe she cheated and left, right? Everyone tried to be remain. respectful. Like, "Guys, stop asking. Stop asking. Like we don't need to know, okay?" That is until January 27th of. 2022 the whole case blew up. I'm talking.

wide open. All of Douyin, TikTok, everything blew up. A famous TikToker. had traveled to the village to do like a. collab of sorts with the father of eight. children. He wanted to show his. followers how, you know, Mr. D was. living and how they could help. And as he's browsing around the home, taking some time to think about how to. best film this type of video, he saw. this little shed in the corner. And is it like a very small shed that. even upon his arrival he had seen it, and in his head he's thinking, "That's. probably like a doghouse, right?".

But there there was a small door, and it. wasn't boarded up. There was no chains. around the door. There was no like crazy. padlock. And inside he sees like a tiny pale. person peeking out. and like staring at him. So, he's like, "Okay, I'm going to go in there because. that's really weird. Is that like. another child? Maybe that's like the. brother. I want to meet this person.". He goes into the shed, and he sees that. there is a woman in there that looks. hungry, malnourished. There was evidence. of torture. She was chained to the wall.

through her neck, like a dog collar, and. it was chained to the wall. She scurried back when he saw her, and. this is where it just starts really. getting crazy, okay? He runs into the. shed, and he's filming the situation. Inside the shed, there's a woman and a. tiny mattress on the ground. That's. about it. The woman was in freezing cold. winter. She was barefoot, very thin. clothes on, and chained up. Even her.

food was given to her in like a dog. bowl. There was a food bowl that was. just kind of sitting on the ground, and. inside of it was just frozen congee, which congee is like rice boiled in. water. It's not very a nutritious. dense dish. There was a cold steamed bun. on top. The only warmth that she had was. like this moldy beat-up blanket, if you. could even call it a blanket. Honestly, I think it's too thin to even be called. a towel. Yeah, she was standing there, and. her eyes You can see it in the video. briefly. I don't know if that's how I.

would describe it, but people keep. saying they look glassed over. Like she. looks like she hasn't been herself in. years. You know, it looks like her soul. had been like ripped out of her. She. only had a couple teeth left, and even. when she tried to talk, she was slurring. her words.

She seemed too weak to even be fully. present. She seemed fully disoriented. She seemed incredibly timid. He asked.

her if she was cold and whether she. could understand him, and she shook her. head repeatedly. He was genuinely. shocked. He looked up at the camera, and. he said, "What has this woman gone. through in this cold weather? Where did. all the donations go?".

The video ended, and he posted it. online. And this is what blew the case.

up. I mean, the question remained and. lingered, and everyone that was watching. was, you know, "Who the hell is she? Where did she come from? Where Why is. she chained up? Where is her family? Why. did nobody care that there's a woman. chained up in the shed?" Like they. didn't try to hide her that well. So, are you telling me no neighbors knew? No. villagers came over and never. investigated the shed? So, these people they're blowing up the. netizens are blowing up the comments. like, "We got to do something." Which. like, yeah, we do. But the TikToker who. posted this original video, he made a.

response, and he was like, "You guys. don't have to call the police. I just. wanted everyone to care for the poor. family and urge the father to treat his. wife well with the help of the public. opinion." Wait, the TikToker who exposed. this story. Yeah. posted a story saying you guys. don't have to freak out anymore? Yeah, like we're handling it, and this is his. wife, and he's going to like treat her. well. And that's all I wanted. Meanwhile, the father of eight children. was still active, and he was responding. to all the questions and the backlash. Like, can you imagine that he's still. active on social media right now? And.

he's saying that, "Hey, guys, everyone, this is not like a kidnapped woman. My. wife was mentally unstable, and she was. pretty violent. So, to prevent her from. smashing things and hurting my elderly. mother or even the children, I chained. her up in an isolated room in the. house." Like a dog? Yeah. In the. freezing cold? This was his defense. This was his like, "Hey, guys, like don't be mad at me. because I have a good reason.". Okay. And then he said, "But But.

whenever she was not violent, I would. let her out.". That was his best argument. Wow. That was his defense. So, yeah, no. The public was like not satisfied. So, the video starts circulating everywhere, and the internet theories are going. crazy. Some speculate that she was human. trafficked rather than being a mentally. unstable wife and mother. Some thought. that she was an insane mother. And some. people were even commenting, "If she's. insane, then I'm worried that her kids. have mental illnesses that were passed. down.".

Some people commented, "I think that she. probably was good-looking and mentally. stable. But because she had been chained. and trafficked and probably assaulted, she gradually went insane. She can be. insane and still a victim. You guys know. that, right?" Another comment read, "She. doesn't look very old. Why did her teeth. all fall out?". Someone made a wild guess under that. comment and said, "Maybe she bit someone. to defend herself while they tried to. assaulting her, and they broke her teeth. off." Another theory Jeez. The woman was. probably abducted when she was like 12, 13 years old. I heard that Mr. D and his.

brothers and even his own father used to. use the chained woman, and nearby. villagers knew about it, but nobody. intervenes because all the villagers are. like animals. So, very quickly Mr. D goes from this. like loving father of eight children to. human trafficker overnight. Listen, no. angle of this is looking good for this. guy. Even if what he said is true, who. chains up their mentally ill wife? Like, who does that? People replayed the video. over and over and over again and tried. to decipher what she was saying. Because. remember, I said that she was slurring.

her words, she didn't seem fully there. Somewhere far away. It's impossible for me to leave. The world doesn't want me anymore. The world doesn't want me. And netizens all agreed that she was. saying these couple of phrases. Will.

they let me back? They would never let. me back. The world doesn't want me. The room is full of this. That's what they gathered and they. completely set this whole thing on fire. Everyone was outraged, like rightfully. so, and they started a nationwide. campaign for justice, for answers. And. finally, someone other than TikTokers. responded to the backlash. The county, the county that the village was in, announced that, "Hey guys, calm your tits. We are going to be.

interviewing the locals. We're going to. do like an investigation, okay? And. we're going to work with the local. medical institutions to get you some. answers.". And in their announcement, they told the. public, "There's no human trafficking in. this case, okay? Like, we know this. No. one's being human trafficked, y'all. You. guys need to calm down. These internet. theories are wild. This woman was not. abducted. And second, you know, she is. chained up because she's mentally ill. and she beats people. So, we're going to. handle this. Thank you for your concern, internet." Yeah, that went over really.

well. The internet was like, "Okay, that's a good day. Let's call it a. night, guys. Let's go on Twitter and do. something else." Yeah, no. What kind of. response was that? That only made. everyone feel. like something extra shady was going on. Are the authorities involved? Why are. the authorities on this random dude's. side when it's clear that he's chained. up a woman in his shed? Netizens wanted. to know, "Okay, if she's not abducted, whose daughter is. she? Like, we're not going to rest until.

her biological family, not her little. husband and his family, her biological. family come forward and tell us that she. was never taken and that she's fine. Second, just because you're mentally. ill, does that mean anyone can chain you. to a cold, shabby shed and force you to. give birth to eight children. back-to-back? How is that not a say?". The initial response only angered the. netizens more and it just added more. fuel to the fire. And finally, Fengxian County.

Fengxian County was forced to release a. second announcement stating that the. woman's name was Yang Qingxia. And they. said Miss Yang was a woman without a. home. She was begging for help when she. came across Mr. D's house and his family. let her stay with them. She was battling all sorts of mental. illnesses at the time, but the two fell. in love. So, Miss Yang and Mr. D fall in. love and decide to get married. So, yeah, that's what happened. So, there. should be paperwork, right? Of the. marriage certificate. Well, no, the.

authorities said don't even try looking. for it because Mr. D said that the staff. who did their marriage registration, they were negligent and they did not. identify Miss Yang's identity. So, it. was complicated, yeah. We don't really. have like an ID for her, like an actual. physical copy of the ID. But she's Miss Yang, we're pretty sure. Yeah, and and she's married and those. are her eight children. We did a DNA. test. We even gave government subsidies. to the family. They were like saying. this as a flex. They were like, "You know, we gave them $400 a month for.

eight kids." Don't even get me started. on that. Like, someone get the county a. PR team. They also mentioned that the. chained woman, allegedly Miss Yang, had. been sent to the hospital for. psychiatric treatment and they never. denied, confirmed, or even mentioned. human trafficking, assault, forced. birthing, abuse, none of that, again, in. their second report. So, yeah, their second report went over. just as well as the first one. The. netizens and journalists alike were so. fed up, they started traveling to the. village to demand answers.

What? Meanwhile, netizens were doing some. detective work because I mean, the. police aren't doing it, right? They. found a woman that had gone missing like. 26 years ago. Her name was Li Ying and. she was 12 when she went missing. She. had this very like sweet-looking face, very soft features, double eyelids, a. round face, a small mole in the corner. of her mouth. And the missing person's. report stated she went to school one day. and just never came home. Netizens did a. comparison of the facial proportions. So, they This is like I know it's kind.

of tricky to see if this is like viable, but usually the proportion of like your. chin to your lip to ratio, they say it. does get bigger as you age, but it stays. pretty consistent. Like, the gap between your nose and your. top lip, it stays pretty consistent. You. know, these types of proportions in your. face. And they put the missing person's. missing person's flyer picture as well. as the chained woman's picture that was. screen-grabbed from the video and they. looked kind of similar, I'm not going to. lie to you. So, like, "Okay, maybe this is the woman.

and it's not Miss Yang because nobody. believes the county with anything they. say. They don't even believe that this. is Miss Yang. Because if she's human. trafficked, do you think that they would. put her real name on the marriage. certificate? Get out of here. No, they. wouldn't." The chained woman was also. said to have a thick Sichuan accent and. the missing girl was from that region. So, now the authorities are getting even. more dragged because it looked like the. internet was doing more for this woman. than they were, which the internet was. So, they were forced to come out with a. third statement. They said, "Miss Yang.

has been identified.". And that's not her name. Sorry, guys. Sorry, sorry. Don't hate us, okay? They're saying the name that they gave. first time. Yeah. was not it. Yeah. What? Yeah, and they're like, "Not. my fault, not my fault, not my fault, guys. It was the the county registration. person's fault. It's not my fault. Her. real name is Xiao Huamei. We're going to. call her Mei and she's from the Yunnan. province. Now, both of her parents are dead and a. report claimed that a neighbor, on the. request of Mei's parents, went out to.

find Mei a good husband. You know, her. parents were worried because Mei wasn't. a good catch. She was battling some. mental illnesses, she had um slurred. speech. So, the neighbor and Mei went. out to search for a husband and in the. process they got separated, right? You. know how that happens. And the neighbor. never called the police to let them. know. Never let Mei's parents know, either. Just came back home and was like, "Yeah, she's married.". Mei's parents had no idea to whom, to. where, like nothing. And to show you a. map, to get from the province that Mei.

was originally from with the neighbor to. the place she was found, it was across. the country and China is a big country. Wow. The county also claimed that Mei. lost her teeth due to a genetic issue. and not abuse. And other than that, they. said that she was in a good mental and. physical state and like, "Guys, move on. Where are the Kardashians? Move. on, everyone. Nothing to see." They also. claimed that they did DNA testing and. all eight children were Mei's. And I.

still don't know what the county was. thinking. This was just not a great. announcement. And the public, they still. don't understand. "Okay, if this is. true, why did nobody care that Mei was. gone? And also, how did she get from the. other side of China to this village? And. you know what, here's a really good. question. Why the was she chained? Like, none of this answers why the. she was chained. None of it.". So, because she was missing, she can be. chained? Because she's mentally ill, she. can be chained? Like, what are you. saying? And mind you, up until this.

point, nothing was happening to Mr. D. He was a free man with no consequences. In fact, oddly during this time, um. a wedding company had asked him to be a. him to be a spokesperson. A wedding company. The public went. insane. They said, "How can a scum who. chains his wife up and treats her like a. birth-giving machine talk about happy. marriages? What on earth is going on. right now?" But back to the chained. woman, who is she? So, was she Li Ying, whose face matched up according to the. netizens, or was she Mei? You know, Li. Ying's uncle came forward to ask for a.

DNA test because based on the videos and. photos, he was sure that was his niece. who had been missing since she was 12. You know, the one that was walking home. from school. Again, this announcement. only made people question the county. more. Everything, everything that the. county said just felt so fishy at this. point. Even if they start telling the. truth, nobody would believe them. That's. how people felt. So, the county issued a. fourth statement February 10th of 2022. They said, "Hey everyone, calm down, okay? This woman is not Li Ying. Geez, this is Mei. We found Mei's half-sister.

We did a DNA test and it confirmed that. this woman is not Li Ying, but Mei, who. I mean, technically by all definitions. went missing, but it was just never. reported. And okay, fine. You know how. we said there was no human trafficking. involved? Maybe there was a little. We. don't know. We're going to We're going. to We're going to look into it, okay?". So, it just left a bad taste in. everyone's mouth because in the. beginning, the county was like, "Oh my. god, absolutely. You guys are. The county was literally gaslighting the. internet. Like, you guys are crazy. There's no human trafficking. What are. you talking about?" And now, now that.

people are getting upset and the the. anger, the outrage is not dying down, they're like, "We will um. Good point. We're going to look into it, you know?" But still, no answers. If. this is Mei and she did go missing. because her neighbor took her out of the. city or the village, who took her? Why. didn't the neighbor report her missing? Why didn't she call the police? What. happened from that day that she went. missing to all the way to today? Because. that's decades. And how come Mr. D is not arrested? Like, what has this woman gone through? Let the woman speak. It was so. frustrating that a few volunteers drove.

all the way to the village, tried to. break into the hospital that Mei, the. chained woman, was in, that was heavily. guarded, which by the way. And they. snuck in, tried to talk to Mei, but they. were kicked out and those volunteers. went missing for a week. They lost. contact with their friends, their. family, they stopped posting online, wouldn't talk to anyone. They went dark. for a week. They were arrested, right? Yeah. Wow. Which, of course, this incident. blew up even more. Two women try to save.

a woman and now these two women are in. jail with God knows what happening to. them. So, this incident blows up more. Meanwhile, other netizens are getting. riled up. The DNA results were never. posted and even May's sister said that. she had DNA taken from her and the. police told her that's her half-sister, but they never provided the actual. physical results. And everyone that knew. May said that when she was younger, "It. just doesn't make sense. Like, this. doesn't feel like it's May.". So, what if the county is just lying all. over again? The public was dead set that.

this was Li Ying and all the trust in. the local officials was out the window. and gone and nobody was trusting them. ever again. And then, scandal after. scandal and discrepancies and then. people started doing the math. They're. like, "Wait, if this is May and they. said that she went missing in this year. and she was this old, if you do the math. with all her children, that means that she had her first kid in. her 20s. and then she had back-to-back kids in. her 40s? That doesn't even make sense.". People are like, "I don't even understand.".

And she wasn't even going to the. hospital for the kids that she for seven. of her kids. So, she's in her 40s having. like a peak in fertility out of nowhere. and then giving birth in the shed? What's going on? So, from 42 years old. to about 50 years old, she gave birth to. seven kids? Like, none of this is making. sense. Are we sure that this is May? Like, people were just getting more and. more confused. And then, um. internationally, it became a whole. thing. So, this got so much attention.

nationally and it also happened to. coincide with um the Beijing Winter. Olympics. A lot of the big publications. internationally, I believe The New York. Times was one of them and they had. posted articles that were titled, and I. quote, "Who is the real China? Eileen Gu. or the chained woman?" And a quote. started circulating. "When no one is. paying attention to the chained woman, people could see her on the internet. But when the whole world is paying. attention to her, we can no longer see. her." A lot of allegations were that. China was censoring and suppressing the.

story, especially after um it went a. little bit more international. With. enough outrage, they kind of had to do. something. Even though they were. suppressing the story as much as they. think they could have, I think, okay, personally, allegedly, they were. suppressing the story, people were still. outraged. They were not getting over it. So, the the province came out. So, this. is basically like it going from a county. investigation to like a state. investigation. The province came out and. was like, "Hey, we're going to investigate. Don't worry. We got this. Trust us." The public was a. bit more optimistic that there would be.

results. And a week later, results came. out. A 6,000-word detailed report on. their investigation. So, finally, the. truth had come. The chained woman was. May from Yunnan. The DNA showed that the. woman was May and not Li Ying. And as. for the picture that showed that Li Ying. and the chained woman were similar in. appearance, apparently, it was edited before it was. posted. So, the viral picture that was. circulating with the proportion lines. and everything, that was kind of altered. a bit. So, it's it's a bit misleading.

So, what the hell happened to May? Her parents had gotten divorced. May. moved to a new city with just her mom. And at the age of 17, um everyone who. knew her said that, you know, she was a. very physically and mentally well young. girl. She gets married at 17. That marriage lasted about 2 years and. when she divorces and joins her mom. again, everyone is shocked. They're. like, "This is not the May that we. knew." She has slurred speech, she has. very um different behavioral. discrepancies. I mean, they believe that. she was suffering from.

if not one or many mental illnesses. So, a year later, a neighbor named Sang. took her to a neighboring village by. request of May's mom. May's like, "Listen, May needs a husband. She's. getting old, she's not a good catch. Take her to like one of the villages and. see if someone will marry her, you know? Please.". And the neighbor, Sang, was not just a. neighbor, they were a human trafficker. Wow. already done a prison stint for child. trafficking and that is how 21-year-old. May became a trafficking victim.

Sang sold May to a man in a local. village for $620. And after about 4 months, May ran away. and somehow she wandered around 400. miles away from where the first purchase. happened and a couple took her in. The. This is a restaurant owner. And for a. month, she was okay. She was eating, you. know, she was being housed, she was. helping out around the restaurant. And. then they decided to sell her to migrant. workers at a nearby construction site. Basically, she was sold again to. construction workers. And these.

construction workers were like, "Let's. take her to our hometown," which is the. village that Mr. D lived in. And they. were like, "We don't really want her. We. don't really need her. So, let's sell. her to someone in the village." They. sold her to Mr. D's dad when he was. still alive. So, May had been sold like. an animal three times. And finally, she was sold to Mr. D as. the wife. Now, on the registration forms, she was. forced to use a fake name so that nobody. knew who she was because, you know, it's. illegal to buy a wife. And from there, it just seemed like her life.

was pretty horrible. It wasn't as. horrible as being chained up because it. seems like she gave birth to her son in. a hospital and at that hospital, because. of China's one-child policy, they put an. IUD into her body, which means she can't. get pregnant again. It's like those. little copper things that they stick in. your cervix. And about 10 years later, the IUD was ineffective. So, we don't know when she started. getting chained up. It could have been. like a year after she gave birth to her. son, 6 months, it could have been like 5. years. But we know that she was chained for a. while. The IUD became ineffective and.

she was having this surge of. reproductive hormones. and she was getting assaulted. And she gave birth seven more times from. the time that she was 34 years old to. the time that she was 43 years old. The. longest gap between kids was 14 months, which is insane. Before she was chained up and if she had. not been found by a TikToker, she had no. idea how many more years or how much. longer she would even survive being. chained up.

Once the report was released, the. authorities confirmed that they did. arrest Mr. D for abuse as well as. several other county leaders who did the. investigation, they carried it out the. way they did, as well as people who were. willing to turn a blind eye on marriage. registrations. Like, these people that. worked in the marriage registration. office, they knew what was going on. They didn't ask her for her ID because. they knew that she was a purchased. woman. This case drew a lot of attention. to the fact that in these villages, just. all around the world, not just in China, it is still not uncommon to buy wives,

to buy human beings. And just in this. province, since 1986, close to 50,000. women have been sold and bought by. traffickers. And that's just the ones we. know of. Even villagers who knew said. that they weren't surprised. This isn't. something new or wild. They said, "In. villages, women are sold like pigs and. dogs because they save the village. Because what kind of woman wants to live. in a village and have a bunch of kids so. that they can work in the fields? No woman. But, Mr. D will probably get.

off light because in the criminal law of. China, it reads that the crime of buying. abducted women and children shall be. sentenced to a fixed term imprisonment. of not more than 3 years.". Are you freaking kidding me? Sometimes. it's jail, sometimes it's public. service. So, What? Yeah. In this like province area. So, I. mean, this is basically kidnapping. Yeah. And assault, sexual essay. It's kind of a loophole from what I read. and tell me if my research isn't correct. on this one cuz it was getting really.

complex cuz it's like the code of law. and it's constantly changing and also. translation. I did have professional. translators with help me on this one, but kidnapping a woman, you get a higher. sentence. But for some reason, when you. buy a kidnapped woman, like it's like a. different sentence. So, when you're the. kidnapper, you get a different sentence. What's worse, right? That's what I'm saying, but it's like. it's kind of a weird like a really weird. thing. I don't know why. A lot of people. in China are saying this is the case. that really showed the true colors that. a woman is still considered less than a.

panda and even two parrots. And to make. things worse, some netizens even took to. the internet to blame the chained woman. They said, "Now that the case is clear, did the public get what they want? Just. because of your so-called morality and. wokeness, the family is torn apart, the. children don't have a mother, and the. man doesn't have a wife, and the. children don't have a father. And you. know what? The most pitiful person is. the chained girl. If one of her eight. kids had been successful, she would have. been well taken care of for the rest of. her life." But that That hope, it's all.

gone now. Insinuating that since she's. been freed, she has no hope that one of. her kids will succeed and support her. later on. I can't believe this. Yeah. So, if that's true, okay, let's. just chain everyone back up. Another. person wrote, "Besides, no matter how. righteous the government is, family ties. are not as important anymore these days. There's already no love from the mother. and now the father is gone. What will the children feel?". Probably not good.

To that, someone responded, "Finally, someone with brain cells." They wrote, "The young children are innocent, but. the kidnapped mother is more innocent. To sympathize with her fist is to stab. the chained mother.". And that is the story. of the TikToker who chained a woman up. and almost got away with it. Wow, that is so dark. I don't even know how to like feel about. this case or how to dissect this case. because there's so many different weird. levels to this. And just I think definitely just the.

fact that it was happening during the. Beijing Winter Olympics, it just adds. such a. even more depressing like. Anytime when there's a crime happening, it feels like there's like 10 worlds. going on. Like how can all these things. happen in the same world? Just doesn't. make sense. I'm going to play you the video of this. woman's last words and I don't even. speak Chinese, but for some reason it. just like got to me. My fiance showed me. this. I had no idea what crime she. committed. I had no idea why she was.

about to die, but just watch.

So this clip goes viral and just to give. you some context, this woman right here. is a hospital worker that's about to be. executed and she was asked if she had. any last words. And she just responds. really emotionlessly. Like she's no.

longer even here on the planet. Like. she's accepted her fate. She just says, "I hope my parents are doing well. Like. I feel remorse for my parents. I feel. sorry to them.". And that was it. It's like the most. standard textbook type of response. But. the interviewer who worked for the news. station decided to push on, to press on. So she brings up this woman's boyfriend, the one that was about to be executed. for murder because they killed somebody. together. And the interviewer says, "I. know I probably shouldn't tell you this, but.

just, you know, cuz you're going to die. anyway, your boyfriend is no longer. being executed. His sentence was. commuted to life in prison.". And you just see this woman's face. She. starts crying. Like tears of joy, of. happiness. She's like nodding and crying. and it's oddly emotional and oddly. moving. She said, "At least one of us is. going to live and I'm not holding him. back anymore.". 30 minutes later, she was executed. And this huge clip almost became like a. morality debate for years to come. Like.

is this woman evil? Is she not evil? Did. she deserve this? I mean it seems like. she has a soul. She's like so excited. that her boyfriend's going to live. Is. her boyfriend evil? Did he manipulate. her? Did she manipulate him? So let's. answer all those freaking questions. because it gets wild. It all started at. the hospital. The freaking hospital. So. Dr. Fang is like a big name in the. hospital. I mean his name wasn't on the. building or anything like that, but he. ran the hospital technically. He was the. director of the hospital personnel. department. He was very well compensated.

for his position and he was able to. negotiate like a ton of benefits when he. took this job. So he's walking around. shoulders tall like he owns the goddamn. place. I mean he is he is an. accomplished guy. I will give him that. He grew up in China, graduates college. and he's like, "I'm going to go to the. United States." He goes, he starts going. through the ranks and he eventually ends. up at Columbia University to do. research, later goes to Harvard. University to study molecular biology. What does that even mean? Then he gets.

married to an ophthalmologist, right? And then the two of them just have kids. Listen, they're like winning the. American dream and then he gets a call. from his old college in China and. they're like, "We want you back. We want. to give you a prestigious directorial. position. Like we miss you. We heard. you've been doing great things in the. United States. Come back." So he. couldn't say no. His wife is confused. like, "What do you mean you can't say. no? Our kids want to be here. Our kids. are practically American, you know, their whole lives are here. My practice. is here. Do you not care that I'm a. freaking ophthalmologist? Like hello.

Like what do you mean you're not going. to say no?" And he ends up going. He's. like, "Yeah, whatever. I'm taking the. kids. I'm sure you'll find your way back. to China too because you just like need. us so much." And the wife was like, "Absolutely not." Uh needless to say, it. resulted in a pretty messy divorce, obviously. So Dr. Fang goes back to. China, gets into his little workplace. and he loves it. I mean immediately. everybody respects him. They all praise. him with these powerful words like, "Dr. Fang, you were born to be a leader.".

I don't know. Nowadays after all those. cult stories, I'm like anytime I hear. someone was born to be a leader, I'm. like, you got to run the other way. You. got to go as far away from that person. as possible because I don't think that's. a good thing anymore. They're like, "Dr. Fang, you are someone. I would blindly follow. You're just so. smart." I mean he was intelligent, he. was, you know, competent, he was. respectable. He was a natural leader, so. they say. It was normal to see nurses. and other doctors just excitedly. greeting Dr. Fang in the hallways, but.

there was always like this one one. employee that was a bit more lively, a. bit more cheerful than the rest. She. looked like she freaking loved her job, which is rare. And well, being head of. the personnel department, he was like, "I like that. I like that energy. I wish. everybody had that energy. That's how I. pump up the vibes in this hospital." So. when his 40th birthday came around, Dr. Fang's like, "I'm going to go out with. all my co-workers and we're going to get. drunk." He's like, "Hey, that random. girl that always greeted me so. excitedly, looked so happy to be at.

work, what's her name? Let's freaking. invite her to the party." So her name. was. Guo Shuang. I'm going to call her SG. because listen, I'm going to trigger. this guy with my pronunciations the. whole time. Time. So SG was 22 years old. She's just. trying the best that she could. I mean. who isn't at 22? Like who's just living. the best life? I mean that's what she. was doing. It's 2005. She graduates from. college. She studied medicine, but she. didn't go to med school. She studied. nursing, but she didn't go to nursing. school. So she was kind of stuck in the.

middle. Like I can't go be a nurse. I. can't really have these title jobs, but. I want to work in the hospital. So she. gets an opening at this very hospital. and her parents are retired at this. point. She's feeling the pressure. She's. like, "I got to provide for them. So. they're getting old." She's down to take. anything at this point. She sees this. position and it was it's kind of like a. position where you're just. administration, but not even really. You're an assistant to administration. You're doing some paperwork here and. there, but you're fetching coffees, you're cleaning up messes, literal.

messes. It wasn't prestigious. It wasn't. in the field that you wanted, but at. least it was in a hospital. So she was a. part-time worker, a temporary worker, which meant the pay was even less. She. had no benefits, no control over her. schedule. She didn't even know if she. was going to even work 20 hours that. week. She could have just been cut from. the schedule. But SG was the type that. felt like, "If I work hard, they're going to make me full-time." So. she puts up with all the horrible. treatment, all the being the end of the. group, having to fetch people's coffees, you know. And every single day she saw.

these superiors in the hallways, she. would just be so excited. Like, "Hello, Mr. Dr. Fang. Like happy to be at work.". So when Dr. Fang invites her to his 40th. birthday party, I mean she's freaking. over the moon. This meant her hard work. is finally paying off. She's going to go. and make this amazing impression on her. superiors and hopefully she would get. that full-time position, right? She. didn't know that Dr. Fang wasn't. thinking about a full-time position, but. rather a position for being his. girlfriend. So during his birthday. party, he just kept pushing more and. more drinks on SG. And I feel like it's.

similar to Korean culture, SG found it. really hard to turn down a superior's. drinks when he kept insisting that she. take another shot and another shot. And. she's with her work bosses. They're all. doctors. She felt safe. I mean think. about it. Even if she's drunk and she. tripped and fell, they knew what to do, right? They could clean her up. If she. had alcohol poisoning, they knew what to. do. I mean can you think of a place that. you would feel more safe drinking than. in a room full of doctors? But SG was still worried when she felt.

her vision started to blur and she's. like walking and tripping over the. stools and over the table edges. She's. like, "Okay, keep calm. Like it's okay. I got to put a good impression. I got to. walk straight.". But why did she feel so drowsy? So Dr. Fang couldn't take it anymore. He. laughs and he gets up and he's like, "All right, party's over, I guess. You. guys have fun on me. I'm going to take. the rookie SG home. Guess she's not used. to the way that we party as doctors, am. I right?" So everyone's waving. They're. not thinking anything of it. I mean this.

is a nice guy. Yeah, have fun. Like SG's. in good hands. SG thought so, too. She. just remembered being in his car and. then the next thing she remembered was. waking up in his bed. And immediately. she was crying. Immediately. There was. no like, "Oh my god, what happened?" She. knew what happened. Come on. So instead. of driving SG home, Dr. Fang thought, "Why not bring her to my house? She's. already losing consciousness. It'll be. so easy to rape her. And in the morning I can just tell her. that she came on to me." Like he knew. what he was doing was bad, but whatever, that's how the world worked. That's what.

he's thinking to himself. Besides, SG. would probably be so embarrassed that. she slept with her boss that she would. scurry out of his apartment. He had no. idea that SG would wake up bawling her. eyes out. That was not according to the. plan. I mean 23-year-old SG is laying in. that bed. Her life just feels like it's. been shattered to glass. Her hope in the. world was gone. Not only is she. traumatized, but this is like the worst. way to be traumatized. She's thinking, "If I can't even trust a respectable. man, my boss, who on this planet can I.

trust?" I mean she just had this image. of Dr. Fang as a mentor, a leader, someone who looked out for his. subordinates, but then that just. shattered like glass. It's like everyone. in the world is so full of deception and. nobody is good and you can't trust any. She was having like a quarter-life. crisis. She was genuinely having a. moment of like, what the She. thought rapists were people that looked. really gross and they come up to you and. they harass you and catcall you and they. like spike your drink. She never thought. it would be her respectable boss who.

studied at Columbia and Harvard and. everybody respected him. Dr. Fang was shocked, too. Not at. himself for being a disgusting, deplorable human being, but I guess he. really didn't think that SG would have. such a strong reaction to the assault. He thought that she would just blame. herself and push it under the rug, which. honestly is so sick when you think about. it. So, to try and diffuse the. situation, Dr. Fang offers SG a. compromise. He's like, she's too. emotional, she is unpredictable. I don't. know if she's going to go tell the cops, I don't know if she's going to go tell.

my bosses. So, to keep her quiet, he's. like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that. this happened to you. You know, violence. against women is never okay. I take it. very seriously. But how about I help you. out? I can try to make sure that you're. offered full-time the minute a position. opens up. As she left Dr. Fang's. apartment and she didn't agree, she. didn't say anything, she just like. literally left in tears. But when she gets home, you know, she's thinking about it. And this is the part that people really. come at SG for. They say, she must have. not hated the assault if she went back.

for more. But SG from that point decided to sleep. with Dr. Fang now. Psychologists say. there's like a ton of reasons that. victims will actually choose to sleep. with their assaulters after their. trauma. One of the main ones being, if I. choose it this time, then it feels like. the last time it happened, the actual. assault, wasn't assault, right? Like, it. makes me feel like I'm regaining the. power. And if I chose it this time, that. means I didn't actually experience this. intense. unconsensual thing last time, right? It's not that bad.

It's like a way for your brain to. protect yourself. Things like assault. are so nuanced, I feel like we're just. touching the surface. We have stories. where people victims fight the whole way. through and immediately go to the police. after, but in most cases, I think it's. because so many people know their. assaulter or their their lives are. connected with the rapist that it just. becomes so nuanced and complicated. If it's a boss, that could jeopardize. your career. If it's a schoolmate, that. could ruin your reputation, make you a. social outcast. If it's a family member, that can uproot the entire family.

ecosystem. I mean, we're just it's too complex, right? So, people seem to do things that. almost seem unfathomable to other. people, but. all I'm saying is, nobody really knows. what they would do in that situation. unless they've been in that situation. So, SG starts an intimate relationship. with Dr. Fang. And I think there was. another reason for it, too, other than. her trying to convince herself that she. had the power here. Psychologists agree. that this is very normal for victims who. are assaulted by people who have power. over them. So, Dr. Fang had offered SG a.

full-time position at work. And at first. she was disgusted and traumatized, but. maybe when she got home, she reasoned. with herself like, listen, this. terrible, horrible thing has happened to. you, but it's in the past. Like, you. can't even change it. What can you do? There's no way to go back and rewrite. history. You can't go to the cops, they're not going to believe you. You. can't go to your boss, he's your boss. You know, it's like his word against. yours. This is rape culture. So, so. yeah, you've been assaulted, humiliated,

and now you're unemployed if you do. something. Or maybe you would get. something out of it. Maybe you can win. something, right? Take advantage of the. situation. If you sleep with him, maybe. he will feel forced to give you a. full-time position. Yeah, it's like your brain trying to. Yeah. survive, basically. Yeah, and like try to like reason, okay, well, if I get something out of it, then. it's fine. But from the outside, what a. lot of people saw was, oh, this is a. girl who's like sleeping her way to the. top and she's mad that people found out. about it or that it stopped working. But.

before then, SG was promoted to a. full-time position. It's so frustrating. So, people were really coming at her for. the fact that she did get promoted to a. full-time position. Now, Dr. Fang being. the complete that he is, I don't. even know what to say. Like, he's a. freaking okay? He didn't even give. her the full benefits. He was like, oh, since you're. transferring like to part-time to. full-time, I'm just going to like give. you full-time, but usually all the. full-time people that were to hired, they got housing benefits, they got an.

allotment for housing, they got all of. these things, they got amazing different. health cares. She got nothing. She just. got a full-time position. And she was. just grateful to have 40 hours a week. where she was guaranteed to get paid as. long as she did her job well. So, now. with this full-time status, SG is. hopefully hoping that she can transfer. to a different hospital soon. One that's. connected to this one. She wanted to see. what Dr. Fang could do about it. This. would be the least that he could do. after traumatizing her for the rest of. her life, right? She just wanted a.

full-time job and to transfer so that. she didn't have to be around him. anymore. But Dr. Fang was getting. annoyed. She was asking for too much and. essentially, he slammed the door shut in. her face. So, as she tries to move on, she doesn't have to see him anymore. because he's upset with her for. demanding too much. For demanding too much, you know, they. would just nod at each other awkwardly. in the hallways and that was about it. So, all the while this is happening, she just blew it out. So, all the while.

this is happening, she goes out with her. cousin one night to blow out some steam. and they run into Zijang Wang, Wang. Zijang. And we're going to call him Z. So, they know each other's cousins. Anyway, he's like a nice guy. He's. freaking 18 years old and SG at this. point is 25 or something or 23. So, again, a little bit a little bit He's. very young. That's all I have to say, but it's fine. He's of age. They start. dating and and SG just felt like Z was. mature. He was someone that liked to. take care of others and take care of her. and he was listening to her. She felt.

secure enough that a month after dating, she just told him everything. This is. what happened at work. This is what Dr. Fang did to me. And then 2 weeks later, she brings him a pregnancy test. It was positive. She knew it wasn't Z's. The only person that it could be. possibly was Dr. Fang's. She goes to Dr. Fang and she tells him and without even. a moment's thought about it, about if. she wanted it or like how terminating a. pregnancy can be so traumatic for. patients, nothing. She had no power over.

her body. He dragged her to the hospital. and forced her to get an abortion right. then and there. And this was when all. hell broke loose. SG was a freaking. mess. Like, I think all of that trauma. was behind this like powerful wall and. she was trying to hold on tight and then. eventually this This is the straw that. broke the camel's back. So, she's. telling Z about everything that's going. on and like he's listening intently. You. could see his ears are turning red. Like, he's angry. I mean, who wouldn't. be? Like, what kind of boyfriend.

wouldn't be? He felt genuine, pure. hatred for the first time in his life. That's how he describes it. Like, genuine hatred. And that is how. the whole tragic story began. Both of. them say that it was they that brought. up the whole idea of killing Dr. Fang. SG said, it was me. I hated Dr. Fang. I. wanted to get it, you know, revenge. I. wanted to ruin him or at least make sure. that he could never assault someone. again. If you know what I mean, I wanted. to castrate him. Does that make sense? I.

told Z what I thought about it and he. asked if this was the only way that I. could move on and to heal and to be a. whole person again. And I said, yeah. That is. That's the only way. And I want. you to help me. She claims that Z. thought about it for a while and finally. he agreed and they started planning. Meanwhile, Z said, we both felt like Dr. Fang needed to die in order to like let. this darkness get out of SG's mind. I. mean, she needed this. She wanted to. kill him. So, together we started. planning. So, even now it feels like Z.

is like kind of covering for her. Now, I. mean, regardless of who started the. planning, it was in motion and there was. no stopping it. 23-year-old SG and. 18-year-old Z went out together to buy a. large hammer and some surgical blades. They genuinely wanted to castrate this. guy. They didn't want to kill him, they. just wanted to take his little thing off. so that he could never hurt another. woman again. September 30th, 2006 at. 4:00 p.m. after work, SG tells Dr. Fang. that she needs to show him something and. it's very important that she had to.

drive him there and show him it. I don't. think that Dr. Fang wanted to go, but I. think that he was curious because what. if he didn't go, she would go to the. police. What if she was unstable? What. if she was showing him like a shrine? What if she was showing him, you know, evidence that she had of the assault? So, he hopped into her car. He's like, uh. Who's the guy in the back? Oh, don't. worry about him, that's my little. brother. Okay. Okay, that's weird. And the three. silently head off in the car that SG is.

driving with Dr. Fang in the passenger. seat and Z in the back just sitting. quietly. He's not even talking. But. then, slowly, as they're getting out of. the city and you see less buildings, less people walking around, less cars on. the road and you see wooded areas and. fields and nobody for miles, Dr. Fang. starts to get nervous. Uh where where. are we going? And Z said he talked. first. He said, Dr. Fang, I know what. you did and we want to make something. clear to you. We're giving you a chance. right now that you're going to make SG a. formal employee with full benefits.

within 3 business days and let her. transfer another hospital with housing. accommodations and everything. And if. you do that within the next 3 business. days, we're not going to hurt you. So, yeah, consider this a threat. I can't do. that. Even if I genuinely wanted to, I. don't have the authority to do something. like that. Okay, then I guess it's too. late. And in the backseat, Z takes out. the surgical blade and slices Dr. Fang's. neck from behind. And Dr. Fang puts his. hand to cover his neck. It's now. literally spurting with blood. They said.

that the blood was getting on the. windshield, all over the dash. I don't. know what he cut, but it it was a vein. And Z used this opportunity to grab his. wrist, Dr. Fang's wrist, and slash it. And Dr. Fang starts screaming, "Oh my. god! Oh my god! You slashed my aorta. I. need to stop the bleeding quick." And he. successfully is like reaching for. everything. He's like trying to hold on. to his wrist and his neck. He opens the. door, and in this chaos, he jumps out of. the car into the field nearby. So, Dr. Fang is literally squirting blood, just.

running through this field now. He tries. to get a few cars to stop and help him, but nobody did. They're like, "This. feels like straight out of a horror. movie." Z runs out of the car, chases. him down, and uses the hammer to beat up. Dr. Fang's head, like literally bashing. his head in. And when he was confident. that Dr. Fang was not going to be able. to get up and get help or survive any of. this, he walked back to SJ's car, where. she was waiting, and they just left. They just drove off with Dr. Fang in the. field to die. They said that they drove. in silence, and the smell of the blood.

was making both of them so nauseous. It. just was like that rusty smell, almost. metallic. They drove to an abandoned. roadside, lit the bloody car, literally. the bloody car, on fire, and just walked. off. They had no plans, no thoughts, just. each other, and homicidal vibes, honestly. They walked back to the city. They were arrested within a few days. I. mean, a lot of the hospital staff knew. that SJ and Dr. Fang were having an. affair, so it's pretty easy to consider. them suspects and connect the dots.

Neither of them tried to hide anything. They just immediately confessed. And on August 17th, 2007, both of them. were sentenced to death. So, it seems. like the story is over, right? I mean, kind of, but the internet picked up this. case and ran with it. I mean, there was. kind of this clear divide in the middle. Half of the people were saying things. like, "Evidence? What evidence? I didn't. see anything. All I see is one less. rapist gone in this world. Who's crying. about that? I'm not crying, are you? Killing for love after someone raped.

your partner is hardly a crime to be. executed for.". They said, "They should execute rapists. with this level of passion.". Some people said, and these are all. quotes and translated, "The one who. should die is dead. It's the rapist. Why should we lose more. people in this world? If he hadn't raped. her, she wouldn't have lost her mind and. killed him. I don't see the problem. here. Listen, the killers were too. young, too traumatized to know better. But guess who wasn't too young and too. traumatized? The doctor who raped her?". Some people were kind of in the middle,

like, "You know, she did commit a crime. They do need to get punished. They do. need to get consequences, but. considering the fact that she was raped. by this man, I don't think the death penalty, it's. it's a bit too harsh.". And then you had the other side of. people who were very much victim. blaming, saying things like, "Well, she. kept sleeping with him, then is she. truly traumatized for being raped? Maybe. she wasn't even raped. Maybe she was. just upset that people found out that. she was sleeping for a full-time. position. I think that she did this for. greed. She just wanted to get promoted.

and promoted without putting in the. work, and then when he stopped promoting. her and sending her everywhere she. wanted, she killed him. You know, the. young boy was dragged into all of this. by the black widow. She's pathetic, hateful, manipulative. I mean, she tried. to sleep her way to the top, and it. backfired. So, she gets her boyfriend. and ruins this guy's life by convincing. him to kill. Okay, side note, that. comment is so telling because nowhere in. that sentence is there any. responsibility put on the men in this. case, the 18-year-old that physically. killed someone, nor the 40-year-old that.

raped, abused his power, and then. threatened a woman. Like, none of that. at all? Like, how? So, they kept going. I mean, how does a. 23-year-old find a find a teenager. attractive? It means that she was. looking for someone young and. impressionable that she could control. She was looking for someone to help her. kill. She was using her sex appeal to. get to this 18-year-old. She wasn't. satisfied until Dr. Fang was dead. Besides, there's no proof of the rape. anyway. I mean, it caused up such a stir.

that Z's appeal was taken up by the. Supreme Court, and in the last minute. before both of them were scheduled for. their death sentences, Z's death. sentence was commuted to life in prison. And that was the moment that we saw. earlier. So, those crying of tears of. joy and saying, "At least I don't have. to drag him down anymore. I'm so happy. he gets to live." She was just so happy. at the end.

I mean, to me, when I saw that, I've. just personally never saw someone's.

last words, you know, right before an. execution. Yes, I've never seen a. state criminal execution's last words be. that emotionally charged. Usually, you. have the serial killers who are sick and. twisted till the end that are like, "I. ain't got nothing to say, but I love my. mom." Or you have the ones that are. like, "I feel bad for what I did. I. found God, love Jesus, bye." And the. fact that her just the the her emotional. switch went from cold, no emotion, to.

all of a sudden overflowing of emotion. Like, a lot of people, I think they were. also saying like, "The love they have, is that. is it because she really, really loves. him?" Some people say that the feeling. is that maybe she actually she did. convince him to kill. So, now she feels. like, "At least I don't have to" Does. that make sense? Like, "I'm I'm the only. one that have to, you know, bear the. death penalty for this." It's just so. sad. I mean, okay, do I think that what. they did was wrong and twisted? Yeah, I.

do. Would it have been better if they. castrated Dr. Fang? Probably, yeah, cuz he's dead now, and. he has kids, and it's just all around. don't kill people. But I think it's also. telling that they're so young, and they. truly felt like they had no other way. Like, the fact that she was traumatized. and raped, and then they feel like they. have no other way, and they're backed. into a corner, and the only way to. escape this trauma is to kill him, that. says a lot about society and the justice. system. Because if she had an outlet to.

just punish him, he gets fired from his job. He is no. longer her boss. She gets some sort of. support. Like, I think she would have. been fine. Yeah, I saw some comment also. said that if this case happened today, like 2022, uh she probably wouldn't have. to been. penalty. Yeah. She probably would have gotten. life in prison, but. Probably, but it's probably not going to. get, you know, executed, so. And that is. the story of what happened. to just the most intense last words I've. ever heard.

What do you guys think of it? Do you. feel like she has some sort of remorse. in her? Do you feel like she has a soul? I mean, she was so emotional about her. boyfriend not being executed. Do you. think it's real love? Do you think it. was a trauma bond? Do you think she. manipulated him and then felt remorse. afterwards? I don't know. Let me know in. the comments.
