Wei Wenhua was an ordinary Chinese citizen from a central Chinese province-Hubei.
Last week he noticed a confrontation between city inspectors and villagers over the dumping waste near their homes.He took out his cell phone to record the confrontation in order to publish in his blog.All 50 municipal inspectors jumped on him and in five short minutes Wei was beaten to death on the site.
How could it happen?
When I discussed this saddening incident with my Chinese friend Chang he claimed that such assaults on citizens are no surprise.It happened just because the inspectors could.
I mourn the death of my fellow blogger and my colleague.
I wish we all should yell out the name of Wei Wenhua on the colourful eve of Olympic in China.
