China's Great Wall of Silence: The Murder of Bian Zhongyun



Don’t look away Liu Tingting. There she is, in the second row, Bian, your vice-principal, who you beat on August 5. Let this picture burn itself into your conscience, if you have one. 


Song Binbin, aka Song Yaowu, aka Yan Song you can look because you are so deep in denial nothing about this affects you. You could frame this picture and put it on your mantle in Concord or Beijing and be perfectly at peace with yourself.


Look, Carma Hinton and then try to convince yourself that your film was a truth-seeking documentary, because it convinces no one else.


And look Weili Ye. Look at your “Aunt Bian.” I know more about you because of our correspondence. You still have some remnant of a soul, Weili. You are haunted by Bian’s murder. But Red Guard amorality is the bigger part of you. You will go to Cape Cod again this summer and for a few more after that but you will die a conflicted, tortured soul while Song, your ward, will die in blissful denial.
This is Public Occurrences.
