Now that you have read the official release, you have to wonder what really happened on December 30, 2006? What exactly made so many people go into the streets? Well, you will have to go to the blogs and forums (to be more precise, to the Baidu and Google caches of the revelant blogs and forums).

First, here is a photo of the burning hotel. Does this seem to have been "quickly put out"?



Now for some forum/blog posts at the CYOL BBS. Please remember: the information has not been verified and they are in conflict with each other in certain details. But you can see plausibly why such details were not disclosed in the official version.

At the Nest Business Hotel at Xinhua Plaza. Zhuyang town, Dazhu county, Sichuan province, three young girls have died even though it had opened less than six months ago. The third one died on December 31, 2006. She was the 16-year-old only daughter who worked as a KTV hostess! She died sometime after 9pm and her body was discovered by the service workers the next morning when they cleaned the place up. At the time, the service workers were shocked because of the horrible death scene -- several of her teeth were knocked out; there were three black bruise marks caused by fingers on her neck; her vagina was bleeding; there were many needle holes on her body. The service workers took her to the county hospital. The county hospital was then sealed off and some of her body organs were sent to Chengdu for analysis ... as of now, the hotel has not yet provided a definitive answer. They even dared to suggest that she died from alcohol poisoning.

As of January 12, 2007, the family of the deceased demanded an explanation from the hotel while spectators watched. During that period, an old man listened to the story and said some fair words in public. He was assaulted by the police ... By January 15, several thousand people showed up to watch. So a car full of police officers was sent there to "maintain" order. The hotel did not want any more trouble and offered 500,000 RMB for a private settlement. The family was unwilling. The hotel saw the gathering masses and quickly posted a notice to the effect that the deceased is unconnected to the hotel (Unconnected? She died while on work duty at your hotel. She was murdered there and it is unrelated to you? What sort of environment is your hotel? The two girls who died previously had their cases settled for 40,000 people -- they were reportedly from the outside). When the family of the deceased wanted to go up and rip off that lawless and shameless notice, the security guards attacked them!!! Their daughter wass dead and they wanted an explanation, but they ended up being beaten!!! Anyone with a conscience who sees this will be angry. So the masses knocked over the hotel flower bases and started yelling ...

The incident occurred when some coal mine owners invited government officials to the KTV. Then these drunken rotten officials raped and killed the KTV hostess at around 9pm. The killing was also very perverted and sadistic! Just think! If the hotel wanted to continue to operate, it couldn't say who did it. Some service workers knew about this, but the hotel has made them inaccessible. This hotel was operating illegally. It was able to conduct business without passing fire inspection. Obviously, the government was behind them.

This is risible! It was reported that at the special meeting of cadres held by the county party and government, the county party secretary Wang Wei faced more than 100 county officials and then said that the death of Yang Daili was as important as a fart! So the death of a service worker is a fart of a matter? The life of a commoner is a fart of a matter? This is so sad that the people of Dazhu county should have such a county leader of such quality! Does this sound like what our leader should be? What if it was Wang Wei's daughter who had died? Then maybe he would be enraged and start to curse!!!

Today, the angry masses spontaneously gathered together to demand the murderers be found. But the government brought out large numbers of anti-riot police and assaulted the unarmed students, causing many serious injuries ...

The incident occurred on December 30, 2006. At the Xinhua Plaza in small Dazhu county, there is a totally incongruous Nest Business Hotel. Since the government has share ownership, it is especially impressive looking! A 16-year-old girl named Yang Li worked at the hotel. She was a student working as a hostess during vacation, because she is pretty and tall (1.7 meters)! On that night, three senior officials at the hotel asked her to keep them company. They spiked her drink and they raped her. When the service workers opened the door to the KTV suite the next morning, they discovered Yang Li drenched in blood with strangulation marks on her neck. Her vagina was ripped! Her colleagues carried her to the Dazhu People's Hospital where the doctor pronounced her dead. The hotel wanted to conceal the truth and put needlemarks on her arm to say that she had died from a drug overdose! Her parents wanted an explanation from the hotel, but the security guards prevented them from entering. An old man came out to say some fair words, and the security guards assaulted him. When the fellow students of the girl found out, they came to the hotel to demand justice. But the hotel had government backing, so the students were dispersed by high-pressure water hoses!

Dazhu county party secretary Wang Wei made some speeches at meetings in which he said that the death of a service worker is as important as a fart! Do these officials think that the lives of common people are worthless!?

For almost a week, more and more facts were being revealed and the number of people in the spontaneously organizing masses outside the hotel run into several thousand. People were angry. The hotel negotiated with the family and offered 500,000 RMB to settle the matter. But yesterday, the anger of the masses went into flames!

On the evening of January 17, 2007, there were 10,000 people assembled outside the hotel. The fellow students of the girl charged into the hotel to pour gasoline and set fire -- the people were pleased! When the hotel sent for the fire fighters, the extremely angry crowd resolutely refused to let the fire trucks go through. One fire truck was vandalized! Thus, a four-star hotel worth several tens of millions of RMB was set ablaze by the raging fire of the masses. Seeing that the event was getting out of control, the Dazhu county government requested armed police and public security personnel from Dazhou, Guang'an and Quxian to a total of 5,000 persons! The public security personnel even assaulted the students ...

Thousands Riot, Burn Sichuan Hotel After Girl's Death. January 18, 2007.

Thousands of local residents have converged on a four-star hotel in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, setting fire to the building in protest at the death and alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl who worked there.

Mobile phone footage taken Wednesday (see above clip) outside the hotel in Dazhu township showed confused and raucous crowds in darkness in front of a burning building as crowds gathered outside. Witnesses said the crowd reached 20,000 at its peak late Wednesday.

“There are still around a few thousand people on the scene and they protested outside the hotel this afternoon,” a shop owner near the Nest Business Hotel in Daizhu told RFA’s Cantonese service.

Hotel worker Yang Daili, who some Internet accounts said was a karaoke hostess, was found dead in a hotel room on Dec. 30. Police enquiries initially yielded little evidence, and the hotel said she had died of an overdose.

But the girl’s friends and classmates pursued the matter and began a protest in the hotel, drawing public attention.

The riot was triggered, residents said, after the hotel posted a notice denying any involvement in the girl’s death. Protesters stormed the hotel and vandalized it, then set fire to it.

Police announced Thursday they had arrested two suspects in the case of the girl’s death. One was described in official media coverage as ’suspected rapist Liu Chikun’.

The report, by Sichuan Online and rebroadcast by Phoenix TV(ZH), said local leaders had ordered an investigation into possible business links between local police and the hotel.

An officer who answered the phone at the Dazhu police station declined to give further details.

“I have just com on duty and we haven’t got any updated information yet. How can I tell you the current situation outside?” he said.

Two Chinese-language forum posts translated into English by Hong Kong-based blogger Roland Soong said Yang was drugged and raped repeatedly by karaoke room clients until she died.

China sees thousands of “mass incidents” across the country every year.

While many are civil rights protests over land disputes, unpaid wages or environmental issues, spontaneous outbursts of anger and violence are occurring over numerous issues, including changes in business licensing regulations, perceived miscarriages of justice, or fraudulent advertising claims.

A 16-year-old girl in Dazhou city, Sichuan province was believed to have been gang-raped and murdered by three government officials in a hotel. Her tongue was bitten off and her breasts were cut out ... the family had asked for justice for almost half a month without success. Finally, the masses got angry. Beginning Monday (January 15), more than 10,000 local people gathered outside the hotel to demand the arrest of the perpetrators and clashed with the anti-riot and armed police. On the day before yesterday, the incident escalated into a disturbance. Several hundred angry people charged into the hotel, vandalized the place and set it on fire. It took five hours to put out the fire.

The incident took place at the four-star Nest Business Hotel in Dazhu county. The victim Yang Daili was a graduate from a junior high school. She is 1.7 meters tall and very pretty looking. Since last October, she became a hostess at the Slow Rock Bar at the hotel. According to reports, Yang complained to her grandmother last month that she disliked the hotel because the situation was too complicated. She wanted to collect this month's wages and then resign. But on the evening of December 29, she was asked by three government officials to keep them company. At around 2am on December 30, she was found unconscious in the suite room, with massive bleeding from her vagina.

According to information, Yang was believed to have been drugged and then gang-raped and tortured to death. "There were many needle marks on her body, several teeth were broken, her tongue was bitten off, her breasts were cut off, her vagina was ripped, etc." When she was brought to the Dazhu People's Hospital, she was pronounced dead. The local authorities said that she died from alcohol poisoning.

The Nest Business Hotel was built as a joint venture by a police station director and other local government officials with several tens of millions in investment. The hotel opened half a year ago. According to information, two other girls had died there already. The deceased all had needle marks on their arms, so that people have the impression that they died from drug overdose. Another security guard was also killed because he witnessed what the officials did. The series of evil deeds caused the local citizens to be dissatisfied with the government officials.

On Monday, several thousand people gathered outside the hotel in support of Yang's family members. The hotel did not want the incident to escalate and offered to settle privately for 500,000 RMB. The family refused. Meanwhile, the authorities sent anti-riot police to the scene and fired water cannons at the people. On the day before yesterday, more than 10,000 people assembled outside the hotel. At around 4pm, the hotel security guard began beating people and this caused the matter to escalate. Many students and several hundred citizens charged into the hotel, vandalized the place and someone set it on fire.

After the disturbance, Internet information has been locked down. The Sichuan websites are publishing the official announcement, which claimed that the mass incident is under control. It pointed out that the cause of the incident was the death of a hotel employee for unknown reasons and that the authorities have arrested Liu Chikun has been detained for suspicion of rape. Also the militia policeman Xu Daxiang has been placed under "double regulations" for suspicion of illegally partnering in the hotel business.

Yang Daili was from the Luojia village, Erlang town, Dazhu county, Sichuan province. She was 16 years old and began working after she graduated from junior high school. She began formally working at the Nest Business Hotel last December 1. "On December 20, she told her mother that she will resign as soon as she receives this month's wage. There was too many abnormal things going on in that hotel, including a lot of drug abuse," said her father Yang Wanguo. They did not kn
