Boxun report: 20-year-old Zhu Ziheng of Hulu Pool Village, Changtan Township, Pingle County, Guilin City, Guangxi Province was enrolled in Guilin Mountains and Water Vocational School.

On the afternoon of Saturday, May 16, 2015, Zhu Ziheng got on a commuter bus but had forgotten to bring money for the fare. The driver took him to the local police station. That afternoon he was brought back to school by the police. His classmates said he ate a meal and started vomiting. The chest of his clothes had footprints on it, suggesting he’d been beaten at the police station.

On Sunday, May 17 a little past 5 a.m., his family received a call saying that their son had been taken to the hospital. In less than two hours his parents arrived at the school, but their son’s body had already been sent to be cremated. By the time Boxun reported this on Friday, May 22, 2015, his family still hadn’t seen their son’s body.

Boxun’s correspondent interviewed informed sources by telephone. After the incident at the school all the students and teachers left. Only a few administrators stayed behind. But they did not give the family useful answers. They only said that their son had jumped to his death. The school authorities didn’t mention anything about the police station.

The family has been continuing to protest in the rain in front of the school every day. Police have not interfered with the protest. According to reports, the school and family are discussing compensation, but the child’s cause of death is still a mystery.
