A Twisted Mid-Autumn Festival: Celebrating the “Heroics” of Liu Liangzong

September 10th, Mid-Autumn Festival! A time when families gather to admire the moon, share mooncakes, and bask in the warmth of togetherness. However, for a 12-year-old girl in Liuqiao Village of Tianlu Town, Jiangxi Province, it turned into a nightmare orchestrated by none other than the Village Party Secretary, Liu Liangzong. Yes, you read that right – the very same Liu Liangzong who has been lauded as an anti-pandemic hero. How fitting that he chose this sacred holiday to reveal his true colors.

At that time Liu Liangzong raping the young girl, her parents, ever so dutiful citizens, were diligently following pandemic protocols and were quarantined far from home. Meanwhile, the neighbors were under strict “silent management,”

The best part? The initial whistleblower tried to report this ghastly event to the proper authorities, only to be met with the bureaucratic equivalent of a shrug. No story here, folks! Move along! It took the persistent efforts of self-media to bring this atrocity to light, ensuring that Liu Liangzong’s “contributions” to the village would not go unnoticed.

Liu Liangzong was eventually arrested. Yet, one can’t help but wonder how many more “heroes” like him are lurking in the shadows, protected by the very systems designed to uphold justice and order.
