Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)
On the way I said to Xi Si, “I hate Cock. He
abuses his power and does as he pleases. He should
be punished. But, he didn’t break the law. Our
constitution expressly stipulates that every citizen
has the right to enjoy himself or herself. I don’t think
the leader group of our school and the security
department have any right to detain and question
Cock and this woman.”
“This is a proletarian dictatorship! The
constitution means nothing to the Chinese people.”
Later I was told that Cock had stubbornly
refused to admit what he had done. Soon he was
transferred back to the army and demobilized back to
his village.
