Favorable Treatment Certificate Cannot Stop Forced Demolition and Iron Window: The Bloody Case of Qiu Xiaolin, a Retired Soldier in Chongqing

Favorable Treatment Certificate Cannot Stop Forced Demolition and Iron Window: The Bloody Case of Qiu Xiaolin, a Retired Soldier in Chongqing

In 2017, an illegal forced demolition occurred on Zhongjie Street, Shiqiaopu, Chongqing. Retired soldier Qiu Xiaolin faced plainclothes police who did not show their credentials and broke into his home. He used a fire extinguisher to block them but was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for obstructing official business. His house was demolished, and he has not received any compensation to this day. This case exposes the abuse of power and procedural irregularities, reflecting the tragic fate of retired soldiers whose rights are brutally trampled.

Time goes back to June 9, 2017, when the surveillance camera at No. 202, Zhongjie Street, Shiqiaopu, Chongqing, calmly and coldly recorded an absurd and brutal reality. Several men in plain clothes, without any police uniforms or identification, broke into a private residence without showing any police certificates or legal documents, relying solely on verbal commands.

Facing this sudden and illegal invasion, Qiu Xiaolin, a retired soldier who had served for two years and one month, chose to use a fire extinguisher to block the door in desperation. However, this conflict, which should have been defined as "illegal invasion" and "illegal demolition," was completely reversed by the power of the authorities. Qiu Xiaolin was not only sentenced to two years and six months in prison for "obstructing official business" and "picking quarrels and provoking trouble online," but his residence was also forcibly demolished on the same day he was arrested, and he has not received any reasonable compensation to this day.

When the retirement certificate, which once symbolized national honor and care, became worthless in the face of cold bulldozers and the iron fist of power, Qiu Xiaolin's experience completely tore off the mask of the Communist Party's hypocrisy towards retired soldiers, revealing the truth of "using them as cannon fodder when needed and abandoning them when they are no longer needed."

On-site footage: Violent breaking and entering without procedure and the desperate self-defense of the old soldier

According to the surveillance video and on-site footage, on the morning of June 9, 2017, the atmosphere around No. 202, Zhongjie Street, Shiqiaopu, Chongqing, was eerie. Many police officers and personnel from the Chongqing Public Security Bureau and the Fuling District Public Security Bureau gathered in the area.

In a modern society governed by law, when people's police enforce search, summons, and other coercive measures, they must strictly show their work certificates and legal documents. However, the law enforcement personnel in the video completely ignored procedural justice:

* Concealment of identity and lack of documents: The core personnel on site did not wear police uniforms, did not wear any law enforcement recorders or police numbers, and refused to show their police certificates and search warrants.

* Verbal commands replaced legal procedures: Without any formal documents or court orders, the police relied solely on the rough shouts of a plainclothes man outside the door to violently break into the private residence.

As a retired soldier who had served for two years, Qiu Xiaolin instinctively realized that his personal safety and private property were facing serious and illegal infringement when he faced the sudden and violent demolition. After repeated negotiations were unsuccessful and the other party forcibly broke into his home, he was forced to use a fire extinguisher as a last resort to defend himself.

However, the flames and smoke in the surveillance footage not only failed to stop the illegal invasion but also became the "iron evidence" for the authorities to take revenge on Qiu Xiaolin later. From the moment the law enforcement personnel launched their illegal attack, a premeditated judicial killing began to unfold. It was later learned that the reason given by the police for breaking into the house was the absurd claim of "searching for the property of a person who was no longer living in the house." This excuse was merely a pretext for the forced demolition.

Interest struggle: Malicious undervaluation and black curtain of forced demolition and plunder

The outbreak of the Qiu Xiaolin case was not accidental; it was a result of a complex interest struggle with the name of urban construction and house expropriation.

The house involved, located at No. 202, Zhongjie Street, Shiqiaopu, was a commercial house (store) purchased by the owner, Liu Fuji, through a legal auction and held for a long time. The contract clearly stated that it was a commercial house. In a market economy, the commercial value and compensation standards of commercial houses are far higher than those of ordinary residences. However, when the house was included in the expropriation scope, the local expropriation department, in order to reduce costs and gain huge commercial development benefits, openly ignored the legal property nature and historical archives of the house and forcibly "downgraded" it to a residence for assessment and compensation.

This artificially created huge fact unclear and compensation gap made the owner, Liu Fuji, unable to accept it, and he refused to move out in accordance with the law and actively provided the court with evidence of the commercial nature of the house. Faced with legitimate rights protection and resistance, some local administrative powers did not choose to resolve the contradictions through consultation, administrative reconsideration, or legal channels, but instead chose the simple and crude method of "replacing law with power."

When administrative expropriation encountered resistance, administrative power seamlessly connected with the public security organs. The cross-regional mobilization of police forces from the Jiulongpo District and Fuling District formed a seemingly large but actually illegal joint action team, whose real purpose was not the so-called "case handling" or "search," but to clear the "nail households" within the expropriation red line through violent means.

More cruelly, on the same day Qiu Xiaolin was violently arrested and imprisoned, the house involved was forcibly demolished without any legal demolition ruling or property clearance procedures. A large amount of personal property and operating facilities were destroyed in the ruins. For many years, faced with the constant accusations and appeals of the victims' families, the relevant departments not only turned a deaf ear but also indefinitely suspended the house compensation.

Judicial alienation: From obstructing official business to picking quarrels and provoking trouble, a fabricated crime

If the illegal violent breaking and entering and barbaric forced demolition were an open robbery of private property, then the subsequent judicial trial was a second murder of fair justice.

In this case, the judicial organs completely became the appendages and tools of the Communist Party's power and revenge:

1. Reversal of cause and effect: It was clear that the law enforcement personnel were procedurally illegal and suspected of illegal entry, but the citizens' legitimate self-defense and desperate blocking when they suffered illegal infringement were rigidly packaged as "obstructing official business." The court completely avoided the serious illegal facts of the police not showing their certificates, not wearing police uniforms, and having no search warrants, mechanically applying the criminal law and sentencing Qiu Xiaolin to two years and six months in prison.

1. Overlapping crimes: In addition to the heavy sentence imposed on Qiu Xiaolin, the owner, Liu Fuji, who was not at the scene at the time of the incident and later learned about the police's illegal breaking and entering, rushed to the scene and posted condemnations online, also providing the court with evidence of the commercial nature of the house. Liu Fuji was also arrested by the police and similarly charged with "obstructing official business" and "picking quarrels and provoking trouble online," and was sentenced to five years and six months. This method of "multiple crimes" often seen in rights protection cases aims to thoroughly destroy the parties' will by increasing the sentence, labeling them as "thugs," and ultimately achieving the goals of silencing them, maintaining stability, and covering up the truth of illegal forced demolition.

In the eyes of the Communist Party's system, retired soldiers have never been citizens who need real care; they are just tools that can be "summoned at will and discarded at will." When they wear military uniforms, they are used as stability maintenance machines and cannon fodder; once they take off their uniforms and return to society, when their legitimate private property is brutally infringed upon by the power of the authorities, when they try to defend their survival bottom line, the Communist Party's judicial machine will ruthlessly and mercilessly suppress them as "stability maintenance targets."

Conclusion: When the favorable treatment certificate becomes an illusion, it reveals the tragic fate of retired soldiers under the Communist Party's system

In recent years, the Communist Party's official media have repeatedly boasted about implementing preferential policies for retired soldiers, but the experience of Qiu Xiaolin and the owner, Liu Fuji, has given the most ironic answer: in the face of the Communist Party's absolute and unsupervised dictatorial power, any form of "preferential treatment" is just an illusion on paper.

The reality under the Communist Party's rule is extremely cruel: it packages young people as cannon fodder with nationalism and false honor on the one hand, and on the other hand, it does not hesitate to wield the butcher's knife against these former soldiers and innocent private property holders when encountering conflicts of interest. From the procedurally illegal breaking and entering to the alienated criminal prosecution, the Qiu Xiaolin case and the Liu Fuji case have completely torn off the mask of the Communist Party's exploitation and oppression of retired soldiers and ordinary people. The abuse of power and procedural irregularities urgently need supervision. This bloody and tearful tragedy should thoroughly awaken people: under the Communist Party's system, if one does not thoroughly recognize its nature of treating the grassroots people as grass and abandoning the used cannon fodder, anyone cannot escape the fate of being arbitrarily swallowed by power.
