【Epoch Times December 30, 2024】A case involving a woman named Li Yixue from Nanchang, Jiangxi, who was diagnosed with a mental disorder, has become a hot topic on the internet at the end of 2024. Despite the widespread internet censorship by the authorities, the strong public opinion continues to rise. Even authoritative experts have pointed out that Beijing Anding Hospital made a diagnostic error, calling for relevant departments to intervene and save the woman. On the first day of 2025, many netizens continued to voice their support for Li Yixue on various platforms.
Rumors have been circulating online that Li Yixue underwent a frontal lobe resection surgery, causing concerns among many netizens that she may no longer be the same person as before. The official response to public doubts has not addressed these speculations directly. The question of whether Li Yixue actually underwent brain surgery remains a mystery from 2024.
Li Yixue faced persecution from authorities after exposing the dark side of psychiatric hospitals. Her case not only became a hot topic at the end of 2024 but also continued to receive support from many netizens on the first day of the new year in 2025. Despite “Li Yixue” and even the character “雪” (Xue) becoming banned terms on social media platforms, people engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the censors.
Some netizens expressed their opinions on platforms, with one post titled “Common People Have Something to Say!” presenting six points. One of the points emphasized that the people’s demands were simple, rooted in the desire for positive change and not conspiracy theories as suspected by some individuals with dark intentions.
Moreover, the post highlighted the flawed diagnosis process and the lack of proper procedures being followed before Li Yixue was admitted to the hospital for the first time, questioning the validity of subsequent diagnoses. The criticism extended to the issue of mental health laws and the necessity for a fair and impartial legal system that benefits every individual.
Several netizens used their own language to show support for Li Yixue, hoping to prolong her visibility on platforms.
A netizen from Sichuan wrote, “Snows, I want to meet you all. New Year’s Day is here, but there is no celebration yet because we are still suffering. Despite the laughter and luxuries around us, I am willing to venture into a world that needs balance. Even though it may seem like a futile effort, every life has value. In the near future, I hope to meet with friends full of righteousness from all corners of the country.”
Another netizen from Jiangsu expressed, “Just as she appeared in my life, sunlight shone through the cracks, and flowers blossomed in the wilderness. Every night I witness now has splendid stars, and every dawn is filled with light.”
In conclusion, he stated, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s cross over to Jiangxi for a New Year’s tour!”
Many netizens expressed various reasons for supporting and standing by Li Yixue. One viewpoint stressed the importance of not remaining silent or neutral in such situations to avoid complicity, emphasizing the collective strength to make a difference.
Among those supporting Li Yixue, Professor Yue Hongwen is regarded as one of the most authoritative figures. He criticized the erroneous diagnosis provided by Beijing Anding Hospital, stating that there is no diagnosis of compulsory personality disorders in mental health, emphasizing that the treatment received by Li Yixue was a violation of China’s mental health laws.
Yue argued that Li Yixue did not exhibit any personality disorders and should not have been forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital in Jiangxi. He called for a serious discussion and urged the medical authorities to rescue the young woman.
Furthermore, he challenged the authorities’ decision to send Li Yixue back to the psychiatric hospital, emphasizing that the diagnosis was mistaken and that it was a terrifying situation. He called for attention from relevant leaders to address the issue and rectify the injustice faced by Li Yixue.
Li Yixue’s case gained support from many justice lawyers, including “Fangjian Lawyer” from Nanjing, who tirelessly advocated for her rights even in the face of adversity.
Additionally, criminal defense lawyer Ceng Gang from Shenzhen expressed his support for Li Yixue, highlighting the lack of legal provisions that entail compulsory psychiatric evaluations for individuals within the community.
Other lawyers created videos to demonstrate their solidarity with Li Yixue, showcasing their determination to uphold justice in mainland China’s legal system.
Rumors have circulated online claiming that Li Yixue underwent a frontal lobe resection surgery. Despite these speculations and the alleged dissemination of her photos in medical settings, the official response has been limited to deleting negative information from Li Yixue on various platforms.
