Rural Chief in Jiangxi Province Killed While on Fieldwork, String of Cases of Communist Party Officials Being Killed Frequently Happening

In recent times, there has been a string of cases involving the killing of Chinese Communist Party officials, with at least seven such cases reported. One of the incidents that has drawn public attention occurred in Ji’an City, Jiangxi Province, where a township mayor was attacked and killed while on duty in the rural areas.

According to reports from Jimo News, on October 19th, the family of Kuang Haijuan, the township mayor of Shan Zhuang Township in Anfu County, Jiangxi Province, revealed that over a month ago, Kuang Haijuan was attacked with a knife while on duty in Xinbei Village in Shan Zhuang Township. Kuang was stabbed while trying to stop the assailant, leading to severe bleeding. Despite 8 days of medical efforts, he passed away in the hospital.

The family stated that Kuang’s body has been kept in the local funeral home for over a month and has not yet been buried.

On September 7th, Kuang Haijuan and other officials visited Xinbei Village to discuss rural construction projects. A villager suddenly attacked them with a prepared knife, prompting Kuang and others to use whatever tools they had on hand to try to stop the assailant.

The family shared, “Even though he used a mop, he was stabbed by the villager, leading to severe bleeding. By the time he was rushed to the hospital in Anfu County, he had no pulse, and despite being kept alive by machines and transferred to a hospital in Nanchang, he passed away on the afternoon of September 15th.”

The family also mentioned that the local government has not officially recognized Kuang Haijuan as a martyr, and therefore his body remains at the Anfu County funeral home without a proper burial.

On September 18th, the local police provided a detailed account of the incident to the family. The recording provided by the family showed the sequence of events leading to the attack. On that morning, a villager heard voices outside his house, went out to check, and found a marked cement platform in front of the gate. He saw a man and a woman on the scene and inquired about their presence. The man who didn’t understand the local dialect explained that they were from the town government for rural construction planning. Later that morning, the same villager came across the officials at a different cement platform in the village and the violent incident followed.

The news of such incidents has sparked heated discussions among netizens, with many expressing opinions on social media platforms. Some pondered the motives behind the killings, speculating on the complexities surrounding these tragic events.

The pattern of killings of Chinese Communist Party officials has been on the rise this year, with at least seven cases reported recently.

Just this Thursday (17th), a netizen from mainland China revealed that Miao, the Director of the Linqin Market Supervision Institute, was killed in the lobby of the municipal office in Shandong Province on July 18. Miao’s family informed the media that the suspect Wang was released from prison three months ago and had a financial dispute with Miao.

Back in August, the tragic death of Wang Jiajia, a first-grade judge in Luohe City, Henan Province, also captured widespread attention. Various analyses have explored the circumstances surrounding the incident, shedding light on the strategic collaboration between the judges and insurance companies.

On September 19th, Liu Wenjie, the Communist Party Secretary and Director of the Hunan Provincial Finance Department, was killed. The incident, in which two other men also died after falling from a building, caused quite a stir. A media personality formerly in the banking sector in mainland China and currently residing in Australia, Jiang Wang, disclosed to Dajiyuan the reasons behind Liu Wenjie’s fall and the financial disputes she had with the other deceased parties.

As such tragic events continue to unfold, it raises concerns about the security and safety of personnel, particularly officials, in rural areas.
