Recently, graffiti calling the communist authorities gangsters and animals has turned up in Shanghai.
The slogans are the work of Zhang Junwei, who has been a petitioner for the past five years without any results. According to Zhang, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has robbed him of his house, employment, and benefits.
Land Confiscation
Because of booming real estate development in China, there have been many cases of local authorities forcibly taking away land from people in recent years.
After his house was demolished and he was removed from work without reason, Zhang began to fight for his rights. After the authorities rejected his appeals numerous times, he changed his strategy and began painting slogans on walls in the community to expose the regime’s wrongdoings.
Zhang’s wife has been ill for the past several years. The doctors refused to see her because the couple couldn’t afford the medical expenses. She is now blind as a result of the lack of treatment.
