On the morning on Jan. 8 nearly two thousand veterans attempted to force their way into the Shaanxi Province government building. They demanded to see Governor Yuan Chunqing, seeking to resolve their problems with medical care and housing.
The authorities mobilized armed police and public security forces to stop them. Many people were injured, and a 67-year-old veteran died, according to an official report.
During the stand-off, many fell injured. The authorities sent in an ambulance to take them to a hospital. The entrance of the government building was only half open, allowing exit only. The majority of the protestors did not get into the building.
