At 3:30 PM yesterday afternoon, outside Room 410 of the General Surgery Department at Fangcheng People's Hospital, there was a highly guarded scene. The ward door was tightly closed; through the glass, one could see a man sitting with his back to the door, completely blocking the entrance. Upon hearing someone knock, the man stood up, turned around, and after scrutinizing the reporter for a few moments, hesitantly opened the door.
On the bed lay a middle-aged man receiving an IV drip, flanked by two men who were persuading him to continue with his treatment. When they weren't paying attention, the patient twice reached out and pulled the IV line off. A woman stood at the foot of the bed, her face filled with sorrow. Another man paced back and forth in the room, eyeing the reporter as an uninvited guest.
The patient list clearly showed the name of the patient: Wang Junsheng. Just on the evening of the 22nd, this name had caused quite a stir online. At 6:13 PM that day, netizen "Yang Tong" revealed on Weibo that police officer Wang Junsheng from Fangcheng had committed suicide by cutting open his abdomen at the county prosecutor's office. The Weibo post claimed that Wang Junsheng had previously reported under his real name about the embezzlement by the village officials of Houlin Village in Erlangmiao Township. After the prosecutor's office intervened, the village official went unpunished, prompting the policeman to run to the prosecutor's building, where he stabbed himself in the abdomen.
When strangers entered, a man who was comforting Wang Junsheng looked up: "Who are you?" "I'm a reporter..." "Please go out, he needs rest." After finishing his sentence, the man approached, grabbed the reporter's clothes, and together with another man attempted to push the reporter out of the ward.
At this moment, Wang Junsheng, lying on the bed, moved slightly and said to the two men: "He is my cousin. If you drive him out, I will stop my treatment."
Seeing Wang Junsheng's strong reaction, the two men finally stopped and allowed the reporter to stay and conduct an interview.
