Naked Schoolgirl Video, Punishment For Stealing

by on Monday, November 17, 2008 107 comments

Scenes from a video showing a young Chinese girl revealing her body to avoid being beaten by schoolmates angry over her thievery.

From Mop & NetEase (no longer accessible):

It has not been long since the Kaiping Incident happened, a friend of mine sent me a video, asking me to translate the dialogue inside. This video is about 9 minutes long, the schoolgirl in the video first being beaten by schoolmates, then forced to take off her clothes and filmed. What more, the reason this incident happened was all because this female student had altogether stolen things three-times from her fellow students, and those beating her and forcing her to take off her clothes are all her schoolmates, and further there are voices of many female classmate in [the video]. The several students using violence do not reveal their faces throughout the video. However, in their dialogue they disclosed that they will upload it onto the internet to let “Ma Le/Lei Lao” [unsure, maybe this is a Cantonese name] all see it. The girl says, “if I take off all my clothes, will you guys not hit me, and let me go…?”

I do not know what is wrong with these Guangdong children, and why do these horrific incidences happen so frequently? I do not want to excessively express my anger, I only want to expose/make public this incident. Everything I give to society and the law to deal with and punish

If you are a reporter/journalist, please provide me your true identification, I will send you the video. Moppers, please do not contact me, I do not want to spread the video out.

A screen capture of a video where a Cantonese girl in a school uniform is bent over after being beaten by her classmates for stealing.

Comments on Mop:

So cruel…

Today’s children~~all society’s fault!!!

What is wrong with these children? What is driving Guangdong’s developed economy?

Guangdong again!!!
Truly speechless yet again!!!

Guangdong people [Cantonese]…
What can I use to save you people…

A proverb says it well: Heaven is towards the left, Guangdong is towards the right.
This is what a Guangdong contract worker told me…

Normal, I work in Youku’s back office verification department, and I see these videos every day.
The country does not allow them to be disseminated, so they are all screened/censored.

I am not a reporter/journalist, but I like the vast masses want to see…

Do the people who want to watch the video still have integrity? I write this as someone who likes to watch AV and X-rated material.

This cannot be separated from society’s morals.
For example, our Comrade Lin.
Everything is violent.

Let me turn the page, very true, this is indeed today’s children. The larger the city, the worse it gets. Violence and sex, this is their lives after they become 16-years-old.

All the private areas were blurred/masked…
But LZ does not blur/mask the face.
Is this any different from uploading the video?
Kao,
other people also want face [care about dignity]!

You deserve it for stealing. We are beating you to teach you a lesson. Let us see if you steal again. [Not a good translation but something like this.]

I can only say that with regards to today’s girls, everyone has been deceived by external appearances. “The ‘badness’ of boys was taught by girls!” Something one of my old schoolmates used to often say…

Guangdong, that place, is a real fucking mess. Never go there. You may die and not know how you died.

    First, I never cease to be amazed by what awaits me after a week away…jeebus I have to give up all my other free time hobbies just to read you guys!

    Second, Kai, that story is disturbing. I think a video like that needs to be taken down more because of the fact that it actually depicts death, I think that crosses a line. Is it odd to say that? It feels odd to type it. By saying that it seems like I don’t really have a problem with the video of the girl being verbally, physically and emotionally abused and humiliated being shared on the net (mostly because I can agree that more good than bad will come from it); yet is death that much worse than that? In some ways the other girls’ presence there makes that video more disturbing to me than a guy in his room alone dying. But I just can’t believe that people sat around and watched this happen, debating whether it was real and egging him on…that makes that video so much more disturbing than the girl. Blech, I feel gross now… and I guess that proves the point of reporting things like this to educate people, because I would certainly be more careful if I ever came upon someone on the net threatening to do something like that.

    Wow this is really stream-of-consciousness, but I feel really disturbed by that story, sort of like I’ve stepped into some sort of dystopian novel.

    Here’s a question: do you all think it would be necessary to (if we had the ability to do it) circulate that video on the net as a way to educate people? We’ve been talking about this girl’s video here being used in that way, what about the suicide video? Is it in the same realm? Where do we draw the line with what we should and shouldn’t circulate, all in the name of education?

    Qualification: answers must be less than 500 words ;) (and I’ll be checking spelling and grammar…)

    @ Teacher in China:

    No, your reaction isn’t odd. It’s merely the difference between a person’s acceptance of the fake and real.

    It is precisely the issue of “why did people sit around and do nothing” that could be educational. Frankly, I think all of us know why people sat around and did nothing. Maybe they thought it was a joke, a hoax, or another whiny brat trying to get attention in immature ways, who knows, but there are understandable reasons based upon real instances in our society. We are desensitized because people desensitize us. No way around that. All we can do is constantly evaluate where our lines are drawn and hope our lines are drawn in such a way that it reasonably avoids us making mistakes in the future.

    To answer your question: I approached this from the perspective that it has already been spread and is spreading, hence my emphasis on ascribing a message to it. Now, what if I was the first person to have the video, would I circulate it to teach a message? That’s harder to say, but I think I might but I would want to do so in a way that minimizes the harm to the person in the video (ex. censoring identity), minimize lurid voyeurism (ex. censoring sexual details), and maximize the educational aspect (ex. distributing through the right channels such as through the news). That said, I also recognize that all of that may have less raw visceral impact and illicit less outrage than the raw uncensored video.

    What do you think?

    @Teacher in China
    I find your analysis very amusing.

    The reason why is you are so against one person killing himself on video, but not against the video which *will likely cause* a person to kill themself – maybe on webcam, to ironically keep in line with that which ruined her life (with your consent).

    Do you truly think “mostly because I can agree that more good than bad will come from it” applies to her face, tits, and vag being shown without censorship all over the internet, by potentially hundreds and millions of her peers, family, friends, classmates, future workmates, future relationships, etc? I can’t accept that.

    I’m not a reporter however my girlfriend, who is of Korean descent, sent me this link. We both would like to see the actual video, and I more so than her. Not from any twisted desire, but I have to write an eight page paper for college in a few weeks and it deals with racism and inhumane treatment. If I get to watch the video I’ll have a better, more emotional feel for what happened and be able to write more about it

    I think that argument has been done to death already, don’t you? Let’s just agree to disagree.
    I have to admit that I don’t understand what you’re saying in the first paragraph, could you explain it more clearly?

    @Kai
    I agree about the educational value of discussing why this suicide video happened. It makes a for a very good conversation about society in general – have we become desensitized by hoaxes, violence, the free flow of too much information, etc; or is it just because so much more information is available now that we are now hearing about more and more of the darker side of human nature than ever before (not to say it didn’t exist, it’s just now easier to find out about). That would make a great classroom discussion.
    That’s a tough problem you posed there. I agree that the impact would be lessened by not actually seeing it. Of course, if I’m looking at it from my perspective as a teacher, I could never show it in the classroom (can you imagine?!) But to spread on the internet with the purpose of education I think I have to agree that the impact is greater if the actual death is shown….it would sure cut through any of the people out there who are too jaded to be affected by words alone. But I still think I would feel guilty spreading a video that depicts an actual death in it. But on the other hand, if the guy puts himself on video on the internet doing it, he must have known it was going to get spread…? I really don’t know how I feel about this one, half of me thinks one way, half thinks the other….

    Anyways, back to work.

    Pls email me the link or the video. I’m a reporter from indonesia where these sort of crime is on the rise. This atrocity must be put into attention for the authorities to be aware of what societies might come to if prevention measures are not placed today. The occurence of this heindous act might have happened a long time ago but it still must be made into a lesson for heads of communities. Pls do not censor as well, so that the full nature of the crime can be fowarded into the mind of the viewer.

    There’s nothing in the video that isn’t represented in the pictures above. She is surrounded by a group of girls, they push her and beat her about the head. She steps back from the group and starts placing her clothes in a cubby in the wall. She stands naked for a moment, and it ends.

    You might find a torrent for it if you look, but since it’s illegal not too many people are willing to host it.

    How sad to see that humiliating behavior of girls toward one of their schoolmates. They forgot the old saying: “don’t do to others what you woudn’t like them do to you!”.
    Human nature without values and restrain can become so insensitive and brutal. We need to identify such abuses and protect those poor victims (as much as possible) from such a vicious behavior. Be it from boys or girls!

    If kids know that whatever they do to others, their punishment will be the exact same thing, do you suppose they would think twice before coming up with these hurtful and devious humiliation ideas? The best way, is to teach kid, if you can do to someone, let’s see how it feels if it is done onto you. So these girls that did this to their schoolmate, yup, punish them by having them stripped in front of a crowd. As horrible as it sounds, it should be a lesson to all others the consequences of their actions.

      Rosebelle, I forgot to post my comment on this brutal humiliation of a Chinese girl as a reply to your own comment. I agree that the girl’s tormentors should be punished severely, including some kind of public humiliation, but forcing them to appear naked in front of a jeering crowd seems excessive.

    I agree with Rosebelle, these bullies should be humiliated in public, but not forced to strip, this is really excessive. Shaving the girls’ hair and forcing them to apologize to their victim, possibly sending them to a disciplinary school for a year. If there are boys involved, they could be drafted immediately into the Army, again in a disciplinary unit, as I have said elsewhere, drill instructors, both male and female, will train them to respect girls. Probably a good deterrent.

    You don’t want to spread the video but yet you’re willing to give it out to journalists? These girls should be ashamed of themselves, these images and the video can ruin the poor child’s life. I didn’t expect something like this from the Chinese people, it’s such a disgrace. Worst, they’re already facing so much scrutiny online and they seem to be doing everything they can to confirm negative stereotypes.

    Just pretend she’s in a Nudist Colony or Naturalist Community and this will all seem trite. She looks to be in good shape and great health, nothing to be ashamed of or hide. The greatest shame here lies in he act of theft. This ‘punishment’ is irrelevant and meaningless in teaching her or anyone the value of ethics, honesty and ability in relation to ensuring the stability of society.

      If you have seen the video, you understand that she is being humiliated. Renewed humiliation since millions of people have seen her face, not just her naked body. Again, only judges are allowed to punish. The days of slavery, when “masters” and “mistresses” could punish their slaves, are a thing of the past, Mr “Master C”.

        Lets help lessen her pain, not worsen it, “Duchemin”. And the ‘Master’ prefix here has no reference to the Western subculture you are referring to though. Go figure.

        Once again, the humiliation (and actionable behaviour) on display here is on those ‘punishing’.

    2 things:

    1. Stop blogging about naked asian girls getting beat up; that’s an unfair view of China, and not the whole picture at all. The western media already bashes and spreads enough BS about China already.

    2. This happened in Canton (GuangZhou).

    I don’t know what they’re like down south, but don’t group them with us northerners.
