Editor-in-Chief on Duty | Huang Mingting
In a month and a half, Chen Shufen, a 66-year-old female security guard, was sexually assaulted three times. She was assaulted by the captain of her security team. As an elderly woman with little ability to resist, she walks into layers of traps like a prey.
Warnings are ineffective, self-defense is a failure. The double pressure of internal and external pressure made her endure one violation after another, and she remained silent in anger, so that she even vomited blood. Unable to break free, she thought of "death" three times and twice.
The final vocalization begins with a very small chance of chance. Without that, no one knows what would have awaited her.
pitfall
On February 24, at 9 o'clock in the night, in Changsha Fengya Mingyuan Community, a business owner drove out from the fire escape that was locked on weekdays, and Master Wang, who was on duty, could not find the key. The total keychain is usually placed in the monitoring room, and Hu Mingcheng in the monitoring room told him that the key was taken away by the security captain Yu Fu very early. No one knows what he did with the keys.
Master Wang asked Yu Fu, and then let the car out.
Very small things. Mr. Yu, 53, has worked in the community for more than 10 years, longer than his immediate leader, Wu Huaiqiu, the property project manager, and is not obligated to explain anything to an ordinary security guard. But on this day, he was still a little abnormal in the eyes of his colleagues.
Before taking the key, Yu Fu quarreled with Hu Mingcheng, he did not allow Hu Mingcheng, who is usually in charge of the monitoring room, to continue to work in the monitoring room after dinner. "This person must be going to do something bad, either to play cards or to engage women. Hu Mingcheng said.
Subsequently, Yu Fu was seen playing cards in the third or fourth building of the community, and the person who played cards with him later said, "He lost 400 yuan that night." As for "engaging in women", it is a "chatter" that circulates in the staff dormitory of Fengya Mingyuan, and more than one person has seen him slap the butt of the cleaning aunt in public. But the strange thing is that for so many years, there has never been a real "victim".
Before arguing with his colleagues, Yu Fu made two phone calls to Chen Shufen, the only female security guard in Fengya Mingyuan.
The first call rang at 4:12 p.m. for 12 seconds, and Chen Shufen "didn't want to answer". Finally, she was scheduled to rest for a month, and she was able to live in her daughter's house, 66 years old this year, and she was taking her grandson at the time. At 5:55 p.m., the phone rang again, and Yu Wu urged Chen Shufen that tomorrow would be her day shift (7 o'clock to 19 o'clock), and she must go to the community tonight.

The daughter was not at home, and the successive phone calls aroused the suspicion of the son-in-law. "Why are you fighting so much, people are a little stupid. In his opinion, Yu Fu's request is unfounded - the family has a car, and he has been delivering packages to his mother-in-law who came to work in the city for the first time. Chen Shufen has never been late once, and even in the eyes of her colleagues, she always arrives early. "I'm here too, I'm angry too, I won't be late for tomorrow's shift, and it's not the first time I've gone to work. Chen Shufen said.
But she still obeyed the security captain's arrangement. After dinner with the family, the son-in-law sent Chen Shufen to Fengya Mingyuan. After washing, she fell asleep in the staff dormitory next door. Before going to bed, she deliberately locked the door and put a wooden stool behind the door.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, Yu Wu was seen leaving the place where he was playing cards and returning to the dormitory. He didn't sleep. At around 2 a.m., Chen Shufen woke up from her dream and found a man lying next to her, and she was "so frightened that her soul fell." I don't know how to use it, I walked into the dormitory where the door was locked and the stool was reached. That night, he sexually assaulted Chen Shufen.
It was the Lantern Festival, and in order to prevent fire accidents, Hu Mingcheng in the monitoring room and Master Wang on duty had to patrol. Fireworks and firecrackers went off all the time, and it didn't quiet until one or two o'clock. The two people walked twice along the patrol route around the elevator, corridor, ground and basement, and the staff dormitory was not within the patrol range. "Help! Catch the thief!" This is the most powerful cry for help that Chen Shufen can think of at that moment, she "shouted all the way and cried all the way", but there was no response.
In April, Chen Shufen lifted the corner of her clothes, revealing a brown scar on her left rib cage that was several centimeters long, which was newly turned over from the wound after the night of the Lantern Festival. Yu Wu's nails were very long, and in the process of resisting, the nails pinched into Chen Shufen's flesh. There are many such wounds, near the ribs.
It wasn't the first time she had been sexually assaulted. For 66-year-old Chen, the nightmare has already begun.
On January 6, she and her wife Liu Jianhua were introduced by their daughter Liu Yun to join the Fengya Mingyuan community as security guards, which was their first job in the city. Two couples living in the same dormitory is almost impossible to have a place where there is room for crime. However, the time and place of Chen Shufen and Liu Jianhua's work are "coincidental" and perfectly staggered.
The February 2024 schedule shows that Chen Shufen works the day shift (7 a.m. - 7 p.m.) throughout the month, Liu Jianhua works the night shift (7 p.m. - 7 a.m.), Chen Shufen is at the East Gate Post near the gate, and Liu Jianhua is at the Railway Post in front of the underground garage. The two husbands and wives live in the same dormitory, living as staggered "roommates".

The form's author was Yu Fu, and arranging the security guard's shift was part of his authority as the security captain.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Chen Shufen was supposed to mourn her relatives in her hometown with her husband and children. But when his daughter Liu Yun called Yu Fu to ask for leave for her father and mother, he only approved her father's leave, leaving her mother to continue to work. Liu Yun remembered that the reason he gave at that time was, "Two people are resting at the same time, and you can't win."
The situation is complicated, and the status of the "security captain" is a sweetness brought by Yu Fu, which is increasingly exacerbating the erosion of others in the power structure.
There is a security guard whose child is in high school, and he only has a relatively long monthly vacation on the 2nd of every month, and he wants to concentrate his 4 days of vacation on the 2nd. Once, when he tried to communicate, Yu refused and said, "Why didn't you talk earlier? But after buying him two packs of cigarettes, the holiday was approved.
This is the norm, more than one colleague reported that he was exempted from "eating and taking cards" on shifts and holidays - his salary was 2,700 yuan, and the ordinary security guard was 2,300 yuan, but he used his little power to get a steady stream of free meat, rice, oil, cigarettes, etc. The security guard, who has left his job, said that he was "too greedy" and that "if you don't send anything, [he] will embarrass you".
Chen Shufen and Liu Jianhua, who worked in the city for the first time, tacitly did not give him gifts. "Sitting here was only a few dozen yuan a day, and he couldn't afford to send things, and he couldn't afford to give more than half a catty, and I couldn't pay it myself. Why, why do you want to send him something?" Chen Shufen said.
It is more likely that at that time, they were wooden, they did not want to break any rules, nor did they think of using any rules, they just moved the land of their hometown to the concrete ground of this community in Changsha for farming, hoping that they could harvest on the day of the monthly salary. Farmers for decades, they are good at patience.
"My dad wasn't allowed to wash hot water, he wasn't allowed to use the air conditioner, he wasn't allowed to use the washing machine. Daughter Liu Yun said angrily that she only found out about these things later. Along with these, there is also the sexual assault of his mother as many as three times that Yu Fu carried out under the nose of the family.
In this security team of 8 people, the atmosphere has long been bad, very stuffy, a kind of dullness that is unique to the arrival of a thunderstorm. Wu Huaiqiu, the project manager, found that since the end of last year, Yu Fu has become very decadent, and he is not doing things well, drinking in the dormitory every day. "If you don't have an accident this time, something will happen sooner or later. He said.
A week after Chen Shufen joined the company, she received an order to ask her to put a fire label.
Afterwards, a security guard pointed out that according to the regulations, the security guards in the sentry booth did not need to be responsible for labeling, but Chen Shufen did not know about it. This kind of non-compliant assignment is not of great concern compared to Yu Fu's usual "eating and taking cards". But Hu Mingcheng knew that before Chen Shufen, there was a female security guard who was nearly 60 years old who had also been taken by Yu Fu to be labeled as a firefighter. That happened in the summer of 2022, in order to let the female security guard go to the label, Yu Wu specially came to Hu Mingcheng, who was on vacation at the time, to go to her day shift for nearly a day.
Daughter Liu Yun also knew about her mother being asked to label her. During that time, she happened to go to the dormitory to bring some food to her mother, because Chen Shufen was illiterate, and the words on the label were all written with the help of their family. A whole community of labels and stickers, thick stacks, packed in several large bags.
At that time, Yu Wu took Chen Shufen to paste the fire label of a building, first to the top floor, and then to the bottom layer by layer. After sticking one, Yu Fu asked Chen Shufen to finish the meal within 15 minutes, and then go to pick up Master Luo's class at the railway gang. "My mother (because she doesn't speak Mandarin and can't understand his dialect) didn't go to pick up Master Luo's post, and Master Luo scolded Yu Shun, Yu Shun scolded my mother. Liu Yun said.
"I misheard, I thought he asked me to keep posting, (Yu Wu) that face collapsed all of a sudden, so Heren (so scary). Chen Shufen said. It was gloomy, and it was the first time she felt scared because of Yu Avoidance.
On January 13, Yu said that he would take her to the underground garage. The first time she got out of the garage, Chen Shufen followed him very obediently and kept walking inside. Walking to the door of the pump room in the middle of the garage, she didn't dare to leave, "I'm afraid, it's dark inside." Chen Shufen said. But Yu Fu walked in first, and when she was unprepared, he stretched out his hand and dragged her into the pump room.
It was a secluded, confined space. A security guard once followed the engineer into the pump room once, and it was very noisy, the sound of the pump and the sound of electricity were mixed together, and there was a boom. And to go to the pump room need a special key, the owner and ordinary security guards have no right to enter, only here has worked here for more than ten years, every month to check the fire facilities of the security captain Yu Fu, only have the key to the pump room.
Chen Shufen clearly remembers that on that day, she had called for help loudly, but even during the day, no one came. The space she described as cold, dark with her fingers invisible, noisy noises, and wine. She remembered that she smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Yu Fu's body.
When Chen Shufen came out of the pump room, Yu Fu had already left. An old lady who is illiterate, does not understand Mandarin very well, and does not know how to take the bus or subway is difficult to have the ability to summarize complex feelings. The only detail that can be used to trace her inner situation is that on that day, she knew that her wife was on duty in the community, close enough to meet him when she walked out of the underground garage, but she did not go.
She quietly went back to the dormitory, sat down, and thought of "death" for the first time. "I'm really angry, I want to die here, but my cubs aren't around, I'm dead, they don't even know how I died. ”
After comforting herself, Chen Shufen took the wound and pasted the remaining fire label in her hand at that time in order to complete the work. This is the first time she has been sexually assaulted on her 8th day of employment.
Chin-hsien
On January 13, she was sexually assaulted at the pump house, on January 20, she worked the night shift, and her wife worked the day shift and was sexually assaulted during the day, and on February 25, her wife was not in Changsha and was sexually assaulted in the early morning. Each time it became more violent than the last, accumulating 3 times. Yu lest threaten her, "If you say it, I will strangle you."
Huang Chang, chairman of Yutian Property Company, which belongs to the security team, said in an interview with the media that the relationship between Yu Fu and Chen Shufen was "a slap in the face". Subsequently, in an internal meeting in April, a friend secretly told Liu Yun that Huang Chang clarified the matter to the relevant employees as, "The first two times were (Chen Shufen) voluntary."
When stating this, Liu Yun was so angry that her face was slightly bulging.
It would have been a well-intentioned decision. Liu Yun worked as a project manager in another project of Yutian Property Company, because her father had just been cured of a serious illness in recent years, and several children wanted to bring their parents to Changsha, so that the family could take care of each other, so they were placed in Fengya Mingyuan Community, which Yutian Property Company was responsible for, as security guards.

But in the continuous pursuit and recollection afterwards, Liu Yun gradually realized that since she entered Fengya Famous Garden, her mother has lived in an invisible "surveillance".
The mother did not have the opportunity to confide in her family about her ordeal. Four days off every month, if there are no special circumstances, at her daughter's house, her son-in-law and two grandchildren are there, she can't speak. Even because her grandson often has to use her mobile phone to play "children's rhymes", she deleted a lot of pornographic pictures that Yu Fu sent her.
The only gap is that Liu Yun will visit her parents when she has time and bring them some fruits, dumplings and other small things.
But every time Liu Yun went, Yu Wu would appear, and even if he wasn't in the dormitory at first, he would come within a few minutes. "Sometimes I want to talk to my mom and dad about something, even if I close the door, he pushes the door in. After knowing the fact of sexual assault, Liu Yun recalled the horror. Not only that, Yu Shun would also say to Chen Shufen in private: "Sister Chen, why didn't your daughter call me? Do you have any opinions about me?"
She tried to reveal something unusual.
Soon after joining the company, she began to ask Liu Yun for a "door tie", a hardware accessory similar to an anti-theft chain, she said, "afraid of thieves". On January 11, Liu Yun bought two door ties, took photos and sent them to her mother for confirmation. Later, my father installed one of them outside the door, and the other one, which was supposed to be installed inside the door, could not be installed because the screws did not fit. After January 13, the mother's attitude became urgent, she asked Liu Yun for the screws on the second door hitch, asked her daughter if she wanted it, asked her son to ask for it, and let Liu Jianhua continue to ask if she didn't want it.
"Your mom is so good. Liu Jianhua said to his daughter. Liu Yun remembers that she was on her father's side at the time. "My dad and I thought she might have to put on the door because of money or something, so we put it on the outside, and his previous lock was a very ordinary lock for the security door. ”
No one knew that Chen Shufen, who looked obviously old at a glance, would be sexually assaulted at the age of 66. She wanted to put the hitchhiker inside the door so that it couldn't be opened from the outside so she could feel safe.
During that time, she often quarreled with Liu Jianhua. When Liu Jianhua was washing his feet in the house, Yu Fu walked in. Chen Shufen questioned him: "Why did you provoke him in?" In Liu Jianhua's perspective, Yu Wu just had some things in this room, and it was normal to come in and pick up things. Chen Shufen said that she wanted to throw out all other people's things in the house.
There is also the matter of knives, there is a table at the head of the bed in the dormitory, on which a cutting board is placed, on which they usually cut vegetables and fruits. Because he was worried that the knife would be dangerous if it was placed there, Liu Jianhua put the knife away. Chen Shufen saw it and blamed him: "Why do you want to use my knife?" These emotions were incomprehensible to Liu Jianhua, who was kept in the dark.
There was no chance to speak, and she was too embarrassed to speak. "I'm afraid of ugliness. This is the word she says the most in the process of recalling this incident, except for "scared".
She is the most common kind of woman in the countryside, only with long hair when she was young, and Liu Yun has not seen her wear a dress once. She used to buy her mother a pair of knee-length shorts, which were cooler in the summer, but she didn't wear them again after wearing them once. After giving birth, these women became mothers in silence, grandmothers and grandmothers.
This is the first time lawyer Zhu Dan has handled a case of sexual assault of an elderly woman. He said it wasn't a peachy story at all, and that the victim of the incident was an "elderly female manual laborer," an ordinary old country lady. When Zhu Dan recorded a video for her to explain the situation, he broke off four or five times in the middle, and he needed to stop and explain the meaning of various words for her, such as what is called "your name". When being interviewed, the question that is asked in one sentence requires Liu Yun to describe the meaning of the question to her in at least five sentences.
"It's really embarrassing, it's embarrassing, the grandchildren are so tall. When asked why she didn't say it again and again, Chen Shufen replied.
Her shame can be found in her chat logs with her daughter. After being sexually assaulted for the first time at the pump room, on January 13, she did not send a WeChat message to Liu Yun for a whole day. Until the evening of the 14th, I was on the night shift in the sentry box, and without a preface, I sent Liu Yun a small video of his grandson singing. A few days after the 13th, and without any reason, she sent videos of her 4 grandchildren to Liu Yun's WeChat. To her, these videos are like a short-acting "painkiller" that she can endure by watching them repeatedly.
She also tried to threaten him, saying that she wanted to expose him, but when she was asked, aren't you afraid of ugliness? The other party knows better than herself the weakness of older women, and he takes advantage of her weakness.
After the first sexual assault, she found him in the monitoring room and issued the first warning: "Don't harass me again, don't come again, if you come again, I'll sue you." In her recollections, she was unimpressed, and there was a sentence to the effect that "what's so great about this, it's our personal relationship." This sentence directly exploded her. "Why don't I get angry (how can I not be angry)? What do I have to do with you? I don't even recognize you! You dwarf (Yu Wu's nickname)!"
Things continue to deteriorate. On January 20, Chen Shufen slept in the dormitory after working the night shift, and Yu Fu opened the door directly and lay on her bed, sexually assaulting her for the second time. She remembered clear finger marks on her hands, as well as wounds worse from sleeping in thin clothes. Yu avoided threatening her again, if she spoke out, he would kill her.
Until she finally opened her mouth and said to her daughter, "I don't want to do it here, I want to go back to my hometown." Liu Yun could only think about whether she was uncomfortable and wanted to take her to the hospital to see, but the only reason that could be easily said was: "It hurts to sit there, and I have back pain when I sit there." ”
She and Liu Jianhua also said that they didn't want to do it, and the reason given was closer to the truth, "I don't want to see that dwarf." "If you don't want to see it, don't you watch it...... The two of them work together here, whether they are cooking or eating, or doing anything, they have a companion, and it is a little lively. The reply she got was this.
What's more, during that time, Liu Yun received a transfer notice from Yutian Company, and she was about to go to Fengya Mingyuan as a project manager and become Yu Fu's direct boss. Chen Shufen felt as if she had hope, her daughter was coming soon, and her daughter would definitely protect herself.
can't say, and can't leave, in the impasse of waiting, the third sexual assault came earlier than the daughter. She tried to reach the knife on the chopping board, "trying to choke him to death", but "couldn't reach him", she reached out and pinched his neck, and she had already pinched it, "tried to strangle him", but it was useless. After drinking, Yu Wu's face was red, and he was brute. She was completely devastated, saying that she would definitely sue him and "kill him". Afterwards, she "sat on the floor and cried", "I really cried, cried to death", and she was so angry that she vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.
That night, she never closed her eyes again. All the luck in her heart fell through one by one - the first time she was sexually assaulted, she gave in, thinking that it might be fine not to follow him anywhere, but Yu Wu came to her room. Waiting for his daughter to come over to protect himself, but even if the news came out, he still attacked again wildly. There will definitely be a next time. "That's ugly, that's ugly. She thought to herself.
On the morning of February 25, Wu Huaiqiu, the project manager, came out to sort out the snakeskin bags spread on both sides of the steps of the community. When he walked down, Chen Shufen was on the day shift at the east gate sentry box. I don't know how much courage she mustered, Chen Shufen shouted: "Manager Wu, Manager Wu." She shouted twice, but it was too small for him to hear.
Wu Huaiqiu walked along the steps, shaking the rain on the snakeskin bag all the way, and disappeared from the top step.
Once again, she fell silent.
nod
Inside the security team, another storm is brewing at the same time. And this storm, very accidentally, became the outlet for this secret sexual assault case.
In 2023, project manager Wu Huaiqiu thought about replacing Yu Fu, but he couldn't replace it.
He said that Yu was irresponsible in the past two years, did not implement the things he talked about at the meeting, and even drank in the dormitory every day since the end of last year. But when Wu Huaiqiu reported the situation to the company, the feedback he got was, "Don't move for the time being." As for why he couldn't move, he couldn't explain it, only said that maybe the company had the company's considerations.
Half a year before the sexual assault case, Yu Fu's wife had a fight with the aunt who was cooking in the community canteen, and the trouble went to the police station, resulting in Yu Fu and the canteen aunt being fired. However, some employees confirmed that soon after the incident, Yu Shun returned to the security team and still served as the captain.
Huang Chang, chairman of the company, said in an interview with the media, "He is only 53 years old, and he has been working in the company for 10 years, and it is not easy to find a 53-year-old person."
The connivance shown at the corporate level has led to growing tensions within the security forces. Hu Mingcheng is the only person in the team who dares to slap the table with Yu Wu, and since he joined the company in the summer of 2022, the two sides have quarreled countless times. It was not until the afternoon of February 25 this year that the conflict reached a critical point where it was about to erupt.
On the same day, Chen Shufen, who suffered a third sexual assault in the early morning, felt that she could no longer "bear it" in her heart. Liu Yun said, "My mother has collapsed at that time."
Her devastation seemed to have finally frightened Yu Aine. That night, he tried to send her a plaster to apply the wound, but she picked it up and threw it at him, cursing and saying, "I don't want you!" At around 10 a.m., Yu Fu sent her a red envelope on WeChat, and she did not receive it until the red envelope expired. Near noon, he bought oranges and wanted to give her two, and at the east gate sentry box, Chen Shufen threw the oranges at him. She also held up her phone to record a video of the oranges rolling off the ground, as if she were staring at something extremely dirty.

After her efforts to ask Wu Huaiqiu for help failed, Chen Shufen did not continue to ask for help for half a day.
She recognized her life, but she didn't understand the language, her husband and children were not around, and she didn't know who she could trust. It wasn't until the afternoon of the same day that Hu Mingcheng wrote a three-page report letter, in which he described in detail what Yu Fu had done, and Master Wang went to other security guards to sign it. Chen Shufen was illiterate, and when these three pages appeared in front of her, she only knew that it was used to "get rid of it".
It turned out that he was not the only one who hated him. After a long period of patience, Chen Shufen felt for the first time that she could "have someone to support her". The power structure that Yu had been trying to exacerbate her silence was shattered by this unexpected confluence.
She said to Master Wang that last night, there were thieves in the dormitory. Master Wang asked, "Which one is it?" She said, it's a short man.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Mingcheng received a call from Master Wang in the monitoring room, and he heard Master Wang say on the other end of the phone: "There is no need to write a joint letter, Chen Shufen was raped by Yu Shufen." ”
Hu Mingcheng's intuition told him that Chen Shufen was definitely not lying. Everyone gathered together to eat in the cafeteria every day, and he noticed the changes that had taken place in Chen Shufen. When she first came to work, she often greeted them, but later, she became no longer happy and ate with a straight face. Hu Mingcheng once said to Master Wang, "This old lady is a little weird, why don't you make a noise?" When Master Wang took Chen Shufen to the monitoring room, Hu Mingcheng found that she was trembling, stammering in her speech, and kept saying "afraid".
Chen Shufen's husband Liu Jianhua said that Hu Mingcheng is a good person. Hu Mingcheng would tell Chen Shufen when she was on the evening shift that if there was anything, you could ask him for help. Out of "sympathy for the victims", he resisted the pressure to meet with us. Even if it is late at night, I still have to accompany all reporters to finish the interview, because I "don't want to lose my trust in others".
In the evening of the same day, when Chen Shufen's husband and children were not around, Hu Mingcheng decided to take her to the police station to report the case with Master Wang. Facing the cowering old man, he comforted her: "The 21st century is a society governed by the rule of law, don't be afraid." But Chen Shufen did not tell the truth. At the age of 66, she went to the police station for the first time, and she was even afraid that the police would arrest her. Hu Mingcheng next to him was so anxious that when he reported the case, he was warned by the police: "Don't say it, let her say it yourself, you are inducing her." ”
At that time, it was a young male policeman who was questioned, and she finally opened her mouth to tell the other party, so as to avoid scratching her lower body, the other party asked her to take a photo, but she was embarrassed to take a picture, and in the end, she only said that she was taken off her pants and pressed on the bed, and did not say the follow-up situation.
The appearance of the joint letter has caused cracks in the invisible conditions of shelter and exemption, but shame still surrounds the old man, which is exactly the hidden weapon of Yu Wai.
During the police report, Yu Fu and his wife went to the police station one after another. In Chen Shufen's memory, after Yu Fu walked into the inquiry room, she knelt down at her as soon as possible, kowtowed three times, and begged her: "Sister Chen, I beg you, I beg you, I call your mother to do it? Chen Shufen was very angry, and scolded him directly in front of everyone, saying: "I don't have a son like you, if I have a son like you, I will kick you into the river and drown." ”
Then his wife came. Chen Shufen said that at the police station, his wife rummaged out of her bag and threw something like popcorn around, saying that she would die here. The woman scolded her with very dirty words, saying that Chen Shufen was so old, and she also seduced other people's husbands and threatened to beat her to death. The family was not around, and Hu Mingcheng and Master Wang could not come in, so she faced the couple alone and did not dare to speak. "I was stupid, I was too scared to speak. ”
Hu Mingcheng remembered that on that day, Yu Fu's wife was held up by three policemen and dragged out of the interrogation room backwards.
At 10:10 p.m., her son Liu Zhi, who was mourning in his hometown, received a call from his mother, who said that she had just come out of the police station and couldn't recognize the road and didn't know where she was going to sleep. In the call, which lasted only 61 seconds, the mother revealed the corner of her scar to her children for the first time. Liu Zhi remembered that she said, "Yu Fu, this brute, entered my room last night."
Hu Mingcheng and Master Wang found her under the bridge at the entrance of the police station, it was dark, it was raining heavily in Changsha, and the old lady was soaking wet. On that day, due to Chen Shufen's concealment, the police station characterized the case as indecent assault based on the information it could have.
She couldn't open her mouth, and crunched back again. This is the dead end that often occurs in sexual assault cases of elderly women after excluding the condition of the workplace, without the intervention of children, sexual assault on them will hardly be discovered, and as long as it is not discovered, there is no cost.
The next day, Liu Zhi didn't eat breakfast and rushed back to Changsha with his sister, sister and father. In order to hide from his father, Liu Zhi asked his sister Liu Yun to go to her mother alone to inquire about the situation. And Chen Shufen didn't speak, the mother and daughter faced each other and sat for a long time.
Liu Yun patiently comforted her, it was not her fault, but after the words were finished, Chen Shufen was silent. Until she said: "Mom, girls are the majority in our whole family, and women themselves are a very vulnerable group. It's a very bad thing for you. But you see, there are so many children in this community, whether they are young or old, if everyone is violated in this way, will this brute be even more unscrupulous? He will not be punished in any way, and he will only be accustomed to his blind arrogance. ”
The old lady was illiterate and could not distinguish between "rape" and "molestation", because she needed to sign a report to report a crime, and it was only at the Public Security Bureau that she learned to draw her name for the first time. Her daughter's words touched the bottom emotion in her heart. "If I don't speak out, it's a trivial matter to hurt me, and I will harm others. If you want to tell it, you have to tell it if you are ugly. ”
The most critical question, Liu Yun worded for a long time and asked her: "Did that person do what Dad did to you?"
Chen Shufen nodded. All the strange fragments of a month and a half condensed at this moment.
Liu Yun finally knew what happened to her mother, why the white hair quickly climbed on top of her head, and her back suddenly became rickety. "I could feel [something] tormenting her over and over again. Before, she liked to tell us the most, when people bow their heads, the flames will be low, and they want us to raise our heads and chests. She never walked hunched over. But [during that time] I specifically reminded my mom, is your neck straight here or what? She said, is that the case? It collapsed completely unconsciously. ”
In order to hide from their father, the brother and sister lied that Yu Fu was just "doing something" to his mother. They didn't dare tell him the truth. Just heard that Yu Fu "touched" and "hugged" his mother, and his father, who was nearly seventy years old, "blew up" and almost rushed out to kill people.
No family member can keep their sanity in this matter, and even Liu Zhi, who claims to be the calmest, is dominated by anger. After learning the truth, he went to the dormitory of the security team in the Fengya Mingyuan community and kicked the door hard. The door didn't open, and he climbed out of the window of the room where his parents were and entered Yu Fu's room. Later, he was glad that there was no one in the room, otherwise he didn't know what he would have done.
On the way to report the case again, Liu Zhi and Liu Yun met Yu Fu and his wife, Liu Zhi restrained himself, approached him, tapped Yu Fu on the arm twice with his fingers, and said to him, "You are ready, wash your buttocks, and the sentence will be 3 to 10 years." ”
He heard Yu Fu sigh deeply.
Trembling
On February 27, after Chen Shufen re-reported the case, the Yuelu Branch of the Changsha Municipal Public Security Bureau will be exempted from filing a criminal case. In the afternoon of the same day, the police were dispatched to arrest Yu Yu.

He heard the wind out of nowhere, and began to plan an escape, first going out from the main entrance of Fengya Mingyuan, turning right, turning into a resettlement community, and then entering the main entrance of a supermarket, and picking up the luggage stored in advance. Liu Zhi squatted at the main gate for a while, but didn't see him come out, so he hurriedly went around to the back door and intercepted him.
Chen Shufen's fear was finally dissipated. After calling the police for the first time, Yu Fu returned to the dormitory and said to everyone, "I, Hu Hansan, are back again", and have been wandering outside for more than a day since then. Chen Shufen was afraid that he would really come and kill her.
On April 3, Chen Shufen received a message from the public security authorities that "the suspect has been arrested by a decision." Lawyer Zhu Dan, who represented the case, explained, "The approval of the arrest means that the procuratorate recognizes that the evidence submitted by the public security during the investigation stage is conclusive and can already determine the basic facts."
Liu Yun read the news to her mother. She said, Mom, don't worry, Yu will not be arrested. When the old man heard this, he didn't show much expression, but only said, "That's good." ”

But things didn't end at the highest point, but fell quickly. At the same time that Yu Fu's sexual assault crime was confirmed, Chen Shufen and her family, as the victim, began to pay the price for their bravery.
After the sexual assault case in the workplace was revealed, the leaders of Yutian Company never gave a word of condolences to the victim. In Liu Yun's first call to the company, deputy general manager Xie Wei said, "This is a personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company."
Chen Shufen's husband Liu Jianhua was involved, and one day he received a text message, "Due to the company's optimization of personnel, you are now dismissed." Chen Shufen herself was "coldly treated", and the company tacitly assumed that she was no longer an internal employee. Huang Chang, chairman of Yutian Company, said in an interview with the media: "There is no dismissal at all, because it is over the legal age of 60, it is not a normal employment, but only a temporary worker, and all labor contracts are signed." This kind of situation where temporary workers come to work for a month or half a year and then leave is a common phenomenon in the industry. ”
As the victim's daughter, Liu Yun was first notified to be transferred to work in a community 30 miles away from her home, and then was completely fired for refusing to be deployed and failing to arrive on time. The "Notice of Arrival" issued by the company reads, "It is deemed that you have voluntarily resigned".

Three days after being dismissed, Liu Yun received a "Work Contact Letter" from the company again, saying that Liu Yun "took advantage of her position to illegally take possession of our company's property, with an amount of more than 100,000 yuan...... Suspected of committing the crime of embezzlement". Wu Huaiqiu, who worked as a project manager at Yutian Company with Liu Yun, heard the news and laughed: "That's impossible. How much does a project cost a year? You've only been working on it for a few years? If you embezzle 100,000 yuan, the company is a fool and can't see it?"
In his 16-year career as a lawyer, Zhu Dan has never handled such a case, the victim has been victimized, and he has been dismissed, and his family has even been counter-charged with duty-related crimes.
His anger permeated all the way to the reply letter he wrote for Liu Yun to the company: "After the sexual assault case occurred, I, as a family member of the victim, have been viciously targeted by your company many times. First, they asked me to take a long vacation for no reason, then inexplicably asked me to be transferred, then stopped paying my social security, and finally sent a "work contact letter" to intimidate me. Here, I solemnly inform you: I will not succumb to these tricks. ”
Originally, he participated in the criminal case of sexual assault as the victim's agent, but Yutian's actions prompted him to turn the finger and start pursuing the civil liability of the employer. "This is sexual harassment in the workplace. As a unit, you have no prevention, no protection, but after this incident occurs, you will promote the atmosphere and persecute the person concerned. I am holding this accountable. ”
The law provides for liability in this regard. The second paragraph of Article 1010 of the Civil Code clearly stipulates that "government agencies, enterprises, schools and other units shall take reasonable measures such as prevention, acceptance of complaints, investigation and handling, etc., to prevent and stop sexual harassment by taking advantage of their authority and subordination." "On Women's Day 2020, Hunan Province officially implemented the Special Provisions on Labor Protection of Female Employees in Hunan Province to further safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women in the workplace.
However, for Zhu Dan and Chen Shufen's family, the most difficult part at present is that the laws and regulations do not make some detailed and detailed provisions on the prevention and protection responsibilities of the unit, but only emphasize that it should have measures in this regard. "In a blank space, I can't talk about the loopholes, but at least there is a blank. Zhu Dan replied.
With the intervention of lawyers and the media, the atmosphere within Yutian became more and more tense, and at first, the insiders who were interviewed by conscience were cut off from the reporters one by one. When an emergency meeting was held in April, all employees who attended the meeting had their mobile phones confiscated. Only a few well-meaning colleagues called Liu Yun after the meeting and informed her that Huang Chang had said that her mother had volunteered the first two times.
Rumors are a man-made river of filth that has poured into the lives of Chen Shufen and Liu Yun. As a daughter, Liu Yun was angry and scolded rarely, saying that if she saw Huang Chang, she would want to go over and slap him to death. She anxiously answered and made calls, walked around the room, and said loudly into the microphone: "I tell you, anyone who insults me can do it, don't talk about my parents." You don't even know what's going on, come up and spray feces, what do you mean?"
During the continuous interview and evidence collection, Liu Yun often missed eating and would faint due to low blood sugar. Her brother and sister tried to persuade her to protect herself and not to put herself in it. But she stubbornly bites on the clues and moves forward, to sit on the deliberate and malicious intent in the process of avoiding crime, and when she makes new discoveries, she will not be able to sleep all night. Once, in the car, because of irregular meals and long-term exhaustion, she got out of the car and turned her back, holding on to a tree and vomiting.
She asked herself, if she didn't let her parents come to Changsha to live, would her mother have survived the tragedy?
On the evening of April 15, we met Chen Shufen, and in order to avoid the crowds, the interview was opened on the side of a country road. The pavement was covered with dust and weeds, and she took off her coat and spread it on the ground, trying to make others sit cleaner, and she didn't care. She has always put herself at the back, carrying hemp with a flat pole, and together with her husband, she has sent even the youngest daughter to college.
She was short, somewhat rickety, wrinkled on her face, worked as a security guard, and was almost a "perfect victim". stripped of the external conditions of "young" and "sexy" that are highlighted in the common sexual assault news, everything that happened to Chen Shufen shows that the essence of sexual assault is violence, and it is violence against the weak.
Wu Huaiqiu said that Yu Wu was not a very bold person, and when he yelled at him during the meeting, he was silent. He is only about 1.5 meters tall and has been nicknamed "Shorty" by his colleagues in the security team. But when the words "elderly", "female", and "manual laborer" are combined, it is enough to keep Chen Shufen silent in the power structure, so that he dares to sexually assault her three times in a row.
Nearly two months have passed since the incident, and Chen Shufen still doesn't dare to say Yu Fu's name directly. During the two and a half hours of recounting the experience, she repeatedly shivered four or five times, often with her shoulders suddenly rising and her body froze for two or three seconds before slowly relieving. With tears in her eyes, she wanted to tell, and she said that the wound hurt so much, and it hurt so much when she urinated. It seems that if the pain is spoken, the pain in the memory will be farther away from her. "You can't talk to anyone else, you can't talk to your children. She said. "I don't usually cry, I cry every day. "Repeated several times.
As a son, Liu Zhi will choose to actively avoid his mother when he is interviewed. And Liu Yun may be the most remorseful person in the whole thing, for her mother's pain, she will have a withdrawal reaction similar to that that of being stabbed by a sharp object. She struggled to confront the scars on her mother's ribs, and asked her mother to stop as she recalled the details of the assault. In the interview, she learned for the first time that her mother had thought about death every time she was violated, and she endured it when she thought of her children. In those few seconds, she cried as fragile as a child.
It's not that they don't want to understand, but they don't dare to understand, and they struggle day and night in self-blame. On the night after the interview, after sending her mother home, Liu Yun sat paralyzed in the back seat of the car, and she whispered: "Okay, I know the truth, and if it's not good, I also know the truth." "I always wanted to protect my mother and didn't want her to be hurt twice, but everything seemed to turn Chen Shufen into a new island.
She had caught a glimpse of the pain that overflowed from her mother's body.
After calling the police for the second time, one day everyone was having breakfast at home, and Liu Yun saw that her mother had prepared chopsticks and bowls for her father, and even the rice was served, just waiting for him to come over to eat. This was something that had never happened before, and my father knew nothing. He felt happy, but he also realized the abnormality, and said to Chen Shufen: "It's not that I can't live (I can't do it)." Chen Shufen did not speak.
It was Liu Yun who took it, and she said, "Mom is so good to you." She remembers it very well.
These wounds, which are not left on the body, can never be truly healed. They will heal and will scab over, but they will have to wait for a long time.
