Hello everyone, I'm Vy Nguyen. Welcome to the Qi An My Ching. In the last few episodes, we shared with you the suicide and jumping off a building incident. In this episode, we will talk about the 5 missing people in the Tung Lo Wan Bookstore that shocked the whole of Hong Kong 9 years ago. It really made the Hong Kong people very angry. Hong Kong's Tung Lo Wan is a busy commercial district and is also sold a lot of trendy goods. One of the bookstores, Tung Lo Wan Bookstore, is named after a Chinese political book. The Tung Lo Wan Bookstore is not a big one. It is a small-scale bookstore that is full of Chinese politics. According to the Chinese government's capitalist book publisher, this bookstore is very popular with Chinese tourists because they can't buy these books in mainland China. Between October and December 2015, the Tung Lo Wan Bookstore in Hong Kong, including the boss and employees, disappeared one after another. At the beginning, the boss and employees, four of them, suddenly disappeared. After the five staff members, Li Bo, also disappeared, the whole incident suddenly became a hot topic and became a focus of close attention in Hong Kong. Why did these five people disappear? Hong Kong people enjoy freedom of speech and publication under the protection of the Basic Law. But some books published in Hong Kong will be banned by the mainland. It is forbidden to buy and distribute books in mainland China. This type of book is mostly related to Chinese politics or the CCP. In addition to revealing the historical context of the planned economy in the past, it also reveals the extremely sensitive content of contemporary leaders' corruption and political scandals. The cause of the missing incident shared today is related to a book written by Xi Jinping, the general secretary of the CCP. In April 2015, a Hong Kong lady contacted the West Point Publishing House and said that she had received a manuscript of Xi Jinping and his lovers. This book is based on Xi Jinping's romance and is mainly based on the relationship between Xi Jinping and a female TV anchor. Ms. Chow contacted several printing and publishing companies in Hong Kong. None of them dare to publish this book. She didn't expect that Hong Kong's Tung Lo Wan Bookstore was so strong that they planned to publish this book. As a result, because of this book, their bookstore was in trouble. The bookstore owner and senior officials disappeared one after another. The first missing person was a shareholder of a giant media company and the general manager of Tung Lo Wan Bookstore, Lui Po. He was 45 years old when he disappeared. On October 14, 2015, he had a backache and was hospitalized in the Northeast China. No one contacted him after that. That was also the last day he used the bookstore's computer. Later, it was reported that he was taken away from his wife's residence in Shenzhen. Five months after his disappearance, on March 4, 2016, he entered Hong Kong alone from Loh Hu. The police station did not arrest him. But when they found him on the missing person list, they notified the police. The police arrived at Lui Po's residence in South Dawei Village. After waiting for him, they asked him if he had any personal safety issues and if he needed help. He claimed that he had no safety issues and did not need help. The police told him that someone reported him missing. He claimed to have filed a lawsuit and then took the police officer to the police station for surgery. Lui Po's neighbors said that around 5 p.m. that day, they saw him return home, pack up his belongings, and then come back home. Lui Po has 32% shares in Shu Dian Wu, a media-friendly company. He is the third largest shareholder and is mainly responsible for the publication of this Hong Kong newspaper. At the end of February, 2015, he met with the manager, Lam Wing-kee, and his manager, Zhang Zhi-ping, on the streets of Fenghuangwei. The two met to help Shu Dian's largest shareholder, Gwai Man-hai, illegally send the banned books that were not approved by the mainland by Hong Kong back to the mainland. At the time of the report, the police said that the three people admitted to the crime and had a good attitude, and had a chance to get a retrial. Not long after, he returned to Hong Kong. Gwai Man-hai, one of the three shareholders, was born in May 1964, and was willing to work until 1996, when he got the Shu Dian nationality. On October 17, 2015, he was taken away by a man in Pattaya, Thailand. On November 3, 2015, four men searched his apartment in Hong Kong. One of them called himself Han Wei. He also said that Gwai Man-hai and someone else were gambling in Kampo. The four men tried to take away his computer, but were stopped by the manager, and eventually disappeared. During his disappearance, Gwai Man-hai had three times called the property management office of his apartment building to report his safety. He said he was working on his computer, but did not disclose where it was. On November 6, Gwai Man-hai called his wife in Germany to report his safety. His friend, Bui-ling, reported to the Thai authorities. On the same day, Gwai Man-hai sent a message to his wife in the UK, urging her to raise money for his bank account, hoping that his daughter would be fine. His daughter also asked for help from the British Embassy in Sweden. Three months after his disappearance, on January 17, 2016, Gwai Man-hai was found guilty of being blackmailed by a Chinese law enforcement agency. Not long after, the New York Times published an article claiming that Gwai Man-hai, the owner of the Shu Dian nationality, was involved in a car accident He was driving behind the wheel and caused the death of a female college student. He was sentenced to two years in prison and two years in prison. However, Gwai Man-hai fled the country and was subsequently dismissed from the court. He has been wanted by the Chinese government. When he turned himself in to the police, he said, It is my personal choice to turn myself in to the police. It has nothing to do with anyone. This is a responsibility I should bear. I don't want anyone to interfere with the organization or my return to the country. He even carried out malicious speculation. He also admitted to the crime in front of the camera and said that he could not return to his father's funeral due to his escape. Therefore, he now wants to return to the country to turn himself in and bear his own responsibility and apologize to the victim's family. The President of the Independent Chinese Book Club, Bei Ling, confirmed from Gwai Man-hai's friend that the crime had indeed happened and a young woman was killed in the case. But he did not believe that Gwai Man-hai turned himself in. The owner and founder of the Tung Lo Wan bookstore, Lam Wing-ki, was also one of the missing persons. In October 2015, he went to Shenzhen through the Luohu Pass. He was detained for one night and then brought to Ningbo and interrogated in a building. They gave him a piece of paper with two terms on it asking him to sign. The first was that he agreed to give up notifying his family. The second was that he agreed not to hire a lawyer. At that time, he was all alone. There was no way to find anyone to give him advice. He had to sign. In the following five months, he was kept under surveillance in Ningbo and was transferred to Shaoguan. During the interrogation, he said that Lam Wing-ki sold the books to the mainland and violated the mainland business law. Lam Wing-ki also revealed that the mainland authorities had been asking him to hand over his bookkeeping records and documents. He said that they were not the National Security Service, not the police station, nor the military, but the Central Investigation Team. It should be a small matter to look at the books. On June 14, 2016, Lam Wing-ki finally returned to Hong Kong. After thinking about it for two days, he still chose to tell the truth to the people of Hong Kong. He said that a Chinese government as big as Tangtang thought that a bookseller violated Chinese law and treated him like that. After you said the one country, two systems, please think about it for yourself. My personal experience with my colleagues shows that the Chinese government has not violated the one country, two systems. Lam Wing-ki also said that when he first accepted the media interview, the authorities had already arranged the speech and asked him to read it. He was forced to admit his mistake in the clip. Even if he did not want to, he did not have any other choice. For this breaking news, he said that he was not worried about his personal safety Zhang Zhiping, a business manager of a media company, was also missing. After his wife, who lives in Fenggang Town, Dongguan Province, had an accident, she lost contact with the bookstore. On October 14 or 24, 2015, it was reported that he was taken away by more than ten people in a long-sleeved shirt at his wife's residence in Fenggang Town. One of the men in Fenggang Town who claimed to be Zhang Zhiping's brother told the media that he was temporarily safe but did not reveal where he was. Zhang Zhiping, who was missing for the first five months, returned to Hong Kong on March 6, 2016. Like Lui Bo, he returned to Hong Kong and filed a blackmail case. Not long after, he returned to the Mainland and the authorities did not allow him to contact foreigners. However, he insisted that the media claimed that his actions were not restricted. He returned to China to take care of his Chinese wife. Therefore, not long after returning to Hong Kong, he sold baby products and returned to Dongguan. Zhang Zhiping said that during the investigation in the Mainland, and did not do anything involuntary. They took good care of me, treated me well and were very safe. He admitted to helping to burn the banned books to the Mainland. He also said that what I said during the interview in the Mainland was the truth. Lui Bo is one of the three shareholders of the mansion. He is the husband of Cai Jiaping and the owner of the bookstore. He is the fifth missing person in the Tung Lo Wan bookstore. Lui Bo was interviewed by the British BBC because he was worried that he would be revenged and asked for his name. He said that the topic of political books is getting more and more sensitive. But he has been reluctant to return to the Mainland in recent years. He thought that as long as he did not return to the Mainland, he would be fine. But he did not expect that he would be missing when he took books from the warehouse in Chaiwan. Because Lui Bo did not go home and lost contact, his wife went to the warehouse to find out. The BBC reported that Lui Bo had left the warehouse at around 6 o'clock in the morning. But he did not return home. A few hours after he went missing, his wife received a call from her husband. The call was from Shenzhen. Lui Bo used Mandarin, instead of the Cantonese he usually uses to communicate with his wife. He said that he could not return home because of the investigation. He also said that he could return to Chongqing if he cooperated. Lui Bo's wife was very worried. She immediately called the police the next day. After entering the police station, they searched Lui Bo's record of leaving the police station. Lui Bo's return card and passport were still at home. It showed that he did not legally leave the police station, but was likely to be taken back to the Mainland. Hu Zhiwei, the former manager of Tongluowan Bookstore, said that Lui Bo was indeed taken to the Mainland. He said that Lui Bo was pushed into a seven-passenger car and brought back to the Mainland on foot. Lui Bo once admitted to him that he was detained in Zhejiang during his stay in the Mainland, which is also the hometown of Guiwenhai. Hu Zhiwei advised him to tell the truth, but he insisted that he was terrified. If he resisted, he would live in terror for the rest of his life. During his disappearance, Lui Bo had contacted his wife three times. On January 9, his wife received a short video letter from her husband to report his safety. In the video, Lui Bo sat in front of the sofa to apply for peace. He was full of spirit and claimed to return to the Mainland. It was purely a personal act and had nothing to do with others. He also said that he did not want anyone to take him back to the Mainland to write articles and put him and his family under great pressure. Before Lui Bo was kidnapped, he could be seen printing books everywhere in Hong Kong. These books were sold in large retail stores, coffee shops and convenience stores. He disappeared for less than a few days, and the books began to disappear. Shops owned by the Mainland and independent bookstores that had been frightened frequently put down the books. The authors of the books were also shocked and dared not speak. Gui Wenhai, who had been released on conditions in China, was kidnapped again. This time, he was accompanied by a Swedish diplomat on a train to Beijing. When the Swedish government asked China to provide a detailed description of Gui Wenhai's whereabouts, the Chinese authorities refused to admit that he had been taken away. Not long after, Gui Wenhai appeared in a video and apologized for his crimes. He also said that he was tricked into a train by a Swedish diplomat. Mainland forces continue to make Hong Kong feel uneasy. In the past, they at least tried to follow the principle of one country, two systems. This time, they are fearless. For many local residents, this lesson is obvious. One day, they may come to arrest you. There is no guarantee of protection. Freedom of speech should be protected in Hong Kong. However, the Chinese government is in the hands of the publishing industry. Are you not obedient? Arrest you and teach you a lesson. Let you disappear for a month or more. The one country, two systems is just a joke. That's all for today. If you like our stories, please subscribe and follow our channel. See you next time. Bye-bye.
