China: staged protest resurrects man from dead
2013-08-06
Paliwood goes east. A pity French television didn't have a chance to report it before the revelation -- they're really good at blood libels.
Wuhan Evening News reported that a street protest against chengguan, Chinese 'urban management officers', on Saturday, was revealed as a hoax when an alleged corpse, a supposed victim of a beating by chengguan, came back to life and ran away.

A unnamed man's "dead" body was carried on a plank and dropped in front of a chengguan office building near Jiali Square by a group of 10 topless men, who claimed that the vendor had been beaten to death by chengguan. But hours later, the man "rose from the dead"- unable to bear the hot weather a moment longer - and ran away.

During the episode, the men who carried the "body" were in deep mourning, carrying wreathes and playing dirges, passersby who didn't realize the show was a hoax responded with sympathy and anger, posting photos of them online and denouncing the "horrible behavior" of chengguan.

Local police detained four of the men involved in the staged protest. But police have yet to locate the man who played dead in their investigation.
