I have a Vietnamese friend whom I met on Facebook years ago.
I was in college at that time, and he worked as a small civil servant in a certain unit. He is three years older than me and should be thirty-five this year.
After seeing all kinds of smears about my country on the Internet, my interest in the Internet gradually disappeared, and I gradually lost contact with him.
Last year, I saw that he began to frequently update posts in the community. Through the translation, I probably knew that his money was defrauded by a so-called pension insurance company. There were tens of thousands of people who had the same experience as him, and the economic loss was about 139 trillion. .
He wrote in the post: Their propaganda claims that they are endorsed by the government, and the more insurance users buy at one time, the larger the insurance amount. If stored as a regular period, there will be a 30% return after ten years, if not taken out, the expected return will double on the new way from the date of retirement. They signed a contract with an insurance company, and many people paid all their savings at the time, which was a huge profit. Even if it took a long time, it seemed to be worthy of their trust and expectation.
When I first saw this figure, I was stunned. In my life, I have rarely come across examples of using “trillion” as the unit of measurement. Even if it is converted into RMB, I still think it is an astronomical figure.
After five years of operation, the insurance company ran away. At first only a few people discovered it, and then more and more people knew about it. They surrounded the police station and talked about their experiences and losses one after another, but the police only made a part of the transcript and made excuses to drive them away. The reason is very simple, they signed a contract with the insurance company and should go to court to sue.
Some people filed petitions impatiently, but what they waited for was the court’s dismissal of the lawsuit, because the contract agreed otherwise on the method of dispute resolution.
They started marching, sit-ins, and held banners in front of the Fuli City Hall, calling on Fuli City to pay attention to their legal rights.
At first, the Fuli City Government set up a special working group to connect with the person in charge they elected. After calculating the approximate economic losses, they told them to go home and wait. New progress will be announced through the media in time. But after more than half a year, there is still no substantial progress in this matter disclosed, so some policyholders could not sit still, and called the policyholders through social media to petition outside the gate of the city government again.
In October last year, hundreds of people gathered around the gate, holding black-on-white banners, demanding an immediate solution from the Fuli city government, and even calling on Fan Mingzheng to participate in the investigation. Perhaps because the influence was too great, a large number of riot police quickly gathered in the square. They held shields and formed a human wall to surround the insured who came. However, there was no conflict between the two sides.
On the afternoon of October 7, both sides in the deadlock looked a little tired. Some policyholders wanted to leave, but were blocked, which slowly turned into a skirmish. Later, the riot police gave way, and the military police who rushed in began to arrest the policyholders who participated in the sit-in. They used pepper water, tear gas, and even batons on those who resisted.
“I always thought this kind of thing wouldn’t happen to us,” he replied with a sad look after receiving my greeting.
When I just pasted this sentence into the translation, he added another sentence: “I thought this kind of thing happened only in Gwangju, or only in that era. More than 40 years have passed, no Thinking of this happening to me.”
I asked him, “Why don’t you go to Hanoi to petition?”
“It seems that Fuli City is not far from Hanoi, but in fact we can’t even get out of the provincial capital.” He soon sent a second message – at the scene that day, our mobile phone signal was interrupted, then At that time, maybe no one in the world knew what was going on outside the gate of Fuli City Government.
After listening to his words, I don’t know what to say. Although it’s not my money, but if I really want to comfort him, I always feel that all the words I can say are actually insignificant. I seem to be casually flipping through his posts. There are all kinds of people in the pictures, but their expressions are all heavy and depressed.
He wrote at the end: I don’t know what Vietnam will look like in the end. Since 2016, I always feel that the air we breathe is getting more and more tense, and the stronger and stronger cult of personality begins to shrink our words and thoughts, They habitually use all kinds of chaos in the outside world to decorate the peace in the country. It’s not that they can’t see us, but they don’t know when we started to stand on the opposite side of each other.
