Rape in China: A Nightmare for 26 Pupils

XINJI, China - The teacher always sent a girl to buy his cigarettes. He left the class unsupervised and waited in his office. When the girl returned to class with flushed cheeks and tousled hair, the other students said nothing.
For nearly three months the teacher, Li Guang, raped 26 fourth- and fifth-grade girls in this rural village, parents and court officials say. Some girls were raped more than once as Mr. Li attacked them in a daily rotation. He was found out when a 14year-old refused to go to school for fear that the next morning would be her "turn." She did not want to be raped a third time.
"School is where our children learn," said Cheng Junyin, the mother of the 14-year-old. "We thought it was the safest place for them."
It is the sort of horrific case that in many countries would be a national scandal but in China has disappeared into the muffled silence of state censorship. That silence matches the silence at the heart of the case: the fact that students considered a teacher so powerful that they did not dare speak out.
Indeed, even as the conventions of Chinese society are being shaken by the tumult of modernization, the Confucian reverence of teachers remains strong, particularly in isolated areas like this farming village in Gansu Province in western China. Parents grant teachers carte blanche, some even condoning beatings, while students are trained to honor and obey teachers, never challenge them.
"The absolute authority of teachers in schools is one of the cultural reasons that teachers are so fearless in doing what they want," said Yang Dongping, a leading expert on China's education system.
Yet modernization has helped drive many teachers away from the poorest areas like Gansu. Low pay in rural areas and better opportunities in cities have caused teacher shortages in many poor areas. One study found that 35 percent of village teachers leave within three years.
Poorer schools are left to hire cheaper teachers, many of them only marginally qualified, a trend that has coincided with a string of sexual abuse cases. Mr. Yang believes that rapes are rare, far less common than beatings, but he noted that in 2003 the Education Ministry published a list of 10 cases in which teachers had raped students.
In December 2003 a teacher in rural Shaanxi Province was executed for raping 58 girls in 15 years. Last October a teenage girl in rural central China tried to commit suicide after a teacher forced her to watch him rape her cousin.
Mr. Li, 28, may go on trial by the end of June, according to a court official in Dingxi, the city where the case will be heard. If he is convicted he will face a prison term of at least 10 years, or possibly the death penalty.
Local education officials as well as prosecutors refused to be interviewed about the case, other than to confirm that the trial would be forthcoming. China's state-controlled news media have remained silent, except for a short initial newspaper article that reported Mr. Li's arrest.
But a visit to this village found families who vented their anger at such a violation of trust. The village is nearly six hours from the provincial capital, Lanzhou, the last three hours on a dirt road through the mountains. The hilltop ruins of old fortifications are reminders that clans once ruled this remote land. .
Farming is the primary livelihood, although it provides only subsistence for some families, who often delay sending a child to school to avoid the fees. Girls are usually the first to be kept home, and some do not start school until age 9 or 10. Mr. Li's fourth-grade class had about 50 pupils, of whom about 26 were girls, with ages ranging from 10 to 14. In all, the school has more than 900 students, drawn from nearby villages.
Zhang Shengxia, at 10, was one of the youngest girls in Mr. Li's fourth-grade class and, as it happened, one of the luckiest. She said the rapes began last fall as the teacher selected girls, one after the other. The girls talked to one another about what was happening but did not dare tell anyone else.

| It's not often that I hope somebody will be raped repeatedly in jail but this is one of those times. Death's too good for him. |

The sick bastard should'nt be quartered. He should be hung drawn and then quartered! But then again I'm against the death penalty as it is the easy way out for these kinds of scumbags. These kinds of scum make me very angry  |

| Trussed up and placed at the doorstep of a colony of amazonian army ants, with a few knife slashes to get those monstrous insects appetite started. Reduced to a skeleton within 3 days, I believe. |

| If this is a capital offense, I believe that China's preferred method of execution is a bullet to the back of the head, followed by a bill to the family of the person killed for the cost of the bullet. |

| I say give the mothers of those little girls 10 inch strap ons, tie him to a table face down, and let a mother in for 20 minutes about every 6 hours. Followed by a doctor to patch him up for the next one. |

I still think the army ants is the best one.
Blindfolding the dude then shoving them out of a helicopter is good fun. Especially funny If they don't realise that you're hovering a few feet off the ground. |

i think the bigger issue here is how can this kind of thing be stopped from happening again. there needs to be some fundamental changes to confucianist countries that allow this crap to happen because the perpetrator is a senior member of society. it really pis@#$ me off when i hear about rapes being hushed up like this, it needs to get out in the public, and the losers that do this need to be publicly punished, severely.
oh, and i also hope the guy takes it up the a@# many many times in prison. |
