...March gives an indication of the suspicion with which the chengguan are held by average citizens. Hundreds of people surrounded the van, shouted at its occupants and even attempted to turn the vehicle over. "Many of them stood up for us, accusing the thugs of beating a defenseless old woman," says Yuan. It was only around 6 p.m., seven hours after the clash began, that the crowd allowed the van to escape...
