Cheated on seeds, deprived of justice, Chinese farmer takes his life news.yahoo.com A crystal chandelier dangled from a gold ceiling in a private dining room. The officials ordered one course after the other — Beijing duck, a delicate mushroom soup, vegetables plucked from the mountains, ox tripe and sea plants, a large fish, spices and sweets — costing more than most villagers make in a month. A man who was introduced as Tian Zhong of the Chinese Communist Party propaganda department said that one shouldn't listen to what the farmers said, that they didn't know anything. In fact, Peng's own wife probably didn't even know what her husband's gender was, Tian said to guffaws at the table as the officials gorged themselves on more than a dozen dishes brought to the table by a pretty young waitress. "He's just a farmer," Tian said of Peng, as he picked food from his teeth. "He doesn't know what he was talking about."
