[Epoch Times, February 12, 2022](The Epoch Times reporters Li Xin’an and Li Jing interviewed and reported) As Beijing held the Winter Olympics, the incident of “Feng County giving birth to eight children” continued to attract public attention at home and abroad. The latest film released by CCTV has once again aroused public doubts.
“Mother of Eight”: Let me go
Yang Mouxia, a rural woman in Dongji Village, Huankou Town, Fengxian County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province (the name was taken by Dong Zhimin), was imprisoned in a broken house by her “husband” Dong Zhimin, who had given birth to at least eight children in 22 years. A child, after the film was exposed, public opinion was shocked. Many netizens broke the news about the shady story of local abduction and trafficking of women, and pointed out that the grassroots government acted as the umbrella for this evil.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the Xuzhou authorities issued four circulars, saying that Yang Xia and Dong Zhimin were “legal couples” who received the government’s subsistence allowances, and finally changed their words to saying that Dong Zhimin and others were suspected of “illegal detention” and “trafficking of women” offense.
According to several official briefings, the case apparently “alarmed” the Ministry of Public Security and the Propaganda Department of the CCP, and even the top CCP officials.
On February 10, the CCP CCTV reported a video of “Feng County gave birth to a woman with eight children”, which once again raised public doubts.
According to a CCTV video, a male doctor told Yang Mouxia, who was lying on the hospital bed, to sleep for a while, just sleep for a while, and sleep for a while.
Yang Mouxia said: Let me go.
But the male doctor asked back: Why is it uncomfortable, tell me. Go to sleep, go to sleep, you’ll be fine in a while.
Immediately afterwards, the next CCTV screen showed that Yang Mouxia had been lying quietly on the bed.
At the end of the CCTV film, a man suspected of being the dean said in an interview with CCTV: When Yang Mouxia was first admitted to the hospital, it was difficult to communicate, and we could not understand what she said. After the treatment, it is possible to communicate easily with the medical staff.
A CCTV reporter asked, “How long will she be treated?” The man said, “One course of treatment is three months, and the results will be seen after one course of treatment.”
In addition, CCTV also used the hospital’s statement to “refute the rumor” that Yang Mouxia’s tongue was cut and his teeth were knocked out.
CCTV broadcasts that the patient is 52 years old and Yang can have 7 children when he is 40 years old?
What attracted public attention was that after the CCTV reporter entered the ward, the camera first focused on the patient’s bedside card, where the age was displayed as “52 years old” and the admission date was “January 29, 2022”.
Regarding CCTV’s display of Yang Mouxia in “Sleeping”, some netizens expressed doubts, believing that it was someone else. The netizen said: If so, isn’t this fooling people?
In addition, some netizens commented: The hospital admission record shot by CCTV news is 52 years old, but Dong Zhimin told the blogger that he was 45 to 46 years old. These two ages are contradictory and cannot be true at the same time, but can be false at the same time.
Why did not announce the age of Yang Mouxia in the four bulletins of Xuzhou? Some netizens believe that there are several reasons: 1. For example, according to the CCTV camera, Yang Mouxia’s hospital bed card shows that he is 52 years old to announce it, and they are worried that public opinion will react strongly again. After all, a woman gave birth to her eighth child at the age of 51, and then gave birth to seven consecutive children after the age of 40. It is an anecdote in the medical profession and will attract the attention of the medical profession all over the world.
2. After Yang Mouxia was abducted to Feng County at that time, when he entered the house at the police station, it was very likely that the persons involved had arbitrarily fabricated his age. After the age was announced, he was worried that the focus of public opinion would point to the police station involved.
3. According to Yang Mouxia’s current appearance and reproductive status, the real age is likely to be less than 40 years old. In this case, Yang Mouxia should have been a minor when he was abducted and trafficked. Increase sympathy for Yang Mouxia, and then accuse the local grassroots of long-term inaction, and even accused of whitewashing criminals for a long time.

Authorities’ four briefings accused of ‘contradictory’
As it was on the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the relevant topics of the case were blocked by the authorities. Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province has issued four notices on the case of “Feng County gave birth to eight children”, but several official “investigation versions” were accused of “inconsistency” and “the more the description is darker.”
On January 28, the official Fengxian County of Xuzhou City issued a notice for the first time in response to the situation reported by netizens that “a woman who was trafficked and gave birth to 8 children was locked in a broken house”. The report stated that Yang Mouxia “was married with Dong Moumin in Huankou Town, Fengxian County in August 1998. There was no abduction and trafficking.” The official first briefing angered public opinion.
On January 30, Fengxian County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province issued the second report on the investigation of “women who gave birth to eight children”. Regarding the origin of Yang Mouxia, the report stated that “Yang Mouxia was taken in by Dong Moumin’s father Dong Mougeng (deceased) when he was begging at the junction of Huankou Town and Shandong Yutai County in June 1998.” Regarding whether Yang Mouxia was abducted, the report stated that “no abduction and trafficking were found.”
Ironically, the notification also emphasized that the authorities provided Dong Moumin’s family with a number of living allowances and government subsidies.
On February 7, the Xuzhou city official issued a notice for the third time, stating that Yang Mouxia, formerly known as “Xiaohuamei” (parents deceased), was from Yagu Village, Fugong County, Yunnan Province. “Xiaohuamei” married in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in 1994. After her divorce in 1996, she returned to Yagu Village. At that time, she showed abnormal speech and behavior. Sang from the same village took “Xiaohuamei” to Jiangsu for treatment. After the two arrived in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province, “Xiaohuamei” went missing. At that time, Sang did not call the police or inform “Xiaohuamei”‘s family.
In this regard, Beijing lawyer Hao Yachao issued a document questioning the Xuzhou report, which is full of loopholes and seriously violates common sense.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the Xuzhou authorities issued the fourth bulletin on February 10. According to the report, after DNA testing and comparison of the relics of Yang Mouxia, Guang Mouying (the half-sister of “Xiaohuamei”) and Pu Mouma (the mother of “Xiaohuamei”, who has passed away), the result is that Pu Mouma and Yang Mouxia and Guang Mouying are in line with the mother-daughter relationship, and they believe that Yang Mouxia is “Xiaohuamei”.
In addition, the report also mentioned that Dong Moumin was suspected of illegal detention, and Sang Mouniu and Shi Mouzhong were suspected of abducting and trafficking in women. These three people have been taken criminal compulsory measures.
After the “Feng County gave birth to eight children” incident, some people recognized that Yang Mouxia was suspected to be Li Ying, the only daughter of Li Dazhong, his comrade-in-arms when he was a soldier in Tibet. Li Ying, 38, was born in Nanchong, Sichuan, and disappeared after school in 1996. Li Dazhong thought of his daughter and became ill and passed away. Someone posted a comparison photo of Li Ying and the mother of eight children on the Internet, and many netizens exclaimed: The two look too similar.
In all four briefings by the Chinese authorities, Li Ying was avoided. Some netizens said that the authorities may be worried that if it is confirmed that Yang Mouxia is Li Ying, it may affect the stability of the military.
Wu Shaoping, a human rights lawyer based in the United States, told The Epoch Times: “Why are the official reports inconsistent? Why didn’t the official reports mention Yang Mouxia’s age or the age at which she was married at the time? Because it involves the missing person in Nanchong, Sichuan. The situation of the girl Li Ying.”
“Judging from the photos, Li Ying and Yang Mouxia are highly similar in appearance. Some people have done a professional comparison and basically determined that the two are the same person. Moreover, some people noticed that Yang Mouxia’s accent is a Sichuan accent, but the official said that She is from Yagu Village, Yunnan, and the accents are very different. Li Dacheng, a relative of Li Ying, came to look for her relatives. Why did the officials avoid talking about Li Dacheng’s request for DNA verification? Obviously, the officials avoided the issue of malfeasance by local officials.” Wu Shaoping the lawyer said.
According to another netizen, “Xuzhou Fengxian Mental Hospital will perform lobotomy on the eighth-child mother tomorrow, making her lose her memory and become a lunatic.” However, the reporter could not verify the authenticity of this news.
