His son is 30 years old. Since the new house has not been repaired, he has not married a wife until now.”

Insiders said that Ou Jinzhong is kind and has done a lot of good deeds in the past. He once saw righteousness at the beach and rescued a little boy. “I didn’t expect him to kill.”

Ou Jinzhong has repeatedly asked for help from the official website and posted on social media for help

According to the “Beijing News” report, Ou Jinzhong had repeatedly sought help from local governments at all levels, including villages, towns, districts, and cities, and petition departments, but no one had ever asked. A cigarette case provided by his relatives and friends showed that he recorded all the help information he could find on it, such as the contact information of news organizations at all levels and public security, procuratorate, etc., but he did not receive any help until the bloody incident occurred.

Since January this year, I have frequently asked for help online. On June 11 this year, the suspect, Ou Jinzhong, used his real name to report to the public security department and ask for help as an ordinary netizen.

Earlier, on May 28, Ou Jinzhong posted a help message on social platforms that he had “requested help from multi-level departments many times to no avail” because “individual cadres acted as an umbrella for their own interests and did not act as a protective umbrella, calling village tyrants. Come and smash and stop me from building a house.”

As early as January 13 this year, Ou Jinzhong posted on social media for help, “I hope everyone can tell me where I can go to appeal. The petition bureaus in the province and the city have already petitioned, and there is no response. Please everyone. Refers to the clear road.”

According to Ou Jinzhong’s self-reported information in the help message, in 2017, after he went through the procedures for the construction of a dilapidated house, he demolished the original house of more than 400 square meters and the front and rear yards, and built a temporary residence of 150 square meters on the spot. Ou Jinzhong said that in the process of building a new house, he was repeatedly beaten and stopped by nearby villagers. “Even though the old house has been demolished, the proof of the new construction has already been done. The village tyrant refused to let it be built. As soon as the excavator started, he stood in front of the car and clamored for beating…I have lived in my family for more than 20 years. (Village tyrant) said the land belongs to their house…”
