Xu Wu Standing in Front of Bullet Train after Escaping from Mental Hospital
Xu Wu, once an employee of a steel company in Wuhan, Hubei Province, had been petitioning Beijing attempting but failing to get satisfaction in a financial dispute, between the company where he had been employed, when he was abducted and confined in a mental hospital being mistreated for 4 years—Eight days after he escaped from the asylum, Xu was arrested thousands of miles from his home and has been thrown back into the asylum without explanation.
Xu Wu is a Wuhan native and had worked as a Firefighter for Wuhan Iron & Steel Co before 2004 believing that he was a victim of unequal pay he filed suit to collect back wages, while the company wanted to settle with Xu, he refused their offer because he wanted to prevail in court with dignity.
After Xu’s complaint was dismissed, he appealed–on a day in December, 2006 the moment he stepped out of Peking University, he was arrested by Wuhan Police and escorted back to the local public security office. Police convinced Xu that if he claimed that he suffered from a mental illness, that he would be released, however his compliance landed him in a mental hospital affiliated with Wuhan Iron & Steel Co
