The Desperate Plea for Help from Ni Tengyu’s Mother: To Save My Wrongfully Imprisoned Son, I Have Been Driven to the Brink!
The Anti-Fraud Center in Jincheng, Shanxi, has once again illegally frozen the bank card I am using! The money in it consists of legal fees I raised by borrowing everywhere and exhausting my family’s savings to seek justice for my son, Ni Tengyu, as well as the basic living expenses on which I depend for survival. Now I cannot withdraw a single penny, and my life has fallen into complete desperation.
In 2019, the Guangdong authorities illegally arrested my son Ni Tengyu, who was only 19 at the time, subjected him to brutal interrogations, framed him as the principal culprit in the “Vulgar Wiki case” on “fabricated” charges, and sentenced him to 14 years in prison (he remains incarcerated to this day; search “Ni Tengyu” on Google for details). For more than six years, I, his mother, have exhausted my family’s savings and changed lawyers 15 times in total, solely to clear my son’s name, only to face frenzied retaliation from those in power: my source of income was completely cut off, my relatives and friends were threatened and implicated, and I myself was attacked, poisoned, and harassed multiple times...
To evade the Anti-Fraud Center’s close surveillance, I was forced to borrow bank cards from relatives and friends to maintain the bare minimum of living expenses. Today, I urgently needed money and rushed to an ATM to make a withdrawal, only to be shocked to discover that this card had been frozen by the Jincheng authorities. Upon investigation, it was indeed the Jincheng Anti-Fraud Center that had deliberately taken action and quickly frozen the card. Its purpose was to coordinate with the Guangdong Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Shanghai’s Yang Ye (a servant of a certain high-ranking powerful figure) to carry out joint, cross-provincial persecution against me!
Since the beginning of this year, the Jincheng authorities’ suppression has undergone a systematic escalation: the Anti-Fraud Center has repeatedly frozen my son’s father’s mobile phone number without cause, causing all telephone and internet functions to malfunction and seriously damaging his business; the Jincheng Domestic Security Brigade has continued for years to threaten my relatives and friends, forcing them to sever all contact with me, and has even incited family members to “keep a close watch” on him and prohibit any assistance. Even more outrageous, they once attempted to fabricate evidence and kidnap me across provincial borders!
These ironclad facts prove that certain leaders in Jincheng have formed a close collusion with the Guangdong Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Shanghai’s Yang Ye, planning, organizing, and coordinating the ongoing persecution of my son and me locally, while cloaking it in a “legal” guise and attempting to drive me completely to my death in a “silent and imperceptible” manner.
Now, the money in this card is completely inaccessible. If the Jincheng authorities freeze it completely, I will lose my last source of livelihood. At that point, I, a mother driven into a desperate corner, will have no choice but to travel personally to Jincheng and engage in a final, most determined fight to the death with the authorities persecuting me!
Who will save a mother who has been driven to the brink while seeking justice for her son? Please share, please pay attention, please lend a helping hand! The injustice suffered by Ni Tengyu must no longer be concealed by silence!

Chow Hang-tung: Statement of Plea
The author rejects a 206-page judgment that, they argue, treats belief in ending one-party dictatorship as unconstitutional and criminal. They say law cannot control thoughts, condemn obedience to authoritarian power, and describe ending one-party dictatorship as a responsibility of Hong Kong and Chinese people. The author refuses to apologize for these beliefs, accepts possible imprisonment, and vows to continue pursuing democracy, accountability for the 1989 massacre and a democratic Hong Kong and China.
