Hunan Dissident Peng Peiyu Experiences Excessive Medical Treatment at Hunan Shaodong People's Hospital and Publicly Appeals to Shaodong Party Secretary Li Guojun
On April 23, 2026, this outlet learned that Mr. Peng Peiyu, a Hunan dissident, went to Hunan Shaodong People's Hospital for examinations and treatment in April 2025 because of a bitter and dry mouth. After nearly a year of treatment through March 2026, his bile acid level rose from 3.7 times above the standard value to 11 times the standard value. His condition not only failed to improve but worsened, causing extreme anxiety, severely reduced sleep quality, and serious damage to his health. Having no other recourse, Mr. Peng Peiyu used AI to search for a recommended treatment medication, ursodeoxycholic acid, and after taking it for less than a week, his bitter-mouth symptoms improved noticeably.
Mr. Peng Peiyu has long paid attention to the livelihood issues of the Chinese people and spoken out publicly against injustice. He is deeply distressed by the dark practices in China's medical sector: inaction, reckless medication use, and the willingness to sacrifice patients' health in pursuit of financial gain. In mainland China, the people are suffering unbearably⋯⋯ With no other recourse, he spoke out publicly online, directly appealing to Shaodong Party Secretary Li Guojun.
