牛腾宇母亲:今天我再次踏上了前往广东的路途
Today, I have once again set out for Guangdong.
Driven to the brink by the dual pressures of financial hardship and family, I truly cannot continue enduring this torment where I am and can only choose to leave. Even if the Guangdong Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission uses every means this time to obstruct and harm me, I will still proceed without hesitation. Because I know very well that in the face of layer upon layer of persecution, evasion will only be seen as weakness and will only invite even more brutal suppression. Only by confronting them head-on might there be a glimmer of hope, and only then might it be possible to seek justice for my son.
The Guangdong Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the servant of a certain high-ranking Chinese power figure behind it—Yang Ye (Shanghai)—as well as those public officials colluding with them, have been scheming against me in secret, hoping that I will collapse completely. But this time, I am afraid they will be disappointed. Not only will I not collapse, I will stand up again and again! Bearing pain all over my body and an unyielding will, I have once again embarked on the road of seeking redress. One poisonous scheme after another, and one frame-up and obstruction after another, have all come to nothing before me. No matter how they seal things off, apply pressure, spread rumours, or create difficulties, I will not be defeated. Because I am a mother, and for my wronged son, I am willing to give everything, including my life.
During this trip to Guangdong, I will continue to speak out, seek help, and appeal without giving up. I want more people to see the truth and want justice no longer to be buried in dust. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, I will continue, taking one step at a time. As long as my son Niu Tengyu's wrongful conviction remains unredressed, my struggle will not stop for a single day.
Thank you to all the friends and people of conscience who have quietly supported me all this time. It is precisely your strength that has allowed me to stand up again in the darkest moments. I hope everyone will continue to pay attention and continue speaking out for us. The truth will ultimately come to light before the whole world.
I have stood up; I have set out again. To those who hope to see me fall, please continue to be disappointed.
This time I have also brought Niu Tengyu's minor brother with me. Originally, I did not want the child to travel around with me seeking redress, but they have driven me to the point where there is no way out—even the child's relatives are cooperating with those shameless people. While I am in Guangdong seeking redress, they are unwilling to take him in even for a few days. They even called me an idiot, saying that in order to save money I could throw the child away. Who exactly is the idiot? Those who cooperate with the devil—if they help harm me to death, they will be discarded once they are no longer useful!
I will not do as you want.
I will not let them have their way. They cannot isolate me, because God is with me, and tens of millions of champions of justice are walking alongside me!

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.
