wen bu: Ok. so i don't think i have anything to say.

Chu hua: if you don't give me information, i can't help you.

who knows chao mi is alive and being tortured somewhere.

if you give me information through which i can prove it was your act and misunderstanding of government had made the condition in xingjian worse. we can save not only chao mi but a number of family.

wen bu: i didn't killed 14 han chinese, i killed 30 out of these 14 in xingjiang region.

why i killed them is not my story it is a story of a girl li min.

Beijing 1980, a 9 year old girl li min, everyday used to ask her mother when will be baby came at home.

but one month before delivery her mother get sick. 

many doctor check up the mother and all said she is fine. no physical sickness , but in severe stress.

one day when she was waiting for her father outside her school, his uncle came and took her to his house.

in the evening, when she came to her house and meet her mother. 

her mother told god liked baby very much so he took baby with him. 

li min(crying) : i hate god. i hate god.

her mother embraced her.

after few week her mother passed away. she was raised by her father.

when she turned 16 her father expired and she become alone.

after her father dead she got a diary from his almirah. 

she used to spend her time with diary, but still she felt loneliness. 

her loneliness changed her a lot. she start criticizing things, government policies and lot more

chu hua's phone rang.

Chu hua: it's 6 o'clock. lets end the session and start again on next week.

chu hua left the prison.

prison officer: bastard wen bu date is gone, put him back to prison cell.

prison guard 1: date? what a joke sir.

prison officer: don't you look they meet every week in a closed room. we are not police officer, we are here to guard them as a dating agent 

after leaving prison officer

prison guard 1: why sir was so angary with Ms chu hua.

prison guard 2: don't you know he tried to propose ms chu hua and she humiliated him.

32 session:

Chu hua: its's 10 am. lets continue the story and we have enough time today so let complete it today.

wen bu: year 1987, li min with his uncle visited Beijing orphanage. 

it was the first time i met li min. they adopted me.

i got my own home and a girl who took care of me more than anything else. 

i don't know how mother took care of their children. but i know li min is more than mother to me.

 li min was a bright student of history. 

she got selected in annual universities festival to gave speech on freedom as everyone knows in past china was controlled by many foreign powers.

on her speech day she surprised everyone present there.

li min speech: i am here to talk on freedom in context of china's past. but what is past, is past, we can't change it.  so i am going to talk on what we can change freedom of consciousness. but before that i want to know how many of you think you have freedom.(hand raised by all the audience)

have you ever been in zoo. where animals are kept in cages. they got food and all the item of their need on time. 

they do whatever they like. this is their freedom. but they can do things of their like within cage. a cage that restrict their freedom.

we are not different from those zoo animal, the only difference is we have invisible cage with a very large area because of largeness and  invisibleness most of us don't realize this cage. and this non-realization gives a false sense of freedom. 

we can't criticize the government policies which we don't like

we can't even decide how many children we want to have and we think we are free.

think of a moment when you tried to do something good but didn't done because of some policies, rues, etc. 

how many of you still think you have freedom(no hand raised).

after her speech, soon she became the voice of democracy in beijing. she got support from foreign resident Chinese. many democratic supporter published her pamphlets and made her the voice of democracy in china.

in year 1989, she lead the protest of student for democracy at tiananmen square. 

within short span of time, the whole protest became so much irritating to the government that they send the army with gun, artillery, tankers.

army fired hundred round on li min and this is the day when voice of democracy got killed in china.

this was the second time when government made me orphan. 

chu hua: what do you mean by second time?

wen bu: oh! i forgot to tell you whose diary li min got from almirah. 

it was her mother's diary. 

in the year 1980, when li min was eagerly waiting for her sibling, government launched one child policy. li min father silently dropped the born child to an orphanage. li min mother knows only one thing about born child a birthmark on forehead. 

it take times to li min find his brother. 

when she got killed, i was just 9 year old boy. i was completely blackout what to do with those who did this.

over the years i made myself ready to take revenge, i listed out army officer involved in tiananmen square massacre.

those 14 person whom i killed in Xingjian where retired army officer part of tiananmen square massacre.

chu hau: so this is all the story, but i am surprised how chao mi is connected with you or this story.

wen bu: she was not part of this story. during my stay at xingjian i was paying guest at her house. 

they were leading peaceful protest at the same time when i killed those person. this made the situation worse and government send army to xingjian. 

i don't want that anyone get hurt by my work so i confessed my crime in front of xingjian police. 

from there i transferred to military prison and then this prison.

 

prison officer enter the premises.

prison officer: where are the love birds?

prison guard: sir they were in session room from morning 10 am. looks like today is going to happen something great.

prison officer: why not we are here as a dating agent.
