Quotations
The size of the protest in Suixian County is extraordinary, but it is not an isolated phenomenon. Recently, farmers from the villages of Chenglao and Wenlou have been detained in the city of Zhumadian, where they went to press local officials for more help.Wenlou, the only village in Henan that the government has acknowledged by name to have an AIDS problem, has become something of a showcase for the disease, its AIDS victims visited by officials from Beijing and given a clinic and a modicum of free medical care.But villagers say the drugs dispensed there are worthless against their disease, and at the end of November eight villagers with H.I.V. marched into the Zhumadian health office and refused to leave without a promise of more help.
