Has Anybody Heard About A Story Named 'A Boy In Red'

Great, I will skim the link you sent to me and to look for any space for update tomorrow morning because I do not know is there any photo in this link. That photo was extremely shocking.

A few years ago, just at the juncture when the story was reported, I have read a few threads from a forum about supernatural events in China. And I have found a few photos about this case. Just a few minutes later, all photos were deleted and I have never seen those photos again consequently.

There are photos...!!!?

Looking forward to what else you might come up with.

If this is your first time post here, you have absolutely highlighted the essence of all our fascinations!

Be prepared for some massive feedback on this!

Separately, might I please enquire where you are posting from, seemingly China or... simply because it would be interesting to know!

:)

Yes, I am in China now so probably I know this story a bit more. If you search for such key words on google, I believe that you could find some. For another, in recent years, some have revealed more information about this event, so I could incorporate what they have presented later.
It seems that you have heard about the story, could you introduce your idea regarding this, such as the motivation of the culprit, and your idea about the ridiculous statement conveyed by the authority.
 
...your idea about the ridiculous statement conveyed by the authority.
What a fascinating story - thank you for bringing it back to our attention.

Presumably you are referring to the, profoundly noticeable, discrepancies between this account and the police explanation.

"Kuang’s body was suspended by his wrists from a wooden beam with both hands and feet firmly bound with 12 knots each, skillfully and professionally tied. Between his feet dangled a weight. Apart from the unusual bonds, and a tiny pinhole on Kuang’s forehead...".


"Banan police [...] concluding within only a month that the death was an 'accident' that had occurred while the boy was playing a 'superstitious game.' They ruled out foul play".
 
There's fantastically insightful case material here:

The link you sent to me does not work because reddit and Quora have been double blocked in China. Even though I could unlock the general block, I could not read anything from the two websites above. So I could not discern what the link involves. But I believe that you can continue to examine this case if you r interested in it. Someone believe this case is one of the top mysteries in this century.
 
A shy loner of a child is forced to wear a dress and humiliated by a gang of other children. It goes too far and he dies. The other children flee the scene.

This seems to be remotely possible. Firstly, there appears not any clue which reflects this. Secondly, police concluded that the death of the boy was suicide and discontinued to examine it. Thirdly, the parents of the boy attempted to look for help from local administrator to investigate this event but were refused without any reason. So, according to existing information, this approach is remotely possible.

Hi 王泥喜法介,

Glad to see you're still around and posting after the boards moved to our new home. I've just been reading over this thread. That really is a curious case. I'm really struggling to understand quite how (given how the boy was found) that suicide was the police conclusion. This does not sound like an unassisted death to me. The pinhole in his forehead, the manner in which the body was hung, that to me does not sound like something which a person could do to themselves. Not set up in the manner the body was discovered.

Even if we were to consider this to be an accident (rather than jumping to a conclusion of murder) which happened while the boy was doing *something* else (be it a game, a form of sexual gratification, or something else) I find it hard to believe that he wasn't being assisted by another person/s.
 
Given that Reddit is locked down for viewing where 王泥喜法介 is, here's most of that second post in text form (removing most of the links which are unlikely to be visible either):


On November, 5 2009 a 13 year old boy named Zhijun Kuang was found dead in the family’s old house. The body was hanging from the wooden beam with both hands and feet tied firmly. The victim was wearing a red dress and a woman’s swimming suit. There was a pinhole on his forehead and a huge weight tied around his feet.

This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever heard of. Almost five years have been past, there are lots of speculations but no final conclusion on how the boy died. Some said the boy’s death is due to sexual asphyxia. For me it looks more like a ritual murder. And the police’s conclusion is death by accident.

First I want to give you some backgrounds of this case. This whole thing happened in a villiage in Chonqing China. The victim was the only son in the family. Before the tragic happened the boy’s parents who were once peasants were working in the north district of the city while the boy was studying at a local boarding school in a small town in the south district. The family usually met together every weekend.

They had an old house in a village not far from the boy’s school. But since no one lived there it had been abandoned for a long time. The house had three doors, one front door, one side door and one back door. The back door was very discreet and blocked by two wooden planks plus one rebar. If you were not familiar with the house you wouldn’t even notice there was a back door.

The villagers said the boy was a nice and sensible boy except for a little introverted. He always went alone. They said they had never seen him playing with other kids. His classmates told the journalist that his favorite book was LiaoZhai which was a very famous ghost-story book in China.

And here is the course of the event.

On October 25 2009, before returning to school the boy told his parents he was going to weed the old house next week. During the following week his parents got no news from him and they started to get worried. On November 3 his father called him and no one answered. He contacted the school but teachers told him the boy had been absent from school for the whole week. The school’s explanation was that due to the outbreak of influenza A they had enough reasons to believe the boy was ill at home. The parents were shocked and totally freak out. They condemned the irresponsibility of the school.



The father immediately went to their old house. He found neither the front door nor the side door would open but the back door was not closed. The two planks and rebar were taken off on the ground. Entering the house he found the boy was hanging from the wooden beam with his hands and feet tied firmly. There was a huge weight tied around his feet. The body was wearing a red dress and a woman’s swimming suit. And there was a pinhole on the forehead. He also found 32 Yuan in the boy’s trouser pocket. The cell phone was still in his school bag. Nothing was missing.

He called the police. On December 3 the police released a report said the death was an accident. They told the father that his son was accidentally killed in some kind of game involving superstition which did not constitute a crime. They decided no to file the case. A journalist called the police to inquire the case but the police refused to talk about it. The father couldn’t accept such answers so he applied for reconsideration on December 11. Ten days later the police told him after a thorough investigation there was no clue of murder or suicide. The result of reconsideration was sustaining the original. The father hired a lawyer and decided to appeal to the people’s procuratorate. I don’t know whether there is a positive result because I didn’t find out any further news about it.

What made my hair stand on end is the detail of the case. Apparently this was not a robbing murder because no property loss. The autopsy showed there was no trauma except the pinhole on the forehead and the marks of rein.

The first abnormality attracted my eyes was the red dress and the woman’s swimming suit. The farther recognized the red dress once belonged to his niece. But there was no clue whose swimming suit was. Two crumpled black cloth was stuffed in the bra to form fake breasts. The mother told the journalist that her son had never shown any signs of transvestism.



The boy was hanging from the wooden beam. But the rope was tied around his hands instead of his neck. The way of tying was very professional with 12 loops on each hand and foot. I have no idea whether a man could make such knots to bind himself by his own.



Why was there a pinhole on his forehead? Was there any kind of sadomasochism involving putting a needle into one’s brain? No idea.

Another creepy thing was that the mother had a weird dream two days before her son’s death. In that dream there was a tall man wearing a hat and carrying a bag who she could only see his back. The mysterious man entered the old house through the back door. She didn’t know who he was. This made her so nervous that she kept asking her husband to go check the old house. At the second day his return, an eighty year old neighbor told him she saw a stranger who was wearing a hat and carrying a bag wandering in the village. And because of that hat the old lay didn’t see his face. Was this just a coincidence?

Reflecting every detail the farther still couldn’t understand why and how his son was dead. If the boy wanted to kill himself why he had made it so complicated. After all drinking pesticide was and is a major way of suicide in Chinese rural area.

The only suspect given by the father was the ex-husband of his wife. The boy’s mother married twice. He was the son of her second marriage. The mother had another child with her ex-husband. When they divorced her ex-husband gained the custody. But that child disappeared many years ago. Her ex-husband firmly believed she hid the child. Three years ago her ex-husband warned her if she would not hand over his child he would take revenge. But there was no evidence to prove this man to be the murderer.

Chinese occultists shared their opinions on the net. The five fundamental elements in Chinese occultism are metal, wood ,water ,fire and earth. The weight represented the metal. The beam represented wood. The swimming suit represented water. The red dress represented fire. Different from the western culture, in Chinese occultism a person has three souls and seven spirits. In my understanding the soul is more like matter. It can be taken out of the body and constrained in a container or another person’s body.

One theory said the motivation of the murder was to cultivate a sinister ghost. The effect of the red dress was to bind the soul. The weight made the soul no way to flee into the earth. The wood had a connection with the life so the beam had an effect to concentrate the soul. The pinhole which was caused by a special needle was used to separate the soul and lead the soul out of body. The woman’s swimming suit plus the age of the boy (13 year) represented a most negative time. This implied the murderer wanted to get a occultism purpose.

Another theory said the motivation of the murder was to break the soul and make it suffer the endless six-path incarnation.

I also found a third theory. In this one the motivation was not to gain the soul nor to break the soul but to prolong someone’s life.

Someone on the internet claimed that it was not an isolated case but a series of killing. They said there were similar cases but I haven’t found any detail information

After reading all these most likely this is a case solved due to autoerotic asphyxiation

seems like the case is resolved as the kid and his friend who is around the same age had been "playing" could translate the book and the journal if wanted

The parts are the red flags to me. I find it hard to believe that if this were a suicide that both hands and feet were tied without assistance, followed by the tying of a weight. It's not impossible, but it all seems a little bit complex to have gotten right on your own.

Was the pinhole an indent skin wound, or a actual hole in the skull? That's less clear.

The choice of attire here is actually a lesser interest to me. Who am I to judge? But those other aspects to me would raise doubt over the assumption of suicide.

Thank you for your response. Exactly, even though I could employ some tools to unlock google and Youtube, Quora and Reddit still remain unavailable on PC.
I will read all what you have posted here and look for whether any new information I could provide.
