Chongqing petitioner Zhang Cuiying says her daughter has been incommunicado since being sent to a psychiatric hospital in 2024; her October 1 online posts were censored on WeChat
According to an October 3 report by the rights news outlet Minsheng Guancha, Zhang Cuiying, a resident of Fengdu County, Chongqing, continues to petition over the medical condition and personal safety of her daughter Zhang Jinbao. Zhang says her daughter suffered serious bodily harm after being beaten by classmates on campus in 2013 and underwent long-term treatment thereafter; in November 2024, the daughter was sent to the Fengdu County psychiatric hospital by unidentified personnel and has since lost contact with the outside world. Zhang has been asking the authorities to let her daughter receive treatment and restore contact with the outside world. On October 1 she posted articles and information about her daughter online, but the content was subsequently blocked and censored by the WeChat platform.
Why it matters
This is a long-running petition case centered on disputed psychiatric detention: it spans from a 2013 campus assault to a 2024 psychiatric-hospital admission, touching on medical treatment, the legal basis for the admission and the family's right to know; the censorship of the petitioner's October 1 online posts makes it even harder for outsiders to follow the case. It must be stressed that the public information available comes mainly from Zhang Cuiying herself and rights media; there is no complete official account of the daughter's current physical condition, the legal basis for her admission, or how the authorities have handled the matter. This site has not independently verified the claims — hence the 'under ongoing verification' grading.
Full report
According to an October 3 report by Minsheng Guancha, Zhang Cuiying, a resident of Fengdu County, Chongqing, continues to petition over the medical condition and personal safety of her daughter Zhang Jinbao. Zhang has long claimed that her daughter suffered serious bodily harm after being beaten by classmates on campus in 2013 and underwent long-term treatment thereafter. Citing her account, the report says that in November 2024, Zhang Jinbao was sent to the Fengdu County psychiatric hospital by unidentified personnel and has since lost contact with the outside world. Zhang has been asking the authorities to let her daughter receive treatment and restore contact with the outside world. [1]
On October 1, Zhang posted articles and information about her daughter's situation online, hoping the authorities would resolve the matter, but the content was subsequently blocked and censored by the WeChat platform. Zhang continues to seek solutions through the internet and other channels, while the censorship of her recent posts makes it even harder for outsiders to learn what happens next. [1]
Verification note: this record documents the verifiable public act — Minsheng Guancha's report on Zhang Cuiying's petitioning. The case spans a long period with many links (campus assault, medical treatment, family petitions, psychiatric-hospital admission); the public information available comes mainly from Zhang Cuiying herself and rights media. There is no complete official account in public channels of the daughter's current physical condition, the legal basis for her admission, or the authorities' handling of the matter. The allegations still require further verification, and this site will continue to follow up. [1]
