Why China Turned a Murder Suspect Into a Folk Hero
.
Why did millions of Chinese people side with a fugitive instead of the police?
After Xia Fugang disappeared into the cornfields of Henan, a massive manhunt began. But instead of helping authorities, many ordinary people cheered him on, left supplies, shared police movements, and later boycotted pears from Luohe after an informant helped capture him.
This is not really a story about pears. It is a story about collapsing trust, public anger, and why so many people saw a murder suspect as the little guy defying the system.
