Woman Beaten to Death at McDonald’s for Refusing to Give Her Phone Number [GRAPHIC, UPDATED]

Posted: 05/30/2014 9:27 pm

[This story contains violent and graphic images that may offend some readers]

UPDATE: Several of the details provided here are out of date, and have been compiled in another story, “McDonald’s Cult Leader Gets TV Interview, More Details of Deadly Attack Emerge“]

This is a terrible story, and does not end well.

Miss Wu has out having dinner at McDonald’s on May 28 in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province.

Mr Zhang was also at that McDonald’s. Zhang was there having dinner with his friends, and upon seeing Wu, Zhang asked her for her phone number. Wu refused, and perhaps because he had lost face in front of his friends, Zhang may not have reacted well to this rejection.

An argument broke out. Then, a physical dispute. Then, all of Zhang’s friends joined in. They beat her, violently. As described by a Weibo user named @无主蜜桃 who was an eyewitness, Zhang and his friends kicked her in the head when Wu was lying on the ground. Then, they used an iron bar to strike her head. They continued until the iron bar broke.

Emergency responders confirmed that Wu died at the scene. Except for this very brief and violent conflict, Wu and Zhang were total strangers.

The Weibo eyewitness describes this incident occurring from 9:10pm to 9:30pm. The McDonald’s is located across the street from a local police station.

No one was reported to have tried to help the victim.

Here is some live video at the scene, but it is very shaky and does not show many details. However, it does align with what a number of bystanders said they saw.

UPDATE 11:52am May 31, 2014. The People’s Daily Online has a very different take on this story, reporting the six people involved in the attack as all part of an “evil cult” who were trying to enlist a new member.

Of the people arrested, one is still a minor and can’t be charged as an adult. The rest will be charged with intentional homicide.

CCTV reports that the attackers had warned spectators to refrain from intervening by saying, “We’ll kill anyone who gets involved!” as well as saying horrible things to the victim like “[once I kill you,] you’ll never come back in the next life”.

Let me tell you something, as far as we know, the attackers all believe in a cult called 全能教(Quan Neng Jiao/all-powerful), which is a twist branch of Christianity in China, and these crazy attackers think that it’s powerful and everyone who doesn’t believe it is devil. This CULT is ILLEGAL in CHINA, They asked somebody in MacDonald for their phone number to do missionary, some people gave it to them and the victim refused to give, so the attackers went insane and thought the victim was devil who doesn’t believe 全能教, and then punched the victim, that is why they were screaming “Demon” and “Go to hell“ in the video. It kind of like radical Islam somehow, and it’s very crazy. At least one boy tried to help but failed against 6 attackers so they called the police. Now this is the headline on media in China, the attackers are under arrest, almost every Chinese are paying close attention to this and the attackers have no way to escape sanctions. The thing I’m worried about is they may ask for the psychiatric evaluation… Please forgive my poor English and I just want to say some facts. We hate those bastard!!!

  Great comment opps! CCTV reported about it. At first I thought they might be Muslims (again) because they often do such bad things, then i made research and found out they are Christians. CCTV calls them Almighty God cult members. It is pitiful that no one of these McDonalds fags helped this woman. May the 5 thugs face the death penalty! Regards from europe!

      I know everyone is proud of their race and religion but i think OPPS doesnt mean it in the wrong way.. what she is trying to say is overly obsessed believers thinking they are doing the right thing yet obviously they are the ones who is in the wrong.

  jeez… I’m Korean but it’s really saddening to see that the person who’s video taping is not helping the victim out and anybody else is just watching and letting the scene happen. That is ridiculous. I knew even before watching this video it would be quite insecure and unsafe to be in china but after seeing this, I’m quite afraid to visit and do business in china now…poor lady

    Salam brother, why must u feel so angry? In my last sentence did i mentioned that dont simply judge or relate it to any religion? People nowdays easily think bad about ISLAM (either sunni or syiah) In this matter, although it happens in China and the killer was chinese but why they must bring up ISLAM? Yes, my english is poor but atleast i want to say something. ISLAM didnt teach us to say bad things or curse among each other especially towards muslim,wallahualam..Salam.

There is no human right in china… Always impossible accident happened
- Pharenheit
  
  What ever you want to say about human rights in China you can bet that these criminals will be punished faster and most likely harsher than in the west with their cripplingly drawn out judicial system that often lets murderers escape life sentences with it’s many loop holes. Especially considering these people are purported to be affiliated with a recognized cult.

  Don,t know what you mean,this is a rare accident,whole coutry angry about this,most of chinese kind to eachother,have you been in china before？
  - Chris Devonshire-Ellis
    
    It’s not a “rare accident”. That’s total denial. You’ve had bombs in Yunnan, Xinjiang and Tibet this past two months. And I have lived in China for 25 years. Probably longer than you have, AWEE. The Han Chinese cannot simply continue to blame all this on non-Han influences.
    - AWEE
      
      Thinking about this for days, we can accept and understand the Xinjiang accidents happen cause those are something about country and out of control by ordinary people. But Shandong accident happened in a more center province, like you said han-Chinese, and the reason seems so meaningless. I have been in Taiwan for months, and they can holding a open concert for near million people,it can’t be imaged in China, our government may use a wrong way to their people in this aspect. However, violent issue is not a China specific feature, it also happen in Taiwan, USA… There is unfair things in China, we hope it can getting better in the future.

BEIJING — Police in eastern China say six members of a religious cult have been arrested over the beating death of a woman at a McDonald’s restaurant.

The Zhaoyuan police department said Saturday that the accused allegedly attacked the woman after she refused to tell them her phone number.

It said the six belonged to a group calling itself the “All-powerful spirit” and had been collecting phone numbers in an effort to recruit new members.

Zhaoyuan is in Shandong province, a traditional hotbed for religious cults that gave birth to the violent anti-Christian Boxer movement that laid siege to Western interests in Beijing and elsewhere during the waning years of the Qing dynasty in 1900.The religious material had been found at a location linked to the sect.

these people are a family of 5! dad, two daughters and a son of only 14 years old! and they all joined in on the beating/killing… death penalty!

Blaming it on a foreign religion instead of the appalling lack of morals in China is a neat way for the entire Chinese society to say “It wasn’t us, everything is fine here with us Chinese. It was fanatical Muslims and Christians who did it”. Talk about the mass evasion of social responsibility. Breathtaking.

The Chinese, sure don’t like getting in other peoples business… of all the staff and customers, they couldn’t unite as a group and dish out justice on those fools…
…
I would rather fight and save that woman, or die with her in there… Than live the rest of my life, than live the rest of my life, knowing that I let that woman die… Imagine if you’re the one in that situation…
- ThereIveSaidIt
  
  Look at the rest of the Chinese videos you see online. They very rarely stop to help. It could be an overturned bus full of school kids on the freeway and everyone just drives right around. This kind of collective inhumanity has been a symptom of every communist country in history.

What the hell is WRONG with the Chinese? In video after video posted online, we see them doing NOTHING to help their fellow human beings in desperate situations. Horrific car crash? Everyone just drives right on. If this happened anywhere in the West, you can guarantee that other people would have intervened if they saw a young woman being beaten with an iron bar. They’re in a fast food restaurant, go get a meat cleaver, a knife, anything, and hack those sub-human savages until they stop! But noooo…..they stand around and watch and film it on their cellphones until her brains are spilled all over the floor. It takes a stunning lack of humanity to stand around and do nothing while this is happening.

This poor women had nothing or no one to defend her from sick religious nuts. And this could easily happen to any women or man in the U.S. We have to maintain the right to protect ourselves, not the police or any one standing by will come to your aide before you start bleeding to death. Imagine the hopeless feeling you would have while you were still conscience. No, we must be allowed to protect ourselves from the growing random violence here and abroad.
- Jay Syle
  
  I disagree with you, this can’t happen in the U.S. or in most countries… But you’re right on the protection part… There are so many wicked people out there… If everyone with a good background check was to carry a concealed fire-arm, a lot of lives will be lost initially over trivial issues, but on the long run… The society will be safer…

everyone who stood by and watched or videoed this should be punished for aiding and abetting the crime. Its disgusting that people can just stand there and watch a woman get beaten to death! absolutley disgusting!
http://scallywagandvagabond.com/ scallywag

On one hand it’s tempting to blame the belligerence of religious dogma that led to the deadly assault and yet one has to also be aware of the degree of general apathy in society which persistently counts for the mass evasion of social responsibility and consciousness in China….

This is one of the saddest and most disturbing things I’ve seen in my life. I don’t know what’s saddest, the poor girls awful death, or the fact that not 1 single person tried to defend her. People are total cowards today. Not only do they not try to help the victim, but they all stand there filming the appalling scene with their mobile phones. Personally I think each one of them should hang themselves. I couldn’t live with the shame of that. And it’s not the first time we’ve seen this. Last year in London, when the 2 Islamists hacked the off-duty soldier to death in broad daylight on a busy street we saw the same thing. Again not 1 person tried to help him, and again they all just stood there filming his death on their mobiles. What the hell has happened to people today? I am absolutely certain that if that had happened 60 years ago, every man on that street would have ran to his defence, even at great peril to themselves.
