The Dahe News, a newspaper in Zhengzhou, the capital of central China's Henan Province, reported in its April 28 edition a ghastly murder case which had occurred in Renhua County, of South China's Guangdong Province.

OVER the Chinese New Year I returned with my then three-month-old son to Shanghai where I have been living on and off for the past two years.
