Shengyou (simplified Chinese: 绳油; traditional Chinese: 繩油; pinyin: Shéngyóu) is a village in Kaiyuan (开元), south of Dingzhou City in Hebei, China.[1][2]

History

[edit]

On the night of April 20, 2005, and later in the early morning of June 11, 2015, occurred incidents in which over two hundred allegedly hired thugs descended on the village and clashed with local residents over a land dispute with a nearby power company. Seven people were killed, and 48 others were injured and hospitalized, eight of whom were in critical condition.[3] The chaos was captured on video by one of the farmers and later released by The Washington Post.
