We knew Zhu Ling’s story just one week ago although this case has been delayed since 1994. We were totally shocked when we saw this poor poisoning victim. I have no capability to judge who was the murder but I want to write down her misfortune and hope more people could know and pray for her.
The following information directly comes from Wikipedia:
“ In 1994, Zhu Ling was a sophomore in Class Wuhua2 (Class 2 majored in Physical Chemistry) at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Classmates described her as attractive, intelligent, and talented, with an interest in music. She began to show strange and debilitating symptoms at the end of 1994, when she reported experiencing acute stomach pain, along with extensive hair loss. Following her hospitalization at TongRen Hospital, her condition gradually improved and she was allowed to return to school. The following March, however, her old symptoms returned worse than before, this time accompanied by pain in her legs, loss of muscular eye control, and partial facial paralysis. Unable to breathe on her own, she was placed on a respirator.
One physician at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), Dr. Li Shun-wei, reported having diagnosed a similar poisoning case in the 1960s and strongly suspected that Zhu Ling's symptoms were caused by thallium poisoning. However, Zhu Ling denied that she had had any contact with thallium in class, a claim which was confirmed by her university's chemistry department. As a result, her doctors ruled out thallium poisoning as a potential cause. Instead, she was diagnosed with and treated for Guillain–Barré syndrome. Her condition deteriorated rapidly.
Her symptom was sent to Internet via a Usenet newsgroup by her friend from Peking University, Bei Zhicheng and was subsequently proven to be thallium poisoning. Her case was then reviewed by physicians in many different countries who examined her symptoms and made suggestions as to diagnoses and treatment.
This effort was recognized as the first large scale tele-medicine trial. [1] Her life was ultimately saved , but she suffered serious neurological damage and permanent physical impairment.
This case drew great attention of Chinese media, because the victim and the suspect were living in the same dormitory in the best university of China and the case was never solved. Internet discussion of the crime continued since then and became hot topic on major online Chinese communities very frequently as an unsolved case of murder, especially due to the tragedy of Zhu Ling after poisoning and incredible cruelness of the murderer.
The main suspect after police investigation is Sun Wei, who was Zhu Ling's classmate and roommate in Tsinghua University from 1992 to 1997. Tsinghua University also said Sun Wei was the only student who would have had official access to thallium compound among the students with close relationship to Zhu Ling, according to Zhu Ling's lawyer, Zhang Jie. [4] The investigation result of the case was refused by authorities to be released to Zhu Ling's parents after their appealing.[5] However, Tsinghua University denied to issue Sun Wei's B. S. certificate and refused to provide her document needed to get a passport or visa in 1997. It is believed Sun Wei has changed her name to Sun Shiyan.
The case began to draw extensive public attention near the end of 2005, after an ID named "skyoneline" posted on one of the largest Chinese online bulletin boards, Tianya Club, again questioning the innocence of the suspect and her family's role in blocking investigation and prosecution of the case. [6] In response, after over ten years of silence, on December 30, 2005, the main suspect Sun Wei released a statement proclaiming her innocence, which was confirmed by a weekly newspaper, Qingnian Zhoumo after interviewing Sun Wei's father in 2006. [7][8]
According to the statement, the suspect was identified as the only student with official access to thallium in her experiment for undergraduate research. She was detained by the police department on April 2, 1997, and signed a paper acknowledging she was a suspect. Sun Wei's family retrieved her from the police after eight hours of interrogation. In her statement, she also claimed that, according to the law, she was cleared as a suspect in August 1998. However, in a Morning News Post report dated March 2006, Zhu Ling’s lawyer, Zhang Jie said of the suspect, "She was only exempted from the compulsory measure that she was subjected to as a suspect at that time, but not excluded from suspicion."
Internet discussion of the crime continues since then and became hot topic on major online Chinese communities frequently as an unsettled case of murder, especially due to the tragedy of Zhu Ling after poisoning and incredible cruelness of the murderer. A hacker who claimed he hacked one of Sun Wei's classmate's E-mail, revealed communications between Sun and a few of her classmates, showing Sun Wei was guiding them how to post on forums to declare her innocence and they were preparing for Sun's statement in 2005.[9] [10]
Among the Internet users of the discussion, many people speculate that the main suspect has not been charged due to her family connections. Sun Wei's grandfather is Sun Yueqi who was an important member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as a senior leader of Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang and her uncle, Sun Fuling was deputy mayor of Beijingfrom 1983 to 1993 and Vice Chairperson of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from 1998 to 2003.”
