On January 8, Xu Qinxian, the “general of resistance” of June 4, died at the age of 86. It is reported that he died under close surveillance in the midst of a serious illness. The latest news from the Hong Kong media said that there was something unusual about Xu Qinshen’s death, the official wanted to cremate him as soon as possible but his family did not agree. Jiang Yanyong, the military doctor who disclosed the Chinese Communist Party’s concealment of SARS, is also under house arrest, and his family says his condition worsened every time he was admitted to the hospital.
The Hong Kong-based China Human Rights and Democracy Information Center website said on Jan. 9 that there were questions about Xu Qinxian’s sudden death yesterday morning, and that the investigation found some anomalies. Officials are now reportedly eager to cremate Xu’s body, but his family does not agree.

In 1989, Xu Qinxian, then commander of the 38th Army, was called a rebel leader for refusing to lead his troops into Tiananmen Square to shoot down the June 4 student movement. Xu Qinxian was imprisoned and placed under house arrest by the military for 30 years on June 4.
During the New Year in 2016, he was rushed back to Shijiazhuang with pneumonia and has been bedridden in the military’s Baiqiu’en International Peace Hospital since then, but despite his inability to take care of himself, the military has set up open and hidden posts at the hospital, and even the doctors and nurses in the hospital are tasked with surveillance.
The report by the Human Rights and Democracy Information Center also mentions the recent situation of retired Chinese Communist military doctor Jiang Yangyong.
According to the report, the family of Dr. Jiang Yanyong was extremely worried about Jiang Yanyong’s safety after they were informed of the sudden death of Xu Qinxian, who had pneumonia in his old age. The family said that if there is an opportunity to go to hospitals outside the mainland, including hospitals in Hong Kong, but Jiang Yanyong is under house arrest and not allowed to leave the house, the family is very anxious.
