Chen Jiaqi ran away.
He disappeared for 86 days and fell into the hands of ten people and two gangs. He was forced to prostitute himself in Three cities, including Zhanhuang, Tianjin and Handan. He was twice returned to the county seat five kilometers away from home and was captured again. It took 86 days to get home.
Before she ran away, Chen Jiaqi was always bullied at school. The head teacher didn’t care about her and no one liked her at home. She spent her birthday alone for several years.
After running back, Chen Jiaqi confined herself to her room for half a year, eating, sleeping and watching horror movies. She hardly went out. When she came out, she seemed to have changed her appearance: no longer contacted with friends at school, she began to resist her father who had controlled her for 16 years, got tattoos, made friends with “social people” and dressed herself. In Kuaishou, she has more than 3,000 followers.

Eighty-six days ago, Chen Jiaqi was lost.
As soon as the second year of middle school began, she stopped going to school and went online outside every day. In May, Chen jiaqi told his father that he was going to his classmate’s home to do his homework.
In the Internet cafe, she met Zhang Wenqiang and two other boys. A few people play happy, together left the Internet cafe, in the county hotel opened a room, live together.
After playing in the hotel for three days, the money was gone. Zhang Wenqiang tried to make Chen Jiaqi prostitution to make money. Chen Jiaqi did not want to go, but they would not let her go, frighten her, scold her, later, Chen Jiaqi just let go. Zhang wenqiang brought a friend who was in her thirties. The first deal she made ended up staying up all night.
Later, Zhang Wenqiang took her to Tianjin and handed her over to another gang in Handan. Chen Jiaqi lived in the arranged house after traveling to Zhanhuang, Tianjin and Handan. Every day, food was delivered to him on time. After eating, he rested, slept, played cards, watched TV and played games. If you do more, you won’t lose sleep later.
This is when Chen Jiaqi just came back, Chen Hao took his daughter to the public security Bureau to make a record. These are the information I learned from the record. Chen said his daughter “shook her head” as she spoke. When I listened to the recording, she only answered “uh-huh” in a low voice. Even when asked about the most intimate parts, her tone fluctuated. As for more details, she couldn’t remember anything.
When I was in Tianjin, I couldn’t take a bath in the place Where I stayed. Although I had to receive guests every day, I went to the bathing city only once every three days. “You feel dirty. Want a bath?” “I asked tentatively. She said, “No.”
Chen Jiaqi acted numb, like an irrelevant person. Twice during the 86 days she was under control, she returned to Zhanhuang, five kilometers from her family’s village, a 20-yuan taxi ride away.
“Why didn’t you think of going home?” I asked her.
“No more cars.”
“Do you want to call dad?”
“I forgot.”
“The public security bureau is hundreds of meters away from the hotel. Do you want help?”
“I forgot.”
“Want to go home?”
“I forgot.”
The girl with whom she was being held called home and left. Chen Jiaqi goes to an Internet cafe again, where she meets her ex-boyfriend and follows him to Yongfeng Village. As a result, she fell into the hands of another gang, which kept her engaged in prostitution in Yongfeng village.
Yongfeng village is only six minutes away by car from The County seat of Zanhuang. If you go home directly, it is less than 20 kilometers away. Chen Jiaqi is not completely controlled, at least she is not tied up with a rope. She often went with them to the restaurants in the county town, going to the familiar big restaurants. When she ordered meals, the restaurants were full of people and she was free to go to the toilet.
But she didn’t even think of running.
When she was in Handan, Chen jiachi wanted to buy a mobile phone. The guard took her to the mobile phone shop opposite the casino. He chose one with more than 1,000 yuan and settled the account with the money she earned from prostitution. The phone doesn’t have a card, but it can connect to the wireless Internet. Chen Jiaqi keeps using the QQ on her phone. I asked her, “Did someone ask you where you were on QQ?”
“No.” Chen Jiaqi chat QQ, play don’t step on the white block and happy fun, the guards never ignore Chen Jiaqi, also never asked to see her call records and chat records. But she didn’t think of asking for help, saying, “I don’t know where I am in Handan. How can I ask someone to help me?” She didn’t even tell anyone that she was in Handan.
In fact, it became an important basis for the subsequent sentencing of the police, who believed that she had consented, at least to a large extent. She just doesn’t want to go home. Anything else.
The girl who has been missing for 86 days
The gang members in Yongfeng village had a bad temper and beat her at every turn. On September 7, Chen Jiaqi was beaten again, hitting her body with a pick target and fanning her face with shoes. When Chen Jiaqi came home, his face was swollen and black and blue.
Chen jiaqi just wanted to run away.
That day, the guard drove a van to take her to the county town to eat hamburgers, at six o ‘clock in the evening, the car stopped at the intersection of the maternal and child health hospital, while the guard got off to buy something, Chen Jiaqi opened the door and ran away. Grandma’s house was not more than 100 meters away. She ran up to the fourth floor and knocked on the door. There was only grandma and her little sister, who was not yet ten years old.
Chen Jiaqi calls her father Chen Hao to ask him to save her. Grandma called two neighbors, picked up a broom stick and ran downstairs, while the three of them blocked the guards who were chasing them.
From the village to the grandmother’s house, Chen Hao listened to the child made a phone call, shivered on the motorcycle, only ten minutes to come. At the bottom of the building, he met grandma with a stick. Grandma told him to hurry to save the child. As soon as he went into the flat, she saw Chen Jiaqi looking out of the corridor and seeing his father.
He had been missing for 86 days when he saw his daughter.

Chen jiaqi was afraid her father would beat her. I asked her, “Why did Dad hit you?”
“Not home.”
“Or beat you if you don’t go home?”
“Well.”
“Then why don’t you always want to go home?”
“I don’t want to.”
In his younger brother’s memory, dad hit his sister without a reason. Sometimes it was because she did not cook in time, sometimes it was because she quarreled with others, and most of the time it was because she never went home. As soon as she escaped in September, Chen Hao gave Chen Jiaqi a good beating.
Every time he hit his sister, Chen jiahua huddled aside. Hearing her crying and Shouting, he did not dare to go in to stop his father. Dad beat her in front of her too, in the shop that faced the street, using a clothes pole, and didn’t stop until mom kicked him out.
Grandma thinks that it was his father who made him silly. When he was a child, Chen Jiaqi was very clever and close to people. Now he spends his time lying on the Kang without working or talking.
The family had a happy time when their two children were young and Chen hao was in the business of making handmade sausages wrapped in plastic wrap, with the children scrambling to help him. Every day before dawn, Chen Hao had to go out to deliver goods. When he came back at dawn, the children had prepared food and brought it to him.
Chen Hao is good to his two children. When Chen Jiaqi was still a private primary school student, he always took things with him to school. Later, everyone in the school knew him, and when they saw him at the door, they said, Chen Jiaqi’s father came again.
When Chen Jiaqi was nine years old, her parents divorced. Her mother ran to her two children and told them that she would leave you alone. Grandma told her and brother, mom is leaving, you cry, don’t let mom go. The younger brother fell on his knees and cried, but Chen Jiachi did not cry and stood dead. She was as stubborn as her father, stubborn, obstinate, holding on to anything.
My mother left and got married again in the county town.
After the divorce, my father wouldn’t let my mother see the baby.
Once, the child was ill in the school health center infusion, mother stood pregnant more than six months to see the big belly, the result was stopped by the grandmother at the door, with things fell on the ground. In the memory of both children, the mother was always absent. When I was in middle school, my mother saw my younger brother at the school gate and called his name, which scared him so much that he ran away.
My father was the authority in the family. When I was young, my father would sit and chat with the two of them every week, and it was often my father who reasoned while the siblings listened. Apart from preaching, baba rarely communicated with them on an equal basis and never praised them in his memory.
At that time, Chen Jiahua was only given two red scarves in his class. He was one of them. When I got home, I told my father happily. My father asked, “Why did the teacher give you a red scarf?” Chen Jiahua said a lot. He was good and obedient, but his father said, “Because the teacher saw that your neck was black, like a bearing, he could not eat, so he gave you a red scarf to surround your neck. If you can’t see it, you can have a good meal.
At home, no one pays attention to Chen jiaqi. I asked Chen Hao, “Does the girl have single eyelids or double eyelids?” He thought, “Gee, I didn’t know that.”
I asked my brother, “Do you like your sister?”
“No.”
“Would you confide in your sister?”
“No.”
“Are you in a great hurry without your sister?”
“Just the usual.”
“No worries in your heart?”
“That’s a bit.”
“Did you ask your sister why she ran away?”
“She said, ‘What do you care! Leave it alone. ‘”
“What’s the difference between having your sister at home and not at home?”
“More than one.”

When she was in junior high school, Chen Jiaqi wanted to go to no. 1 Middle School, but she was more than 30 minutes behind. The result is not good, but was bullied.
Once the school holidays, Chen Jiaqi has not come back, her father could not find her, under the urgency of the police, and later found in the classmate’s home. Dad worried, nine o ‘clock at night, take her to the street to beat, beat especially hard, students knelt down to beg him, “Uncle you don’t want to fight, she doesn’t want to go to school, school always someone bullied her.
“Can’t you tell the teacher?” Haohappy asked.
“You’ll get beaten up for telling them.”
Chen jiaqi said she did not want to go to school, but her father demanded that she stick it out until she finished junior high school.
By the end of March, Chen had stopped going to school. She hid it from her father, surfing the Internet and watching TV dramas all day in the Internet bar. At the weekend, she said she would go to her classmates’ home to do her homework. She hid it until she disappeared in May.
Chen jiaqi has so far been very resistant to talking about things at school. She denied that she had been bullied and did not want to go to school just because “my deskmate stopped reading and thought going to school was not interesting”. She refused to keep in touch with her old school friends and made new friends who did not go to school or work.
The school teacher said that if Chen Jiaqi had really been bullied, “the head teacher should have known better and helped her deal with it at that time”. In fact, I tried to contact deng Cuiping, the head teacher in her middle school, but I failed to see her several times when I went to the office, and all the phone calls were hung up. In the text message, I made it clear why I came: “Now Jiaqi does not go to school, her father is very anxious, I hope to contact you to find the former friends to persuade her.” There was no reply.
Of course, this and the other students in the class in accordance with the situation – the first day just began, the class has more than 70 people, and then some do not read, some transfer class, the third normal college entrance examination only left more than 40. Apart from grades, the head teacher did not give them undue attention.
I went to find some teachers who had taken her. Only one of them, after listening to Chen jiaqi’s name, talked on and on for a few minutes, saying that she was an introverted girl with few words, and her grades were in the middle and lower reaches, and there was nothing outstanding about her. Only later did I discover that the girl he mentioned was three years older than Chen Jiaqi.
“Do you like Miss Deng?” I asked Chen Jiaqi.
“No.”
“Like your elementary school teacher?”
“Almost.”
“Does good grades in primary school have anything to do with teachers?”
“Yes.”
“You liked studying at that time?”
“Well.”

After the child was lost, Chen Hao looked for the child everywhere, also called the police, but the police station is not so many people, can not follow him all over the street to find the child.
Once, someone told him, Jiaqi in the county hotel, Chen Hao immediately rode a car to the hotel to find children.
Another time, hearing that the child was in Handan, Chen Hao, the child’s mother and another family member of the controlled child took a taxi to Handan. The four of them took a taxi to Handan, spending more than 400 yuan. The driver kept taking detour, but refused to get on the highway. Chen Hao worried, add money to let the driver from the high speed to go, thinking to save the child quickly. We arrived in Handan at about eight o ‘clock in the evening. We went around and didn’t find anything.
This is the last two times he left Chen Jiaqi, and the child is still not found. Until September 7, Chen Jiaqi ran back by himself.
After Chen Jiaqi came back, the two principal criminals of the Gang in Handan and yongfeng village were sentenced to 12 years, 10 years and 10 months respectively. The other eight accomplices were each sentenced to detention and fine, but they were released in a few days. The police station captain in charge of the case was also given an administrative demerit. But Chen Hao felt that this was not enough and that the other side should be demoted. He couldn’t swallow it.
At the beginning of 2016, Chen Hao sent his distant relatives to find a lawyer who they knew well and visited him almost once a week. The lawyer told him that the public security has been punished, the court has also made a judgment, it is very difficult to recover the responsibility, it is suggested to go to the civil action for compensation, Chen Hao is not willing to.
Later, without consulting his lawyer, Chen hao went directly to Beijing to petition. He went there once in March 2016 and again in 2017, but he was reluctant to spend more than 100 yuan on accommodation. In the late winter of Beijing, he spent a night huddled in a hutong. Finally, the people in the county took him back.
In July, Chen Hao bought a computer, which cost 1,600 yuan, plus more than 500 yuan for a year’s broadband service, which was nearly a month’s salary. He looks for the reporter’s contact information on the computer, 16 open paper, has become a book of one centimeter thick, the reporter’s telephone, QQ, mailbox, according to the name, unit, contact information is arranged in turn, a page more than 40, magazine, newspaper, public all have.
With contact information, he began sending messages to reporters one by one, waiting for stories about his daughter to come in, hoping to get the case retried.
Mr Chen has resisted the media. Because of the media, people in the village knew about her, and when she left the house, she always felt that someone was pointing behind her, saying, “I was sold to sleep with other people.” One person specifically told her brother, “Don’t be like your sister.”
At the end of 2016, a reporter came from Beijing. Chen hao brought the reporter to his home. It was just in time for his daughter’s birthday, so he bought a cake and took it with him. When he came into the room, he saw Chen Jiaqi lying on the bed. He happily went up to wish his daughter a happy birthday. However, Chen Jiaqi had no reaction, so he said “Put it here”.
When I talked to Chen jiaqi, I realized that she resisted the memory and stopped asking. Before we left, Chen Hao asked me nervously, “How was the interview today?” I told him, “My daughter is resistant to memories, so let’s not ask about this.” “Which line, you report, you must ask.” Haohappy said.
At about 10 o ‘clock that night, I received a phone call from Chen Hao again. He said that he had successfully persuaded his daughter, “I tried to persuade her on the basis of the economic cost I had to pay for finding her and the wound on my hand. Now she has promised to recall this matter.” Then he invited me, “Come back tomorrow and interview her about her abduction.”
The next day, when I saw her again, Chen Jiaqi was huddled in a chair in the corner and refused to sit closer. I asked a few questions, but I didn’t have the heart to ask her any more. Chen Hao was very enthusiastic and kept checking with me to see if the information he had interviewed was enough.
On the day he left, he took his daughter to the bus station to see me off. Chen Hao stood in front of the bus and waved. Chen Jiaqi squatted on the ground with his head down. I can feel that Chen Jiaqi has been resisting to recall the 86 days of experience, but she did not dare to resist her father. The father doesn’t seem to care what his daughter thinks. He only does what he thinks is right.
Grandma also told Chen Hao, the compensation for almost even, she did not want to pursue. But Chen Hao refused.
“You’ll drive me mad if you do that again.” “Grandma told him.
“You make me mad if you don’t.”

After the daughter came back, in addition to go to the toilet, lying at home all day, meals to the bedside also do not eat. Chen Hao proposed to take her to see a psychiatrist several times, but Chen Jiaqi was too afraid to go home and quietly told her brother that she was afraid of being sent to a psychiatric hospital by her father.
But Chen Hao insisted that his daughter’s mind has been distorted, must go to see a psychological doctor. Before, the daughter obedient, tell her to do what thing absolutely don’t say two words, but after this thing, and she said what also don’t listen, even if the agreed things may suddenly go back on their words. Losing temper, breaking things, hitting people, father, brother and grandmother have been hit by her.
Chen Hao prepared a chain at home, said Chen Jiaqi again out of control, he was ready to lock up his daughter.
After the child was found, Chen Hao was still in a state of mind every day. Once when he was working, he accidentally hurt his arm and his forearm was stirred into the machine. The meat was gone and only a layer of skin was left to cover the bones. After the injury, the whole family accompanied him to the operating room door, crying. But When Chen Hao caught a glimpse, Chen jiaqi smiled. He was more certain that the child was psychologically distorted.
Chen decided to make a clean break with her past self and told her father she wanted a tattoo.
“No,” Chen hao replied at once. “None of the children in decent families have tattoos.”
“I’ve done it.”
Chen Hao suddenly angry up, “already done, you tell me why! … You just don’t know me as a father.”
When I met Chen Jiaqi later, she already had a tattoo on her right arm that covered half of her arm. It was a geisha pattern chosen at the tattoo shop.
Chen jiaqi’s new friends are all “social people”. She carries a cigarette when she goes out, burns her noodles, and her bangs hang down to cover half of her eyes. She is greeted by people all the way through her QQ, which has more than 1,000 friends.
We stayed together in a hotel, and after midnight, she went out alone and insisted on going to another hotel to meet a friend. Later, I watched the horror movie in the Internet bar all night and didn’t come back until 4 o ‘clock in the morning.
She seemed a different person, unlike the character she had been bullied at school, indifferent to the nights, hotels, strangers and Internet cafes that might evoke traumatic memories.
Li Ying, an experienced lawyer in the case of girl sexual assault, told me that after sexual assault, some people will have a strong stress reaction, such as mental breakdown and silence. One child even lost the ability to express himself and could not even count. But there are also children, like Chen jiaqi, who live normal lives and socialize normally and are not afraid to return to scenes that may evoke traumatic memories. But in reality, Chen just hides the wound, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
However, their openness is limited to superficial interactions, and traumatic memories can reshape their view of intimacy.
It reminds me of the first time I met Chen Jiaqi. She was with a girl, wearing the same clothes, the same ankle bracelet and having the same tattoo on her right arm. This is her current best friend. In fact, they have only known each other for four months. I asked Chen jiaqi, “Does she know anything about your past?”
“I don’t know.”
“Will you talk about it?”
“No.”
Chen Hao wants Chen Jiaqi to go to work, or go to school or technical school, but Chen Jiaqi just doesn’t speak, and finally comes out with the words “I don’t want to go to school”, just thinking about playing. Her mother got her a job in a barbershop, went to work for two days, sat down and ran away.
I asked Chen Jiaqi, “What are you going to do in the future?”
“Every day is a day.”
