Sad and Angry

One of the most-discussed news stories on China's internet currently is related to the brutal murder on a bus of the Beijing's notorious public transportation.
A 14 year old girl was choked to death on the bus by a ticket seller from the Beijing public transportation system simply because the 14-year-old cursed her for her bad attitude. The whole incident was witnessed by girl’s 70 years old father and 50 years old mother, who both work for Tsinghua University. The rude service of Beijing public transportation is notorious. Instead of a rude service, it actually should be called a brutal service because the girl is not the first one who was murdered by the servicemen from Beijing public transportation system in the last five years. After the incident, it is even stranger to see the most of state owned local newspapers do not want to cover it. One commentator on Sina disclosed the reason. The head of Beijing public transportation system pressed the local news media very hard for not covering this incident. Fortunately, the “xin1 jing1 bao4 (NEW BEIJING NEWSPAPER)”, a new local newspaper invested by a big southern news media corporation resisted the pressure and finally reported the incident successfully. It is sad to know that the local newspaper couldn’t be able to resist the pressure from a corporation like Beijing public transportation system. Apparently the head of the system has a very strong backup from the local government officials. The head and some government officials could lose their job for the coverage of this incident.
The detailed story can be found on Sina. and Sina forum
