Appendix 3: Questionnaire Survey for the 2010 ‘Yihuang in-
cident’

2010 年“宜黄事件”问卷调查
2010 年 9 月 10 日，江西省宜黄县发生了一起因拆迁引发的自我伤害事件，
两人被烧成重伤，其中一人经抢救无效后去世。此次事件受到了传统媒体和网络
媒介的共同关注，并且引发了公众舆论的广泛讨论和参与。因此，像“县政府人
员抢夺钟家大伯遗体”“钟家姐妹机场遭政府人员围堵”等事件也通过微博等网

络媒介让大家熟知并且参与讨论。最终，江西省委宣传部发布新闻称，宜黄县委
书记和县长等相关责任人均被免职。本次问卷仅用于英国杜伦大学博士学术研究，
所有数据均会被严格保密，请放心作答。

On 10/09/2010, an self-hurting incident took place in Yihuang County Jiangxi
Province because of house demolition and relocation. Two local residences were se-
verely injured and one of them died in hospital. This incident aroused common concern
among traditional media and the new internet media. It also attracted extensive discus-

sions and participation among the public. Topics such as ‘the local government seizing
the corpse of the Zhong Uncle’ and ‘the Zhong Sisters’ battle in the ladies’ room’ have
been disseminated through Weibo and other internet medium. In the end, the Jiangxi

provincial party committee announced the dismissals of the Yihuang county party sec-
retary and county major. This questionnaire survey aims at collecting data regarding
this case. It is used only for academic research in Durham University. All data will be
kept confidential and completely anonymous, please feel free to answer it. Please be
aware that, by completing the survey, you give consent for using data in this research.

Thanks so much for your contribution!
