All I could bring myself to ask was: 'Does Director Liu's daughter, Liu Ping, still play the violin? Is she still living in Wuxuan?'

'Liu Ping was only sixteen when they killed her. She was the prettiest girl on the farm. She could dance and play the violin. The night the militia killed her father, they raped her, then strangled her with a piece of rope. Once she was dead, they cut off her breasts and gouged out her liver, then fried them in oil and ate them.'
