Deng Zhengjia
Deng Zhengjia () was a Chinese fruit vendor who was killed in a confrontation with urban management officials on 17 July 2013. Deng, 56, was selling watermelons with his wife in Linwu, Hunan Province, when several officials (known as "''chengguan''") reportedly confiscated some of their fruits and asked them to relocated to an area approved for street vending. The couple complied, and approximately 50 minutes later the ''chengguan'' officers returned. Witnesses said the officials struck Deng with a weight from his scale,〔Xiaoqing Pi, ("Vendor Death Shines Light on China's Urban Enforcers" ), ''Wall Street Journal'', 19 July 2013.〕 and Linwu police said that Deng "unexpectedly fell to the ground and died".〔Andrew Jacobs, ("Death of Watermelon Vendor Sets of Outcry in China" ), ''New York Times'', 20 July 2013.〕 According to witnesses on the scene, the officers continue to kick Deng after he fell, and refused to call emergency services.〔
When authorities later attempted to remove the body, villagers stood in their way, capturing images in the process.〔 That evening, hundreds of unarmed protesters clashed with riot police. Photos of bloodied protesters were widely shared on Chinese microblogs and social media platforms, where news of Deng's death was met with outrage. One netizen cited by the ''South China Morning Post'' compared Deng's death to the case of Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian vegetable vendor whose cart was seized by police in 2010. Bouazizi responded by self-immolating, and his death catalyzed the Arab Spring.〔Patrick Boehler, ("Could a Hunan hawker be the one to ignite China's very own Arab Spring?" ), ''South China Morning Post'', 21 July 2013.〕
Following a public outcry, authorities announced they would award Deng's family 879,000 Yuan in compensation.〔Yang Fan, ("Slain Chinese Watermelon Vendor's Family Gets Government Payout" ), ''Radio Free Asia'', 22 July 2013.〕
The death drew considerable attention in the domestic media, and prompted heightened criticism against ''chengguan'' urban management officials.〔Matt Schiavenza, ("Meet the 'Chengguan':China's Violent, Hated Local Cops" ), ''The Atlantic'', 22 July 2013.〕 The ''chengguan'' system was established in 1997, and operates separately from the conventional police forces with minimal oversight. Accounts of violence perpetrated by chengguan officers are widespread; between 2010 and 2012, Chinese media reported on over 150 violent encounters involving the chengguan forces.〔
