Lv Banglie, according to the guardian, almost died when he was beaten by the taishi mafia:
He lay there - his eye out of its socket, his tongue cut, a stream of blood dropping from his mouth, his body limp, twisted. The ligaments in his neck were broken, so his head lay sideways as if connected to the rest of his body by a rubber band.
a few hours later, Lv Banglie's sister said that her brother is alright and "washed his clothes by himself":
According to Lu's sister, "He appeared physically alright. He seemed to be able to speak and take care of everything else. He took off his clothes and washed them himself. He said, 'Today is market day, but I won't be able to help you.'
update:
according one blogger, those who got upset by guardian's misleading report are part of a "ccp trap" to "steering you to focus on the journalist and not the victim"
