From Phoenix Weekly (in Chinese), translated by EastSouthWestNorth:
Zhang Jinshu seemed to have become a local ‘legend.’ In July 2005, Zhang Jinshu was elected as village mayor for the third time, but he had to remaining in hiding — he is suspected of organizing an assault of villagers and is being sought by the police.
Although he is unable to show his face, he is still controlling village affairs from afar in secret. A few villagers have reported to the relevant departments to demand the rescinding of the election results. But the response was: there was no legal basis for annulling the election of Zhang Jinshu.
In Wangshe village, Ninghai county, Zhejiang province, a “wanted criminal” was elected as village mayor. This brought worries and shocks to this changing village, and it has also created many problems for the relevant departments.
