Peking University Ph.D. beats mother-in-law, netizens are once again being used as pawns

If it were not for the emergence of the post "Peking University Ph.D Beating Mother-in-law, Six Times Disturbing 110" on the Internet, if it were not for the reposting of this post by netizens, and if it were not for the follow-up reports by the media, perhaps many netizens would have launched a manhunt or a cyber-wanted order to search for the Peking University Ph.D who "beat his mother-in-law".

On January 19, 2008, in various forum communities, there appeared a post titled "Peking University Ph.D Beating Mother-in-law, Six Times Disturbing 110" published by "zwkrwxzr". After the post was sent out, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens, who condemned Mr. Meng, the person who "beat his mother-in-law". However, the truth is just the opposite of what the post said - the real victim is the "beating" son-in-law.
