One day, when he had been on the hunger strike for over 20 days and was extremely weak, he was lying on the cement floor. The head of the detention center Wang Yufeng, Zhao Liangui, and the prison doctor Wang Jianxin, force fed him with boiling water, thus burning his mouth and stomach, which led him to have bloody excrement for over 10 days. Due to his serious condition, on June 20, the policemen, without the assistance of a doctor, tried to do an appendectomy on Zhang Xuewen , without asking for permission from his family. After they opened him up, they found it was not appendicitis, so they sewed him back up again. Currently Zhang Xuewen's life is in great danger.
