「贵州“反强制火葬”运动升级：镇长抢尸被擒后戴孝下跪（2025.11.28）」本周五，贵州贵阳息烽县持续了近一个月的“反强制火葬运动”再度爆发激烈冲突。包括一名镇长在内的三名政府工作人员，在试图强行抢夺遗体、并殴打逝者家属后，被愤怒的村民当场扣留。为避免挨打，三人最终戴上孝布，并在逝者棺木前下跪。
据村民透露，11月28日上午，息烽县西山镇联合村杉树坪，家属及村民在抬送一名逝者灵柩下葬途中，遭到多名政府人员和殡仪馆工作人员的拦截。政府人员要求家属交出遗体，拉到殡仪馆实施火化。然而，村民表示，死者家属持有合法土葬手续，并没有任何违规。
双方在争执中爆发肢体冲突，导致一名家属受伤。愤怒的村民随即扣留了包括镇长、支书在内的多名政府人员，并砸毁了车窗玻璃。之后，消息迅速在当地扩散，大量周边村民迅速集结，现场人数达到了数百人。
根据村民拍摄的视频，包括镇长在内的三名男子被押至棺木前，被要求以“孝子”身份下跪，并按当地习俗给他们戴上了代表孝子的白色孝布。讽刺的是，面对村民的喝斥与嘲讽，这些平日里高高在上的政府人员，非常顺从地完成了村民的要求。不过，其他政府人员却在此期间趁乱逃走。最终，在承诺不再继续封路阻拦村民后，这几名政府人员才被允许离开，但所有随行车辆均被村民扣留。
据现场网友透露，29日上午，在政府承诺将赔偿伤者医疗费用后，逝者已被下葬。现场视频显示，当天中午，被扣留的一辆红旗轿车已经被村民推下公路。
自本月初以来，贵州息烽与云南镇雄两地农民接连发起大规模“反强制火葬运动”，反对地方政府推行的强制火化政策。在此期间，两地村民和政府人员发生过多次冲突，息烽县副县长亦曾被村民围堵。在息烽县石垌镇木杉村，数千村民为防止政府人员“偷尸”，已在墓地轮流值守超过二十天，至今仍在坚守。
“Guizhou’s Anti-Forced Cremation Movement Escalates: Township Head Captured After Trying to Seize a Body, Forced to Wear Mourning Cloth and Kneel (2025.11.28)”
On Friday, in Xifeng County of Guiyang, Guizhou, the month-long anti-forced cremation movement once again erupted into violent confrontation. Three government officials — including the township head — were seized on the spot by enraged villagers after attempting to forcibly take a deceased person’s body and assaulting family members. To avoid being beaten, the three were ultimately made to wear white mourning cloths and kneel before the coffin.
According to villagers, on the morning of November 28, in Shanshuping, Lianhe Village of Xishan Town, family members and villagers were carrying a coffin to the burial site when they were blocked by several government officials and funeral-home workers. The officials demanded that the family hand over the body and transport it to the funeral home for cremation. Villagers, however, said the family possessed legal approval for a traditional burial and had violated no regulations.
A physical clash broke out during the dispute, injuring one family member. Furious, villagers detained several government personnel — including the township head and the Party branch secretary — and smashed the windows of their vehicle. The incident quickly spread through the community, and villagers from surrounding areas rapidly gathered, swelling the crowd to several hundred people.
Videos taken by villagers show three men — including the township head — being brought before the coffin. They were forced to kneel as “mourning sons,” and white mourning cloths were tied to their heads according to local customs. Ironically, despite their usual authority, the officials complied obediently amid villagers’ scolding and ridicule. Other officials, however, managed to flee during the chaos. Ultimately, the detained officials were allowed to leave only after promising not to block the villagers again. All accompanying vehicles remained in villagers’ custody.
According to locals at the scene, on the morning of the 29th, after the government promised to cover the injured person’s medical expenses, the deceased was buried. Video from that afternoon shows villagers pushing one of the seized Hongqi sedans off the roadside.
Since early this month, farmers in Xifeng, Guizhou, and Zhenxiong, Yunnan, have repeatedly launched large-scale protests against mandatory cremation policies imposed by local governments. Multiple clashes have occurred between villagers and authorities. In Xifeng, even a deputy county head was once surrounded by villagers. In Mushan Village of Shidong Town, thousands of villagers have been taking turns guarding the cemetery for over twenty days to prevent officials from “stealing bodies,” and the watch continues.
