Dong Yaoqiong

Dong Yaoqiong (; born 1989), also referred to as the 'Ink Girl' in the media, is a Chinese woman who in July 2018 drew international attention through a video posted on her Twitter account with the handle "@feefeefly". The video showed her splashing ink at a poster of General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping in Shanghai, and denouncing his rule as a "tyranny". She was subsequently committed to a psychiatric hospital at least twice.

Biography Dong previously lived in Shanghai and was born and raised in Zhuzhou, Hunan province, People's Republic of China. Before her disappearance, she had been working as a realty agent and had been a dissident in China for a while.

Ink splashing incident Dong went incommunicado from 4 July 2018 after uniformed men visited her apartment on the same day that she streamed live video from the square of HNA Group headquarters in Shanghai. The video showed her criticizing what she described as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-style Dictatorship, authoritarianism as well as brainwashing process imposed on Chinese people. She is also shown splashing ink on a poster of Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CCP, whom she called a dictator on social media. In what appeared to be her last posting on Twitter before her disappearance, Dong wrote:

Hospital stays and alleged second video After the incident, Dong was committed as a psychiatric patient to a Zhuzhou hospital. Her father was detained when trying to visit her.

On 9 September 2018, the website Boxun reported that officials had ordered the hospital to quietly feed Dong poison over a prolonged period of time, aiming for her to die while in hospital and never be discharged alive. However, Chinese Human Rights Defenders reported on 3 January 2020 that she had been released from hospital in November 2019. Her father alleged that Dong continued to be affected by mental and physical side effects of the medication – Olanzapine – that she had received while in hospital, and suggested that she may have been deliberately exposed to these. Dong was committed as a psychiatric patient for a third time in February 2021. , there had been no information about her since over a year earlier.

Arrest and death of her father Her father, Dong Jianbao, was arrested in August 2018, while trying to visit her at Hunan's Zhuzhou Number 3 Hospital. He was later sentenced to three years in prison. In September 2022, it was reported that he had died in prison, and that his body was covered in bruises and wounds. According to a relative, the authorities demanded his body be cremated within five days. Roads leading to the Dong's residence were blocked and multiple people were barred from paying respects at their house.

Arrest of Ou Biaofeng In early December 2020, after retweeting the November video of Dong, Ou was placed in administrative detention for 15 days for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble". His wife Wei Huanhuan tweeted on 18 December that Ou had been placed in Residential Surveillance at a Designated Location; on 25 December she tweeted that, as per a police letter she had received, Ou had been charged with "subversion of state power". Li Xuewen, a friend of Ou, told the South China Morning Post that he believed that the subversion charge had stemmed from Ou's support for Dong. One of the two government-appointed lawyers of Ou confirmed that he was affiliated with a law firm with ties to the provincial government; the lawyer was dismissive about whether this constituted a conflict of interest, saying that this was a common situation.
