Subject #1: Kwang Jingshu

The first subject that I spoke with regarding the Zombie War is Kwang Jingshu. Jingshu is one of the most experienced doctors in all of China. During our conversation, he shares one of his experiences with me. He told me that it was a slow night in the hospital and nothing important was really going on. That was until he was paged to make a house call. This house call was much more serious than most house calls. There were seven people, all lying down on cots. He goes on to say that the people of this community have isolated them in the communal meeting hall and locked them in there. Jingshu tells that he inspected the sick and noticed that they were bitten by something. He predicted that these people were probably bitten by an infected child. He was right. He goes on to find the young boy behind a locked door of an abandoned house across town. He was called "Patient Zero." He described to me that he wanted to get a blood sample from the boy, so he had two large men hold him down. While in this process, the boy snaps one of his arms and the assistants and the doctor himself retreated, even though he does not like to admit it. He eventually ran into the house and locked the door behind him. He says he was so scared and worried at that moment. Jingshu needed to know how the boy was infected and his mother came forward. She said that the boy and his father were retrieving some things from their old village and he was bitten on his foot. She says that his father never returned from the trip. At this point, says Jingshu, he called another doctor, Gu Wen Kuei. He says that the doctor on the phone gave him several directions and then asked him if he was armed. Jingshu was not. The only reason that Doctor Gu Wen Kuei would ask this is that Jingshu is in serious danger with all of these people. In good time, backup had arrived, 50 men from the Ministry of Health came to get the sick. After putting the sick on stretchers and tying them up and gagging them, they inspected all the citizens of the town. At the end of the talk of this experience, Jingshu went back to talking about when Doctor Gu Wen Kuei asked him if he was armed. After he was asked that, he called his daughter and warned her of another possible outbreak. I learn that Kwang Jingshu was imprisoned by the MSS without any formal charges. Unfortunately, we did not discuss that in this conversation even though I would have liked to.
