On May 20, a man who had been chasing his unpaid wages—just 800 yuan—for over six months reportedly set fire to a textile factory, causing 8 million yuan in damages. But before the fire, he warned the workers to get out. No one was hurt.
Online, people are calling him a hero—“Brother 800”—a symbol of workers’ desperation and rage. They say he burned down more than a factory—he burned out injustice.
But state media and police say he was just mentally unstable, suicidal, and driven by personal despair.
So which is it: a tragic criminal—or a working-class martyr in China’s broken labor system?
Watch the full story and decide for yourself.
