四通桥抗议Sitong Bridge Protest
背景：2022年秋天的北京，动态清零进入第三年：没完没了的核酸、弹窗、封控压在每个人头上，郑州、广州等地已经出现居民冲卡抗议。再过三天，中共二十大就要开幕，全城安保升级，街头挂满“喜迎二十大”的标语。就在这时，一名普通男子把目光投向了海淀区中关村大街与北三环交汇处的四通桥——桥下车水马龙，桥身正对着川流不息的车流。据多家媒体报道，他叫彭立发，网名“彭载舟”，是一名从事科研工作的普通职员。此前，他已在网上留下长篇自述，写明行动的理由和方法：呼吁罢工、罢课、罢免独裁者，并详细研究了横幅的悬挂、扩音设备的选用，还呼吁其他城市的人照此复制。这场抗议，是他一个人策划、一个人完成的。Background: In the autumn of 2022, Beijing was in the third year of zero-COVID: endless testing, health-code pop-ups and lockdowns weighed on everyone, and residents in Zhengzhou and Guangzhou had already broken through barriers in protest. In three days the CCP's 20th Congress would open; security was at its tightest and the streets were hung with “Welcome the 20th Congress” slogans. At that moment, one ordinary man fixed his sights on Sitong Bridge, where Zhongguancun Street crosses the North Third Ring Road in Haidian — traffic streaming beneath it, its span facing the flow of cars. According to multiple media reports, his name was Peng Lifa, online name “Peng Zaizhou,” an ordinary employee engaged in scientific research. He had already left a long statement online setting out his reasons and methods: it called for strikes, school boycotts and the removal of the dictator, worked through the details of hanging banners and choosing loudspeaker equipment, and urged people in other cities to copy the act. The protest was planned by one man, and carried out by one man.
一个人的准备：从彭立发留在网上的自述文字和媒体事后的梳理看，这场抗议经过了精心的个人准备：他提前多次到四通桥一带观察，选定车流量最大、桥身展露最完整的悬挂位置；横幅按桥栏的尺寸定制，白底红字，为的是在几十米外也能读清；扩音喇叭预先录好口号音频，循环播放；点燃的轮胎和身上的施工服装，一为吸引注意，二为在最初几分钟里不被路人当成异类而驱赶。他还写明，希望其他城市的人把这套做法复制过去。One man's preparation: From the statements Peng Lifa left online and from media reconstruction afterward, the protest was carefully prepared by one person: he scouted the Sitong Bridge area repeatedly in advance and chose the hanging position with the heaviest traffic and the clearest exposure of the span; the banners were made to the measure of the bridge railing, red characters on white, legible from dozens of meters away; the loudspeaker's slogans were pre-recorded and set to loop; the burning tires and the construction clothes served, first, to draw attention and, second, to keep passers-by from driving him off in the first minutes. He wrote explicitly that he hoped people in other cities would copy the method.
为什么是那一天、那座桥：二十大是中共五年一次的权力交接大会，2022年10月16日开幕。会前数周，北京进入特殊安保状态：进京车辆和快递层层检查，访民被清退，天桥、地铁站加派巡逻，异见人士被旅游、被上门。彭立发的自述文字里写得很明白：他选在大会前三天、选中关村这座桥，就是因为全世界的镜头正对着北京，而桥下的车流就是观众。二十大的标语挂满全城，他要让自己的横幅与那些标语出现在同一幅画面里。后来发生的事证明他算准了传播的一半：横幅只挂了十几分钟，画面却在被删除之前传遍了世界；他没有算到的另一半是，一个月后喊出这些口号的人会从一个人变成成千上万。Why that day, why that bridge: The 20th Congress, opening October 16, 2022, is the Party's five-yearly transfer-of-power gathering. For weeks beforehand, Beijing was in a special security state: vehicles and parcels entering the city checked layer upon layer, petitioners cleared out, extra patrols on footbridges and at subway stations, dissidents taken on forced “trips” or visited at home. Peng Lifa's online statement is explicit about his reasoning: he chose the three-days-before timing and this bridge in Zhongguancun precisely because the world's cameras were pointed at Beijing, and the traffic beneath the bridge was his audience. Congress slogans hung all over the city; he wanted his banners in the same frame as those slogans. Events proved he had calculated half the transmission correctly: the banners hung for barely a dozen minutes, yet the images crossed the world before deletion could catch them. The half he did not calculate was that, a month later, the people shouting those slogans would grow from one man to tens of thousands.
他留下的文字：抗议之前，彭立发以“彭载舟”之名在网上发布的长文，是理解这场行动的主要文本。文中，他自述研究过其他国家的抗争经验，列出罢工、罢课、罢免独裁者的主张，呼吁军人、警察和公务员站到人民一边；他还把行动的技术细节写了出来：横幅的尺寸如何量取、字要多大才看得清、扩音设备如何选用、如何用烟雾吸引注意，并明确希望其他城市的人把这套方法复制过去。文末，他预告了行动的大致时间和地点，并表示自己已经做好付出代价的准备。这篇文章在他被捕后被迅速删除，靠网友的截图和海外存档才保存下来。研究这段历史的人注意到一个细节：他不是一时冲动站上桥的——从文字看，这场十几分钟的抗议，准备了至少数月。The text he left: The long essay Peng Lifa posted online under the name “Peng Zaizhou” before the protest is the primary text for understanding the act. In it, he described having studied protest experience in other countries, set out demands for strikes, school boycotts and the dictator's removal, and appealed to soldiers, police and civil servants to stand with the people. He also wrote out the technical details of the action: how to measure a banner, how large the characters must be to read clearly, how to choose loudspeaker equipment, how to use smoke to draw attention — and stated plainly his hope that people in other cities would replicate the method. At the end, he foreshadowed the approximate time and place of the action and said he was prepared to pay the price. After his arrest the essay was swiftly deleted, surviving through screenshots and overseas archives. Students of this episode note one detail: he did not climb the bridge on impulse — by the evidence of the text, the dozen-minute protest had been prepared for at least several months.
那天早上的北京：2022年10月13日是个工作日。北京当时的日常是这样的：出门先看健康宝有没有弹窗，进任何楼都要扫码，核酸亭前永远排着队，过期一天就寸步难行；二十大的红色标语挂满街头，与防疫的蓝色围栏同框出现。彭立发和所有人一样过着这种日子——据报道，他在北京一家从事科研的机构工作多年，早晨出门时和家人并无异样。他选定的四通桥离他工作和生活的区域不远，桥下是中关村大街，早高峰的车流正密。一个普通工作日的上午九、十点钟，一个穿着工装的人爬上桥栏，在首都的心脏地带，把憋了三年的话挂了出来——这是理解这场抗议为何瞬间击中那么多人的背景：桥上的话，正是桥下千万人手机里删了又删的话。Beijing, that morning: October 13, 2022 was a working day. Daily life in Beijing then ran like this: check your health code for a pop-up before leaving home, scan a code to enter any building, queue forever at testing booths, one day out of date and you could go nowhere; red Congress slogans hung over every street, sharing the frame with blue epidemic fencing. Peng Lifa lived this life like everyone else — by report, he had worked for years at a Beijing research-related institution, and he left home that morning with no sign of anything unusual to his family. The Sitong Bridge he chose was not far from where he worked and lived; beneath it ran Zhongguancun Street, thick with morning rush-hour traffic. At nine or ten on an ordinary working morning, a man in work clothes climbed the bridge railing and, in the heart of the capital, hung up what three years had bottled up. That is the background to why the protest struck so many people instantly: the words on the bridge were the very words millions below it had typed into their phones and deleted, again and again.
做了什么：2022年10月13日上午，彭立发身穿工地施工服装、头戴黄色安全帽，爬上四通桥，把两条白色巨幅横幅挂上桥栏，又点燃一堆轮胎，黑烟升起，桥下的行人纷纷驻足。他用扩音喇叭循环播放横幅上的口号。十几分钟后，数十名警察赶到，将他按倒带走，横幅被迅速扯下，桥面恢复如常。但在他被带走之前，现场照片和视频已经传遍社交网络，随后被一删再删，又被转存到海外。这是习近平2012年上台之后，北京市区第一次出现直接针对最高领导人本人的公开抗议。What he did: On the morning of October 13, 2022, wearing construction clothes and a yellow safety helmet, Peng Lifa climbed onto Sitong Bridge, hung two giant white banners from the railing, and set a pile of tires alight; black smoke rose and pedestrians below stopped to stare. Through a loudspeaker he played his slogans on a loop. Within minutes, dozens of police arrived, wrestled him down and took him away; the banners were torn down and the bridge returned to normal. But before he was taken, photographs and video from the scene had spread across social media — deleted again and again, and preserved overseas. It was the first public protest in central Beijing aimed directly at the top leader in person since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012.
诉求原文（有出处）：横幅原文：“不要核酸要吃饭！不要封控要自由！不要谎言要尊严！不要文革要改革！不要领袖要选票！不做奴才做公民！”另一条写道：“罢课罢工罢免独裁国贼习近平。”（出处：中国人权捍卫者网络CHRD，2023年10月12日声明）Original demands (sourced): The banners read: “We want food, not COVID testing! We want freedom, not lockdowns! We want dignity, not lies! We want reform, not the Cultural Revolution! We want votes, not a leader! We are citizens, not slaves!” The other demanded: “Strike at school, strike at work, depose the traitorous dictator Xi Jinping.” (Source: CHRD statement, October 12, 2023)
现场处置：据当时在现场附近的目击者向媒体描述，警察赶到后先把彭立发按倒、摘下他的安全帽，随即收走横幅和喇叭，桥面很快恢复通车。此后数小时，四通桥周边警力明显加强，有路人称警察在桥下检查行人的手机相册，要求删除拍摄的照片和视频。当晚，中关村一带的多座过街天桥都有警察值守。官方媒体对事件只字未提；境内社交平台上，“四通桥”“彭立发”“勇士”等词组在几小时内全部成为无法搜索或无法发布的敏感词，连不带文字的桥景照片也被大量删除。一场发生在首都最繁华地段、被成百上千人目击的抗议，在国内的互联网上像从未发生过一样干净。Handling at the scene: According to witnesses near the scene who later spoke to media, police who arrived first wrestled Peng Lifa down and removed his helmet, then took down the banners and the loudspeaker; traffic on the bridge resumed quickly. For hours afterward, police presence around Sitong Bridge was visibly reinforced, and passers-by reported officers under the bridge inspecting pedestrians' phone photo albums and ordering protest pictures and videos deleted. That night, police stood watch on many footbridges across the Zhongguancun area. State media carried not a word about the incident. On domestic social platforms, the terms “Sitong Bridge,” “Peng Lifa” and “brave man” all became unsearchable or unpostable sensitive words within hours, and even textless photographs of the bridge were deleted in large numbers. A protest that had taken place in one of the capital's busiest districts, witnessed by hundreds or thousands, was scrubbed from the domestic internet as though it had never happened.
事后处理：彭立发被带走后，再也没有公开露面，官方从未公布他的下落、罪名和任何审判消息。“四通桥”三个字一夜之间成为全网敏感词，相关图片、桥名乃至他的名字都无法在境内平台搜到。据CHRD记录，彭立发处于强迫失踪状态；其家属被警方上门警告，不得对外发声。有海外报道称他已被秘密判刑九年，但这一说法无法独立核实，本站按未核处理。人权组织每年在他被带走的日子发声，要求当局公布他的下落、允许家属探视。本站迫害纪实收录有他的个案：彭立发。相关事件页：四通桥抗议Aftermath: Peng Lifa has never been seen in public since he was taken away, and the authorities have never announced his whereabouts, any charge, or any trial. Overnight, the characters “Sitong Bridge” became a sensitive word across the Chinese internet; the photographs, the bridge's name, even his own name could no longer be searched on domestic platforms. CHRD records him as a victim of enforced disappearance, and his family has been visited by police and warned not to speak out. Overseas reports say he was secretly sentenced to nine years, but the claim cannot be independently verified and is recorded here as unconfirmed. Every year on the anniversary of his seizure, human rights organizations demand that the authorities reveal where he is and allow family visits. This site's Persecution archive carries his individual case file: Peng Lifa. See also: Sitong Bridge Protest
看桥的人：四通桥事件留下的一个荒诞注脚，是“看桥员”。事后，北京在各主要过街天桥上安排了专人值守：多为戴着红袖章的志愿者或保安，坐在桥头的小凳子上，从早到晚看着桥面，职责就是防止有人挂横幅。外媒记者拍下的看桥员照片，成为此后一年里关于北京的经典画面之一。与此同时，有网民发现，地图软件中“四通桥”的标注一度消失或难以检索，导航只能找到桥下的路名。这座桥从此有了双重身份：在官方的城市管理里，它是一个需要专人看守的风险点；在许多人的记忆里，它是一个人喊出真话的地点坐标。The bridge watchers: Sitong Bridge left an absurd footnote: the “bridge watchers.” Afterward, Beijing stationed dedicated watchers on its major footbridges — mostly volunteers or security guards wearing red armbands, sitting on small stools at the bridgeheads from morning to night, their duty simply to prevent anyone from hanging a banner. Photographs of the watchers taken by foreign correspondents became one of the classic images of Beijing for a year afterward. At the same time, internet users noticed that the “Sitong Bridge” label had at one point vanished from map apps or become hard to search; navigation could find only the road names beneath it. The bridge thus acquired a double identity: in official city management, a risk point requiring a dedicated guard; in many people's memory, the coordinates of the place where one man said the truth out loud.
因声援被带走的人：彭立发不是这场风波里唯一付出代价的人。2022年10月下旬，北京、上海、西安、深圳等地，先后有年轻人因为张贴声援海报、在墙上涂写呼应标语、或在社交媒体转发四通桥图片而被警察带走问话；有人被行政拘留，有人被单位、学校约谈警告。海外的情况相反：从2022年10月起，声援海报出现在多国大学校园的公告栏上，内容多是四通桥的照片和横幅原文；在个别校园，海报被撕除后又连夜重新贴上，成为当地媒体报道的话题。这些散落在各地的声援与抓捕，拼出了这场抗议的实际半径：桥上只有一个人，桥下是一个时代的情绪。Those taken for showing support: Peng Lifa was not the only one to pay a price in this affair. From late October 2022, in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Shenzhen and other cities, young people were taken in for questioning one after another for posting solidarity posters, painting echoing slogans on walls, or forwarding Sitong Bridge images on social media; some were administratively detained, others warned by employers or universities. Abroad it was the reverse: from October 2022, solidarity posters — mostly the bridge photograph and the banners' text — appeared on university notice boards in many countries, and on some campuses, posters torn down were pasted up again overnight, becoming local news stories. These scattered acts of support and arrest sketch the protest's true radius: on the bridge there was one man; beneath it, the mood of an era.
家属与回响：据CHRD等机构的记录，彭立发被带走后，警方多次上门盘问他的妻子、女儿和亲属，要求他们不得接受采访、不得对外发声，家人长期生活在监控之下，偶有探视消息传出也无法证实。与此同时，四通桥的画面在墙外持续发酵：2022年10月下旬起，中国多座城市的高校厕所、公告栏出现呼应标语；海外留学生在多国校园张贴“四通桥”海报。到2023年10月他被带走一周年时，伦敦、纽约、旧金山等地都有人举起仿制的横幅纪念——横幅的样式已经固定为白底红字，成了这两年抗争视觉符号的一部分。Family and echoes: According to CHRD and other organizations, after Peng was taken away, police repeatedly visited and questioned his wife, daughter and relatives, ordering them not to accept interviews or speak publicly; the family has lived under surveillance ever since, and occasional reports of visits can neither be confirmed nor verified. Meanwhile, the images from Sitong Bridge kept spreading beyond the firewall: from late October 2022, echoing slogans appeared in university toilets and on notice boards in a number of Chinese cities, and Chinese students abroad posted “Sitong Bridge” posters on campuses in many countries. By the first anniversary of his seizure in October 2023, people in London, New York, San Francisco and elsewhere raised replica banners in commemoration — the format now fixed as red characters on white cloth, part of the visual vocabulary of protest in these years.
国际反应：四通桥事件发生当天即被全球主要媒体报道：路透社、美联社、BBC、《纽约时报》等都在数小时内发出现场图片和横幅全文。美国国务院发言人在记者会上被问及时表示关注中国的人权状况；国际特赦组织、中国人权捍卫者网络等机构此后持续把彭立发列为需要紧急声援的强迫失踪个案。2023年10月事件一周年，旧金山、伦敦、纽约、悉尼、台北等地都出现仿制横幅的纪念活动，其中旧金山湾区的声援者把同样的白底红字横幅挂上当地桥梁。在诺贝尔和平奖2023年提名的公开讨论中，彭立发的名字被海外活动人士多次提及。国际注视没能换来他的任何消息——直到本站最后一次核实时，他的下落、健康和法律状态，仍然是一个完全的空白。International response: The Sitong Bridge protest was reported worldwide the day it happened: Reuters, AP, the BBC and The New York Times all carried scene photographs and the banners' full text within hours. A US State Department spokesperson, asked at a press briefing, expressed concern over China's human rights situation. Amnesty International, CHRD and other organizations have since kept Peng Lifa listed as an enforced-disappearance case requiring urgent solidarity. On the first anniversary in October 2023, commemorations with replica banners appeared in San Francisco, London, New York, Sydney and Taipei; in the San Francisco Bay Area, supporters hung the same white-cloth, red-character banner from a local bridge. In public discussion of nominations for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, overseas activists repeatedly raised his name. International attention has not purchased a single piece of news about him: as of this site's last verification, his whereabouts, health and legal status remain a complete blank.
他的家庭：关于彭立发的家庭，公开报道能拼出的轮廓是：他来自黑龙江，在北京工作、成家多年，有妻子和年幼的女儿，是一个典型的、靠专业技能在大城市扎根的中年技术人员。他不是职业活动家，没有组织背景，在网上留下的文字里，他反复说自己是“一个普通人”。人权组织的通报里提到，他的妻子在他被带走后曾被警方要求配合调查，一度与外界失去联系，后来回到家中照顾女儿和老人，在监控下生活。这一家人的名字、住址、单位，本站按保护家属的原则不予公开。本站只记录一个事实：为桥上那十几分钟付账的，不止桥上那一个人，还有一个家庭此后每一天的日子。His family: What public reporting can piece together of Peng Lifa's family is this: he came from Heilongjiang, had worked and made a home in Beijing for years, and had a wife and a young daughter — a typical mid-career technical professional who had put down roots in a big city on his skills. He was no professional activist and had no organizational background; in the texts he left online he said repeatedly that he was “an ordinary person.” Human rights bulletins record that after he was taken, his wife was required to cooperate with a police investigation and was for a time out of contact with the outside, later returning home to care for their daughter and the family's elders, living under surveillance. This site does not publish the family's names, address or workplaces, by its principle of protecting relatives. It records one fact only: the bill for those dozen minutes on the bridge is being paid not by the man on the bridge alone, but by a family, every day since.
横幅的文本：彭立发的横幅值得逐句记录。六个“不要……要……”的排比，把疫情诉求（吃饭、自由）与政治诉求（尊严、改革、选票、做公民）写在同一条布上，这是它区别于此前三年所有抗议的地方：喊“解封”的人很多，把“解封”和“选票”写在一起的人，他是第一个。另一条横幅点名“罢免独裁国贼习近平”，是1949年以来北京街头标语中第一次直接要求罢免在任最高领导人。这套文本此后被反复征用：白纸运动的口号表、海外声援海报的设计、四通桥纪念横幅的复制，都以他的原文为准，连标点都很少改动。在审查删帖的速度面前，文本的命运是：越删越完整——每一次删除，都促使更多人把全文背下来、存下来。The text of the banners: Peng Lifa's banners deserve line-by-line record. The six parallel “We don't want… we want…” clauses write epidemic demands (food, freedom) and political demands (dignity, reform, votes, citizenship) on the same cloth — what sets them apart from every protest of the previous three years: many had shouted “end the lockdown,” but he was the first to write “end the lockdown” and “votes” together. The other banner named its target — “depose the traitorous dictator Xi Jinping” — the first slogan on a Beijing street since 1949 to demand an incumbent supreme leader's removal outright. The text has been reused ever since: the White Paper Movement's chant sheets, solidarity poster designs abroad, and replica memorial banners all follow his original wording, punctuation nearly untouched. Against the speed of censorship, the text's fate ran the other way — the more it was deleted, the more completely it survived, each deletion prompting more people to memorize and store the whole.
留下的东西：他一个人留下的东西，出乎意料地多。横幅上的话，一个月后在上海乌鲁木齐中路、北京亮马河边被成千上万的人齐声喊出——白纸运动的许多口号，源头就在这座桥上。事发之后，各地公共厕所的隔间里出现呼应他的涂鸦，被网友称为“厕所革命”；海外多国大学校园贴出声援他的海报。“四通桥”成了一个不能公开言说的地名，也成了“孤勇者”的代称：人们提起它时说的是，一个普通人在监控密布的首都独自站上桥头，明知会被带走，还是先把话喊了出来。What it left behind: What one man left behind turned out to be a great deal. A month later, the words on his banners were chanted by thousands on Shanghai's Urumqi Road and along Beijing's Liangma River — many of the White Paper Movement's slogans trace back to this bridge. Afterward, graffiti echoing him appeared in public-toilet stalls in various cities, dubbed the “toilet revolution” by internet users, and solidarity posters went up on university campuses in many countries. “Sitong Bridge” became a place name that cannot be spoken aloud, and shorthand for the lone brave act: when people mention it, they mean that an ordinary man stood alone on a bridge in a capital dense with cameras, knowing he would be taken away — and said the words first anyway.
核实状态：关于彭立发的法律状态，公开信息止步于2022年10月13日他被带走的那一刻。此后流传的说法包括“被以寻衅滋事罪判刑”“被关押在北京某看守所”“已被秘密审判判刑九年”等，均来自单一渠道或匿名转述，没有判决书、没有官方通报、没有家属证实，本站一律按未核处理，只记录其存在而不采信其内容。这也是本站把他的个案同时放进“抗争记录”和“迫害纪实”两个栏目的原因：抗争的那一部分有照片和视频为证，清清楚楚；迫害的那一部分，档案里至今是一张空白页——空白本身，就是这份档案要记录的东西。Verification status: Public information about Peng Lifa's legal status stops at the moment of his seizure on October 13, 2022. Claims in circulation since — “sentenced for picking quarrels,” “held in a Beijing detention center,” “secretly tried and given nine years” — all derive from single channels or anonymous relays, with no judgment document, no official notice and no family confirmation. This site records all of them as unverified: noting their existence without crediting their content. That is also why his case appears in both the Resistance records and the Persecution archive: the resistance is documented by photographs and video, clear and complete; the persecution file, to this day, is a blank page — and the blankness itself is what this archive exists to record.
桥的档案：四通桥是北京海淀区的一座普通立交桥，位于北三环西路与中关村大街交汇处，周边是中国人民大学、双榆树居住区和中关村的写字楼群，桥下车流量在全市名列前茅。桥名“四通”取四面通达之意。2022年10月13日之前，它在任何新闻里都不会出现；之后，它同时出现在两个世界里：在墙外的报道和纪念活动中，它是地名加事件名的专有词；在墙内，它先是被整体删除的敏感词，后来连地理标注都一度难以检索。有网民在事发一周年时发现，部分北京过街天桥的栏杆被加高、加装了防护网，桥头看桥员的岗哨仍在。一座桥的遭遇，浓缩了这场抗争的全部后续：人被带走，词被删掉，桥被看守，而记忆在墙外继续生长。The bridge's file: Sitong Bridge is an ordinary Beijing overpass in Haidian District, where North Third Ring Road West crosses Zhongguancun Street, ringed by Renmin University, the Shuangyushu residential area and Zhongguancun's office towers; the traffic beneath it ranks among the city's heaviest. Its name, “Sitong,” means “reaching in four directions.” Before October 13, 2022, it appeared in no news at all; afterward it existed in two worlds at once. In reporting and commemorations beyond the firewall it is a proper noun, place and event in one; inside, it was first an entirely deleted sensitive word, and for a time even its geographic label was hard to retrieve. Around the first anniversary, internet users noticed that railings on some Beijing footbridges had been raised and fitted with protective netting, and the watchers' posts at bridgeheads remained. A bridge's fate condenses the whole aftermath of this protest: the man taken away, the word deleted, the bridge guarded — and the memory growing on, outside the wall.
档案来源：本条目依据的材料包括：抗议现场流出的照片和视频（多个角度互相印证）、彭立发本人在网上发布的自述文本存档、中国人权捍卫者网络（CHRD）2023年10月12日的声明、国际特赦组织的个案通报，以及路透社、美联社、BBC、RFA等对事件和后续纪念活动的报道。关于彭立发被带走后的任何具体消息——关押地点、罪名、审判、刑期、健康——本站在多次核查后确认：没有任何一项获得两个以上独立来源的证实。本站对抗争记录的原则是，影像能证明的写实，无人能证明的存疑；这一条目的空白部分，与写满的部分，同样属于档案。Sources for this entry: Materials behind this entry include the photographs and videos that came out of the scene (corroborating one another from multiple angles), the archived text of Peng Lifa's own online statement, CHRD's statement of October 12, 2023, Amnesty International's case bulletins, and reporting on the event and later commemorations by Reuters, AP, the BBC, RFA and others. On every specific claim about Peng after his seizure — place of detention, charge, trial, sentence, health — this site, after repeated checking, confirms that not one has been verified by two or more independent sources. The principle of these Resistance records is: what the images prove is written as fact; what no one can prove is left as doubt. The blank portions of this entry belong to the archive as much as the filled ones.
两周年核查：2024年10月，四通桥事件两周年，海外多座城市照例出现小型纪念：桥上挂横幅、墙上贴海报、烛光静坐。北京方面没有任何公开消息可以对照——那座桥有看桥员值守，桥名在地图上恢复了标注，车流如常。本站于2024年10月、2025年10月两次例行核查彭立发的法律状态，结论与前一年相同：无任何新的可信公开信息。他的家人据人权组织转述仍在监控下生活。在所有关于他的叙述里，这是唯一还在持续更新的部分：时间。一个人因为在桥上站了十几分钟，已经从公众视野里消失了三年多，而消失的原因、地点和期限，全部是国家机密——这本身就是本站要记录的事实。Second-anniversary check: In October 2024, at the second anniversary of the Sitong Bridge incident, small commemorations appeared as usual in cities abroad: banners hung on bridges, posters on walls, candlelit vigils. From Beijing there was no public information to set against them — the bridge had its watchers on duty, its name restored on the maps, its traffic flowing as ever. This site conducted its routine checks of Peng Lifa's legal status in October 2024 and October 2025, with the same conclusion as the year before: no new credible public information of any kind. His family, by human rights organizations' relayed accounts, still lives under surveillance. In everything narrated about him, the only element still updating is time. A man who stood on a bridge for a dozen minutes has now been absent from public view for over three years, while the reason, place and duration of the absence are all state secrets — and that, itself, is a fact this site exists to record.
名字的存档战：“彭立发”三个字在他被带走后的命运，本身就是一段档案。他的自述文章在几小时内被删除，网民随即开始接力保存：截图、转存海外站点、用谐音字和拆字法在帖子中提及，甚至有人把他的名字写进歌曲和游戏截图里。墙内平台的过滤词库随之一再扩充，“彭载舟”“立发”“四通桥”乃至某些时段的“北京桥”都被过滤。海外档案网站和维基百科则在数日内建立了他的词条，汇集横幅照片、他的自述全文和各国媒体的报道。两种相反的力量在同一周里赛跑：一边是让名字消失的系统，一边是让名字留下的普通人。本站这一条目和迫害纪实里的个案页，就是这场赛跑里的一环：只要还有一处能搜到他的名字和他做过的事，删除就没有完成。The archival war over a name: The fate of the three characters “Peng Lifa” after his seizure is itself an archive. His statement was deleted within hours, and internet users began a relay to preserve it: screenshots, offshore mirrors, mentions by homophone and split-character riddles, even his name worked into songs and game screenshots. Domestic platforms' filter lists expanded repeatedly in response — “Peng Zaizhou,” “Lifa,” “Sitong Bridge,” and for a time even “Beijing bridge” were filtered. Overseas archive sites and Wikipedia, meanwhile, built his entry within days, gathering the banner photographs, the full text of his statement and world media reports. Two opposite forces raced through the same week: a system for making a name disappear, and ordinary people keeping it alive. This entry, and the case file in this site's Persecution archive, are one link in that race: as long as one place remains where his name and his deed can still be found, the deletion is not complete.
复制者：彭立发在自述里希望有人复制他的做法，此后两年，真的有人照做。2023年2月，山东青年柴松用投影仪把习近平走人等字样投上济南一座商场的外墙，事后逃离中国，在海外公开讲述经过，自称正是受到四通桥的启发。2024年7月，湖南新化县一名刚走出大学校门的青年方艺融，在当地一座人行天桥上挂出仿四通桥样式的横幅，用喇叭循环播放口号，几分钟后被带走，此后长期与外界失联，据人权组织记录，其家属受到警方警告。两起事件相隔一年半、相距上千公里，当事人彼此并不相识：一个在桥上，一个在墙上，一个又回到桥上。彭立发设计的传播方式——一个人、一面墙或一座桥、十几分钟、靠路人的手机传遍全国——被完整地复现了两次；而复现者的下落，与首创者一样，沉进了沉默。The copiers: In his writings Peng Lifa hoped someone would copy what he did. Twice in the following two years, someone did. In February 2023, a young Shandong man named Chai Song used a projector to throw slogans demanding Xi Jinping's removal onto the outer wall of a shopping mall in Jinan; he then fled China and told his story publicly overseas, saying he had been inspired by Sitong Bridge. In July 2024, Fang Yirong, a recent graduate in Xinhua County, Hunan, hung a banner in the Sitong Bridge style from a pedestrian overpass and played slogans through a loudspeaker; he was taken away within minutes and remained cut off from the outside world, and according to rights organizations his family was warned by police. The two incidents were a year and a half and a thousand kilometers apart; the men did not know each other: one on a bridge, one on a wall, one back on a bridge. The method Peng designed — one person, one wall or bridge, a dozen minutes, carried nationwide on bystanders' phones — was reproduced in full, twice. And the copiers' fates sank into the same silence as the originator's.
文本的藏匿术：彭立发自述长文的发布方式，本身就是一份审查时代的行动手册。他没有把文章发在微博或微信，那里的政治文本活不过一小时；他把长文上传到国际学术共享平台，那是他平日查阅科研资料的地方，审查系统对那里的中文长文反应最慢。文章在那里存活了足够长的时间，被下载、截图、转存到多个海外存档站点，此后虽被删除，文本已经回不去了。文中附有行动的时间安排和横幅的制作方法，等于把一份可以照着做的说明书和一份遗书放在了一起：一份文本，两个用途。本站收录这份自述的存档时注意到，它的传播史和内容同样重要：一个普通人要让自己的话活过审查，靠的不是音量，是对系统缝隙的计算。Hiding a text in plain sight: The way Peng Lifa published his long manifesto is itself a manual for the censorship era. He did not post it on Weibo or WeChat, where political texts live less than an hour; he uploaded it to an international academic-sharing platform, a place he used in his research work, where the censorship system reacts slowest to long Chinese texts. It survived there long enough to be downloaded, screenshotted and mirrored to overseas archive sites; by the time it was deleted, the text could no longer be recalled. The document contained both the timetable of his action and instructions for making the banners — a do-it-yourself manual and a farewell letter in one file. Archiving that text, this site notes that its transmission history matters as much as its content: for an ordinary person's words to outlive censorship takes not volume, but a precise knowledge of the system's seams.
