Trying to make money on live broadcasts, a young guy named Chen, along with two of his friends, opened three coffins lying on the ground and took out the bones from one of them and began to pose with them for the camera. He was sentenced to nine months’ probation for trespassing.
In China last March, a 21-year-old blogger broadcast live on social media at an ancient cemetery. He opened the coffins at the burial site, sorted out the bones and even kissed the skull. It is reported by the South China Morning Post.
Chen traveled 2,000 kilometers to a centuries-old protected site in China’s southwestern province of Guizhou from his home in northeastern Liaoning province. The guy was detained by residents of a local village during an illegal entry into an ancient burial site in the Guoli cave. He was sentenced to nine months probation.
The young guy, along with his friends, led his stream on the little-known video platform Anmo, using an unidentified account. This came to light through a report released by the Longley County People’s Procuratorate, which filed charges against him on February 16. In addition, Chen told the police that he even kissed one of the skulls.

Guoli Cave dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). In 2015, the graves that were desecrated by the blogger were included in the list of protected cultural monuments. They are considered a living source of information for studying the ancestor worship of the Miao people.
The publication notes that about 400 people are buried in the natural cave, which Chen visited. Among them are both the ancestors of the local clan, surnamed Wu, and elderly people over 60 who have died recently.
The guy apologized to the descendants of the people buried in the cave, after which he received a nine-month suspended sentence.
Earlier, Focus wrote that a Chinese man robbed a gas station, and then hid in a cave from the police for 14 years. Liu Mouf, along with two accomplices, robbed a gas station, but the cash register that day was only $23. The police soon detained the accomplices, and the Chinese decided to hide safely in order to avoid the same fate.
It was also reported that in China, red squirrels help police catch drug dealers. A squad of six Eurasian red rodents are trained to sniff out drugs where dogs can’t get.
