彭帅被删微博全文 (Full Text of Peng Shuai’s censored Weibo post)
Vision China Times, November 4, 2021Excerpt (translation by HRIC):
"About three years ago, you, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, had retired. You contacted me through Dr. Liu of the Tianjin Tennis Center to ask me to play tennis in the Kangming Building in Beijing. After playing in the morning, you and your wife Kang Jie together took me to your home. Then I was taken into a room at your home, and, just like more than ten years ago in Tianjin, you want to have sex with me.
“I was very scared that afternoon. I didn't expect it to be like this. A person stood guard outside. No one could possibly believe that a wife would agree to this. . . . "
"It is true that I have no evidence; and it is impossible to preserve evidence. After that, you kept denying it. But it is a fact you liked me first; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to contact you. That afternoon, I didn't give my consent and kept crying . . . .
"You have said that you are not afraid. But I will tell the truth about you—even if it is like an egg hitting a rock, or a moth flying into the flame."
