Never test human nature.
This is the largest and deadliest maritime massacre since the founding of the nation, with the most severe social impact!
A fishing boat set out to sea with 33 people, but only 11 survived. Do you think they are survivors?
No, no, no. All 11 have become murderers, their hands stained with the blood of the remaining 22.
"Oppression, resistance, slaughter, betrayal—humanity's evil is vividly displayed in this case. Can you bear it?"
The narrator's gaze was cold as he spoke slowly, then waved his hand dramatically. "Enter this unprecedented maritime massacre."
On August 12, 2011, in Shandong Weihai, the severely tilted fishing vessel Lu Rong Yu 2682 was towed into port.
When rescuers arrived, they found the ship covered in rust, a bloody stench permeating the air. Out of 33 crew members, only 11 returned.
What horrific events transpired on this deadly journey?
*
Time of Incident: Back to October 5, 2010.
Lu Rong Yu 2682 was a deep-sea squid fishing vessel belonging to a seafood company in Rongcheng City. It was routinely dispatched to the depths of the ocean to catch squid and would return to swap out crew members for the next voyage.
This time, the company set its sights on one of the world's four major fishing grounds located in Peru.
The crew responsible for catching squid were mostly young men recruited temporarily from society, all eager to make money and willing to work hard.
The company promised the crew a base salary of 45,000 yuan per year, with a commission of 20 cents for every pound of squid caught. Each voyage lasted two years, meaning an ordinary crew member could earn at least 100,000 yuan.
Such an amount was already a fortune at that time. Shortly after the recruitment notice was issued, a small team of 35 people was assembled.
However, on the eve of their departure, the head chef, Yan Qiang, suddenly shouted in the middle of the night, "There's been a murder! There's been a murder!"
He then jumped into the sea and was rescued, after which he returned home to recuperate.
Another crew member, Wang Shubin, believed that trouble would inevitably arise after two years at sea, so the final number of crew members was reduced to 33, allowing both him and Yan Qiang to escape a calamity.
Time moved to December 27, 2010. With firecrackers popping loudly, the ill-fated fishing vessel Lurong Yu 2682 officially began its two-year voyage into the ocean.
At first, everyone got along well, playing cards and chatting together, dreaming of a wonderful life filled with squid fishing and striking gold.
But where there are people, there are conflicts.
Before long, factions began to form within this fishing boat, far removed from human civilization.
Captain Li Chengquan was undoubtedly the supreme ruler of the vessel. The management personnel on board were all his acquaintances and friends, most of whom came from Dalian; we referred to them as the Dalian Federation.
The group consisted of Captain Li Chengquan, First Mate Li Yizhong, Second Mate Wang Yongbo, newly appointed chef Qi Yong, and crew members Wu Guozhi, Jiang Shutao, Duan Zhifang, Cui Yong, along with Chief Engineer Wen Dou and Wen Mi—totaling 10 people.
The Heilongjiang Gang was led by Liu Guiduo and included Jiang Xiaolong, Huang Jin Bo, Liu Chengjian, and Wang Peng—totaling 5 people. The Inner Mongolia Gang was headed by Bao De and included Shuangxi, Dai Fushun, Bao Baocheng, Qiu Ronghua, and Shan Guo Xi—totaling 6 people.
In addition to these groups, there were 12 individuals without affiliation who temporarily became moderates.
In March 2011, after more than 60 days at sea, Lurong Yu 2682 finally arrived in the Peruvian waters of the Pacific Ocean and officially began its intensive fishing operations.
Since squid preferred to appear at night, the crew members slept during the day and worked at night. Moreover, this vessel was not advanced; each person had to keep watch over the squid fishing machines all night long. For inexperienced crew members, this job was not only tedious and disorienting but also involved a tremendous workload.
As time went on, the excessive fatigue led to unresolved psychological issues, causing everyone to become irritable and short-tempered. The entire fishing boat felt like a powder keg.
Before long, crew members Huang Jin Bo and Yue Peng fell ill, but Captain Li Chengquan not only failed to provide them with medical assistance but also decided to withhold their wages, showing a complete lack of humanity.
Moreover, some crew members, unable to handle their alcohol, frequently got into fights, resulting in chaos on board and a gradually tense atmosphere.
What infuriated everyone even more was the realization that their wages were not the guaranteed 45,000 yuan as promised, but rather calculated based on a monthly base salary of 1,000 yuan plus a bonus of 400 yuan per ton of catch.
Even working day and night, they often ended up with less than 2,000 yuan by the end of the month.
It turned out that the contract was full of traps.
The income was primarily divided into two clauses, stating that the guaranteed income of 45,000 yuan only applied if they failed to catch squid.
But how could they possibly go out to sea and not catch a single squid? Thus, they were forced into the second payment method, which was just the base salary of 1,000 yuan.
Most of these individuals did not have crew member certificates, and returning to seek justice would only lead to punishment; they had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Additionally, before going out to sea, everyone had advanced a portion of their wages to buy cigarettes, beer, and other leisure items. At this rate, they wouldn't just fail to make money; they would end up losing money for the company.
It was at this moment that they finally realized they had been deceived, but it was too late to reconsider.
