"I can only listen to TV programs
now," said 39-year-old She Xianglin with a deep sigh, desperation and disheartening
melancholy grasping his worn face.
After 11 years of wrongful imprisonment She was released on April 1 after his
wife that She had been convicted of murdering resurfaced, seemingly alive and
well.
In 1994 She was forced to confess the "crime" under torture from corrupt
police officers.
Settled in a rented room of a deserted building on the southern outskirt
of his hometown, She said he's like a fish out of water.
"I've got nowhere to although I have regained my overdue freedom," He said,
occasionally covering his cheeks with both hands as they hurt whenever he speaks
a lot.
The 11-hard-years behind bars has left him with a deformed index finger
on his left hand.
Due to an eye disease he got in jail, She has a very poor sight, which
confines him to his small room all day long.
She's grievance has kindled sincere sympathy among the public. Many from all
parts of China write to comfort him and encourage him to face his new life
bravely.
Impressing him most among more than 300 letters piled neatly on his desk is a
marriage proposal from a Shenzhen woman.
Police in Central China's Hubei Province agreed to pay compensation of
450,000 yuan (US$55,500) to She Xianglin and his family.
