Tennis Star Peng Shuai accuses Zhang Gao Li of sexual assault in her post
Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai (彭帅) wrote and published a blog post on the night of November 2, 2021. After about 20 minutes, Peng Shuai's post was taken down without explanation.
In her lengthy post, the tennis star claims she was assaulted by former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli (张高丽) before starting an affair with him. The 35-year-old Peng Shuai, who has some 574,000 followers on her Weibo account, addressed her post directly to the 75-year-old Zhang Gaoli, who served as China’s senior Vice Premier (2013-2018) and was also a member of China’s highest ruling council, the Politburo Standing Committee (2012-2017).
Below is Peng Shuai's own blog translated from screen shots before it was taken down.
“I know I can’t say it clearly and that it’s useless to say. But I want to say it anyway. I’m such a hypocrite. I’ll admit I’m not a good girl, I’m a bad bad girl. About 3 years ago, you retired as Vice Premier. You found Dr. Liu at Tianjin Tennis Center to re-contact me. You asked me to play tennis at Kong Ming Building in Beijing.'
“After I had finished playing, you and your wife Kang Jie took me to your home. You took me to your room, and like what happened in Tianjin over ten years ago, you wanted to have sex with me. I was very scared that afternoon, I had not expected things to go this way. One person was standing guard outside. Nobody would believe that a wife would be willing to participate [in an affair].
We had an affair seven years ago, then you got promoted to the standing committee and went to Beijing. You never contacted me. Originally I planned to bury everything in my heart, as you did not plan to be responsible. Why then did you come back to look for me, and bring me to your home and force me to have sex? I do not have evidence, it is also impossible to have any evidence left. '
Afterward, you kept denying it happened. But the fact is you liked me and initiated it, otherwise I would not be able to connect with you.
That afternoon I was not willing and I kept crying. You said the universe is very, very big, the earth is only a grain of sand in the universe. We humans are not even as big as a grain of sand. And you said many other things. You asked me to put down the burden on my mind. I was still not willing after dinner. You said you hated me. You also said in the 7 years you never forgot me. You said you would be nice to me and so on.
I was afraid and I panicked, having rekindled my feelings toward you I finally agreed. Yes, it meant we had a sexual relationship again. Human feelings are complicated, as they are hard to describe clearly. Since that date, I opened up my love to you again...'
