This chapter confronts head-on the perilous chain of “being oppressed — failed redress — personal humiliation — despair — revenge — imitative spread,” whose root lies in the antagonism between officials and the people that has been stirred up as Xi Jinping’s CCP, through rapacious plunder and drain-the-pond-to-catch-the-fish exploitation, accelerates the destruction of the economy and the seizure of wealth. It neither romanticizes the harming of innocents as resistance nor simplistically ascribes such incidents to individual mental derangement in a way that obscures their institutional roots; it distinguishes lawful rights defense, nonviolent resistance, revenge aimed at specific perpetrators, political violence aimed at public authority, indiscriminate mass harm, and the wave of social violence that coalesces from frequently recurring incidents—studying their frequency, clustering, transmission, shifting targets, state response, victims, and responsibility, and assessing how such incidents escalate from a public-order crisis into a crisis of legitimacy and a trigger for regime change. CONCRETE ENTRY POINT. Some people kneel to plead, petition, and litigate again and again yet find no way out; others, after losing their housing, savings, jobs, children, or dignity, turn their final rage against themselves, against specific perpetrators, or against wholly unconnected strangers. A single incident may be merely a tragedy, but when such incidents recur and are imitated, interpreted, and politicized, they may become a signal of social rupture. SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARY. The “xianzhong” discourse — indiscriminate revenge killing — is an Internet buzzword, a social-psychological symbol, and a category of events to be studied; it is not treated as a positive political concept. Acts that harm the innocent are unequivocally condemned by this system, which calls for their prevention and for accountability under the law; but this must not lead us to record only the moral conclusion while deleting the frequent recurrence of incidents, their imitative spread, the shifting of targets, social sympathy or mistaken heroization, official suppression of information, the response of the military and police, and the effects on the regime. The objects of study may include the possibility of the violent elimination of the CCP, yet the published content must not include methods, target selection, weapon optimization, evasion of detection, or information on organizing action. FIVE-LEVEL ESCALATION SCALE. E0 is a rise in resentment and violent rhetoric; E1 is isolated acts of revenge or indiscriminate incidents; E2 is a marked increase in the frequency of similar incidents across time and geography, together with imitation; E3 is a rise in actions directed at public authority, in group confrontation, and in politicized interpretation; E4 is large-scale violence, the fracturing of the military and police, loss of local control, and regime upheaval. Escalation or de-escalation must rest on verifiable data, statistical definitions, alternative explanations, and clear time frames　Folder · PG-E
