Abstract
It all began when angry villagers accused the Party secretary of turning off the electricity to an ice lolly(binggunror popsicle) factory whose owner had refused to pay bribes. The lolly maker had not been paying his rent but that was no reason, they said, to melt his stock and to cause the bank to foreclose on the village's most profitable enterprise.Keywords
