林玉萍 / Lin Yuping

Lin Yuping appears in 113.亨丽埃塔与那场将人类学送上审判席的谋杀案 as a contemporary comparison for Fieldwork Sexual Violence. The episode refers to her account of being sexually assaulted by a research subject during 2014 anthropology fieldwork in Zhengzhou, followed by monitoring and pressure from the alleged perpetrator’s colleagues.

The source uses Lin’s case to prevent a false geographical or cultural simplification of Henrietta Schmerler / 亨丽埃塔·施梅勒’s murder. Sexual violence in fieldwork is not presented as something that belongs only to reservations, remote places, poverty, or Indigenous communities; it can emerge wherever gender, access, state or professional power, and institutional self-protection intersect.
