Xu Zhihui

Xu Zhihui, also known online as Jack Latiao, was publicly identified in 2023 after footage showing the abuse and killing of a black-and-white cat circulated online. Reporting places the case in Funan County / Fuyang, Anhui, China. The surviving public record does not line up perfectly on every point. Some sources place the core events in mid-March 2023, while others refer to April 15, 2023. The broad facts, however, are consistent across reporting: a black-and-white cat was abused, killed, and the footage spread online, leading to intense public anger. The case drew particular attention because it exposed a gap between public outrage and available legal tools. Chinese police announced administrative detention, but the case was widely discussed as evidence of the lack of a comprehensive anti-animal-cruelty framework for cats and dogs. For that reason, this page records not only the individual and place involved, but also the uncertainty around disputed details. Where dates or procedural details differ by source, that uncertainty should remain visible instead of being flattened into a single unsupported claim.
