For eight years, Ji Zhongxing sought justice for what he said was a beating by city guards that left him paralyzed. On July 20, he detonated a homemade bomb at Beijing international airport, injuring only himself, but raising questions over whether China can adequately address the grievances of increasingly marginalized members of society.

"(The city guards) beat him up for no reason," his brother Ji Zhongli said by phone.

"Take everyone's discontent seriously," read the headline to a piece about the event by the Xinhua Daily Telegraph. (AP)
