【新唐人2011年9月27日訊】原遼寧省鐵嶺市常務副市長、遼寧省農村信用社聯合社主任袁衛亮，失蹤三天後，屍體被撈出。儘管瀋陽警方聲稱，袁衛亮是因爲精神抑鬱導致溺水自殺死亡，但袁衛亮的真實死亡原因還是引發外界輿論的猜測。
袁衛亮，畢業於清華大學精密儀器系，遼寧大學經濟學碩士，經濟學博士。袁衛亮在離開鐵嶺市之前是市委常委、常務副市長。在投入數千億元人民幣的鐵嶺新區建設中擔任重要職務。
袁衛亮自9月18號失蹤，三天後屍體在遼寧渾河被撈出。警方聲稱袁衛亮是由於精神抑鬱，導致他溺水自殺死亡。
但有輿論認爲，袁衛亮是鐵嶺新區，從規劃到建設的重要參與者和知情人，掌握很多不為人知的內幕，這可能是導致他死亡的一個原因。
遼寧省李先生：「我聽説有鐵路方面的高官被抓了，可能他跟這方面有關。」
據了解，一位曾經在袁衛亮身邊工作的鐵嶺市政府正處級官員說，袁衛亮說是自殺，這讓他不敢相信，更不知道這渾河到底有多渾！
原中共瀋陽宣傳部官員張凱臣：「說他抑鬱症也好，說他苦惱，說他自殺，我想這個事情就是掩蓋當前（中共）它這種政治、經濟、社會矛盾尖銳激化的一種新型的手段。 隨著它們這種統治的苟延殘喘，這種事情發生的頻率會越來越高，直至導致矛盾的大爆發，然後崩潰，反映（中共政權）崩潰前的前兆。」
原中共瀋陽宣傳部官員張凱臣認爲，不管民衆相不相信，也不管真實內幕如何，中共都會硬編一套説辭，因爲它現在面臨內困外憂的局面，已經顧不過來了。
張凱臣：「連續在全國各地，官員死掉，副市長、書記、市長啊，連續好長時間了，這説明中共官場上層鬥爭很尖銳，各種矛盾爆炸性的發展，而且尖銳的不可調和。説明（中共）管理上失控。中共爲了能掩蓋真相也好，維持它的統治也好，就不惜殺人滅口，掩蓋真相。」
《財新網》的一份《近年因抑鬱症自殺一覽表》顯示，從2006年至今，中共官員自殺事件呈上漲趨勢。官方最後給出的原因幾乎完全相同：精神壓力大或有抑鬱症。
文章「憂鬱的官員和抑鬱的社會」質疑，抑鬱症最終被官方確定為或者被選擇為自殺原因，是因為抑鬱症的症狀不明顯因而不為人所察覺，也因此不易驗證嗎？在一個普遍缺乏乃至喪失信任的機制下，一個真相又如何去證明自己的真實性呢？
不過，也有博客文章分析，現今的中共官場競爭壓力增大，官員收取賄賂、嫖賭、欺壓百姓等，以及其它一些見不得陽光的事情需要保密，放在心裡十分沉重，遇到爆發臨界點，中共官員總愛患上抑鬱症甚至自殺也就不足爲奇。
張凱臣「自殺也是有可能的，被自殺也是現實的，中共這種專制體制不打碎，中共不解體，不被推翻，中國人民永遠沒有真理、沒有公平、沒有正義。給它賣命的也好，反對它的也好，曾經給它賣過命或一直反對它的也好，在中共暴政面前只能被它所埋葬、被它所碾碎、而且死無葬身之地，還死無明確的一種名目。」
張凱臣認爲，這就是中共殘暴統治的專制體制對中國人民的殘害。

CCP Official』s Death: Suicide or Else?
Yuan Weiliang, ex-Deputy Mayor of Tieling, Liaoning province
and Director of Liaoning Rural Credit Union, was found dead
in a river after missing for three days.
Police claim that Yuan suffered from depression,
which led to his suicide drowning.
The real cause of Yuan』s death sparked public speculations.
Yuan Weiliang, a Tsinghua University graduate who obtained
his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in economics from Liaoning Univ.
was Deputy Mayor of Tieling city and a standing committee
member of the Chinese communist party (CCP).
Yuan held an important position in the Tieling New District
construction, an investment of hundreds of billions RMB.
Yuan was reportedly missing since September 18, 2011.
Three days later, his body was found in the local Muddy River.
The police claimed that Yuan suffered from depression,
which caused his suicide drawning.
Analysts believe that Yuan, as an important participant in
the Tieling New District construction, knew a lot of
inside stories, which might contribute to his death.
Mr. Li in Liaoning: “I heard that some officials from
the railway system have been arrested.
This may be linked to Yuan』s death.”
An official who used to work with Yuan said that
he did not believe Yuan committed suicide.
He said he wondered how “muddy” the Muddy River is!
hinting there could be other causes to Yuan』s death.
Zhang Kaichen (ex-official of the CCP Propaganda Dept. in
Shenyang): “No matter how Yuan was said to die from
depression or suicide, I think that this is CCP』s new means
to cover up the intensification of social conflicts.
I believe that similar issues will occur more frequently.
The accumulation of tension will finally end up with
a great outbreak. This is a precursor of CCP』s collapse.”
Zhang Kaichen believes that no matter whether civilians
believe it or not, or how the real inside stories are,
the CCP can always compile a set of excuses to curb it,
because the CCP is currently in crisis and
cannot afford much time and energy to meddle with it.
Zhang Kaichen: “Across China and for quite long a time,
there are CCP』s officials who have reported death,
such as mayors and the CCP secretaries among others.
This shows that internal struggle among CCP top officials
has been very intense, with various conflicts escalated.
That is to day, the CCP cannot control the situation.
In order to cover up the truth and maintain its rule,
the CCP authorities never hesitate to kill.”
An online article on Caixin.cn
“List of Recent Suicides by Depression”
shows that since 2006, the CCP officials』 suicide cases
have kept rising, but the explanation is almost the same for
all the cases: dying from high mental stress or depression.
An article entitled “Melancholy Officials and the Depressed
Society” questioned that depression was officially set up or
chosen as a cause for suicide by the authorities,
just because its symptoms of depression is not
easily perceived and therefore difficult to be verified?
But in a social system generally lacking credit or trust,
how can a truth prove its authenticity?
As some blog posts analyze, the competitive pressures of
the CCP officialdom have become increasingly large.
Many dirty things have to be kept confidential, such as
bribery, prostitution and gambling, or bullying civilians, etc.
They feel the pressure to keep the dirty things confidential,
so when they finally reach a critical point,
the CCP officials may experience an outbreak of depression
or suicide due to depression, which is not a surprise.
Zhang Kaichen: “It is possible for them to commit suicide.
It is also possible that they died from other reasons
but claimed as suicide by the CCP authorities.
If the CCP』s autocratic system is not broken or collapses,
Chinese people will never possess truth, fairness and justice.
Anyone who worked hard to support it could only be buried
and crushed by the CCP tyranny, without an explicit reason.”
Zhang Kaichen believes that this is the CCP’s brutal ruling
and the harm this autocratic system brings to the Chinese.
