Tanmen, Hainan. He was the veteran fisherman tasked with guiding his young cousin during a 2007 fishing expedition in the waters near the Spratly Islands.

But Chen Yibin, 48, ended up having to pack his 20-year-old relative's body into a freezer that was meant to store fish, as he made a three-day dash back to their hometown here.

To this day, Chen believes his cousin was killed by Filipino soldiers who boarded the Chinese fishermen's boat, charging that it had strayed into Philippine waters and then firing at them.
