When she was 13-years-old, she was raped multiple times by a Nanyang Middle School teacher surnamed Song, and not long after again seduced multiple times into sexual relations by her uncle-in-law. Although these two offenders were respectively sentenced to 9 years and 8 years of imprisonment, they caused Song Dan great psychological damage. After she grew up, her parents’ reckless and unreasonable method of upbringing with scolding and hitting further deepened her resentment and rebellion.

Song Dan, drifting in society, became addicted to the internet, making a large amount of internet friends, learned to smoke, drink, and staying out all night without returning home. One morning around National Day holiday in 2005, after just turning 18-years-old, Song Dan was taken to the execution grounds.

Liu Yiping, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport ticketing agent, executed after being convicted of embezzling 550,000, the illicit gains recovered. While in prison before her execution, she corresponded with her husband many times, and wrote over 10,000 words down in a diary, expressing her remorse for her crime. She was executed by shooting at 23 years of age.

Liu Yiping saved everything she had embezzled, not spending a single cent, therefore not causing any irreversible economic losses, yet was still sentenced to death. Because it was a high point in cracking down on economic crimes, she was made an example of.

22-year-old Dong Ying was a member of Qingdao Shinan District sub-district office and had an extreme greed for money. She colluded with Zhang Hongwei and Gu Tao to trick Yang Qian, the daughter of Qingdao Zhanshan police officer Yang Bucong, into going to Nanjing under the guise of studying abroad. There, they injected her with anesthesia but upon seeing that she did not die, Dong Ying went out to buy more anesthetics to inject her with, but ultimately the alive and well Yang Qian had to be smothered to death, robbed of 61,000 yuan.

Afterward, under the guise of treating them to a meal to discuss going abroad to visit [their daughter], the three murdered Yang Bucong and wife Xu Chunmei. This resulted in a shocking “entire family murdered” case. When the court sentenced Zhong Hongwei, Dong Ying, and Gu Tao to death for murder, robbery, and illegal trafficking of guns and ammunition, female criminal Dong Ying collapsed to the ground.

Liu Yu and Wang X, both living in Pukou, were classmates throughout primary and middle school but lost touch after graduating. In 1998, a chance encounter sparked a romantic relationship between Liu Yu and Wang. In November 1999, Wang went to Jinhua in Zhejiang province for work, and the two began exchanging letters to keep in touch. Missing Wang, Liu Yu even went to Jinhua alone to see Wang, and Wang was extremely moved. However, Liu Yu felt a sliver of distress and a lot of pressure because she was only a middle school graduate while Wang was aggressively and ambitiously preparing to apply for college, and Wang’s mother demanded that she earn a college diploma or not be allowed to enter their family.

Liu Yu searched for work everywhere but failed due to her low educational qualifications, adding to her “sense of crisis”. At the same time, she also felt the relationship between Wang and her was not as strong as before, and gradually developed a pessimistic outlook. As a result, Liu Yu purchased sleeping pills and a fruit knife, preparing to commit suicide, but upon thinking of Wang whom she deeply loved and being reluctant to part with him, she instead asked Wang to meet her at a hotel. After they met that night, Liu Yu secretly placed 40 tablets of sleeping pills into the coffee she had prepared for Wang to drink. After Wang feel asleep, the idea of dying together with Wang suddenly came to Liu Yu. So, she put on her clothes, retrieved the knife from her bag, aimed it at Wang, and stabbed him. After killing her boyfriend, Liu Yu again went out to buy sleeping pills, planning to commit suicide, but was arrested by the police.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have been ill-fated, because of their beauty, but even more because of an unequal society. It is mine manager Ding and the head of the working group who truly deserve to die. One weak woman, how is she supposed to protect herself? So sad, such a pity!

河北省保定市网友 枫叶晚情:

Instead of executing major criminals and evildoers, only the weak and small and executed. This is the shamelessness of China’s laws/legal system.

四川省网友 当沧桑不以泪洒:

Don’t be too emotional, China cannot wantonly abolish the death penalty. China’s high courts are like this, those who shouldn’t be executed are, while those who should aren’t. Executed and not executed, the decision is always correct.

上海市浦东新区网友 hhsm333:

Apart from the drug trafficker, as well as the adulterer who murdered her husband, the rest should not have been executed, and even blameless/innocent of committing a crime. The first few should have been overturned/exonerated, and given compensation by the state.

北京市网友 手机用户:

What kind of law/legal system is this? A lot of these are all different degrees of justifiable self-defense. In China, that’s worthy of the death penalty?

上海市网友 手机用户:

These members of the state machine who shoot people in the back of the head, I wonder if they’re able to sleep at night? Taking the lives of these young people, some of whom are innocent and only guilty of minor forgivable crimes, I wonder if they’re able to find peace in their lives?

河南省平顶山市网友 流泪中国:

The editor was too careless with the images, even posting obviously PS‘d photographs. One should investigate clearly the details of a case before making conclusions, not just post some things found on the internet. The description of Ren Xue’s case in the article simply has never been heard of before!

河南省驻马店市网友 woaiwc88:

Fake, the photo of Tao Jing supposedly in 1991 being executed, I noticed that the shoulder straps of the police behind her are those after the change in uniforms. However in 1991, the uniforms had not yet been changed, such a deception to the masses, and the fourth photo is even more PS‘d photograph. Those with a discerning eye can tell with just one look.

辽宁省鞍山市网友 中国大龙:

An individual’s sadness, a society’s sadness.

北京市网友 手机用户:

It doesn’t matter how big the crime, those with money will not suffer the consequences. Those without money, however, will be shot even for the smallest crime. This is what China is like.

四川省成都市网友 手机用户:

Women commit crimes are always because of a man who deserves to die! None of these women deserved to die!

天津市网友 手机用户:

Shot for embezzling 550,000? Then what about those who are now embezzling hundreds of millions, how come we don’t see anything happening to them?

东省东莞市网友 手机用户:

How come Guo Meimei isn’t amongst them? Didn’t she embezzle as well?

北京市网友 BFENG12003:

How many souls who died unjustly are watching China? In China, when can we truly give the weak the chance to avoid being wronged?

What do you think?
