A tragedy that erupted from an April Fool's Day joke - the Fudan University poisoning case, graduate student Huang Yang was poisoned by people in the same dormitory, and the poisoned drug was the highly toxic chemical N-dimethylnitrosamine.
After the police investigation, the suspect was Huang Yang's roommate Lin Senhao, and lin Senhao was finally officially executed. As soon as the verdict came out, 177 teachers and students jointly pleaded, but the court finally upheld the original judgment.
What happened to Lin Senhao, who was both a scholar and an excellent student? Just because of April Fool's Day jokes, do you kill your roommates? But why do hundreds of teachers and students have to intercede for a murderer?
His family was poor and he was bullied by his classmates since he was a child
Lin Senhao was born in an ordinary family in Guangdong, is the second eldest in the family, but the family of 5 children, so that the originally not rich family worse.
As the second brother, Lin Senhao has known since he was a child to save money and take care of his younger brothers and sisters. But because his family was poor and he wore torn clothes and shoes to school, he was often ridiculed by other students and even isolated from him.
Lin Senhao has known since he was a child that only by studying hard can he change his destiny, silently endure the shame of others, and every grade is at the top.
When it came time for the college entrance examination, Lin Senhao directly scored 780 points and was finally admitted to Sun Yat-sen University in China. The night he received the acceptance letter, Lin Senhao cried, and he was finally about to get rid of the shackles of poverty.
Finally can stand up straight, Lin Senhao, who entered the university, in order not to add pressure to the family. I have always been a work-study student, and I also sent home the scholarship I received to subsidize my family.
But these are far from enough in Lin Senhao's heart, he wants to go to a higher level, so with his own efforts, he was finally sent to Fudan University as a graduate student. Pursuing a Doctor of Medicine degree, the future is certainly bright.
A genius teenager in the eyes of others as a scientific research star
The reason for choosing to study medicine is very simple, first of all, Lin Senhao's mother has been in poor health, and Lin Senhao has secretly vowed since he was a child to become a doctor to cure his mother's disease.
The second is that medicine was a popular profession at that time, with wide development prospects and high salaries. As a graduate student, he published 8 papers, 5 of which were published with him as the first author.
Classmates all call Lin Senhao a scientific research star, but he is not a bully who only learns, and has participated in school club activities many times. He was also the vice president of the student council at that time, and he was also a prominent figure.
During graduate school, I met several favorite girls, but after the interaction, Lin Senhao did not have time to accompany his girlfriend because he went out to work. Coupled with the fact that he didn't have money to buy luxury goods and give gifts to his girlfriend, all of them ended up.
According to Lin Senhao's friends, he often laughed at himself that people like him were not worthy of love at all. In fact, he seems to be strong on the outside, but he has an inferior and fragile heart.
Especially after coming to Shanghai, Lin Senhao became more lonely, although he had high academic achievements, but when he gathered with his classmates, he always felt very inferior in his heart.
At the dinner table, everyone discussed designer shoes, or discussed which place nearby was more fun, these Lin Senhao could not put his mouth at all. He realized that perhaps the poor origin could not be changed.
But Lin Senhao, who is strong, does not want to show his fragile side, and will always show a very good fit. Later, the appearance of his roommate Huang Yang became a turning point in Lin Senhao's life.
The new roommate's mouth was unobstructed and the last straw that crushed him
Roommate Huang Yang originally had a verbal altercation with his roommate, and finally changed to a dormitory to become Lin Senhao's new roommate, Huang Yang was also born poor, but because he was the only son in the family, his life was still good.
Huang Yang is outgoing, and when he first came to the dormitory, in order to better integrate into the new environment, he pulled his roommates out to eat together. Huang Yang's familiar personality made Lin Senhao a little overwhelmed.
Lin Senhao won a national scholarship one year, almost 20,000 yuan, huang Yang followed several other students to congratulate, directly coaxed Lin Senhao to invite guests to dinner.
Lin Senhao, because he was worried about his family and wanted to send all the money back, refused on the spot. Huang Yang was a little unhappy at that time, thinking that it was not very common to invite guests to dinner?
Before leaving, he also complained that Lin Senhao was stingy, and other roommates immediately came out to play the round field, and finally this was not over. In fact, it is not difficult to think that a person from a humble origin is most afraid of hearing others say that he is poor and stingy.
Huang Yang's words at that time were directly inserted into Lin Senhao's heart like a thorn, and later Huang Yang often called Lin Senhao in front of everyone, Huang Yang felt that it was a joke, but Lin Senhao could not laugh.
When he heard others praise Lin Senhao for studying hard, Huang Yang quipped that his family was poor, and he would go home to farm after not working hard? Others praised Lin Senhao's good heart, and Huang Yang said that this was just a means for Lin Senhao to please people.
Huang Yang said these harsh words, thinking that he had a good relationship with Lin Senhao, which would deliberately quip. But speaking without heart, listening to the heart, the deeper the resentment between the two people turned out.
Lin Senhao felt that as long as he stayed up until he graduated from college, he would stay away from Huangyang and found a job in a third-class hospital. The roommates heard that they all came to congratulate and asked Lin Senhao where he planned to go after graduation.
Before Lin Senhao opened his mouth, Huang Yang came directly, he has no money, what graduation trip, you might as well ask me. Lin Senhao didn't say anything and left.
On April Fool's Day, the killer fell
Lin Senhao waited to graduate quickly and leave this troubled place, but one day on the eve of April Fool's Day, he could hear Huang Yang telling other roommates that he wanted to make a prank to make a whole group of people around him.
Lin Senhao, who was listening from the sidelines, suddenly had a nameless fire in his heart, and suddenly wanted Huang Yang to taste the taste of being joked by others.
Lin Senhao thought of learning a chemical in class, as long as the dosage is not large, it will make people feel uncomfortable and will not harm people's lives. So the next day, Lin Senhao dragged his friend to steal the drug.
This medicine is dimethylnitrosamine, which is ingested and inhaled even through the skin, and large doses can cause death, even a little bit of liver damage.
But dimethylnitrosamine is a yellow liquid, and if it is poured directly into a yellow ocean cup, it will definitely be found. So Lin Senhao thought of the water dispenser, and it happened that another roommate came home.
So Lin Senhao put the drug into the water dispenser, and on April Fool's Day, Huang Yang drank the water in the water dispenser, but after taking a sip, he felt that the taste was not right and spit it out.
Soon after, Huang Yang began to vomit, so he went to the hospital where Lin Senhao practiced. Huang Yang also asked Lin Haosen to help him do the examination, but Lin Senhao calmly said that he was fine.
By the next day, Huang Yang's condition deteriorated, his face swelled, and he was directly admitted to the intensive care unit. Even his father came to take care of Huang Yang.
In order to save money, he also lived in Lin Senhao's dormitory, and only then did he feel afraid. In those days, Lin Senhao did not dare to go back to the dormitory, did not dare to face Huang Yang's father.
However, he did not tell the truth, but went to the hospital with his classmates to visit Huang Yang's condition, but Huang Yang's condition did not improve at all.
It was not until someone suggested that it might be the cause of the chemical poison that the investigation direction was adjusted, and it was soon discovered that Lin Senhao's previously published paper was highly consistent with Huang Yang's symptoms.
Lin Senhao saw that the police had found him and immediately confessed his crime.
Huang Yang finally died on April 16, when he was only 28 years old, due to severe poisoning.
Calling it just a joke now regrets it
Faced with the interrogation of the police and lawyers, Lin Senhao began to say that he was just joking with Huang Yang, and he did not expect that a little chemical agent could directly take the life of his roommate.
In fact, from Huang Yang drank to lose his life, the whole process lasted for a long time, according to Lin Senhao's words, it was just a "joke", watching his life pass little by little, why not immediately tell the doctor the truth?
Don't you dare to tell, or don't want to tell?
When the police told Lin Senhao the news of Huang Yang's death, Lin Senhao said afterwards that his head was directly blank. Eventually, the affair between the two young people became a matter between the two families.
Lin Senhao was sentenced to death for intentional homicide. In order to save his son's life, his father repeatedly went to Huang Yang's parents to ask for forgiveness. The mother cried even more to the point of collapse, and even had to take quick-acting heart-saving pills.
They never imagined that their son, who was docile and filial in his daily life, would do something that would kill people. Even Lin Senhao's former friend, he was shocked to hear that things really wanted to happen.
Lin Senhao looked at his white-haired father, wept bitterly for his own affairs and even knelt down, saying sorry to his family again and again, and saying sorry to the victim's family.
But the wood has become a boat, everything is too late, and people cannot be resurrected from the dead. Huang Yang's family could not understand why Lin Senhao wanted to watch his son die, was it because of the small contradiction between the two?
As early as Lin Senhao, after hearing that he had been sentenced to death, he also made a confession, and what seemed to have suddenly been troubled became suddenly enlightened at that moment.
In the face of the reporter's question "Why did he not save Huang Yang from death", Lin Senhao thought for a while and replied: Because his own understanding and realm were not enough at that time, if he did not do this now.
On the day of the poisoning, there were actually many opportunities to terminate the plan, but Lin Senhao did not, his psychological state at that time, the trend he had to do.
177 teachers and students jointly interceded for Lin Senhao
But what is unexpected is that after the teachers and students in the school learned that Lin Senhao was sentenced to death, 177 teachers and students jointly wrote a letter to intercede for Lin Senhao.
On behalf of the school, the "Letter of Request for Not Sentencing Lin Senhao's Classmates to death" was submitted to the High People's Court, which also had the signatures of many teachers and students.
They believe that people cannot be resurrected from the dead, and if they can let Lin Haosen survive, then they can let him do filial piety for Huang Yang's parents. If Lin Senhao is executed, it will not only be a brain drain, but also another family.
However, the court finally upheld the original sentence at the second instance: the death penalty. If people make mistakes, they will be punished, and if everyone is gracious before the law, won't it allow more people to go unpunished?
But why would these teachers and students intercede for a murderer?
Because Lin Senhao is a very enthusiastic person in school, there are many people who have been helped by him, and even the patients in the intern hospital say that Lin Senhao has a good personality and always greets them warmly.
At that time, the Wenchuan earthquake, one side had difficulties, eight parties supported, at that time Lin Senhao only had 200 yuan of living expenses per month, but he saved money every day, and made up 800 yuan to support the disaster area.
In their hearts, Lin Senhao did not look like a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but it was because of his inferiority that Lin Senhao stepped into hell.
Lin Senhao wrote to his parents in prison, bluntly saying that everything was his fault, that he did not overcome his distorted personality traits, and hurt a group of people for the sake of his worthless self-esteem.
Even later, Lin Haosen begged his parents not to run around for himself anymore, and he was willing to accept any punishment, after all, he owed Huang Yang a life. Even if he was exempted from the death penalty, he was imprisoned for 20 years.
After coming out, it is directly out of touch with society, and it may drag down the family, so it is better to repay it directly now, and huang Yang's parents can also have an explanation.
He hopes that every parent should warn their children from an early age that no matter what choices they make, they must be responsible for what they do and say. In the end, under various public opinions, Lin Senhao was executed.
Lin Senhao's matter has aroused heated discussion
Lin Senhao finally paid a price for what he did, but the hot discussion did not disappear with Lin Senhao's death, and people asked why the high-achieving students in today's society frequently overturned?
Yunnan university student Magajue was treated unfairly by his roommates and brutally killed four roommates in just three days. Zeng Shijie, a college student in Sichuan, killed strangers because others laughed at him for being ugly.
And these are all children from the cold door, and the causes of tragedies are all because of friction in interpersonal relationships, and finally because of insults to self-esteem, and finally step by step in the wrong direction.
High-quality students do not represent high ability, originally it was just a small thing to say, one is dead or alive for the sake of face, and the other is intensifying. We only know how to take a step back from the sea and the sky, but how many people can do it?
Of course, these people with personality defects are no different from ordinary people in ordinary days, and some even look more normal than ordinary people.
What we have to do is to observe these people with character defects, give more care and enlightenment, so that they will not be bullied at will because of character defects.
Jokes are OK, but if it's a joke that always belittles the personality of others and makes people laugh, it's not a joke, it's a verbal attack.
Many people feel that now is a harmonious society, the death penalty can be abolished directly, in fact, the meaning of the death penalty does not lie in its behavior itself, but in deterrence of others, is the last line of defense to protect the lives of others.
Do you have any thoughts on what Lin Senhao did?
