A high-achieving student at Peking University was brutally murdered during an exchange study trip to the United States.
Can't imagine what kind of inhuman torture this 26-year-old girl suffered in a foreign country at that time, and when she was dying, she would desperately call out to her parents in her mother tongue?
Zhang Yingying has been killed and disappeared for 4 years, in addition to being the most deeply loved by Zhang Yingying's family in Shanghai and her boyfriend who has loved her for many years, her story has been slowly forgotten.
However, the murderer has not yet been punished as he deserves, and he has only been sentenced to life imprisonment for such a crime, and he is still alive in the world!
If the murderer doesn't have to pay for it, isn't that encouraging crime?
If the cost of breaking the law is so small, there is no guarantee that no one will follow suit.
Zhang Yingying's boyfriend Hou Xiaolin angrily said in front of reporters, "We will never agree with this trial result." ”
In court, the murderer confessed his crime with a relaxed face and spat out the cruel means in an understated tone.
But this was not a discovery of his conscience, but a practice he did to mitigate his sentence.
Because long before the arrest of the murderer Christensen, the police had already found the last surveillance footage before Zhang Yingying's disappearance.
At that time, the girl, because she was in a hurry to sign a rental contract with the landlord, missed the bus 1 minute late.
In the surveillance footage, zhang Yingying can also be clearly seen chasing the bus, and it is this 1 minute that makes her agree to the seemingly kind Christensen's help.
But what Zhang Yingying, who has only been in the United States for a few months, does not know how dangerous such behavior is, and the man in front of her is not a kind person, but a demon in human skin.
After the tragedy, Zhang Yingying's father said bitterly, "They all blame me for not having money, so yingying still has to rent a house, otherwise she would not have encountered such danger." ”
Zhang Yingying's family is just an ordinary family, all of which depend on her father, who drives a long-distance bus, her mother occasionally does odd jobs, and there is a younger brother in the family.
Zhang Yingying's parents are not at a high level of education, and Zhang Yingying is the pride of their whole family and the pride of their small mountain village.
Christensen drove away carrying Yingying Zhang, and U.S. investigators quickly identified him as a suspect after seeing the surveillance records.
Investigators first approached Christensen's girlfriend and asked him to install a bugging device to paraphrase Christensen's words.
With the recording, the police quickly identified Christensen as the killer because he admitted his actions very calmly.
And he had no intention of repenting, and during the two-year trial, Christensen never said a word of sorry to Zhang Yingying's family.
As the trial progressed, the details of Zhang Yingying's murder were also exposed, and the murderer's crime scene was in his bathroom.
Poor Zhang Yingying was brutally killed here, and both the crime tools and Christensen's mattress had Zhang Yingying's blood DNA.
Zhang Yingying's parents, who learned of this, couldn't help but burst into tears, and Hou Xiaolin, who had interrupted his doctoral studies, also burst into tears.
Hou Xiaolin had originally planned to propose to Zhang Yingying in a few months, he was ready for everything, just waiting to enter the palace of marriage with his beloved girl, but who knew that such an accident would happen?
Hou Xiaolin and Zhang Yingying met when they were in college, when they had both just entered the university's school.
The same two people are quickly attracted to each other, Hou Xiaolin can play the guitar, he will write songs for Zhang Yingying.
When Hou Xiaolin played the guitar and sang songs written for Zhang Yingying, Zhang Yingying would always hold her chin and smile sweetly, and the two looked up at each other, and their eyes were all love for each other.
Later, Hou Xiaolin and Zhang Yingying were admitted to Peking University for graduate school together, and in their future plans, they had already agreed to be teachers in the university together and raise children together.
By the time Zhang Yingying was killed, they had been in love for 8 years.
Hou Xiaolin said: "In my heart, Yingying has long been my wife, and I will take care of Yingying's parents like I took care of my parents." ”
Although the man's eyes were still red, he made such a firm commitment in front of everyone.
Later, after Dr. Hou Xiaolin graduated, he gave up the olive branch thrown by various high-paying jobs and chose to go to the mountains of Meizhou, Guangxi, as an ordinary volunteer teacher.
Hou Xiaolin said, "Yingying wanted to be a teacher before she was born, and I came to fulfill this wish for her. ”
At the mention of Zhang Yingying, Hou Xiaolin's face became obviously soft, and he held a notebook in his hand and carried it with him all the time.
Because it was the notebook in front of Zhang Yingying's body, Hou Xiaolin also brought her spare glasses, as if she could also take Yingying to witness all this with her own eyes.
Hou Xiaolin, who came to the mountain, dressed very plainly, gave chinese lessons to the local junior high school students, told them about the outside world, and encouraged the children to read well and go out of the mountain later.
As a 21st-century Kochi youth, Hou Xiaolin was originally a staunch materialist youth, but when students asked him if a person would have a soul after death.
Hou Xiaolin was silent, although reason told him that this was impossible, but his heart was full of expectations for the existence of souls in the world.
He began to want to really have an afterlife, and he thought that if he was given another chance, he would definitely protect Zhang Yingying and marry her home early.
When Zhang Yingying's parents rushed to a foreign country for their daughter, Hou Xiaolin was always with him, and when the two elderly people were unable to face it, he would stand in the front and bear everything.
Hou Xiaolin represented Zhang Yingying's parents, speaking up for them, but also expressing the resentment in his heart, feeling completely strange and angry that the murderer did not have to pay for his life.
Later, more than two years had already worn away the spirit of Zhang Yingying's parents, and they finally confessed their fate, only wanting to take their daughter's body home and let her fall leaves and return to her roots.
However, the murderer refused to tell Zhang Yingying the whereabouts of her bones, and said that he had split her body and thrown it into a garbage can, and had long been transported to the garbage station and compressed together with other garbage.
Zhang Yingying's parents, who had been hit again, did not even have the strength to be angry, and they appealed over and over again, but the court sentenced them to stop the search for the remains.
After being forced to return to China, Zhang Yingying's family still lived in great grief, and Zhang Yingying's mother often had nightmares, dreaming of her daughter tearing her heart and lungs and shouting: "Mom, I am in so much pain." ”
Zhang Yingying's mother, who was awakened by the nightmare, sat in the dark, and the tears on her face were already wet.
Zhang Yingying's father continued to work for the sake of his son and wife, and it seemed that he was just much more silent than usual.
But only he knew in his heart that his heart had been shattered with the death of his daughter, who had always been her pride, and even she was not good at words, and she smiled proudly when she mentioned her daughter.
But now, the good daughter, after a trip to the United States, has never returned, and he has never hated his incompetence so much.
Because she could not earn money, her daughter once had the opportunity to study in Canada, but because of the tuition fee of 80,000 yuan, she refused.
To the United States for exchange and study, there will be a subsidy of 1700 US dollars per month, Zhang Yingying's father thought, it is because of his own inability, so that his daughter is so thrifty, will go to the United States.
Feeling extremely sad, Zhang Yingying's father took all the responsibility on himself, as if through the act of self-blame can alleviate some of the sadness of losing his daughter in his heart.
At these times, Hou Xiaolin could only do his best to comfort Zhang Yingying's parents, but he forgot that he was also a face of vicissitudes.
Zhang Yingying's parents looked at Hou Xiaolin's efforts, both touched and distressed, they said, "Look ahead, Yingying and us." ”
Hou Xiaolin just smiled bitterly, his heart could not let go of others, in his first 30 years of life, the most important person was Zhang Yingying.
Now that she had been taken away by the demon, Hou Xiaolin would never give up looking for her, even if there was no hope at all.
Zhang Yingying's mother said, "I have thought about Yingying wearing a wedding dress countless times. ”
"I think my Yingying is still there, how can I say that I lost the trash can..."
Zhang Yingying's mother said, the tears could not help but flow down again, the past few years of losing her daughter, she almost shed the tears of this life.
Seeing that Hou Xiaolin was so concerned about her daughter's affairs, she was both proud that someone was so good to her daughter, and sad that her daughter would never see all this again.
Zhang Yingying's mother held Hou Xiaolin's hand, and she already regarded him as her own son in her heart, and she couldn't bear to see that he had been living in grief.
Zhang Yingying's mother said to Hou Xiaolin, "Let's take another step." ”
But Hou Xiaolin asked rhetorically, "Can you forget Yingying?" You can't, and neither can I. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yingying's mother was even more in tears, she saw girls on the street who were similar to her daughter's age, and she always felt that she was like yingying herself.
A demon that hurts a life and destroys a family.
But this demon did not get the punishment it deserved, how could Zhang Yingying's family let go, how could it be forgotten, and Zhang Yingying's parents did not give up their appeal to Christensen until now.
Until Zhang Yingying's younger brother Zhang Xinyang gave birth to a son after marriage, the dismal atmosphere in the Zhang family was finally diluted.
Zhang Xinyang's study is not as good as his sister's, just a helper in the restaurant, and his sister was also the pride of his heart.
When he learned the bad news of his sister, Zhang Xinyang could know that the top pillar of the family had fallen on him, and he had to support the family.
The arrival of new life, the loud crying of the baby, finally let this dead family come alive, Zhang Yingying's mother held her grandson, and finally had a sustenance in her heart.
We always feel heartache for Zhang Yingying, and we also hope that her family's life can look forward, as long as anyone still remembers Zhang Yingying, she is still in this world.
