The elder brother was unfilial, insulted and beat his parents, and after a bloody disaster, people sympathized with the "murderer".

Unfilial son, kitchen knife slashed at parents, and eventually himself

but died at the hands of his brother......

The incident first occurred on 25 August 2001.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning that day, Zeng Fujian, a 35-year-old farmer who lived in Group 2 of Sanhu Village, Jiancheng Town, Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, cooked noodles because there was no lard, so he asked his mother to eat in the stove for lard. Zeng Fujian was immediately furious, and insisted that his parents had hidden the lard, and he had to ask his parents to take out the lard. The parents really couldn't take out the lard, Zeng Fujian didn't believe it at all, he waved his fist and beat his parents, shouting at his parents to take out the oil while beating, the parents were old, they were beaten and rolled on the ground, kneeling to beg for mercy for their son, Zeng Fujian was really tired, so he stopped.

In the evening, the youngest son of the Zeng family, 28-year-old Zeng Fuchong, came back from working in the city, and his father, Zeng Jihan, told his younger son about the beating of the old couple, and showed the bruises and purple scars on his body to the younger son.

Zeng Fuchong was very angry, so he went to a consignment store where his brother often drank heavily to find his brother who was drinking heavily, and warned his brother not to beat his parents again in the future.

Then, Zeng Fuchong, who was tired all day, went home for dinner and went to bed early.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the drunken Zeng Fujian came home, because he was dissatisfied with his parents and complained to his younger brother, rushed into his parents' room, opened his bow left and right, beat his parents again, and went to find a wire, saying that he would strangle his parents to death.

The parents were so frightened that they ran away.

Zeng Fujian grabbed a kitchen knife and chased after him to hack his parents to death.

Zeng Fuchong, who was asleep, was startled by the screams of his parents, and hurriedly went out to check, and saw that his brother was chasing and slashing his parents, so he desperately pounced on it, grabbed his brother's kitchen knife and threw it aside, and helped his parents back to the room to rest.

Looking back, Zeng Fuchong saw his brother find a kitchen knife and sharpen it on the knife stone, Zeng Fuchong asked his brother "What are you going to do", Zeng Fujian said: "You don't care, you have to kill you together, Lao Tzu must kill them one by one tonight!"

Zeng Fuchong's blood suddenly surged, angrily found a steel drill, and hit the back of the head of his brother who was sharpening the knife, Zeng Fujian was hit, and he arched his waist in pain and shouted "ouch", Zeng Fuchong didn't do two and didn't stop, and he hit Zeng Fujian in the back of his head two or three times, Zeng Fujian immediately fell to the ground and died.

Zeng Fucong with his mother

50 villagers signed a petition strongly demanding the release of the murderer on bail......

After his brother fell to the ground and died, Zeng Fuchong immediately ran to the house of the villager leader, saying that he had beaten his brother to death, and asked the villager leader to send him to the public security bureau to turn himself in.

The leader of the village group reported the situation to the village party secretary, who immediately called the Jianyang City Public Security Bureau to report the case. On August 28, Zeng Fuchong was criminally detained.

A few days after Zeng Fuchong's detention, a petition stamped with the fingerprints of more than 50 villagers and the official seal of the village committee was sent to the Public Security Bureau, the Jianyang Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, and the Municipal Legal Committee.

According to the petition, Zeng Fuchong was a good young man, who often helped others, and was very filial to his parents, and relied on his hard work to earn money to build a brick and concrete house.

However, his brother Zeng Fujian, after his release from the labor camp, still did not change his bad habits, not only stealing chickens and touching dogs everywhere, making the villagers restless, but also extremely disrespectful to his parents, often beating his parents. Zeng Fujian was killed, and he was completely innocent.

The petition said that Zeng's father was 76 years old and disabled, and that his mother, who was also 68 years old and sickly, and hoped that the relevant authorities would release Zeng Fuchong with "grace" so that he could return home to fulfill his obligation to support his parents.

On 22 January 2002, the Jianyang City People's Court made a verdict after an open trial: Zeng Fuchong was guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced to three years' imprisonment, suspended for four years.

After the verdict was handed down, Zeng Fuchong, who had been imprisoned for more than five months, returned home.

When the news spread, the villagers were very happy and praised the people's court's fairness in its judgment. Sichuan TV's "Women and Children's Channel" made a special report on this, which produced strong repercussions in society.

The unfilial son has lost his humanity, and the elderly parents have been humiliated......

Zeng Jihan, 76, married Liu Suqun, who was 8 years younger than him, in 1952. After marriage, she had three children, all of whom unfortunately died. It wasn't until 1966 that she gave birth to her fourth child, which was Zeng Fujian, and then gave birth to her youngest son, Zeng Fuchong.

This used to be Fujian, since childhood, he was lazy and idle, and developed the bad habit of stretching out his hands for clothes and opening his mouth for food. If he was a little unsatisfactory, he scolded his parents for not being able to meet his needs. He thought that his parents were really incompetent, unwilling to work and paying attention to eating and dressing well, so he went to steal. In 1985, he was sentenced to four years in prison for theft.

After his release from prison, his younger brother worked to earn money to build a brick and concrete house. The brotherly brother gave up a room, let the elder brother Zeng Fujian settle down, and built a side shed as Zeng Fujian's kitchen.

It is said that after several years of labor reform, and after returning to a decent home, Zeng Fujian should live a good life. But he still has bad habits, and he is still idle and lazy.

He yelled and scolded his parents for three days to give him money to find a wife, and his parents said that he had no money, and he said that he shouldn't have given birth to me if he didn't have money, and he should give me money when he gave birth.

His parents said that he really had no money, so Zeng Fujian was furious, and he hit him, and he chased and beat his father until he broke his foot.

The younger brother Zeng Fuchong couldn't get used to his brother's virtue and dissuaded his brother not to go too far, Zeng Fujian said to his younger brother: "It's about your shit, it's troublesome, Lao Tzu will clean it up with you!"

Although Zeng Fujian eats with his parents and younger brother, he doesn't care whether he divides the stove or not, he still takes the things of his parents and younger brothers, and no one dares to do anything to him.

He often broke into the house, stole the food of his parents and younger brothers, and not only ate it, but also stole it to sell, and when he sold it, he became drunk.

He often steals chickens and dogs outside, and when he comes back from stealing livestock and poultry, he calls a group of fox friends and dogs, and closes the door to gnaw chickens and drink. When he was full and drunk, he shouted to play cards, but asked his mother to wash the dishes and chopsticks for him and clean up the leftover soup.

During the investigation, the neighbors said that the two brothers, Zeng Fujian and Zeng Fuchong, were raised by the same father, but their virtues were diametrically opposed.

Zeng Fuchong honored his parents, and the people in the village appreciated it.

But once in Fujian, I don't know what kind of heart is long, not even as good as a dog. often beats his parents and screams, and the neighbors don't dare to persuade him, whoever persuades him, he will get up with whomever he wants, insulting the neighbors, he is simply not human.

Neighbors said that an unfilial son like Zeng Fujian should have been burned by thunder and fire a long time ago, he didn't die, and he didn't know that his parents would suffer a lot of beatings!

In the interview, no one did not say that Zeng Fujian deserved to die.

Many people say that he should have died a long time ago!

Many acts of injustice provoke the anger of the people, and the ruffians of the land are indeed innocent......

Zeng Fujian, who had been sentenced for stealing, learned the lesson of the sentence after his release from prison, and no longer engaged in the big thieves who broke into the house by breaking the door and window, and climbed over the wall to break into the house.

According to the person he told the villagers when he was drunk, on the second night after he was released from prison, he went from house to house, stealing the aluminum pots and antimony pots used by the villagers to cook rice and selling them for scrap.

In some homes, there is still porridge in the pot, and he drinks it when he picks it up, and throws it out if he can't finish it, and then steals the pot.

He also led the sheep and stole sausages and bacon from several families that the villagers hung on the wall.

At that time, some villagers suspected that Zeng Fujian did it, and some bold villagers also asked Zeng Fujian, "Did you do it if the aluminum pot and antimony pot were stolen?"

The villagers couldn't help him, so they had to scold him in their hearts for "too lacking in morality!"

There are indeed too many things that lack morality in Fujian. During the interview, the villagers gossiped, saying that they could not finish talking about the lack of virtue that Zeng Fujian had done for three days and three nights.

Zeng Fujian traveled all day long, stealing wherever he went, today this family is a chicken, tomorrow there is a duck. Passing by in front of and behind other people's houses, he caught chickens, grabbed them, and twisted his neck to go home, and sometimes was seen by the owner, saying that he stole chickens, but he lied and said that this was the dead chicken he picked up.

"Picking it up is equivalent to buying it, and the gods can't help it!" The owner of the chicken saw him take the chicken away, but he couldn't take him.

Zeng Fujian had no money to buy clothes to wear, but he wore a lot of good clothes, pants and shoes. Where did it come from? Stealing, of course.

He often went to the front and back of other people's houses, and all the clothes that were hung outside other people's houses, if there were suitable clothes for him to wear, he would wear them on his body when he stole them, even the trouser forks.

If a man had a pair of leather shoes hanging on the windowsill and he saw that his feet fit, he would take off the worn-out shoes from his feet and put them on his feet at once.

Zeng Fujian's hand-in-hand move is really countless.

When he went home at noon, he would put the urine bucket for watering the ground on the mountain while the villagers were going home for lunch, and he would "pull" it on his shoulders, and after he went back, he would not use it, so he would "force" the neighbors to buy it, regardless of one yuan or two yuan, three yuan and five yuan would also be fine, as long as he could sell one pack or two packs of cigarettes.

The villagers applied chemical fertilizer in the field, and urea and other fertilizers were placed in the corners of the fields, and when Zeng Fujian bumped into them, he would also take the sheep away, and then still "forced" the neighbors to buy the fertilizer he stole and buy a few packs of cigarettes.

The crops came out, and it was the best time for Zeng Fujian to steal. When the peanuts came out, he went out in the middle of the night and pulled them with baskets on his back. Peas and beans, steal everything.

During the interview, the children in the village were even more gossipy, saying that Zeng Fujian had stolen corn and came back, boiled a big pot, and he couldn't finish it, so he called the children in the same yard to eat it together, and if they couldn't finish eating, they asked the children to take it home.

This is true for peanuts, peas, and beans. This year, next year, every year.

The children stubble after stubble, and according to some older girls and men in their twenties, they all ate the grain stolen from Fujian more than ten years ago.

He shouted that you must eat, and if you don't eat, he will beat you, saying that if you don't eat, he will denounce him, so that the children will not dare not eat.

Zeng Fujian knew that his sins were not shallow, and he was a thief, so he was often afraid that the public security bureau would arrest him (in 2001, he was arrested twice, once he escaped by himself, and once he was released on bail), he was "cunning and rabbit two holes", usually sleeping in the house, as soon as there was a wind and grass, he went to the roof platform, put a bed between the steps and slept between the steps. And tie a rope to the back of the house, and if there is any movement, he will slide down from the back of the house with the rope and escape.

He often "paid attention" to the situation of the "strike hard" campaign, and as soon as he heard that the "strike hard" was going to be carried out, he did not sleep at home at all.

Once, a woman in the same yard went to the thatched latrine shed on the hillside of her house to pick up dung, and when she bent down to pour the dung, she saw a human head suddenly appear from the grass next to the latrine, and the woman was so frightened that she fell into the dung pit and later fell seriously ill.

The person who slept in the thatched toilet shed was Zeng Fujian.

For Zeng Fujian's evil deeds, the villagers hated him to the core, and the village cadres also criticized him, telling him to change his evil and return to the right and "do more good things", he said, "Lao Tzu is too busy to do bad things, how can he still have the heart to do good things!"

Several elders in the community severely criticized him, and he became angry, and dug up a necessary way for the villagers to go up the mountain overnight, so that the villagers had to take a detour to go up the mountain to plant crops.

On the road that was dug up, some villagers tried to "save trouble" and wanted to walk on the road that was dug up to the width of a palm, but they fell and injured their feet, and no one dared to walk on that road again.

In the words of the villagers, the wicked man Zeng Fujian is indeed too hateful, so hateful that no one can afford to provoke it!

The villagers said that if he did not die, they did not know how many people he would suffer.

After Zeng Fujian's death, the villagers spontaneously approached the village chief and asked for Zeng Fuchong's release on bail, which fully reflected the villagers' bitter hatred for Zeng Fujian.

"Light sentences for serious crimes" are not a topic outside the case......

Zeng Fuchong deliberately and illegally deprived his brother of his life, but the court "committed a serious crime and gave a light sentence." In this regard, the author interviewed people from all walks of life, and generally held that the court's verdict was in line with the will of the people, in line with moral norms, and in line with the laws of the mainland, and there was nothing wrong with it.

First of all, the deceased had committed many evils and offended the anger of the public, and should not only be morally condemned, but also punished by law. He should have been punished by law for his abuse of his parents, but it was only when his parents did not sue him that he had no fear. In real life, in many families, children do not fulfill their maintenance obligations and abuse the elderly, and the law has not been punished by the law because of "not suing and ignoring". If the abused party is less forbearant and takes up legal weapons in time, the unfilial son may be less reckless.

Second, the laws of the mainland are people-oriented laws, and the Jianyang City People's Court can be said to have poured out sympathy for the weak in its trial. Taking into account that Zeng Fuchong would not cause harm to society, the sentence of three suspended sentences and four reprieves fully demonstrates the purpose of the mainland's law to protect the people. Zeng Fuchong's sentence of three reprieves and four sentences to make him fulfill his obligation to support his parents also fully reflects the protection of the people by mainland law. From this point of view, this verdict is in line with public sentiment and public opinion, and is commendable.

Third, some people believe that Zeng Fujian's lack of virtue and deeds that he did so many hateful things during his lifetime had a certain relationship with his parents' forbearance, and on the other hand, the grassroots organizations of the village groups also had a certain impact on his lack of help and education. Just imagine, if the family and society have taken strong measures to help and educate him, will Zeng Fujian really be so fearless? Zeng Fujian died, saying that he completely deserved it seemed inappropriate, and saying that he did not deserve to die did not seem to be the case. Therefore, if his family and society had been able to effectively help him, the tragedy of Zeng Fujian might not have happened. From this point of view, Zeng Fujian's death is still worthy of deep reflection.
