Background
In this seemingly mundane world, there are dark corners that always make people shudder. "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight", this sentence has been extremely embodied in an ordinary family in Guangzhou. Between 2021 and 2022, there was unspeakable pain hidden behind a seemingly ordinary family. A man named Zhu Qin repeatedly raped his 11-year-old niece Zhang Hua (both pseudonyms) in the name of picking him up from school. The severity of this kind of crime, which takes place in a family environment that should be most protected and loved, can be seen. Under such circumstances, we can't help but ask, what is the moral bottom line of this world?
The Nightmare: The Betrayal of a Trusted Man
At the beginning of 2021, Zhang Hua just turned 11 years old, which is an innocent age. At a time when she was supposed to be full of laughter and happy learning, she suffered a series of nightmares. Her uncle, Zhu Qin, was her mother's brother-in-law and was supposed to be her trusted elder. However, the uncle took advantage of the opportunity to pick up Zhang Hua from school and raped her in the car. This crime lasted not just once, but for a year and a half.
Silent Pain: Silent Fear and Struggle
When it first happened, Zhang Hua did not dare to reveal this terrible secret to anyone due to her youth and fear, coupled with Zhu Qin's threats. Her heart is full of confusion and pain, and she lives in fear every day, but she can't turn to the outside world for help. Under Zhu Qin's seemingly ordinary appearance, there was a hidden soul that was inferior to a beast, and his behavior gradually intensified and became unscrupulous.
It wasn't until September 2022 that this tragic experience was discovered by Zhang Hua's parents. They immediately called the police, and then Zhu Qin was criminally detained by the Public Security Bureau. The long arm of the law finally began to intervene, and the Panyu District Court of Guangzhou City tried Zhu Qin, and finally on May 12, 2022, Zhu Qin was sentenced to 8 years and 6 months in prison.
In this case, Zhang Hua's parents applied for legal aid, and the Guangzhou Panyu District Legal Aid Office assigned lawyer Huang Kaihuan of Guangdong Dinghai Needle Law Firm to take charge of the case. Lawyer Huang not only won justice for Zhang Hua in court, but also helped her access various social resources, such as neighborhood committees and women's federations, to ensure that her psychology and life were properly cared for. Zhang Hua's mental state has been taken into account, the neighborhood committee has launched a subsistence allowance review process, and the women's federation has sent social workers and psychologists to provide door-to-door services.
The court ruled that justice had arrived
After the criminal trial, Zhu Qin's willingness to pay compensation dropped sharply. However, with the help of lawyer Huang, Zhang Hua's parents insisted on defending their rights, and finally in July 2023, they filed a civil lawsuit with the court, demanding compensation from Zhu Qin for medical expenses, nutrition expenses, mental damages, etc. After some legal procedures, the court ruled that Zhu Qin must pay Zhang Hua a lump sum of 230,000 yuan as compensation.
This lawsuit is not only a punishment for Zhu Qin, but also a kind of redemption for Zhang Hua. Through legal means, she received material compensation and spiritual comfort. With the help of society and the protection of the law, Zhang Hua began to gradually return to normal life, and her study and psychological state have improved significantly.
It all seems like an end, but for Zhang Hua, it is just the beginning of a new life. During this long recovery period, she needs more love and support. The attention and help of all sectors of society are indispensable, which also reflects the attitude and temperature of a society towards the weak. Zhang Hua's case, although extreme, is a shocking wake-up call, reminding us to be more vigilant and protective of our children in our daily lives.
epilogue
In this story, we witness the power of law and the realization of social justice. As the old saying goes, "the net of heaven is magnificent, and negligence is not leaked", and no crime can escape the punishment of the law in the end. This case is not only a punishment for the criminal, but also a kind of redemption for the victim. It tells us that no matter how dark the hour, justice and light will always come.
In addition, this incident also reflects the importance that society attaches to the protection of minors. Through such cases, the public's legal awareness has been improved, and parents' awareness of caring and protecting their children has also become stronger. It has stimulated deep thinking in society about how to better protect minors in the future.
In the end, this is not only a victory for a legal case, but also a victory for social justice and humanity. Every child like Zhang Hua should grow up in a safe and loving environment. Let's work together to create a safer and more just society, so that every child in the future can have a bright tomorrow. This is the responsibility and mission of each of us, and it is also our common expectation and pursuit.
