The law of the country is strict and cannot be changed at will, but there are always exceptions to everything, for example, Li Hongtao, who is known as a genius boy, went astray and challenged the bottom line of the law many times, and several times in prison did not make him repent, but intensified.
was finally sentenced to death by the court, but when everyone thought that Li Hongtao was dead, the day before the execution, the provincial high court suddenly issued a notice to suspend the execution, and then Li Hongtao not only did not carry out the execution, but also successfully released from prison in 2009 and started a new life.
What did Li Hongtao do to make the law "give in" to him? What are the untold stories behind this?
One: A genius boy who went astray
The first half of Li Hongtao's life can be described as smooth sailing, he has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child, he is a typical "other people's child", and was successfully admitted to Zhejiang University.
In college, Li Hongtao did not relax, studied harder, and at the same time he also met his own love and fell in love with his classmates. After graduating from university, he and his girlfriend went to Kunming, thousands of miles away, to settle down and live a decent life.
Perhaps it was Li Hongtao who was bored with the comfortable life for too long, and slowly he gradually lost interest in life, and by chance he met a woman and soon hooked up with her.
This extramarital affair made Li Hongtao feel both exciting and frightened, he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, fantasizing about being able to hide it from his wife for the rest of his life. However, paper can't contain the fire after all, and when his wife learns that he has betrayed him, he is heartbroken, and he feels very self-reproachful in the face of his wife's disappointed eyes, and he is becoming more and more depressed.
At this time, a friend invited him to start a business together, and due to the lack of start-up capital, Li Hongtao came up with a "good idea" and forged a seal to defraud the remittance. Due to the limitations of technical conditions, Li Hongtao's first fraud was successful, and he seemed to get a long-lost pleasure from the fraud, so he soon started the second fraud, but this time he was not so lucky and was caught by the police.
Normal people would feel remorse and fear when they were caught by the police, but Li Hongtao did not have these emotions at all, he felt very excited, and on the way to the police escorted him, he was planning in his mind how to escape from the police.
Later, he seized the opportunity to sneak out, and when the police reacted, Li Hongtao had already disappeared, and because the surveillance was not yet widespread at that time, the police could not judge where Li Hongtao had gone for a while.
In fact, after Li Hongtao escaped, he first went back to his home, prepared some necessities on the way to escape, and then took the train all the way north to start his escape.
Two: Escaped from prison multiple times and was sentenced to death
After Li Hongtao got off the train, he felt that he was not very safe on the train, and if he was recognized, there was no chance to escape, so he decided to steal a car. Putting aside Li Hongtao's character, his IQ is indeed very high, and in the absence of tools, he stole a car by making his own car keys.
It's a pity that Li Hongtao's driving skills are not very good, on a stormy night he even drove the car to the ditch, fortunately the people and the car have nothing to do, after a period of local cultivation, he continued to drive the car aimlessly to escape.
On the way, he saw a police car parked on the side of the road, and on a whim, he stole the police car again, and swaggered back to Kunming. Not long after returning to Kunming, Li Hongtao was arrested by the police again.
Faced with the police's questioning, Li Hongtao happily confessed the facts of his escape from prison and theft. Not only that, but while he was in custody, he confidently said to the officer, "I hope you will deal with me as soon as possible, otherwise I will run away." ”
In the face of such an arrogant criminal, the police didn't know what to say for a while, and they didn't pay attention to his words, but looked at him contemptuously. The reaction of the police stimulated Li Hongtao, perhaps to prove his ability, he actually escaped with the other two criminals, spent several days digging through the prison wall, and then swaggered out.
In the face of such an arrogant criminal, the police began to search for Li Hongtao throughout the city, but Li Hongtao had already stolen a car and drove to Guangxi, and after wandering aimlessly for almost a month, Li Hongtao was arrested by the public security organs again.
In this scene, the police strictly guarded Li Hongtao and did not give him any chance to escape, and slowly Li Hongtao seemed to accept his fate. Because of the heinous circumstances of the crime, and because he escaped from prison several times and was punished for several crimes, Li Hongtao was sentenced to death.
Three: Major invention, commutation of sentence and release
Li Hongtao studied electronics as an undergraduate, and he was not surprised when he was sentenced to death, but he had an obsession to realize the idea of "brushless motors" in his lifetime, and he took the trouble to apply to the prison to allow him to conduct experiments.
Perhaps felt by his persistence, the relevant departments finally agreed to his request, but invention is not a simple matter, and he received a death sentence in the process of experimentation, and the death sentence will be carried out in a week.
It can be said that Li Hongtao is racing against time with death, and encountered many problems in the process of experiments, and he once again asked the prison to invite several electronic experts to help answer doubts.
At the suggestion of the experts, Li Hongtao overcame one difficulty after another, and in the remaining days, he forgot to sleep and eat, and finally successfully carried out the experiment the day before the execution.
The prison authorities immediately wrote a report and submitted it to the higher authorities, and after deliberation by the provincial high court, it agreed to suspend the execution of the death sentence. At this time, Li Hongtao seemed to see the hope of life, and at the same time, he also found the true meaning of his life, and in order to be able to reduce the punishment, he began to continue to refine the previous experiment.
Perhaps unwilling to see the life of a misguided genius come to an end, the prison has been providing Li Hongtao with the instruments and materials needed for various experiments. Li Hongtao is also very competitive, and the brushless motor he invented successfully won the gold medal, making great contributions to the country and meeting the requirements for commutation.
In this way, Li Hongtao was commuted from death to fixed-term imprisonment, and was released after 16 years and started a new life. It is worth mentioning that he also helped the prison improve the management system and prevent prisoners from escaping more effectively.
