In the past few days, there is a piece of news that makes Jian Jun look sad and angry, at about 6 p.m. on July 18, the three siblings of a family in Chengzhi Town, Cenxi City, Guangxi Province: 8-year-old Huang Dazhen, 7-year-old Huang Huochang, and 4-year-old Huang Damei suddenly disappeared. At about 2 p.m. on July 20, more than 40 hours after their disappearance, the three siblings were found in an abandoned well about 400 to 500 meters away from their home, and unfortunately, they were all killed. The suspect is Shen Shichang, a 13-year-old boy from Shiqiao Village, Chengzhi Town, Cen Xi City, who is said to have killed them because they were seen by three siblings for stealing.
I don't know what everyone thinks about juvenile delinquency, but Jianjun found that sometimes, these children are more brutal and cruel than adults, more ferocious and terrible, I can forgive them for their youth and ignorance, I can forgive them for being mentally incomplete, but I can't forgive them for being inhuman.
The BMW Hill Double Corpses case, which occurred in 1985, was also an inhuman homicide in which five people were convicted, two of whom were minors.
On 20 April 1985, a British couple attending the Hong Kong Island School of British Children: Kenneth McBride and Nicola Myers disappeared after travelling to Saixi Lake Park in North Point. The next day, two bodies were found near the BMW Hill Reservoir in North Point, which was still a wasteland at the time, and the death was terrifying.

After the experience of the corpse, it was confirmed that the two were beaten to death with sticks and that the female deceased had been raped. The male deceased, Kenneth, wearing blue jeans, his shirt was lifted, his hands were tied behind his back, and there were more than a hundred wounds all over his body; the female deceased, Nigora, had the buttons of a beige shirt on her upper body unbuttoned, almost naked, her left eyeball fell out, her jaw was broken, and there were more than five hundred injuries all over her body, her expression was painful, and it was estimated that she died after several hours of dying and struggling.
The police attached great importance to the case, dispatched more than 600 people to search the mountain, and then dispatched helicopters to search at a high altitude, and found Nigura's bottom skirt, bracelets, Chinese embroidered shoes, London life photos, chest buttons, and two truncated wooden sticks, one of which was stained with blood, and the other was still wrapped around Nigura's hair. To gather clues, the police set up a hotline and blocked the nearby Chung Hsing Building to interview residents with questionnaires.
The police remained clueless for more than six months after the crime, and it is said that a president of the company where Kenneth's father worked at the time had anonymously hung half a million yuan to help the police solve the case. In the end, the police received a report from the informant, who overheard the main criminal in the case, Peng Xinyi, bragging to a friend that he had killed a "ghost boy", and pointed out that the sneakers on his feet belonged to the "ghost boy", so the informant followed Peng Xinyi home and reported to the police.
More than 100 agents immediately followed up the investigation, and based on the semen in the female deceased's body, the underwear left behind at the scene of the murder and other evidence, on November 28, 1985, the police arrested the three adult defendants involved in the case, Peng Xinyi, Tan Shihuan and Zhao Weiwen, as well as the minor accomplices Yin Sanlong and Zhang Youheng, and the test results confirmed that the No. 9 sneakers worn by Peng Xinyi were indeed owned by Kenneth.
After Yin Sanlong was arrested, he confessed that on the day of the crime, the suspects Peng Xinyi, Tan Shihuan, Zhang Youheng, Yin Sanlong, and Zhao Weiwen passed through BMW Mountain and found Kenneth and Nigura reviewing. Peng picked up a wooden stick and said to the other four, "Better to play with them in the past!" They snatched Kenneth's gold watch, and Peng Xinyi's request for sex with Nigura was rejected, so he beat her with a stick, pulled her down the hill and raped her, and afterwards asked the others "if they wanted it." He then used his barbecue fork to scare the other four, asking them to kill them to avoid trouble.
As a result, the five men put a wooden stick on Kenneth's neck, then vigorously stamped on the "rocking board", removed the bandage on Kenneth's shoulder and strangled his neck with Nigura's dress, Kenneth struggled in pain, and finally died of exhaustion. They then put sticks and soda bottles into Nigura's pussy until she passed out, and then beat her with sticks, causing Nicholas to die.
The police charged all five of the arrested murderers with two counts of murder. Among them, only Yin Sanlong confessed to the murder and appeared in court to testify against four of his co-conspirators. As a result, the jury convicted each individual in 1987 and sentenced them to death. By 1992, the Governor and The Executive Council of Hong Kong had routinely pardoned them to death sentences and commuted them to life imprisonment. Yin Sanlong and Zhang Youheng were sentenced to the sentence of 'waiting for the Empress to fall' because they were minors.
On the eve of Hong Kong's transfer of sovereignty in 1997, Yin Sanlong and others still did not know the length of their sentences, and their families demonstrated at the former Governor's Office of Hong Kong, demanding that the Hong Kong government set the actual sentences for the prisoners of the juveniles. After the transfer of sovereignty, the relevant legal provisions became invalid, and the future of the juvenile prisoners was uncertain.
In 1998, the victim's family: Kenneth's father wrote to the then Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Tung Chee-hwa, interceding on behalf of Yin Sanlong, and finally the Chief Executive determined that his imprisonment would be 27 years.
Zhang Youheng, another minor at the time of the crime, has been convicted of a 35-year prison term. On 6 April 2006, the Court of Appeal issued a judgment stating that the unusual and prolonged mistreatment of the two deceased by the multiple defendants involved in the case resulted in the deprivation of the lives of two innocents, which was considered to be an increase in sentences, so the sentence was not considered to be excessive and the appeal was rejected.
In September 2004, after deducting his leave, 35-year-old Yin Sanlong was released from prison to reunite with his family and was reborn as a law firm under the arrangements of the Correctional Services Department. Yin Sanlong said that in 1998, he saw a report in prison that the victim's parents said they had forgiven and forgiven him, which caused him a great shock and made him understand the importance of forgiveness and forgiveness.

Films based on the case include "The Strange Case of BMW Hill" and "Waiting for Tung Chee-hwa to Fall".
"Bmw Mountain Strange Case" (1992) Director: Zheng Jianping Starring: Liu Shaojun Lin Jinggang Li Lili
The director seems to want to tell us that a person who lacks family warmth, childhood happiness, and social care is easy to go down the road of crime, but it may not be enough, in my opinion, it is a boring tertiary film, and it is not recommended to watch. It also has another name called "Hong Kong Rape and Murder Case".
"Waiting for Tung Chee-hwa to Fall" (2001) Director: Qiu Litao Starring: Deng Shurong, Ai Jing, Li Shangwen
This is a bold and realistic film, but also a film that can be written in a big book.
The focus of the film is not on restoring the case, but on the return of Tung Chee-hwa as chief executive after the return of 97, "waiting for the Queen of England to fall" has become "waiting for Tung Chee-hwa to fall", which is the legacy of the sentence after the return, telling a series of related stories, hoping to arouse the attention of the society to juvenile offenders.
Director Qiu Litao, everyone should be familiar with it, "Eight Immortals Hotel Human Meat Char Siu Bao" is his shooting, the same type of "Ebola Virus", these two films have been praised as classics by European and American film critics, and he can always look at the problem from different angles, he made in 2007 "Ten Days of Sex Workers", Jianjun is very fond of, don't misunderstand, this is not a tertiary film, this is just a feature film that shows the social reality of "sex workers".
I think anyone who has watched "Ten Days of Sex Workers" will be impressed by Happy's dialogue: Mom, as soon as I debuted, I wanted to be a healthy and happy Happy chicken, for seven years, I never gambled, did not raise a small white face, I did not do business without a condom, I fucking did not smoke, did not drink, did not take drugs, I fucking never made a mood of depression, who made chickens so strong-willed as I was?
Back to the movie "Waiting for Tung Chee-hwa to fall", the subject matter of this movie is very sensitive, not only about juvenile offenders, but also involved some marches, demonstrations, strikes, and even the return of Hong Kong and other events, Qiu Litao knew before shooting that this is an unpleasant movie, and also knows that the box office of this movie is definitely not high, it is difficult to find people to invest, but he still insists on doing it, why? He gives the answer in the film:
In the end, finally found an investor, this investor force gave him three million, everyone must not think of who this investor is, hehe, Jianjun did not expect that this investor is Xiang Huaqiang.
The screenwriter of the film is Yang Yishan, because the film is based on the realistic novel of the same name she wrote, the film is narrated in two lines of male and female protagonists, the male protagonist is based on Zhang Youheng, a juvenile offender in the BMW Mountain Double Corpse Case, played by Li Shangwen, unknown and unfamiliar, the heroine is a social worker, played by Ai Jing, who used to be a mainland singer, an older friend, must have heard her sing "My 1997", the director chose her to play this role, it seems to have a deep meaning.
Ai Jing
What I care about most in the film is the role of the parliamentarian's wife, she does not appear much, but everywhere she appears to be extra-wise, Wen Wanxianhui, the actor is called Huang Yushi, checked to know, it turned out to be Huang Xia's daughter, born in a family of scholars, it is really different, it seems that reading more books is really useful, not only to increase insight, but also to change temperament.
Huang Yushi
For this movie, in fact, Jian Jun does not fully agree with the director's point of view, for example, he said that this is a film about the vulnerable groups in society, but I think that these juvenile prisoners cannot be regarded as vulnerable groups, but can only be regarded as a special group, for example, he said that he should talk about humanistic care, but as mentioned earlier, I can't let go of the matter of hurting nature and killing people for a long time, just as the victim's relatives said:
While I can disagree with the director, I vow to defend his right to speak to the death and appreciate his courage to speak.
As mentioned earlier, after 12 years, the victim's parents said that they had forgiven and forgiven the two juvenile offenders, and the father of the male deceased Kenneth also wrote to Tung Chee-hwa to intercede for them.
