ps: Today's three watches, two watches delivered

Lu Xun defended his own thoughts and actions, and the secretary general of the Presidential Office, Nguyen Trung Shu, reported to Song Xiaofei, saying: "Although Lu Xun is now calling on young people to live their own lives, his ideas are not conducive to the long-term rule of our Baath Party. 《”

Song Xiaofei sighed and said, "There is no eternal ruling party. If the interests of the ruling party are premised on sacrificing the interests of the people, then it does not matter. And no one believes in this thing of thinking, forced indoctrination, let Lu Xun go. In addition, the case of the shooting and killing of students by the military and police is now of great concern to the world, so it should be handed over to the special court led by Wu Tingfang for an open trial in accordance with the law as soon as possible, and this will also put an end to this student movement. ”

On that day, the sun shone on the sparse goose-yellow leaves of the ginkgo tree in front of the Beijing Intermediate People's Court. Reporters from more than 100 Chinese and foreign media waited outside the courthouse early. As soon as the courthouse opened, they swarmed in with all kinds of equipment such as long guns and short guns.

** Official Wu Tingfang rang the gavel and announced the opening of the trial. Prosecutors from the Beijing District Procuratorate began to read out the indictment, and Sheng Debiao, a soldier who was guarding the back door of the prime minister's office, stood in the dock and was charged with manslaughter.

In the courtroom, with the fierce debate between the prosecution and defense, the scene of Sheng Debiao shooting two young students seemed to appear in front of people's eyes again, which was real. That scene filled the people present with regret and grief.

The back door of the Prime Minister's Office is more than 4 meters high, with cement walls on both sides, and barbed wire circles on the top, which are closely guarded by guards from the Prime Minister's Office on both sides, and guarded by Beijing's military and police on the outer floor. It was a light rain in the sky that day. The earth was shrouded in a haze, and the cold wind blew on the face, making people shiver with cold. The fanatical students of the day had already broken through the blockade of the outer military police. Many youths began to seize the pistols of the Chancellery guards, and some climbed high back doors, ready to jump into the Chancellery.

At this time, the guard Sheng Debiao was on the watchtower not far from the back door, his eyes were like eagles, vigilantly staring at the back door and the nearby wall. Suddenly, he spotted two students sneaking up to the south wall. Then jumped into the Prime Minister's House. Seeing this scene, Sheng Xuanmin, the captain of the Prime Minister's Office, ordered the shooting, and Sheng Debiao raised the Tianlong II rifle in his hand without hesitation. Holding his breath, he aimed at the two men and hooked the trigger.

With two piercing gunshots of "bang-bang", only two screams were heard. Two young students in their 20s tried to run into the Prime Minister's Office after climbing over the wall. He was shot dead by the guard soldier Sheng Debiao. Afterwards, Sheng Debiao was also commended by captain Sheng Xuanmin and became a hero of the Prime Minister's Office Guard.

In the special court, Sheng Debiao's defense lawyer said in his defense that Sheng Debiao, as a guard soldier, was carrying out orders, and as a soldier, it was his duty to carry out orders. He had no choice. While on duty, he spotted two young men climbing over the wall into the Prime Minister's Office. In this case, he only had to shoot. If it is said that he is guilty, then the sin is not his, it should be the person who ordered the shooting.

After listening to the defense lawyer's impassioned defense, some reporters were whispering, and some reporters were slightly bowing their heads. People seem to have psychologically tacitly assumed that Sheng Debiao was innocent. Because he was a soldier, he was carrying out orders, and he had no choice. Sheng Debiao himself believes that he is not guilty.

At this time, Judge Wu Tingfang's face was grim, and he asked Sheng Debiao sharply: "At that time, did you see that the two young students who jumped into the Prime Minister's Office did not have lethal weapons in their hands?" ”

Sheng Debiao carefully recalled the scene of the day, and replied: "It was a chaotic scene that day, and some of the students had already begun to snatch the guards' guns......"

Wu Tingfang rang the gavel again and said, "Defendant, please answer my question, as far as you can see, are there any weapons of destruction in the hands of the students who jumped into the Prime Minister's Palace?" ”

Sheng Debiao recalled again and whispered, "No." ”

The prosecutor of the Beijing prosecutor then asked: "In other words, you shot two unarmed young students?" Could you please answer my question, yes or no? ”

As soon as Sheng Debiao heard this, although it was true, it seemed that something was wrong, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and explained: "Those two students have jumped into the Prime Minister's Palace, and I was ordered to shoot......"

The prosecutor of the Beijing prosecutor said: "You just have to answer, yes or no. ”

At this time, Sheng Debiao's defense lawyer stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I protest against the prosecution for misleading my client and ask him not to answer this question. ”

Wu Tingfang thought for a while and said, "The protest is invalid. Defendant, you have to answer this question based on the facts. ”

Sheng Debiao had no choice but to reply dejectedly: "Yes." ”

In the end, Wu Tingfang solemnly pronounced the verdict: "As a soldier, there is no doubt that he is guilty of not carrying out the orders of his superiors. Here, the judge would like to remind everyone that please do not overlook the fact that as a soldier, you may not be innocent. As a person of sound mind, when Sheng Debiao found that someone had entered the Prime Minister's Office, at this moment, if the student did not have a lethal weapon in his hand, he had the obligation to raise the muzzle of the gun by one centimeter when he raised the gun to shoot, which was his conscience duty that he should take the initiative to bear! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tingfang's heart seemed to be suppressing a kind of grief, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of crystal. He slowly turned his gaze to the auditorium and to the family of the defendant Sheng Debiao, his eighty-year-old mother, whose hair was as white as snow. and his wife and newborn daughter, whom he managed to get with great difficulty. At that moment, the atmosphere of the entire courtroom also seemed to freeze, and people seemed to hear only heavy breathing and each other's heartbeats. The entire courtroom was silent. Because everyone knows that Wu Tingfang is about to pronounce the sentence.

Wu Tingfang went on to say affectionately that in this world, in addition to the law, there is also a conscience. When the law and conscience conflict, conscience is the highest code of conduct, not the law. Respect for innocent lives is a universal principle. In other words, Sheng Debiao is a person first, and a soldier second, "Therefore, this judge pronounces: 'Sheng Debiao is guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison, which will be executed immediately. ”

Although Wu Tingfang was old at this time, his loud voice echoed in the solemn courtroom, and this voice was like a heavy bomb hitting people's hearts, which deeply shocked the hearts of the reporters and those who were watching. In the auditorium, many people's eyes glistened with tears, and some people hugged each other and wept. Many foreign journalists also have to admire Wu Tingfang's professional ability.

When the guard Sheng Debiao heard this, his eyes were suddenly full of tears, and his chest was rising and falling violently. He looked at his family with tears in his eyes. But he also saw the parents of two students who had been shot, also gray-haired and haggard-looking, grieving the loss of their children. His heart was tormented like a flame. In court, he said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I am no longer appealing. With that, he bowed his head in shame, unable to lift his head again.

In the end, the court sentenced Sheng Debiao to five years in prison for manslaughter, and convicted Sheng Xuanmin of premeditated murder, and his sentence was eight years in prison without parole.

The verdict of this case has caused a sensation in China and the world, triggering a great discussion in society about personal conscience, and some newspapers have the headline "One Centimeter of Conscience" -- raising the muzzle of the gun by one centimeter is one's own conscience, and it has become the highest code of conduct, which shines with the brilliance of human nature. No matter how the world changes, as long as it is raised by one centimeter, it will always be praised by the highest morality, which is a wake-up call for those accomplices under the totalitarian regime, and Wu Tingfang's name is once again popular in the world.

Because Sheng Xuanmin is Sheng Xuanhuai's cousin, and guarding the Prime Minister's Office is also Sheng Xuanmin's responsibility, Sheng Xuanhuai found Song Xiaofei to intercede, asking the president to pardon Sheng Xuanmin and Sheng Debiao according to the law: "The two of them are also conscientious in their duties, and they have become victims at this time." ”

Song Xiaofei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Governing the country according to law starts with this case." I respect Ng Dinh Fong's verdict. Don't interfere either. Tomorrow I will sign a presidential decree that no leading cadre is allowed to interfere with judicial decisions, not for any reason, otherwise, if leading cadres are allowed to interfere in the judiciary, then it is still the rule of man, and the rule of law in China is an empty word!
