Guo Yanhua, the name is like a blooming flower, however, her life is full of thorns. Born in 1975, she was supposed to be like a flower blooming on the land of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, but fate allowed her to spend time in a women's prison in Shanxi.
Although her body was thin, her crime was heavy, and she was sentenced to death in 2011 for intentional homicide, with a two-year reprieve. What's the story behind her?And why did she embark on this path?
In 1975, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia ushered in a new life named Guo Yanhua. Her childhood was like a wildflower forgotten in the corner, never able to escape the shadow under the fence. Because her father left her shortly after she was born, as if he had evaporated from the world.
Perhaps because it was difficult to remarry with a daughter, her mother took on the burden of raising her alone during those long years. It wasn't until a few years later, after being introduced by others, that Guo Yanhua followed her mother into a new family, and since then, her mother has also gotten rid of the hard life of raising children alone.
Guo Yanhua's fate has since changed, and her mother's remarriage and new brother have made her feel more lonely in this family than ever before. Despite her young age, she is eager to prove her worth through her own efforts rather than relying on the protection of her family.
When she was 16 years old, a seemingly beautiful job opportunity shone into her life like the spring sun, and she was told that there was a well-paying job waiting for her in the field. Guo Yanhua didn't know anything about this strange world, she followed that person like this, but she didn't expect that what was waiting for her was a bad **.
In that strange land, Guo Yanhua was pushed by fate to a remote factory area, forced to have a relationship with a strange man, and was bullied and humiliated in that place. Her heart was full of unwillingness, and she couldn't imagine that her future would be spent in such darkness.
So, she seized every opportunity she might have to seek outside help and escape. Finally, after more than a long month, Guo Yanhua seemed to see the dawn of hope - a team of patrolling security guards in the distance was walking here.
When she approached, Guo Yanhua was pleasantly surprised to find that they were really patrolling security guards. So, she didn't hesitate to shout for help, and sure enough, it caught the attention of the patrolling security guards.
After more than a long month, Guo Yanhua finally broke free from that hellish pain. She returned to her hometown with great anticipation, eager to regain the life she once knew. Fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Although the physical torture has dissipated, when she sets foot in the land that grew up with her, she will face another test that will destroy her will. So, in front of Guo Yanhua, who has regained her freedom, what kind of scene will be staged?
In 1991, Guo Yanhua's fate was swallowed up by darkness, and she suffered endless torture in the years after she was abducted. In the town where she once lived, what happened to her has become a peachy story that has been sung through the ages.
The villagers joined in the spread of this story, adding fuel and vinegar to the image of Guo Yanhua. What makes Guo Yanhua most heartbroken is that she has changed from a pure and immaculate girl to a depraved woman in this story.
Those vicious words pierced her heart like a sharp blade: "She is no longer the innocent girl", "The road to marriage in the future will be full of thorns", "She is no longer the respectable woman".
Since being rescued, the once warm hometown has become cold and unfamiliar, and what makes her even more painful is that these evil words have spread to the school like a plague. Guo Yanhua once wanted to return to school and pick up books again, but the strange eyes of the people around her and the whispers behind her made her feel depressed.
Under the pressure of her fellow villagers, neighbors, and peers, she finally chose a difficult path: dropping out of school and giving up her studies.
At the low point of life, Guo Yanhua's heart was touched by a letter from Tian Linguo. Tian Linguo, the heroic security guard who had saved her in the dark night, was full of concern and sympathy for her between the lines. He also attached some money, although it was not much, but it was like a warm current pouring into Guo Yanhua's heart. She decided to respond to him with a letter, and the two hearts crept closer in the world of letters.
Tian Linguo's kindness and understanding are like a spring breeze blowing through a cold heart lake, making her feel the warmth of human nature. In addition to deep gratitude and gratitude, her heart also quietly gave birth to feelings for him.
Guo Yanhua didn't know that what she thought was a romantic love letter was actually a web carefully woven by Tian Linguo, waiting for her to voluntarily invest. So, what is Tian Linguo's secret plan?
The correspondence between Guo Yanhua and Tian Linguo is like two stars meeting in the night sky, and it has been shining for nearly two years. In these long days, Guo Yanhua's heart was captured by this man's kindness and talent, and her feelings for him were like a trickle, gathering into an affectionate lake.
Finally, Tian Linguo decided to put away his fishing nets and show Guo Yanhua his sincerity. He sent her a letter, revealing that he was about to embark on a journey back to his hometown to start a business, and eagerly invited her to accompany him back to the land of Shanxi, which was full of memories.
In order to make Guo Yanhua feel his sincerity, Tian Linguo also promised to find an ideal job for her in Shanxi, so that her life would be picturesque and better than the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
The moment Guo Yanhua caught a glimpse of the proposal, the strings in her heart had been gently plucked. That man, he is not only her savior, but also the person who gave her warmth in the most vulnerable moments of her heart.
The shadow of the past and Tian Linguo's subtlety made her feel confused about the relationship between the two. So, she decided to bring this doubt to her mother and seek answers. After learning about Tian Linguo's deeds, her mother spoke highly of him and thought that he was a trustworthy person, so she agreed with her daughter's decision.
In 1994, the sun shone on the land of Pingyao, Shanxi, and Guo Yanhua met Tian Linguo again after being rescued. She follows him to this strange land, only to find herself in a very different world from the one described in Tian Linguo's letter.
In those poetic letters, Tian Linguo portrayed his hometown as picturesque and prosperous. However, when Guo Yanhua actually came here, she found that it was just a remote village, and its economic situation was far less affluent than Tian Linguo said.
Disappointment welled up in her heart, and Guo Yanhua couldn't help but feel a faint uneasiness in her heart. She was full of worries about the future, as if an ominous premonition was haunting her.
In this strange place, Guo Yanhua felt helpless and confused. She didn't dare to act rashly, and she didn't know how to escape from this place. She asked herself over and over again: Will this benefactor who once saved herself really hurt herself?
However, the arrangement of fate is contrary to Guo Yanhua's wishes. As soon as she stepped into the land of Pingyao, she was closely monitored, and even deprived of the language to communicate with others. Only on the third day of coming to Pingyao, Shanxi, she was forced to enter the palace of marriage with Tian Linguo and became his de facto wife.
Guo Yanhua finally understood that all this was Tian Linguo's well-thought-out plan, and he used an emotional letter to lure her to her hometown to get married. In fact, Tian Linguo did not return to his hometown to start a business, but because he was fired and lost his job, he was forced to return to Shanxi to find a new life.
Tian Linguo decided to bring Guo Yanhua back to his hometown as a gift to his family. This decision made Guo Yanhua feel shocked and angry, she felt that her sincerity had been let down, and she hated Tian Linguo for forcing her by fraudulent means.
Guo Yanhua didn't realize that her dark life had just begun. Their marriage lacks the foundation of affection, and it is not a happy relationship, and Guo Yanhua's future is destined to be full of pain. Tian Linguo was violent to Guo Yanhua many times because of her taciturn and not good at sweet words.
Guo Yanhua thinks about how to escape this nightmare every day, but when she finds out that she is pregnant, she begins to doubt her escape plan. How many people will criticize a woman with a big belly when she returns to her hometown?
In the second year of the spring flowers, the crystallization of the love between Guo Yanhua and Tian Linguo - their little princess came to the world. The joy of becoming a first-time mother did not leave a trace in Guo Yanhua's heart, because she was already deep in endless darkness.
Since that cute little life came to her arms, Guo Yanhua not only has to endure the violent destruction of her husband like a storm, but also has to fight for the future of her children. Those responsibilities that should have been shouldered by Tian Linguo were like heavy shackles on her shoulders. Tian Linguo's tyranny, gambling and laziness made Guo Yanhua's life more and more difficult.
Therefore, the burden of the family can only be shouldered by Guo Yanhua alone. In the eyes of outsiders, Guo Yanhua seems to have been forced to accept all this for the sake of her children. In this family full of lies and deceit, she quietly filial piety to her in-laws, serving her husband, and caring for her children.
Guo Yanhua's heart began to shake under the tyranny of Tian Linguo. She had tried to use her mother's persuasion to calm the pain in her heart, but Tian Linguo's gambling addiction and violence were like a sharp sword, piercing her heart again and again. Once, she found Tian Linguo in the casino, hoping to bring him home, but Tian Linguo was like a raging beast, knocking her down fiercely. This experience made Guo Yanhua understand that she had to leave the side of this demon.
On that day, Guo Yanhua was like a flower devastated by a storm, and suffered a merciless blow from her husband Tian Linguo. He not only trampled on her dignity, but also inflicted physical harm on her, leaving her drenched in blood.
Fate did not completely abandon her, and Tian Linguo's brother and several enthusiastic neighbors rushed her to the hospital in time. It took a long day and a night for her to break free from the clutches of death.
Tian Linguo's violence did not stop because of this, and his anger even burned to his relatives. Therefore, Guo Yanhua has only one thought in her heart: to escape from Tian Linguo and stay away from this world full of violence. So, what's next for her?
Fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and in 2003, Guo Yanhua's husband Tian Linguo was imprisoned for robbery, which was undoubtedly a relief for her. She decisively drew a line with Tian Linguo and started a new chapter of her life with a pair of children.
In the bustling city of Beijing, Guo Yanhua relies on her diligence and wisdom to make the fruit business thriving. Happy times are always short-lived. One day in 2009, Guo Yanhua received an anxious ** from her mother and learned that her son was missing. After some twists and turns, she finally learned that it was Tian Linguo who brought the child back to Shanxi after being released from prison.
Tian Linguo didn't miss the child, nor did he want the child to stay by his side, he just regarded the child as a tool to manipulate Guo Yanhua. He never thought of making up for his debt to his ex-wife and two children, and his mind was all about how to find an endless source of wealth, that is, Guo Yanhua.
His unscrupulousness stems from his knowledge of Guo Yanhua's family, he knows that Guo Yanhua's stepfather has died, and the only male in the family is Guo Yanhua's younger brother, but he died in 2006. Therefore, Tian Linguo thought that he had mastered the power of life and death of his ex-wife's family and could be at his mercy, so he threatened the lives of Guo Yanhua's mother and two children, forced Guo Yanhua to remarry him, and promised that he would be responsible for her future life.
Guo Yanhua's ex-husband Tian Linguo was haunted like a ghost, which made her feel extremely painful. She was worried that he would hurt his mother, son and daughter in Inner Mongolia, so she initially asked him to do whatever he wanted, including giving him money.
Guo Yanhua is a woman who sells fruits for a living, and her life is not rich enough to satisfy Tian Linguo's growing desires, let alone his request for remarriage. In this case, Guo Yanhua came up with a way to get out.
In the bustling market of Beijing, Guo Yanhua met Huo Guigui from Pingyao, Shanxi, and the two became acquainted because of the fate of being strangers. On an intoxicating night, Guo Yanhua confided her pain to Huo Guigui: her ex-husband's relentless threats, the lives of her relatives were used as bargaining chips, and her remarriage and money were ruthlessly demanded.
Huo Guigui looked at the scars on her body, and his heart was full of anger and sympathy. They shared each other that night, and Guo Yanhua made her request to Huo Guigui: to help her end the life of her ex-husband Tian Linguo.
Under Guo Yanhua's pleading, perhaps sympathy for her suffering, perhaps empathy for the pain, or love for her, Huo Guigui decided to help her complete that terrible revenge plan.
Tian Linguo threatened Guo Yanhua again, and Guo Yanhua cleverly used ** to lure Tian Linguo to Beijing, telling him that she was willing to remarry and would withdraw the money the next day. Tian Linguo believed it and got drunk that night in Beijing, and Huo Guigui took the opportunity to strangle him to death.
Guo Yanhua held him down and stabbed him in the back with a knife. Tian Linguo soon stopped moving. They also dismembered and dumped bodies. A few days later, their crimes were discovered and arrested. In 2011, a court sentenced Guo Yanhua to death with a two-year reprieve for intentional homicide. Co-defendant Huo Guigui was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.
