On the morning of January 31, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court executed Wu Xieyu's execution. Wu Xie Yu is an outstanding young man who graduated from Peking University, but he was sentenced to death for killing his mother in 2015. This case has aroused widespread attention and discussion in the society, and has also triggered people's thinking about education, psychology, law and other aspects. So, what happened on Wu Xieyu's last day?
Wu Xieyu's last dayAccording to the notice of the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court, the Supreme People's Court recently made a ruling on the review of Wu Xieyu's death sentence and approved Wu Xieyu's death sentence. During the review period, the Supreme People's Court interrogated Wu Xie Yu in accordance with the law, listened to the opinions of his defense lawyer, and fully protected his procedural rights. The Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court served Wu Xie Yu with the Supreme People's Court's criminal ruling. Before the execution, the court informed Wu that he could apply to meet with his relatives, but Wu did not apply. Zheng Xiaojing, Wu Xieyu's death penalty review defense lawyer, said that she had contacted the Fuzhou No. 1 Detention Center to arrange a meeting with Wu Xieyu, but the detention center police replied that Wu Xie Yu had been taken away by the court for execution at 8 a.m. this morning and was not used. Zheng Xiaojing submitted a legal opinion to the Supreme People's Court not approving Wu Xieyu's death sentence, holding that Wu Xie Yu was mentally ill at the time of committing the crime, could not fully recognize and control his own behavior, and did not have full capacity for criminal responsibility, and should be given a lighter or commuted punishment. Zheng Xiaojing also revealed that she met Wu Xie Yu on November 11, 2023, and Wu Xie Yu's mental condition in the detention center is relatively stable, and he has a strong desire to survive, hoping to live to atone for his crimes.

The revelation of this case: The case of Wu Xie Yu's murder of his mother is an extremely rare and complicated case, which involves educational, psychological, legal and other issues, and also raises many warnings and reflections for us. First of all, this case shows us the importance and difficulty of education. Wu Xie Yu is a talented and intelligent child, excellent in learning, he has been a good student since he was a child, he was admitted to Peking University, and is the object of envy and admiration of many people. However, his family is an unfortunate family, his father suffered from mental illness and died early, his mother Xie Moumou is also an introverted, withdrawn, clean, sentimental person, she is strict, harsh, and depressed about Wu Xie Yu's education methods, she does not let Wu Xie Yu contact with the outside world, does not let him have his own friends and interests, does not let him have his own ideas and choices, she only asks him to study, study, and learn again. This kind of education method made Wu Xie Yu lack normal emotional needs such as family, friendship, and love since he was a child, making him lonely, inferior, depressed, and pessimistic, and making him have thoughts of suicide and killing his mother. This case shows us that education is not only to cultivate children's intelligence and ability, but also to cultivate children's personality and emotions, education is not only to instill knowledge and skills in children, but also to provide care and support to children, education is not only to require children to obey and obey, but also to respect and understand children. How we should give children a healthy, happy and confident growth environment, how to give children an equal, open and inclusive educational concept, and how to give children a diverse, rich and interesting educational content are all questions that we need to think about and explore.
Secondly, this case shows us the importance and difficulty of psychology. Wu Xieyu's case, in a sense, is also a case of mental illness. Wu Xieyu's father and mother both have a family history of mental illness, Wu Xie Yu also has mental abnormalities, he has tried suicide several times, he suffers from severe depression, he had a psychotic episode at the time of the crime, he cannot fully recognize and control his behavior. This case shows us that mental illness is a serious illness that can affect not only a person's physical and mental health, but also a person's behavior and judgment, and even lead to some extreme and tragic outcomes. How should we prevent and improve mental illness, how to pay attention to and help people with psychological difficulties, how to improve psychological quality and cope with pressure, how to establish and maintain a good psychological state, these are all issues that we need to pay attention to and learn.
