February**Dynamic Incentive Plan Recently, there has been a wave of discussion on social media, all thanks to a movie "Article 20". Through three shocking storylines, the film provokes the audience to think deeply about legitimate defense, legal ethics, and human choices. In this wave of speculation, the views of Luo Xiang, a professor at the School of Criminal Justice at China University of Political Science and Law, have attracted widespread attention.
The suffering of Hao Xiuping and his wife
In the movie, the experience of Wang Yongqiang and Hao Xiuping is heart-wrenching. The couple fell into the quagmire of usury for their daughter's ** fee, but they were ruthlessly oppressed by the village tyrant. Hao Xiuping, who is deaf and mute, and her daughter and her husband's daughter are also troubled by their congenital hearing impairment. In order to pay a huge amount of ** fees, they had no choice but to choose usury, but they fell into a dark life.
In order to force the repayment of debts, the village tyrant creditors used all kinds of despicable means, and even used inhumane means such as "kidnapping daughters" to force the couple to repay their debts. In one of the most brutal incidents, Wang Yongqiang was chained to a tree, while Hao Xiuping faced an indescribable **. The couple's dignity was trampled on, and they were in despair.
The most outrageous scene was when the creditor threatened to give the couple a taste of this in the future, and even offered to kill the entire family. In this desperate situation, Wang Yongqiang picked up the scissors at hand, rushed to the village tyrant, and stabbed him to death. However, because the act took place after the fact, he was charged with intentional wounding causing death.
Luo Xiang's deep thinking
After watching the movie, Professor Luo Xiang recorded an affectionate **. He asked a rather in-depth question: "If it were you, would you stab or not?" How many stabs? This question goes to the heart of justifiable defence. He believes that we should not look rationally from the perspective of God, but put ourselves in the situation of the person concerned and start from the standpoint of the defender.
Luo Xiang contrasted this issue with a historical case called the "dung pit case." In the 80s, a female cadre faced the gangster**, but skillfully used the surrounding environment to push the gangster into the manure pit and cause his death. This case has caused a social sensation and has been controversial. Luo Xiang believes that legitimate defense is not simply black and white, but should be judged according to specific circumstances.
In the movie, the encounter of Hao Xiuping and his wife reminded Luo Xiang of the "dung pit case". He made a sharp point that he would "step on all fours and throw a brick at a man's head" and stressed the importance of eliminating danger. He firmly believes that decisive action is a manifestation of legitimate defence when dignity is trampled on and lives are threatened.
The "manure pit case" and the complexity of justifiable defense
Looking back at the "dung pit case" in the 80s, the ingenious counterattack of female cadres has become the focus of heated discussions in society. Halfway up the mountain, where no one was helping, she showed admirable coping skills. Guide the gangster to the surface of the ice and push him into the dung pit when he loses sight, eventually killing him. However, such actions remain controversial both legally and ethically.
This case has provoked deep reflection on the boundaries of legitimate defense. Are the actions of female cadres merely protecting themselves from abuse, or are they retaliating? This makes us think again, what is the boundary of legitimate defense, and when is it reasonable to counterattack?
Luo Xiang believes that the reason why female cadres take decisive action is that while she is eliminating danger and protecting herself from further abuse, she is also creating conditions for herself not to be violated. In this case, the complexity of justifiable defense lies in the fact that the defender must make decisions at short notice in order to protect his own safety.
Encourage legitimate self-defense and uphold fairness and justice
The promulgation of Article 20 of the Criminal Law aims to protect the legitimate rights and interests of legitimate defenders, and at the same time exerts certain pressure and restraint on unlawful offenders. The existence of this clause encourages people to take the necessary defensive actions to protect themselves and others within the scope of their lawfulness.
In the movie "Article 20", the boundaries of justifiable defense are drawn more clearly. It is not only a movie, but also a feast of social thinking. These stories touch the deepest sensitive nerves in our hearts and make us re-examine the bottom line of justice and ethics.
Write at the end
The appearance of the movie "Article 20" is not only a challenge to the law, but also a test of human nature. It calls on us to face injustice and lawlessness and to fight for justice. As Luo Xiang said: "The significance of the law is to make it more expensive for bad people to make mistakes, not to make good people more expensive." ”
In this era of challenges and opportunities, let us work together to build a fairer and more just society.
