On February 24, 2012, a post on a platform entitled "The second generation of Hefei officials is too domineering, and the little girl is disfigured if she doesn't fall in love" sparked heated discussions among netizens, and the scale of the arrest was unbelievable.
Thirteen years ago, Zhou Yan rejected Tao Rukun's pursuit, but she didn't expect this incident to lead her to the point of no return. Afterwards, the Zhou family and the Tao family were even more insistent, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
So what's really going on inside? How is Zhou Yan doing now?
Arson. In February 2012, a post about the disfigurement of a "second-generation official" angrily pouring gasoline on a girl after a failed marriage proposal became the focus of attention. Netizens have said that it is terrible that a minor should have such extreme thoughts and behaviors.
According to the post and related insiders, on the afternoon of September 17, 2011, Tao Rukun came to Zhou Yan's house with lighter oil. Before Zhou Yan could react, he poured gasoline on her and ignited it, and Zhou Yan instantly turned into a moving fireball. It seems that the entire building exudes an indescribable smell of burning.
Zhou Yan didn't expect Tao Rukun to be so vicious, pouring gasoline on her and setting fire to her. Looking at Zhou Yan, who was constantly screaming in front of him, Tao Rukun didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately ran away. Zhou Yan was lucky. The family members who were cooking in the kitchen saw the situation at the door and quickly put down what they were doing.
But at this time, Zhou Yan was already covered in flames, and the gasoline on his body was not extinguished until it was completely burned. In a hurry, Zhou Yan's family quickly covered Zhou Yan with a wet quilt. Only then did they barely slow down the fire on Zhou Yan's body, and they began to hurriedly call the emergency ** and call the police.
Zhou Yan, who was unconscious, was dragged to the hospital by ambulance. Along the way, she was unconscious, and the wounds on her body were so painful that she couldn't help but frown. When the doctors came to the hospital, they were frightened by Zhou Yan's injury, because the injury was too serious. Zhou Yan's left ear was directly burned, the ** on her neck and face was almost invisible, the flesh and blood were blurred, and her hands were even glued together.
After the doctor saw Zhou Yan, he quickly called for help and pushed Zhou Yan into the emergency room. After careful examination, Zhou Yan's injuries were far more serious than they appeared on the surface. He suffered burns to 28 per cent of his body, including his respiratory tract. After seven days and seven nights, the doctor rescued Zhou Yan from the line of death.
The post and the insider's description shocked netizens, and they didn't know how much hatred it was to do such a cruel thing. Just when everyone was talking, an answer that no one thought of appeared in front of everyone. The reason why Tao Rukun became like this is because his courtship failed.
For a while, netizens were silent. Unexpectedly, an emotional problem ruined two young people. Some people don't want to believe it and start digging deeper into the truth. So is this true, or is there something else going on?
Before the disfigurement, Zhou Yan was already a well-known beauty in school. She has a beautiful and delicate face. Although his parents are average-looking, Zhou Yan combines all their advantages. From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yan has always been the cutest person, and even many people are willing to be by her side.
As they grow older, everyone enters a moment of youth and ignorance, and Zhou Yan's beauty has become the object of everyone's pursuit. After entering junior high school, Zhou Yan has no shortage of suitors around her, and her desk is always crowded with suitors.
Facing the enthusiasm in the store, Zhou Yan was a little overwhelmed. She just wants to study hard. When I was a student, the way I expressed my feelings was quite subtle. Most people choose to send love letters or gifts. But Tao Rukun's behavior is completely different, and it can be said to be quite bold.
He didn't send a love letter to Zhou Yan, nor did he give a gift. Tao Rukun chose a more direct approach. Everyone has a love for beauty, and of course Tao Rukun is the same. Zhou Yan's beauty touched him very much. Moreover, Zhou Yan is a well-known beauty in the school, and his vanity drives him and Zhou Yan to get closer.
And Zhou Yan didn't expect that this would become a trouble for her.
Cause of the incident. Tao Rukun was born into a wealthy family. He grew up having everything he wanted, and there was nothing he couldn't get. Such a family environment raised him to be pampered, and his pursuit of Zhou Yan was also straightforward, bold, and even a little irresistible machismo.
When others were still giving gifts and love letters, Tao Rukun directly called Zhou Yan out and expressed his love. Although Zhou Yan was unwilling, he still couldn't resist the invisible pressure exerted by Tao Rukun. The reason why he dared to be so domineering in school had a lot to do with his family background.
Tao Rukun's family is not only wealthy, but also powerful. His father was a staff member of the Hefei Municipal Audit Bureau. Although his father's position Tao Wen is not high, his mother's position is very high, and she is the director of the Hefei Municipal Planning Bureau. Even if not as good as the people above, but more than enough than the people below. At school, the teacher was reluctant to discipline Tao Rukun, who was a thorn in his side.
On the other hand, in Zhou Yan's family, his parents were ordinary workers who had neither money nor power. Children from poor families are already sensible. Zhou Yan was worried that he would cause trouble to his parents and didn't want to offend Tao Rukun. And as a teenage girl, Zhou Yan's face is also quite thin.
Tao Rukun's entanglement at the door of the classroom made her feel helpless, so Zhou Yan thought she could go out and explain things clearly. But she didn't expect that the person in front of her was a demon, and she would be in a deep quagmire for the rest of her life. Seeing his goddess appear, Tao Rukun hurriedly handed over the love letter and bluntly said that he wanted Zhou Yan to be his girlfriend.
Zhou Yan rejected Tao Rukun without thinking about it. In her eyes, Tao Rukun is no different from other suitors, and she just wants to study hard. Perhaps, it is best not to get it. Since then, Tao Rukun has often harassed Zhou Yan, which makes Zhou Yan very bored. The physical strength of small children is very weak. Zhou Yan told his parents about his situation and hoped to get help.
Since they couldn't afford to provoke them, they hid far away. Zhou Yan originally studied in Shouchun Middle School, but because of Tao Rukun, she transferred to Cuozhen Middle School. Although Zhou Yan wanted to escape, Tao Rukun kept chasing her, and even stopped her on the way to school many times.
In this emotional entanglement, Zhou Yan is undoubtedly the most innocent person. She wanted to get rid of Tao Rukun, but Tao Rukun was like a dog skin plaster that she couldn't shake off. Faced with Zhou Yan's resistance, Tao Rukun found it very interesting at first. After all, he has gotten everything he wants in the past ten years and has never been denied.
But Tao Rukun is not a patient person. In his opinion, his willingness to pursue Zhou Yan can be regarded as giving her face. To disagree for so long is to think of yourself as a monkey. Thinking of this, Tao Rukun was angry and angry. At that moment, anger took over reason, and Zhou Yan ushered in the darkest moment of his life.
Although Zhou Yan knew that Tao Rukun was a spoiled child, what he didn't expect was that Tao Rukun would be so extreme. After 7 days of rescue, Zhou Yan is still in a coma. It wasn't until a few days later that Zhou Yan finally woke up. The first thing she felt was pain all over her face and neck.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, and she wanted to raise her hands to grab something around her as a way to find security. The parents standing by the hospital bed were taken aback by Zhou Yan's actions. At that moment, they were all in tears at the age of decades. Zhou Yan wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Burns to her respiratory tract left her speechless.
The days of hospitalization were torturous for Zhou Yan. The extensive burns had left her in constant pain. Every time the flesh first grows, a careless movement can cause the freshly scabbed wound to bleed again. Zhou Yan burst into tears every time, and changing the dressing was the part she was most afraid of.
The torture day after day made Zhou Yan want to end his life. Originally, she woke up and gradually accepted the reality in the company of her parents, but the unbearable pain and disfigurement stirred up all the negative emotions in her heart.
So what will happen to Tao Rukun, the culprit who caused Zhou Yan to become like this?
Follow-up development. Soon after the arson, Tao Rukun was arrested and brought to justice, but considering that he was still a minor, he could only be detained in the Zia Detention Center. What kind of ending and punishment Tao Rukun will face depends on the attitude of Zhou Yan's family. The Zhou Yan family was worried about the power of the Tao Rukun family, and took the lead in posting the matter on the Internet.
This is the post seen by netizens. Seeing that ** was not good for his son, Tao Rukun's parents also stood up to speak for their son. They claimed that Zhou Yan and Tao Rukun were dating, but the family was very opposed. In this case, Zhou Yan had a new boyfriend and did not handle his feelings correctly, which led to the current situation.
Tao Rukun's father, Tao Wen, said that after the accident, they actively apologized for the accident as soon as possible and paid Zhou Yan's medical expenses. He said that the reason for the conflict with the Zhou family was that there was no consensus on the amount of compensation. He couldn't afford the huge compensation from the Zhou family.
Even after talking about it, the Zhou family still insisted, and even posted the matter on the Internet. This is Tao Wen's statement, and the statement of the Zhou family he said is completely different from the statement of the Tao family.
The Zhou family first said that their daughter and Tao Rukun had no relationship problems at all, and it was completely Tao Rukun's unilateral entanglement. After Zhou Yan's accident, the Tao family came to ask for a letter of understanding in exchange for medical expenses.
The Zhou family simply could not accept the content of the letter of understanding, and they were not willing to help others hurt their daughter.
After failing to help his son obtain a letter of forgiveness and get out of the crime, the Tao family directly stopped Zhou Yan's medical expenses. At the beginning, the Zhou family paid the hospitalization fee by themselves, and the follow-up expenses were really difficult to deal with. In the end, Zhou Yan was forced to be discharged from the hospital because she owed more than 100,000 yuan in medical expenses.
The two sides argued endlessly, and they couldn't tell who was telling the truth, but Zhou Yan was undoubtedly the biggest victim. Even after many years, she still can't let go of this past when she mentions it in an interview. In 2012, the court made the most just judgment and gave Zhou Yan justice.
The court sentenced Tao Rukun to 12 years and 1 month in prison, and Zhou Yan's family received more than 1.8 million yuan in compensation. But no amount of money can erase the damage suffered by Zhou Yan, and the girl's youth came to an abrupt end. After her face was disfigured, Zhou Yan became a little withdrawn. She is reluctant to make contact with the outside world, for fear that others will see her ugly injuries.
Due to the confrontation between the Zhou family and the Tao family, netizens are paying close attention to the progress of this case, and they are also vying to report it. Zhou Yan's experience touched countless people, and they all felt sorry for this poor girl. Many caring people have reached out to the Zhou family, and some organizations have even expressed their willingness to help Zhou Yan regain his appearance.
In 2012 alone, Zhou Yan underwent nine surgeries, large and small, and repaired more than 10 scars on her body. The wounds on his body have been repaired, but the shadow in Zhou Yan's heart cannot be dissipated. Fortunately, with the care of her family and the help of volunteers, Zhou Yan gradually got out of this nightmare.
A few years later, she was finally able to show off her scars in public. This beautiful ** let netizens see an unyielding heart and a tenacious soul. Now Zhou Yan has earned some income through micro-business. She will analyze her annual report to netizens at the end of the year.
At the time, she was unable to continue her studies due to injuries and psychological problems. Now Zhou Yan also plans to study for a bachelor's degree to improve her academic qualifications. There is no doubt that Zhou Yan has entered a new stage of life and has become an inspirational and motivated girl.
