When we look back, some memories are as vague as dust, while others are unforgettable. Today, I want to tell a story about memory and sin, a case of murder and child trafficking that has been buried for 19 years.
Can you imagine witnessing your mother's murder when you were 7 years old? This is Xu Yang's childhood memory. Every time he lifted the brush, a bloody and horrific scene appeared on the canvas: his mother was stabbed with a knife and fell in front of him and his younger brother, and they were powerless as a young child.
July 12, 1994 was a day that can never be forgotten for Lao Zhao, a native of Sichuan. When he came home from work that day, he found that his wife Xiao Xueqin and two sons were missing. In the era of poor communication, he anxiously searched everywhere, but found nothing. Two months later, he reluctantly wrote on the family tree: his wife Xiao Xueqin ran away with her two children.
However, the truth of the matter is far more complicated than that. In 2012, in Sihui City, Guangdong, the young Xu Yang began to trace his memories with a paintbrush. The scene in his painting is the scene of his mother's murder. It was then that people realized that the murder was inextricably linked to the disappearance 19 years ago.
It turned out that Xiao Xueqin did not leave the town, but was brutally killed. And her two children, Xu Yang and her younger brother Kuankuan, were abducted and trafficked thousands of miles away. For years, they have lived in the shadow of sin, trying to find their way home.
This case makes us wonder: why can sin be buried for so many years? Why do innocent people suffer so much? How can we protect every child from harm?
Xu Yang's brushes are not only in pursuit of memory, but also in calling for justice and conscience. Let us remember this history, speak up for those innocent victims, and fight for justice.
Xu Yang vaguely remembers that summer, when the sun shone on the streets of the town, he and his younger brother followed his mother to the town to shop. It was an ordinary summer afternoon, but it became a memory that can never be erased from his life.
They passed a storefront room when a man burst out of the room and beckoned to his mother. Mom seemed to know him and followed him into the room. Xu Yang and his younger brother were playing at the door, waiting for his mother's return. However, a nightmare awaited them.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the room, and Xu Yang and his younger brother ran in in a panic. They saw several vicious men surrounding their mother, flashing with knives and blood splattering. Mom collapsed in a pool of blood, unable to answer their calls. At that moment, Xu Yang's heart was filled with tearing pain, and he couldn't imagine that such a scene would happen to him.
After his mother was killed, Xu Yang and his younger brother were locked up in a downstairs room by several bad guys. There was a window in the door of that room, which became their only hope. They tried to climb out of the window, looking for an escape. However, when they are about to climb over the wall, they are discovered by the bad guys. A severe beating almost knocked them unconscious, and to calm them down, the bad guys even gave them something similar to sleeping pills.
Those days seemed like an endless nightmare, and Xu Yang and his younger brother were imprisoned in that room, unable to communicate with the outside world. Whenever night falls, Xu Yang's dreams always show scenes of his mother being killed, and those terrifying images make him unable to sleep.
After being locked up in the man's house for a week, Xu Yang and his younger brother were taken on the train. They were taken to an unfamiliar place, a village in the city of Putian, Fujian Province. There, they stayed in the house of a man named Ahwa. However, the good times did not last long, and the younger brother was bought. Since then, Xu Yang has never seen his brother again.
After living in Ah He's house for more than ten days, Xu Yang was bought home by Uncle Xu, a farmer in the next village. He changed his name to Xu Yang and began his life in Uncle Xu's house. However, life there was not easy. He often did not have enough to eat, and he had to do all kinds of household chores and farm work. Despite this, he was still often beaten by Uncle Xu.
At the age of 13, Xu Yang's adoptive father took him to an apprenticeship in a jade factory in Guangdong. It was his first chance to get in touch with the outside world. He worked tirelessly to learn the art of jade carving, hoping that one day he would be able to earn money to go home to his mother. However, he didn't know that his mother had left him forever.
When he was 16 years old, his adoptive father, Uncle Xu, returned to Fujian, leaving him to work alone in Guangdong. During that time, he traveled to many places in Jiangsu, Hubei, and Jiangxi, hoping to find the memory of home. However, his search for his relatives was full of hardships and disappointments. He never found any clues about him, and he didn't know who his father was or what his mother's name was.
Time flies, and the ignorant teenager has transformed into a young man in his 20s. Yongyong, there are too many unsolved mysteries and deep thoughts behind this name. The concept of home has always been a vague fog in his heart, but the longing for his biological parents has never been dissipated.
During the Spring Festival in 2012, Yongyong accidentally captured a fragment of his childhood memories at a dinner party at a friend's house in Sichuan. The two dishes on the table, the familiar taste, awakened his long-dormant memories. This is the taste of his mother, a common dish in his childhood home. At that moment, Yongyong firmly believed that his hometown was in Sichuan.
With the emergence of this clue, Yongyong contacted the Sichuan volunteers of "Baby Home" through the Internet. Touched by what happened to him, the volunteers were determined to help Yong Yong on his journey to find his biological parents. Yongyong tried hard to recall the fragments of his childhood, pieced together those fragments of memories about home, and posted them on the ** of "Baby Come Home". The crowd of dragon dances, the small pond behind the house, the small stone bridge on the way to school, ......These memories became a key clue to his search for home.
With the joint efforts of the majority of netizens and volunteers, on September 1, 2012, Yongyong embarked on the road to Sichuan and Chongqing to find relatives. However, despite seven days of searching in various places, no definite clues related to the home could be found. Surprisingly, they are actually only 5 kilometers away from Yongyong's home.
On September 3, 2012, a local newspaper in Sichuan reported Yongyong's story, which attracted widespread attention from the society. Just when everyone was disappointed, good news came from Sichuan. A volunteer from Kaijiang County said he remembered that there had been an incident in which a mother and son had gone missing, which was highly consistent with the information provided by Yongyong. After further investigation, the local police station confirmed this information and found Yongyong's biological father, Lao Zhao.
After receiving the exact news, Yongyong quickly went to Kaijiang County. After 19 years, he finally returned to his hometown and reunited with his father. However, the impermanence of fate prevented Yongyong from seeing his grandparents and grandmother for the last time in the 19 years he was abducted.
In the reunion between Yongyong and his father Lao Zhao, in addition to joy and emotion, there is also a mystery haunting the hearts of the two: Yongyong's mother Xiao Xueqin has gone? Why did she choose to run away from home in the first place?
Yong Yong decided to reveal to his father the memories he had in his heart over the years. It was a sunny afternoon, and the father and son sat in the living room of their home, and Yongyong began to tell the story of the dusty past. He said that his mother had told him that someone was going to hurt them, so she fled the house with Yongyong and his younger brother Kuankuan. However, in the process of escaping, the mother and son were separated, Yongyong and his younger brother were abducted, and the whereabouts of the mother became a mystery.
After listening to Yongyong's narration, Lao Zhao's mood was extremely heavy. He decided to go with Yongyong to the local police to report the case. ** Attached great importance to this case, after a preliminary investigation, they were convinced that the murder of Yongyong's mother did exist, but the lack of direct evidence brought considerable difficulties to the investigation.
With the meticulous investigation of the suspect's place of residence, the truth of this 9-year-long murder and child trafficking case has gradually been revealed. Although the time has passed and the scene has been cleaned up, the traces left by the crime are difficult to erase after all. ** Old blood stains were found behind the door of the room and on the cabinet legs, and after DNA comparison, these blood stains belonged to the same person as the bones found outside the house - Xiao Xueqin.
The cracking of this case is not only the end of Yongyong and his father Lao Zhao's 19-year pain, but also a firm defense of justice and the law. The main culprit, Phuket Jian and Liao Dingjie, were arrested for the crime of homicide and child trafficking, and the other people involved in the case were also punished by the corresponding law. With the help of **, Yongyong found his abducted brother Kuankuan, and the brothers were finally reunited on April 19, 2013.
This case is deeply shocking and painful. The helplessness and fear of a 7-year-old child witnessing the murder of his mother is unimaginable. For the sake of tens of thousands of yuan of child trafficking, criminals brutally killed and dismembered an innocent mother, which seriously violated the bottom line of humanity and morality.
Justice, though it may be late, is never absent. The law is just, no matter how cunning and ** the criminals are, they will not escape the punishment of the law after all. The cracking of this case is not only a punishment for the criminals, but also a firm safeguard of justice and the rule of law. May the deceased rest in peace, and may the victims and their families receive the solace and justice they deserve.
