Not long ago, the host Zhang Zequn published a short and concise article on social platforms, and every word in it deeply touched the heartstrings of the majority of netizens: "The chairman privately divides 2600 million was sentenced to 5 years, while college students were sentenced to 10 years ...... digging birds' nestsWhy is the gap between people so big......The article sparked a heated debate, reminding people of the events that shook the country in 2015.
A short message, but it has attracted the attention of the whole people. "What kind of bird is this, which can make a person squat for more than 10 years ......"，"Human life is not as expensive as the life of a bird......"，"None of the child traffickers have been sentenced to such serious ......"。
At that time, the ** was one-sided and shouted injustice for the college students. And now, after nearly 10 years of living behind bars, the college students have had their sentences commuted many times because of their good behavior, and they are about to regain their freedom.
His father appealed several times, but was dismissed. In response to this incident, people began to question whether the process of digging the bird was really as serious as the verdict suggested.
Is the convicted college student really innocent? Yan Xiaotian, a college student from a small village in Henan, was loved by children in his village because of his lively and cheerful personality and playful characteristics when he was a child.
Yan Xiaotian, a young man who was admitted to Zhengzhou Vocational and Technical College with his own efforts, began the university life he dreamed of. His father, Yan Aimin, is a simple and down-to-earth person, and he doesn't have too many extravagant hopes for his child's future, and only hopes that he can find a decent job and live a stable life after graduation.
However, fate is always full of accidents, and in Yan Xiaotian's freshman year, an accident changed the trajectory of his life.
In the scorching summer of 2014, the summer vacation that students have been waiting for has finally arrived. At this time, Yan Xiaotian said goodbye to the campus and returned to his hometown. He has a firm goal in mind: to reduce the financial pressure on his family by using his own hands to earn tuition and living expenses through work-study.
Fortunately, his father, Yan Aimin, worked in a factory, so he introduced his son Yan Xiaotian to him. However, the factory was very labor-intensive and the working conditions were very difficult.
Although Yan Xiaotian was a young and strong man, he seemed powerless in the face of such a severe challenge, and finally reluctantly chose to leave.
In the boring afternoon, Yan Xiaotian began to look for a way to have fun. That summer was unusually hot, so he decided to invite his friend Wang Yajun to swim in the river to cool off. The two of them took a dip in the river and enjoyed the coolness.
Suddenly, Yan Xiaotian caught a glimpse of some strange birds in the neighbor's tree, and a bold idea appeared in his mind. In fact, in rural areas, climbing trees to dig birds' nests or using bamboo baskets to set traps to catch birds is a kind of childhood fun for many people.
Yan Xiaotian also wanted to experience this kind of fun.
Yan Xiaotian was emaciated, and his tree-climbing skills were unique, and he climbed to the top of the tree in one go. At this moment, the scene in front of him made his heart beat faster, and several newly hatched chicks were chirping in the nest in the treetops.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaotian's heart beat faster, and he stretched out his arms and tried his best to reach the bird's nest. In the end, his efforts were not in vain, and he succeeded in holding the entire bird's nest in his hands.
His friend Wang Yajun exclaimed, which filled him with satisfaction and pride.
In"Operation Bird Digging"Wang Yajun proposed to divide the 12 birds equally, but Yan Xiaotian said that he had obtained the birds alone and hoped to raise them alone. After returning home, Yan Xiaotian began to study bird breeding guides, taking care of these birds with his heart, watching them grow day by day, and their appearance is also changing.
This bird is black, white and brown overall, and its beak is unique in the shape of a hook, which is particularly special. Yan Xiaotian speculated that it might be a rare variety. He took several beautiful full-body photos of the bird and posted them online with the caption: "Does anyone know this particular bird?" ”
Yan Xiaotian's group of ** quickly became popular on the Internet, attracting countless netizens to watch and like, and even private messages inquiring about the variety and price of birds in an endless stream. One of the netizens even offered to buy the 7 birds in his hand for 800 yuan, which made Yan Xiaotian feel extremely surprised.
The first business went very smoothly, he successfully ** 7 birds, net profit of 800 yuan, won the success of the first attempt at online sales.
In the past, when I worked in the summer vacation, I only earned less than 100 yuan a day, but now as long as I sell a few birds, my income can be close to the salary of ten days of part-time work.
Then, Yan Xiaotian sold two birds to a buyer in Luoyang for 280 yuan, and a seller in Huixian City also bought one from him, earning a total of more than 1,000 yuan, which was his first pot of gold.
Yan Xiaotian, who tasted the sweetness, became obsessed with bird hunting, and whenever he was free, he would run to the wild to "hunt".
Yan Xiaotian originally lived a quiet life, but he was noticed by the police of the Forest Public Security Bureau because of the sale of falcons online. Many people may ask, isn't it just a bird's nest?
How can it attract the attention of the police? But in fact, these falcons are national second-class protected animals and have important ecological and scientific value. Therefore, Yan Xiaotian's behavior has violated relevant laws and regulations, and he needs to bear corresponding responsibility.
We should respect and protect wild animals, refrain from illegal hunting and trade, and work together to maintain ecological balance and biodiversity.
If you know the law and break the law, you will bear the consequences. Yan Xiaotian violated the law by capturing state-protected animals without permission, despite the prohibition of the law. Although he succeeded in catching 4 falcons, this behavior brought great harm to the ecological environment.
Fortunately, he was discovered by plainclothes police in time, and he was criminally detained. This incident once again reminds us that we must respect the law, protect the ecological environment, and jointly maintain social harmony and stability.
Yan Xiaotian did not realize the seriousness of the problem, he thought that the crime of digging the bird's nest was not too big, and he did not kill the birds, so he thought that it was not a big deal. However, things turned out more than he expected.
According to Chinese law, the capture of 6 falcons is a serious circumstance, and the capture of 10 falcons is a particularly serious circumstance. So, how many did Yan Xiaotian catch? He captured a total of 14 falcons and 2 falcons, a total of 16, which has exceeded the maximum sentencing standard and is a very serious crime.
On May 28, 2015, the Hui County Court rendered a judgment on the case of college students digging birds' nests. Yan Xiaotian was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison and fined 10,000 yuan for illegally purchasing and hunting rare and endangered wild animals.
His friend Wang Yajun was also sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 5,000 yuan for the same crime. When the verdict was announced, Yan Aimin was shocked and helpless, and his son Yan Xiaotian had no idea that they were capturing a protected animal.
But the law cannot be ignored, and we must respect and protect wildlife, even in rural areas.
Yan Xiaotian, who is in his 20s, was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for a crime, which angered his father, Yan Aimin, who he described as being like being shot to death, robbing him of his youth.
However, was it Yan Xiaotian's unintentional or intentional actions that led to this result? Before answering this question, we need to understand the habits of falcons.
Falcons generally lay about 3 eggs and have a strong sense of territory, and their nests do not congregate in the same tree.
Yan Xiaotian caught more than 10 falcons, and considering the habits of the falcons, these were definitely not caught on the same tree. To catch so many falcons, it may be necessary to dig in 5 different nests.
Falcons are carnivores and therefore require a large amount of space and territory to hunt, which means that there will be considerable distance between each falcon's nest. Yan Xiaotian dug out 5 bird's nests, which was already quite a wide range of hunting.
So, some people may ask: even if the hunt is extensive, why is it sentenced to 10 years? Don't jump to conclusions, this ten-year sentence includes more than just falcon hunting.
When investigating Yan Xiaotian's mobile phone, it was found that he frequently searched for falcons, and posted information on social media peddling falcons. At the same time, ** also found some groups suspected of selling falcons in his QQ account, such as Henan Falcon Lovers and Henan Falcon Club.
Through the investigation of these clues, ** found that Yan Xiaotian not only illegally sold falcons, but also illegally bought crested eagles, and then sold them to earn the difference.
Although Yan Xiaotian may not have been motivated by malice, he obviously knew that he was capturing a falcon, a national second-class protected animal. His 10-and-a-half-year sentence was the result of knowing the law and combining the punishment for several crimes.
The facts of this case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, the conviction is accurate, and the sentence is appropriate, so this sentence is reasonable. Although Yan Aimin could not accept the verdict and decided to appeal, he even expressed his willingness to bankrupt his family to "seek justice" for his son.
In order to strive for a commutation of his sentence, he even asked the whole village to write a letter, describing Yan Xiaotian's good qualities and his status as a college student, hoping that the court would open up to him and reduce the punishment.
Yan Aimin actively sought materials to prove that his son Yan Xiaotian had good moral character, and attracted public attention with the help of **'s report. However, in order to pursue traffic, some ** only pay attention to the fact that Yan Xiaotian was sentenced to ten years in prison, and ignore the fact that he knows the law and violates the law and is punished for several crimes.
Due to a lack of knowledge of the facts, some netizens began to support commutation and commutation of sentences, and even questioned the fairness of the legal process. The court has repeatedly explained to Yan Aimin that as an adult, he should be responsible for his actions, and the law will not open up to him because he is a college student.
In addition, Yan Xiaotian has already broken the law many times, and if he is not punished, he may continue to make even greater mistakes.
Yan Aimin firmly believes in his son's innocence, although the court's verdict makes him unacceptable. He has appealed several times, all of which have failed. In order to prove his point, he frequently traveled to the courthouse, which caused serious disruption to the normal work of the judges.
Many judges would have a headache when they saw him, and Yan Aimin even joked to himself: "When the judge sees me, it's like seeing a plague god." ”
Although his father Yan Aimin has always adhered to the path of pursuing justice, Yan Xiaotian understands his mistakes. When he learned that his father had been campaigning for him, his heart was filled with deep remorse.
In a letter to his parents, he said: "I'm in my fifties, and you still have a long life ahead of you, don't waste all your time and experience on me. I'm doing well here, don't worry about me. ”
In order to reassure them, Yan Xiaotian talked more about his changes and progress in the letter, such as being praised by the prison guards for his positive performance, and he found his interest in prison and began to learn ** and draw.
Yan Xiaotian has been given many opportunities to have his sentence commuted due to his outstanding performance, and if nothing else, he will be released next year. Seeing that their son had already repented, Yan Aimin and his wife decided to give up the appeal because they had already paid too much for it, and even exhausted the family's wealth.
They have now decided to work hard to earn money and provide better living conditions for their son. As a father, Yan Aimin didn't do anything wrong. He just couldn't accept that his son had made such a mistake, and everything he did was out of deep and pure love for his son.
This case, which has been in the past 10 years, has once again aroused heated discussions because of the short article of the host Zhang Zequn. Keywords: cooperation with labor reform, repentance, commutation, release, appeal, exhaustion of money, making money, better life, father's love, case, Zhang Zequn, short essay, discussion among netizens.
After understanding the whole course of the incident, it is meaningless to discuss the sentencing of the college student's bird's nest case, because it is a just, fair and open legal ruling. Many netizens only noticed the words of 10 years in prison, but ignored the overall process of the case, mistakenly thinking that "the sentence was heavy".
In fact, this is not only about digging birds' nests, but also about an organized, premeditated, for-profit criminal activity.
The purpose of the law is not just to punish, it is more to monitor and curb crime, so that every citizen can understand the consequences of crime. Therefore, we need to strengthen legal education, improve everyone's legal awareness and literacy, and let everyone know that it is not advisable to violate laws and disciplines.
