In the 40s of the last century, there was a "husband murder case" that caused a sensation in Shanghai.
Zhan Zhou, who was only 30 years old, used a kitchen knife to finish off her husband Zhan Yunying.
At this time, a full 9 years have passed since they entered into marriage.
At the same time, it is also the 9th year that Zhan Zhou suffered domestic violence from her husband.
The murder case" came out.
Some people say that she is comparable to "Pan Jinlian", she does not abide by women's morals, and she dares to kill her husband;
Some people are also eager to run for Zhan Zhou's family, saying that it is "excusable" for her to kill her husband.
More than half a century later, the "Zhan Zhou's Murder Case" was written into the book by the writer Li Ang.
Now, this bizarre case will be remade into the movie "Sauce Garden Lane".
Directed by Chen Kexin and starring Zhang Ziyi.
According to Douban's film news, the main creative lineup is luxurious, and well-known actors such as Lei Jiayin, Zhao Liying, and Yang Mi are all on the list.
even once because of the dispute over the position, which caused ** comments: "The competition for the position of the actor will only affect the work itself."
However, what you want to talk about at ten o'clock today is Zhan Zhou's "escape from death".
Compared with the ** controversy outside the play, this is more worthy of being remembered.
Not long ago, major theaters have released the first version of the trailer of the movie "Sauce Garden Lane".
Blood dripped down, and the dress of "Zhan Zhou's" played by Zhang Ziyi was stained with blood, carrying a box and slowly going upstairs and appearing in front of people.
And her husband, in that box.
Before becoming a "husband killer", Zhan Zhou also had his own name.
Her original surname was Du, and her nickname was Chunlan.
I haven't read since I was a child, and my parents died early.
She was raised by relatives and had a second name - Zhou Huizhen.
And within a few years of the days under the fence, Zhou Huizhen, who was only 9 years old, was sold to Shanghai by relatives from Danyang, Jiangsu.
Become a girl in a pawnshop and start working to make a living.
waited until she was 17 years old to have her own "family".
The pawnshop proprietress is in charge and marries her to her own guy Ji Zhan Yunying.
Zhou Huizhen, who has been in Lingding for more than ten years, is very yearning for this relationship.
Indeed, at that time, Zhan Yunying was a very good marriage partner.
Tall, with a square head and big ears, it is said that he has also acted in movies, and everyone calls him "Zhan Big Guy".
In addition, the job is also very stable, working as a pilgrimage in the pawnshop, and valuing pawns.
Zhou Huizhen regarded Zhan Yunying as her only support in her heart.
Four years later, the two officially got married and moved to No. 85 Sauce Garden Lane.
Zhou Huizhen also became Zhan Zhou's family.
But no one expected that after marriage, Zhan Yunying gradually revealed his true colors.
First of all, less than two months after marriage, he had a "new love", and he had a head and end with a maid from a family outside.
On the other hand, he quit his job at a pawnshop.
said that he wanted to do some small business by himself and be a merchant who walked the streets and alleys.
In fact, it didn't take long for me to get into the bad habit of gambling.
Zhan Zhou persuaded and cried, but her husband ignored it.
Not to mention losing all the savings in the family, he often committed violence against his wife.
When ordinary people see this, they may think about divorce and leave.
But in those days, husband and wife beating and scolding were commonplace, and the popular one was "knocking out teeth and swallowing blood", and no one would think about filing for divorce.
Zhan Zhou didn't think about it, she still wanted to live a good life with her husband.
Since her husband doesn't earn money, then she goes to work on her own.
Hiding from her husband, Zhan Zhou secretly asked someone to find a job outside in order to solve the problem of food and clothing.
But in the eyes of the husband, such a "show up" behavior has become a manifestation of the wife's "concubine" outside.
He angrily grabbed Zhan Zhou from his place of work and punched and kicked her.
With no livelihood, Zhan Zhou returned home again.
When there is no rice to cook, she goes to dispose of the things at home or borrow money from neighbors.
When the tickets are stacked one after another, life passes tightly.
But she still wants to maintain her marriage, and constantly persuades her husband's prodigal son to turn back:
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, it's still a husband and wife if you have money or not.
Now when your luck is bad, don't play with a bunch of bad friends.
The thrift business is not good, we can do a small business, try to borrow 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, set up a pork ribs rice cake stand, and then change careers when we have a way out......”
But the husband's response was:
"I have all this money, so I'm going to gamble! ”
Writer Su Qing once said:
If she has someone to help and has some ability to resist, she can file for divorce;
If she doesn't give up and guards Zhan Yunying, she can do other activities, maybe she can find a better one;
However, she is a woman with an old brain, and she is used to watching Shaoxing dramas and killing children on weekdays.
She had only two paths, either suicide or murder. ”
Zhan Zhou's first choice was the former.
She bought a potion to take poison, but because she was discovered in time, she came back to life.
Suicide failed, and Zhan Zhou's family took a second path.
On March 20, 1945, Zhan Zhou committed the crime of killing her husband and was arrested red-handed.
After Zhan Zhou's imprisonment, it set off an uproar in Shanghai.
After hearing the details of the case, some people said that she was a "poisonous woman" and demanded that Zhan Zhou's family be arrested and paraded in the streets;
Someone looked at her ** and suspected that she was out of the wall, just like Pan Jinlian.
Because Zhan Yunying is tall and big, ** also once suspected that Zhan Zhou's had the same party.
So he extorted confessions by torture, and two candidates were tried.
One is He **.
Zhan Zhou admitted that he had an extramarital affair with him, but denied that the other party was a colleague in the "husband murder case".
The other is "Little Ningbo".
She said that she had an adulterous affair with the other party, and the decision to "kill her husband" was also conspired by the two two two days in advance.
But after investigation, it was verified that neither He **zi nor "Little Ningbo" had anything to do with the case.
They were nonsense after Zhan Zhoushi was tortured by the police to extract confessions.
From beginning to end, she was the only one who committed the crime.
Zhan Zhou's hand took advantage of her husband's sleep, and then put it in the box, just because she believed what was said in the play:
The woman who threw the dead in the box was all Mrs. Yipin in the end, and none of them had a lawsuit. ”
However, the drama will not come true, and the suffering of the Zhan Zhou clan will not end because of the crime.
The result of the first-instance judgment of the case was found to:
Zhan Zhou was sentenced to death, deprived of public rights for life, and confiscated a kitchen knife, the tool used in the crime. ”
But the controversy over Zhan Zhou's is not over.
Outside, there are writers campaigning for it.
Writers Su Qing, Guan Lu and others published articles in newspapers, arguing that "although the law is unforgivable, the crime is forgivable."
Among them, Su Qing is the most high-profile.
Writer Zhang Ailing once said: "I am unwilling to compare me with Bingxin and Bai Wei." But I feel honored to put my name and that literary heroine along......”
This person is Su Qing.
Two years before the "Murder of the Husband in the Sauce Garden", Su Qing wrote a long article "Ten Years of Marriage" in the magazine.
The "I" in the book, highly educated, married, and also chose to divorce and become an independent woman.
Many people believe that the prototype of "me" is Su Qing himself.
She once gave up her studies for marriage, gave birth to 5 children, and finally woke up from her husband's domestic violence.
In that era, she was a maverick, dared to divorce, and took the lead in standing up for Zhan Zhou's voice.
In "In Defense of the Husband Killer", Su Qing wrote:
This tragedy was caused by thousands of years of feudal etiquette, especially the husband as the wife. ”
Among them, many lawyers also offered to defend Zhan Zhou's pro bono defense.
* The changes have made Zhan Zhou's see a glimmer of vitality:
She appealed in her defence.
First, the second-instance trial result was announced, and the death sentence was upheld;
Later, the Supreme Court sentenced the death sentence to 15 years' imprisonment.
In the end, Zhan Zhou was exempted from the death penalty and served his sentence in Tilanqiao Women's Prison.
After the liberation, Zhan Zhou came to the "Shanghai Farm" in Dafeng, Subei for labor reform.
Here she changed back to her name:
Zhou Huizhen.
Many years after the murder of the husband in the sauce garden, people have different opinions about the ending of Zhou Huizhen.
Some people say that she lived well in the Tilanqiao Women's Prison, because she was good at embroidery, and she was the best in the work of the prisoners;
Some people say that she did not avoid the death penalty and died early.
But later Shanghai reporter Xu Ping came forward and said that he had met Zhou Huizhen.
In 1990, it was at Dafeng Farm in Suda.
That year, Zhou Huizhen was 80 years old.
She is doing well, with a tough body and triangular eyes, which look fierce.
After serving her sentence on the farm, she stayed on the farm to work.
In her forties, she married a local cook.
The two of them have no children, but she recognizes a lot of godsons and goddaughters.
Later, I also found a job in a kindergarten, usually taking care of the children, and the relationship with the neighbors is very good.
At the age of 80, she is still wearing a placket and speaking Shanghainese in the 40s.
No one has mentioned what happened back then.
But she never went back to Shanghai, nor did she go back to Sauce Garden.
Zhan Zhou's life is over.
And she's just Zhou Huizhen.
Time back to the present, and the "Sauce Garden Murder Case" was 78 years ago.
The deceased has long since left, but this incident still brings a lot of touches to people.
is not only because of Zhou Huizhen's experience and the running of others.
But to this day, "divorce" and "domestic violence" are still the pain of many people's marriages.
For some people today, the cliché is still a mountain that is difficult to move.
Do you remember that Su Min who traveled by car in her fifties?
In marriage, she took care of the family and worked hard to raise children, but in exchange for the AA marriage and her husband's long-term domestic violence and cold violence.
She has lived such a life for decades.
It wasn't until her daughter's child went to kindergarten that she ushered in relief.
Driving an RV, she "ran away from home" and embarked on a journey in life.
During this period, she also returned home, but her husband remained unchanged.
But this time, she did not choose to go back, but resolutely chose to divorce.
Since then, the sea and the sky have been reborn.
Ten o'clock Jun admired Aunt Su Min's courage, and was also warmed by the encouragement of others to Su Min.
Marriage has changed from "blind marriage and dumb marriage" to autonomous domination.
Today's women's lives should not repeat Zhou Huizhen's past.
Those who are in the abyss will definitely have a bright future.
And every kind person will definitely help others in their suffering.
