On November 13, 1935, Master Fuming was lecturing on the stage in Tianjin Jushi Lin. The great meritorious deity Jin Yunpeng was unable to arrive due to rain and slippery roads. During this time, a plump and fair female lay practitioner moved to the front rows on the pretext that the stove behind her was too hot. She walked behind the first old layman, took out a pistol , and shot him in the back of the head, temple and waist.

After the murder, the woman took out a stack of leaflets and distributed them while shouting: "I am Shi Jianqiao. I beat Sun Chuanfang to death to avenge my father. One person is responsible for what he does, and he will never implicate others!" Then he surrendered. . Major newspapers got the flyers, issued warnings, and reported frantically, arousing huge public attention.

Shi Jianqiao

html In December, the Tianjin District Court opened the trial of the "Shi Jianqiao case", and the legal teams of both sides conducted a fierce debate. The Shi family's lawyers are voluntary and believe that:

1 and Shi Jianqiao "surrendered" in the case and should receive a reduced sentence.

2. Shi’s shooting of Sun Chuanfang was a kind of “passionate revenge” out of filial piety. The "Criminal Law of the Republic of China" stipulates: "Anyone who kills someone out of righteous indignation on the spot shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than seven years ".

3. Confucian classics have a tradition of sympathy for "revenge". Liu Zongyuan, Wang Anshi, etc. all believe that when the authorities do not act, to avenge their father and brother, one should "use their power and forgive their feelings."

4. Appeal to morality. " Filial piety comes first among all good deeds", the law "although it cannot encourage killing, it cannot conceal filial piety".

The Sun family’s legal team opposed giving Shi Jianqiao any legal sympathy for the following reasons:

1, Shi Congbin’s death was part of the war.

2. There is no plot for Shi Jianqiao to "surrender", nor is it "killing in anger". She had buried her desire for revenge in her heart for ten years, and it was a premeditated and intentional murder.

3, Confucian classics cannot be applied to modern cases.

4. Sun Chuanfang, as a frontline commander, has the power to try and punish prisoners of war. The White Russian mercenaries led by Shi Congbin looted villages and harmed civilians.
