01 Real case review
Yang Xinhai, male, 1970 Born in Zhengyang County, Henan Province, he was born in a poor family and has 6 siblings. He is the third.
According to the memories of his parents, Yang Xinhai was the smartest child in the family. He did well in reading and liked singing and painting. His family had hoped for him, even if other children were suspended from school due to poverty, but they have always supported him until the third year of high school. .
However, all good things came to an abrupt end in his senior year of high school.
Because Yang Xinhai, who was 17 years old that year, suddenly left school. One year after losing contact, he took the initiative to contact his father to say that he was working in a brick kiln.
His father took the train for a day and a night to see him at his work place. Because of his bad words, he asked him to pay attention to his body before returning to his hometown.
One year later, Yang Xinhai was taken in by a shelter in Guangzhou. His father went again, hoping to take his son back, but Yang Xinhai resolutely refused to do it, and his honest father left by himself again.
He might not have thought of this difference. His son had no news. Once again, he received news that Yang Xinhai was arrested for committing a serial murder.
In the eyes of his family, the news was too sudden. Because in their hearts, Yang Xinhai is an introvert and can endure hardships, not to mention how kind, but not so mad.
Obviously, they don't know what happened to Yang Xinhai during the years when he lost contact with his family.
1988 Yang Xinhai was sentenced to 1 year in prison for pickpocketing, and in 1991 he was sentenced to two years in prison for pickpocketing again. During this period, he had a girlfriend that he liked very much, and promised to wait for him when he was in prison, but when he finished serving his sentence and went to find his girlfriend, he found that the other party was already married.
In 1996, Yang Xinhai served another four years in prison for attempted rape. Yang Xinhai, then 30, had already been in prison for seven years.
But this did not make Yang Xinhai fear the law in the slightest. From September 2000 to August 2003, he traveled through the four provinces of Henan, Anhui, Shandong, and Hebei in just three years, committing more than 20 consecutive crimes and 67 deaths. , The rape of 19 corpses was cruel and heinous, which can be said to be a perverted serial murderer.
Why are honest people who used to have good grades, introverts, and are willing to work hard in brick kilns, go to jail time and time again, become cold-blooded and cruel, and finally commit bloody felonies one after another and remain indifferent at trial?
From the perspective of psychology, Yang Xinhai has obvious antisocial personality disorder (antisocial personality disorder), also known as affectionless personality disorder (affectionless personality disorder) or social disease (sociopathy) , Is the type with more serious impact and harm to society.
is characterized by being highly aggressive, lacking a sense of shame, unable to learn from experience, behavior driven by accidental motives, will have obvious adverse social adaptation reactions, unable to maintain normal work and interpersonal relationships, cold-blooded Ruthlessly ruthless.
02 What is the cause of "antisocial personality disorder"?
From a psychological point of view, poor family growth environment, improper parenting methods, and severe physical and mental frustration during growth are the three biggest inducements. These are all manifested in Yang Xinhai.
According to media reports, Yang Xinhai’s grandfather was shot when his father was 15 years old. His father grew up in an environment where economic conditions are difficult and mentally contemptuous. He married around the age of 20. His wife (Yang Xinhai’s Mother) married him while wandering,The two have no education, rarely leave the village, and have not lived a decent life for decades.
Under this premise, Yang Xinhai was born, and his parents were struggling to feed their 6 children, and they had no intention of paying attention to their children's psychological conditions.
Yang Xinhai, as a child, couldn’t perceive the embarrassment of his family, until he entered puberty, comparing his classmates’ food and clothing consumption, he was short in stature, mediocre, living in a tight life, and being teased from time to time, he felt intense spirit. Shock.
Plus his parents and siblings were too busy to take care of themselves, none of them noticed something wrong. At the same time, the family has never had the consciousness of communicating and talking, so he can only bear all negative emotions silently.
When he reached high 3, his inner depression, pain, and helplessness reached a peak, so he left school without knowing his parents to work. I guess his initial purpose was to change the environment. On the other hand, I want to make money and change my life.
At first, the 17-year-old Yang Xinhai had no diploma (high school graduate), no skills, and no discipline. He was still worthy of his duty and decided to work in a hard and tiring brick kiln.
It is said that someone at the construction site bullied his young age and deliberately deducted his wages. Although he was angry, he did not have a direct conflict with anyone. He stole some aluminum from the construction site and sold it. Suddenly, he found that this method of payment was easy Simple and not angry, it will be difficult to rest afterwards.
I believe this was also the source of his life from pickpocketing in the following years. Of course, he also paid a total of 3 years in prison for his unearned pickpocketing.
Originally, his ex-girlfriend promised to wait for him to give him some warmth and hope, but when he was released from prison, he discovered that his girlfriend had been betraying his marriage, which undoubtedly pushed him further into the dark, and also buried hatred and hatred for women in his heart. Seeds of contempt.
After being imprisoned for 4 years for attempted rape in 1996, and his tongue was bitten off by the woman, his resentment towards women began to escalate. From his vision, he was destined to not end the crime easily because of the attempted crime. And successful crime will be punished.
Yang Xinhai committed the first murder on September 19, 2000.The victim was an elderly couple who were similar in age and situation to his parents. They lived in a remote and poor family. He used a very cruel hammer to kill the lives of two innocent old people.
From a psychological point of view, his choice of victims is not random. It can be said that he deliberately chose with some resentment towards his native family.
Because in his adolescence, he saw that his classmates and parents took care of their children, the close and good relationship, and the excellence of the parents themselves were always a thorn in his heart. When he stumbled and was unable to live a good life, he would subconsciously Blame the parents. When I'm sure my parents can't rely on me, I want to draw a line with them, and I feel that I can isolate myself from the source of unhappy life.
That's why he ran away from home and began to vent his murderous acts in a fierce manner.
The victim of his second crime was a 62-year-old woman in the village, her 7-year-old grandson and 12-year-old granddaughter. It was also during this crime that he began to rape the body.
This is a perverted behavior that is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, but in Yang Xinhai’s mind, it may be out of insults and venting of anger towards women on the one hand, and on the other hand because the corpse will not resist, making him feel safer. After all, he had been in the psychological shadow of being thrown into prison before being bitten off a piece of tongue by a female victim.
Some media have pointed out that the victims of Yang Xinhai's later period have always been very similar to the situation of the first two cases. The victims also lived in remote villages, the same family members, and most of them were elderly, women and Child, everything seems to be repeating the first two crimes.
Objectively speaking, Yang Xinhai is short and not very powerful. He will choose weak objects and commit crimes in places with little traffic. He will feel more secure.
From a psychological point of view, serial killers usually choose victims according to certain rules and biases. Once fixed, there will be basically no major changes. At the same time, for criminals, a "psychological safety crime zone" is needed. , He will determine that a certain place is suitable for committing crimes for some reason, and there is a high probability that he will not leave this large area.
03 What inspiration can this case give us?
The demon Yang Xinhai was executed in accordance with the law in 2004, but his crimes against innocent victims are unforgivable, and the harm to his family members cannot be forgiven.
Speaking of this case, on the one hand, I want to say that everything has cause and effect. Yang Xinhai was either a murderous maniac at birth. His deterioration is closely related to his native family, growth experience and his own perception of things.
is not to blame Yang Xinhai's parents. Objectively speaking, they are all honest and law-abiding. Maybe I can't figure out why the most educated and hopeful son in the family suddenly turned into a murderer?
This is actually the crux of the problem.
Although Yang Xinhai's parents themselves are quite pitiful, they both made a living by themselves when they were in their 10s. But it is undeniable that they all grew up in an environment lacking parental education.
They do not have parents to be the right role models, they do not know how to run a good family, let alone how to educate and guide their children to grow up healthily.
The serious lack of material, so that they can only focus on how to feed their children. The so-called attention to thoughts and psychological development are totally unknown.
In addition, he is not good at words and does not understand communication, which makes children unable to feel caring.
They don't know that various sense organs will be amplified during adolescence. When negative emotions continue to strike, they will bury hidden dangers when they are not properly guided and relieved.
If you become an adult, you are frustrated with people and emotionally without any emotional support, self-esteem and self-confidence are constantly rubbed on the ground, and you feel that life is hopeless and meaningless, and complain that your birth and hatred have caused yourself harm Or those who are living well, if they want to fall into the door of sin, they will harm others and themselves.
04 How to avoid "antisocial personality disorder"?
The following are suggestions for parents:
①Before you decide to have a child, you must be prepared both financially and mentally.It is not that the poor do not have the right to reproduce, but that being too poor really makes people have no time to take care of others. It is not only pressure but also a lot of hidden dangers for themselves and their children.
② Regardless of the economic conditions, learn to pay attention to the child's thoughts and mental state, communicate with them more, and relieve their mental pressure in a timely manner to guide the child to establish the correct three views.
③You must make your children feel cared for. Children who grow up in love are not only warmer, more empathetic, and more resistant to negative emotions.
④ No matter what the situation of the parents themselves, don’t give up learning and progress, strive to be better parents and set a good example for their children, and understand that family is the first environment for children to grow up.
The following are suggestions for individuals:
①Everyone can’t choose between birth and parents. If your native family is unfortunate and even hurts you, please remember that this cannot be your choice Reasons to fall or to hurt innocent people.
Even if there are shadows behind you, you can also choose to be a person born to the sun, because you and others deserve a better life.
②In the face of negative emotions, don't avoid or hide, learn to face them bravely, use the correct methods to resolve them, and don't reject seeking professional psychological help when necessary.
③Life is short. Don’t spend energy on resentment or targeting others. We should focus on enhancing our own value and creating a better life;
We must understand that only we are getting better and better and better. Getting better and better is the best counterattack to all the previous hurt and disdain.
④Please keep a certain innocence and perpetual kindness. This is not to let everyone refuse to grow up or remain stupid, but to hope that we have awe of life and others, and at the same time have curiosity, willing to discover life and The beauty of others can also understand and tolerate some unpleasant existence without complaint.
