August 25, 1983: The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Decision on Severe Crackdown on Criminal Activities", officially starting the 1983 crackdown.
html What was the reason for the severe crackdown in 383?
There is no accurate statement to this day.
83The main purpose of crackdown is to curb the serious deterioration of social security.
During Mao’s era, there was a serious employment problem for young people in the city! The propaganda agencies at that time regarded the absence of unemployment as the greatest advantage of socialism. In the 1960s, due to the surge in population and the slow development of industry and service industries, cities could no longer provide so many jobs.
Later, during the Cultural Revolution, the total number of educated young people who went to the mountains and countryside reached more than 16 million, which means that one-tenth of the urban population came to the countryside. So many urban youth are unable to find a job. The number is staggering. There are 300,000 in Beijing alone.
This will negate the previous propaganda, and will also bring about very serious social problems, which will inevitably lead to turmoil in the domestic situation.
With no choice but to send these urban young people to the countryside to farm in order to relieve the pressure of employment. This is just drinking poison to quench thirst. After the Cultural Revolution, the educated youth will inevitably return to the city. The country still does not have enough jobs, resulting in a serious unemployment wave.
In 1979, the number of unemployed people accumulated in the city reached 20 million, almost all of them young people. This was the highest number in the history of New China.
As the capital, Beijing should be the easiest place to find a job in the country. There are still 400,000 unemployed people, accounting for 8.6% of the city's total population. On average, there is one unemployed person for every 2.7 urban residents. The number of unemployed people in Tianjin reaches up to 380,000, accounting for 11.7% of the city’s total population. Even today, these numbers are frighteningly high.
The unemployment problem, a hangover from the Mao era, led to a serious decline in urban security in the early 1980s. So many unemployed young people are idle and unable to make a living. Many of them engage in criminal activities, stealing, robbing, and even killing and setting fires. They do everything.
In addition to the serious problems of unemployed people, there are also the sequelae of the Cultural Revolution rebellion and violence.
During the Cultural Revolution, the public security organs were smashed, and rebellions and armed fighting were encouraged, resulting in extremely chaotic social situations, with gangsters and gangsters filling the streets.
Writer Wang Shuo was just a middle school student back then, and he was from a military compound. His instructor father was away teaching for a long time, and his mother, a military doctor, was so focused on work that she wouldn't even take care of Wang Shuo's appendicitis surgery.
In this situation, in order not to be bullied by the gangsters all over the street, Wang Shuo formed a gang with a group of bad boys in the compound and fought and caused trouble all day long. He was arrested and sent to the police station at the age of 15. When Wang Shuo and the others fight, it's not just a matter of punching or kicking them. Instead, they use kitchen knives, daggers, and military thorns at every turn, and it's easy to kill someone.
Little gangsters like Wang Shuo were commonplace back then.
During this period, people could legally break, smash, and loot, fight by force, and even kill people and set fires on the street. The chaos would become unbearable.
The Chongqing Cultural Revolution battles used howitzers , tanks , heavy machine guns , armed ships, and even anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot at People's Liberation Army vehicles that came to stop them. What else should I not dare to do? What about mere hooligans? What.
When the Cultural Revolution just ended, hooligans still filled the streets in many places.
Any unit in any city, big or small, even in cultural industries such as newspapers and publishing houses, will have a group of gangsters who are not easy to mess with. They dress in strange clothes and have dragons and phoenixes painted on their bodies. Many of them have become professional criminals.
In 1978, 530,000 public security and criminal cases were filed in China, setting a historical record; in 1980, more than 750,000 cases were filed nationwide. There were more than 890,000 cases filed nationwide, including more than 50,000 major cases; in 1981, more than 890,000 cases were filed nationwide, including more than 67,000 major cases; in 1982, more than 740,000 cases were filed nationwide, including 64,000 major cases; in the first few years of 1983 Monthly cases have shown a sharp increase again.
The streets are full of hooligans. They openly show off and have a very bad impact. The people's sense of security is very low. This is the fundamental reason for the strict crackdown.
During the severe crackdown, a large number of local gangsters were wiped out. Some of the guys who originally "don't break the big law, but often break the small law, make the police angry and find it difficult to die in the court" were arrested and imprisoned.
Some people believe that the crackdown was triggered by a certain case. There are many opinions on which case
is.
Let’s look at them one by one.
First, the Shanghai Kongjiang Road incident.
On the afternoon of September 9, 1979, Shi Mou, a policeman on duty, discovered that a young man, Xu Mou, was robbing crabs sold by farmers and arrested him. The arrest location was Kongjiang Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, which is a bustling commercial area in Shanghai. Even though he was caught committing robbery, Xu still refused to plead guilty and even made rude remarks. Policeman Shi Mou was angry and slapped him several times. When Shi was escorting the robber away, his accomplices, possibly the robber, started making noises among the onlookers, accusing the police of beating people and surrounding the guard box. 20 policemen came for reinforcements and wanted to take Xu away in a car. Taking advantage of their strength in numbers, these hooligans began to surround the police. At that time, social problems were very serious, and many people were dissatisfied with the public security organs, so some passers-by also participated and took the opportunity to block cars and smash them. Three policemen were injured and the rest were dispersed.
At this time, there were more than 1,000 onlookers. Many people took the opportunity to cause trouble, overturned vendors' vehicles, smashed passing buses, robbed passers-by of their belongings, and even molested women. It happened that a middle-aged woman, Wu, was passing by here after get off work and was stopped by this group of people in the street. Wu's watch and wallet were taken away, and he was maliciously molested by this group of people for a long time. Wu's shirt, bra, and pants were torn, and her breasts and vulva were scratched.
More than 300 local police were mobilized to barely control the situation. The riot had lasted for eight hours. Afterwards, 31 people were arrested, 18 of whom were proven guilty, 7 were sentenced, and 11 were sent to labor camps.
This thing doesn't seem to be a big deal. In those days, people were conservative and molesting women in the street was a big deal, let alone stripping women naked and molesting them in the street. This kind of case can definitely be punished with a heavy sentence. There was a fight between neighbors, and several members of the family stripped the neighbor's woman naked in public. She was eventually sentenced to life with suspended death.
Second, the rape and murder case in Xiguitu Banner of Hulunbuir League.
June 16, 1983, Hongqigou Farm of the Forestry Design Institute in Xiguitu Banner, Hulunbuir League, Inner Mongolia. Yu Hongjie, Han Lijun, and Yang Wanchun, three gangsters with records of theft and crime, coerced seven other local unscrupulous teenagers and went to commit crimes to retaliate against society.
After drinking a lot of alcohol, they carried out a bloody massacre at Hongqigou Farm. Armed with various weapons including semi-automatic rifles and , this group killed 16 people in just one hour. They kidnapped female workers, raped and gang-raped some women, and finally killed several others. After committing a heinous crime, Yu Hongjie and Han Lijun ignited gasoline and blew themselves up, killing one and seriously injuring the other.
The police caught the remaining criminals, but except for Yu Hongjie and Yang Lichun, who were sentenced to death, the other criminals were under 18 years old and thus escaped death.
This case is also very bad. A group of young thugs with no hair on their head actually committed such a big crime, which is no less than the Japanese soldiers massacred the village.
Before the incident, the main criminal Yu Hongjie had publicly threatened to bloodbath the farm many times, but no attention was paid to it!
Third, the two kings of the Northeast.
Brothers Wang Zongfang and Wang Zongwei from Shenyang were controlled and searched by several soldiers while they were stealing from the 463 Air Force Hospital in Shenyang.
What is strange is that the two men were carrying pistols when committing the crime. They drew their guns on the spot and resisted arrest, killing four people and seriously injuring one. These two pistols were accidentally obtained by the Wang brothers after they burglarized the duty room of a prison a few years ago. The strange thing is, why did the Wang brothers bring pistols to steal?
The only explanation is that the Wang brothers must have committed some major case before, possibly involving human life. That's why they carry firearms when stealing, for fear of being caught and sentenced to heavy punishment.
Among the two, the elder brother Wang Zongfang is an unlearned and habitual thief. He has been sent to labor camps and sentenced many times. It is not unusual for him to follow this path.
What’s interesting is that Wang Zongwei is different. He was selected as a pacesetter when he was serving in the army, and his comrades in the same class still don't believe that this person would handle such a big case. After retiring from the army and working in a factory, Wang Zongwei was also selected as a model and was unanimously praised by his leaders.
Wang Zongwei is evil. When he was discharged from the army, he took the stolen bullets and hand grenades directly home to prepare for future crimes.
Among the two brothers, Wang Zongwei was born in the military. Although he mainly played basketball on the team during his service, his marksmanship was also good.
’s elder brother Wang Zongfang doesn’t know how to use a gun at all, and he can’t even shoot with a gun pointed at his nose.
Before the shootout, the Wang brothers’ work passes were taken away by hospital employees and could not be retrieved for a while, and their identities were completely exposed.
With no choice, the Wang brothers could only wander around in society. Their original plan was to go to a relative's home in Hong Kong, but they were surrounded by military police several times. They were first spotted with a pistol by a police officer on the train, and they shot and wounded each other before jumping out of the train and escaping.
While hiding in an empty room in Hengyang, Hunan, the Wang brothers were recognized and had no choice but to flee with all their strength. The crowd acted bravely and chased the Wang brothers on the street. The two men drew their guns and fired randomly, killing one person on the spot and wounding three others.
Knowing that they could not succeed in going south, the Wang brothers traveled around the country and committed crimes in Wuhan, Jiangyin and other places, robbing and killing many people.
In the end, they fled to the mountains of Guangchang, Jiangxi, only to be surrounded and killed by thousands of military police and militiamen.
But the military and police also paid the price, with many casualties.
The Wang brothers were originally just unknown people, but they had many gun battles with the military and police with only two 54 pistols. It took several months to kill them both. This can be said to be a rare case of vicious violence since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Several cases in Beijing
More people believe that the several cases that occurred in the capital Beijing are the key to cracking down.
On October 29, 1980, Wang Zhigang, an educated youth from Beijing, maliciously retaliated against society and detonated explosives at the Beijing Railway Station, killing 9 people and injuring 81 others. This case occurred at the Capital Railway Station, causing extremely bad impact and social panic. The reason why Wang Zhigang blew himself up was to retaliate against society. He was originally from Beijing and went to Wanrong County, Shanxi Province as an educated youth to join the police force.
He was drafted into the army in rural areas in 1973 and served as a soldier in a certain unit of the Railway Engineering Corps. After demobilization in 1975, he was assigned to work as a maintenance worker at a tractor factory in Yuncheng County, Shanxi. Wang Zhigang has been applying to return to his hometown of Beijing, but has always been rejected, and his girlfriend also broke up with him. He was unwilling to stay in a poor valley and be a bachelor, but he was unable to change the status quo, so he chose to commit suicide by explosion and take revenge on society.
On April 2, 1981, three female middle school students in Beijing were rowing in Beihai Park and were targeted by three men. One of them is a criminal on the run, and the other two are gangsters. It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people in the park. The gangster dragged the female student away openly and brazenly, showing his unscrupulousness to the extreme.
Two female middle school students were raped multiple times and one was molested. The case caused an uproar, and eventually all three gangsters were arrested and brought to justice.One of the two people who committed rape was sentenced to death and the other was given a suspended death sentence. The person who only committed indecency was also sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Kidnapping and raping underage girls in broad daylight is a very heinous crime.
On June 17, 1983, two months after the crackdown, a Type 54 pistol was stolen from a lounge reserved for police officers on duty at Beijing Railway Station. Although it only took the Beijing police more than 10 hours to recover the pistol and catch the robber, they were shocked. The robber Li Mourong is a young worker from Inner Mongolia. He tried to steal a pistol to avenge his enemies and society.
After successfully stealing a pistol, if Li Mourong escaped immediately, he would really not be able to be caught. Fortunately, this brainless man thinks that one gun is not enough, and is ready to continue looking for opportunities to steal weapons in Beijing. When he was staying at the hotel with a gun, he happened to be blocked by police officers who were interrogating him. If the police did not catch Li Mourong in time, this guy would definitely commit crimes with a gun, and the consequences would be disastrous!
There are many similar cases, even the security in the capital is like this, and the security in the country can be imagined.
At that time, it seemed that a severe crackdown was necessary.
Severe crackdowns also have the problem of overly harsh sentences and overly broad crackdowns, leaving many sequelae.
A popular jingle at the time was called "Those who can be arrested or not, arrest them resolutely; those who can be sentenced or not, be sentenced resolutely; those who can be killed or not be killed, be killed resolutely."
The famous Baibao Shan , on January 21, 1983, he and Zhang broke locks three times in a row and stole one Swan brand Kun watch, one old leather jacket, two silk quilts, one nylon double mosquito net, and one nylon automatic umbrella. There were more than 70 pieces of shoes, women's high heels, etc., worth 500 yuan. He was sentenced to 44 years in prison for robbery and theft.
was sentenced to 4 years in prison for stealing 500 yuan, which makes sense.
The key is that on the night of December 17, 1982, Bai Baoshan stole a corn 3 schoolbag in a courtyard on Qian Street in the ancient city. He was discovered by the victim and chased outside the door. During the scuffle between the two parties, Bai Baoshan hit the victim on the head with a wooden stick, causing a linear skull fracture and scalp laceration, which required 9 stitches.
According to the current injury assessment standards, it was just a simple linear skull fracture, which did not cause intracranial bleeding. It was a mild craniocerebral injury and a minor injury.
In addition, it was discovered that Baibaoshan had had three thefts worth more than 4,000 yuan.
Therefore, Bai Baoshan was sentenced to 11 years for the crime of robbery and 7 years for theft. The two crimes were combined to serve 11 years, and the previous 4 years for theft were combined to serve 15 years (from March 8, 1983 to March 1997 until 7 days).
Bai Baoshan thought the sentence was too harsh. He stole some things and beat someone with a stick, so he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
After he was released from prison, Bai Baoshan killed 17 people and injured 15 people and was arrested again. He once said: "I don't accept it! I have thought about it. The law sentenced me like this. After I serve my sentence, I will kill people and kill those who are subject to the law." If the law punishes me. In ten years, I will kill adults; if the law sentences me to life (imprisonment), and my sentence is reduced, I will be old and unable to kill adults, so I will kill children, go to kindergartens and kill as many as I can, until Until you can't kill anymore..."
This is the inner monologue of the murderous maniac, and he basically does the same.
