On the afternoon of April 14, 1997, Taiwanese artist Bai Bingbing , who was recording songs in the recording studio, suddenly received a call.
The man on the other end of the phone told her "Your daughter Bai Xiaoyan is in our hands. If you want to see your daughter, go to the cemetery of Changgeng Golf Course in Guishan Township alone."
After putting down the phone, Bai Bingbing, who was half-believing and half-doubted, drove to the Guishan Cemetery accompanied by her brother Bai Yankun.
After arriving at the cemetery, Bai Bingbing and her brother searched in the cemetery for 4 hours, but they still found nothing.
Just when they thought it was just a boring prank, Bai Bingbing accidentally found a plastic bag under her feet.
When she carefully opened the plastic bag, she was frightened by the scene in front of her.
The plastic bag contains a piece of fingers, three and a half-fruit photos and a letter of help from his daughter Bai Xiaoyan "Mom, I was kidnapped. It's very painful now. You must save me, don't call the police!"
Judging from the messy handwriting on the letter of help, Bai Xiaoyan must have called for help from her mother in extreme pain.
and she emphasized "Don't call the police" , but Bai Bingbing's social circle was very strong at that time, so after seeing her daughter's letter of help, she immediately sought help from the police.
What made Bai Bingbing regret was that after she called the police, a "rescue operation" involving a large number of media directly led to the death of her daughter Bai Xiaoyan.
What roles do these media play in this incident? Why did the kidnappers kidnapped Bai Bingbing's daughter and brutally killed Bai Xiaoyan, who was only 17 years old?
If you want to figure out the whole story, you have to start with Chen Jinxing , one of the three kidnappers.
. Bai Xiaoyan was kidnapped, Bai Bingbing called the police for help
Chen Jinxing's birth was not glorious. Her mother became pregnant before marriage. Before he was born, his father disappeared without a trace.
After giving birth to Chen Jinxing, his mother married another man and gave birth to four children one after another.
. Chen Jinxing has not liked studying since he was a child and liked to cause trouble, so his stepfather did not have much good looks to him.
Just after finishing elementary school, Chen Jinxing got along with the "problem boy" in society.
Before he turned 13 years old, he was locked up in for stealing things and .
Since then, Chen Jinxing has become a "frequently" of the juvenile management office and prison. Until he was 35 years old, Chen Jinxing spent half of his life in prison .
And during this period, Chen Jinxing met Gao Tianmin and Lin Chunsheng who kidnapped Bai Xiaoyan with him in the future.
After being released from prison, these three people often mingled together to fight and cause trouble, but they also had a short "highlight moment".
When Chen Jinxing was 35 years old, he and Gao Tianmin and Lin Chunsheng made a lot of money by opening a game console room together.
At the same time, he met 21-year-old Zhang Suzhen in a bar and fell in love with her at first sight.
After several months of dating, Chen Jinxing married Zhang Suzhen and gave birth to two sons.
At this time, Chen Jinxing had a good career and a happy family. He should be more proud and proud in life.
But not long after, Chen Jinxing, Gao Tianmin and Lin Chunsheng lost a lot of money because of doing business.
What to do if you don’t have money?
They naturally thought of the "old methods" they used to be.
At first, Chen Jinxing and the others learned on TV that Bai Bingbing is very popular in Taiwan, and even had the title of "Taiwan's Yamaguchi Moe Hye ".
And Bai Xiaoyan followed Bai Bingbing to appear on the TV, so it is not difficult for Chen Jinxing and others to master Bai Xiaoyan's information.
was about 7:00 am on April 14, 1997. Bai Xiaoyan, who went out to school alone, was kidnapped by Chen Jinxing and his gang on the way to school.
In the afternoon of that day, Bai Bingbing received a call from Chen Jinxing and his group and called the police for help after discovering his daughter's letter of help.
But I don’t know which link leaked the news, Taiwanese media learned about Bai Xiaoyan’s disappearance.
That night, the phone at Bai Bingbing's home kept ringing, but it was all harassing calls from the media.
Faced with the media reporters' constant questioning, Bai Bingbing begged on the phone not to report it.
But the news that "the daughter of the star was kidnapped" is really too tempting for the reporters.
2. The media contributed to the fire. 17-year-old Bai Xiaoyan was unfortunately killed
The next day, two newspapers took the lead in reporting on Bai Xiaoyan's kidnap. Then a large number of reporters were stationed near Bai Bingbing's house, reporting on the development of the situation 24 hours a day.
On the evening of April 15, Chen Jinxing and his group of made the second call to Bai Bingbing. The content of the call was very simple, and they urged Bai Bingbing to prepare a ransom of 5 million US dollars as soon as possible.
After learning that his daughter's life was still alive, Bai Bingbing raised money everywhere and finally raised $5 million for the non-renewal account on April 17.
Accompanied by the police, on 4 April 17, Bai Bingbing went out to deliver the redemption.
But as soon as her car drove out of the house, many media outlets followed broadcast car .
Seeing this scene, Chen Jinxing and his group naturally would not show up.
The police were angry but got out of the car and advised the reporters to leave first and not affect Bai Xiaoyan's safety.
But the reporters shouted "You don't retreat, we won't retreat!"
In the next two days, Chen Jinxing and his group changed the location of the ransom seven times, but each time there were multiple live broadcast cars following Bai Bingbing's car live broadcast, so Chen Jinxing and his group did not appear as agreed at the location once.
Sure enough, this "national rescue" method angered Chen Jinxing and his group. They called again and asked Bai Bingbing to move out of her residence and go to pay the ransom alone.
But at this time Bai Bingbing was staring at by countless flash lights, and she couldn't "low-key" at all. In the few days after
, Chen Jinxing and his group had no news, and Bai Bingbing spent the difficult days and nights in fear and fear.
On April 23, Bai Bingbing finally waited for the call from Chen Jinxing and his group again, but because of the media's "participation", the final camp plan failed again.
Bai Bingbing, who had no way to avoid the media, could only hold a press conference on 4 on the morning of 4.
At the press conference, Bai Bingbing cried in a nearly begging tone and said , "Please help me, save Bai Xiaoyan, don't report it anymore. We are just orphans and widows, so we can't bully us like this."
Bai Bingbing's request did not receive a kind response from reporters. On the contrary, all media have reported in detail all the situations since Bai Xiaoyan disappeared in a large number of space.
On April 27, the police finally determined that the three who kidnapped Bai Xiaoyan were Chen Jinxing, Lin Chunsheng and Gao Tianmin.
Then, the police used a family offensive to try to let Chen Jinxing and others release them as soon as possible.
But it's too late.
On April 28, the police received clues from the public that Bai Xiaoyan floating on the water was found in a ditch in Zhonggang, Taishan Township, Taipei County.
After Bai Bingbing confirmed that this is her 17-year-old daughter Bai Xiaoyan.
What makes people even more unbearable is that when Bai Xiaoyan was thrown into the river, she wrapped her iron hammer weighing hundreds of pounds on her body, and she just used iron wire to wrap her around her little finger with just a few circles.
Perhaps Bai Xiaoyan silently "callied for help", and she finally floated to the surface, letting everyone know where she "disappeared".
According to the forensic doctor's report, Bai Xiaoyan may have been violated during her lifetime, and there were many blood stasis in her body, and she should have been beaten all over her body.
and her stomach were empty. From this we can judge that Bai Xiaoyan had never eaten anything in the days before her death.
In addition, Bai Xiaoyan died about 4/18 , which is the day when Chen Jinxing and his group urged the ransom.
later confirmed that Chen Jinxing and his group chose to tear up their votes because they were dissatisfied with Bai Bingbing's call and the media reported the whole process.
Looking at her daughter's miserable condition, Bai Bingbing could no longer shed any tears because her heart was dead. She said "happily" "It's better to leave, she will be more painful to live."
. The bad guy gets the punishment. Bai Bingbing failed to seek a child 16 times
Bai Xiaoyan's murder caused a huge storm in Taiwan. Half a year later, Gao Tianmin and Lin Chunsheng committed suicide.
In October 1999, 41-year-old Chen Jinxing was executed, and Bai Xiaoyan's affairs came to an end. After
, Chen Jinxing's wife became popular, and her two sons were adopted by an American couple because of discrimination.
After all the bad guys received the punishment they deserve, Bai Bingbing, who lost her daughter, was unable to get out of the pain of losing her daughter.
She locked herself in the house, no one saw her, no food or drink, just stared blankly at the items she had before her death and she cried again and again.
In order to "goodbye" her daughter, Bai Bingbing listened to the tricks of the scammers in the world. Of course, she couldn't see her in the end, and she was cheated of a huge sum of money.
Bai Bingbing's parents could not stand the blow of the murder of their granddaughter. In the years after Bai Xiaoyan left, the two old men also passed away one after another.
The originally lively family suddenly only left Bai Bingbing.
The huge house is full of happy memories of the family, but now, no one is with Bai Bingbing.
Later, Bai Bingbing went to the United States alone to seek a child. For five years, she tried 16 IVF times, and finally got her until there was no place in her body that she could get her.
Doctor had to comfort her "Give up, if you go on, you will be in danger of your life."
At this time, 49-year-old Bai Bingbing gave up the idea of asking for a child in despair. In the days after
, Bai Bingbing established the "Bai Xiaoyan Foundation", and she treated all the children in need as her own children to take care of.
She wrote the song "Yan Zai, you are flying to the door" for her daughter to express her longing for her deceased daughter.
Perhaps time is really the best medicine. After working hard for more than ten years, Bai Bingbing gradually got rid of the pain of losing her daughter.
She locked all her daughter's things into the cabinet, and she told herself that she would save all the things Xiaoyan likes until she passed away.
Every year on his daughter's death day, Bai Bingbing will write a paragraph to express her longing for her daughter.
But some keyboard warriors left vicious comments under Bai Bingbing's article.
Especially in 2020, which is Bai Xiaoyan's 23rd anniversary, a netizen left malicious messages for three consecutive days under Bai Bingbing's article.
There are many vicious attacks like "Like your daughter, die in the water" .
Bai Bingbing, who could not bear it, was emotionally broken because of this matter. In the end, she decided to sue the netizen and ask for some compensation, and she would donate all the compensation to the foundation.
For this kind of sympathetic keyboard warrior, everyone should understand and agree with Bai Bingbing's approach.
Bai Bingbing, now 66 years old, has no other close relatives around her. She built the "Bai Clan Ancestral Hall" around her daughter's cemetery and also selected a cemetery for herself.
She planned to put the tablets of her parents and daughter in first, and after she passed away, she would ask someone to help with her funeral, so she could "reunite" with her daughter and her parents' family.
At the same time, she also wrote a will, and most of her property will be donated to the "Bai Xiaoyan Foundation" and other public welfare groups in the future.
Because my daughter was always keen on doing good deeds during her lifetime, donating her own property to more people in need in the name of her daughter is also the last thing Bai Bingbing did for her daughter.
