Someone counted that in just 68 seconds, the woman was boxed 19 times and kicked 10 times, of which 26 times hit the head, which was heartbreaking. The video
also started a drama of "the whole nation is unrest and the whole network is slapping murderers" in the past 24 hours.

The entire network
Because the scene of the incident was unclear, the angry netizens quickly staged a series of murderers, with only one goal: find out the scene of the incident and severely punish the man who beat him.
can be seen through relevant search tools that with the keyword "a man beats a girl in the street" as the keyword, the popularity of the Internet began to ferment at around 7 a.m. on the 25th, and reached the peak of heat around 15 p.m., and has remained "high heat".
As of 24:00 on the 25th, #man beat girls in the street #ranked the first hot search on Weibo, with 1.3 billion searches. #The man beat the girl was confirmed to be the second place in Dalian#, and the number of searches reached 350 million times.
In addition, among all the information related to "a man beats a girl in the street", the words mentioned most frequently are "man", "girl" and "find out", and the meaning is naturally clear - "find out the man who beats a girl".
The actions of netizens also received responses from the police throughout the whole period and simultaneously.
First at 21:47 on the 24th, the official microblog of the Cyber Security Security Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau of Mianyang "@Mianyang Internet Police Patrol and Law Enforcement" issued a message saying that it was looking for the location of the incident; "I won't sleep tonight. If there are any clues, please post them in this Weibo comment area."
Later, after preliminary verification by Mianyang Internet Police, there was no sign that the site of the incident was in Mianyang. Since then, netizens have successively targeted Liaocheng, Shandong, Tangshan, Shanxi Yangquan, Guangdong, Yangjiang, Meizhou, and Putian, Fujian.
At 9:53 on the 25th, the official Weibo of the Ministry of Public Security News Center "@China Police Online" spoke out, calling on the power of netizens to jointly find out this person.
The real turning point of the incident occurred at 11:30. Weibo user "Zhao Xiaotaiyang" released a message saying that his store was near the scene of the incident and had reported to the police and filed a case.
15:20, the Dalian Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a police report saying that the video of "a woman was beaten in the middle of the night" was recently rumored online, which was a police incident that occurred within the jurisdiction of the Huadong Road Police Station of the city's Ganjingzi Public Security Bureau; at around 22:00, the man who beat someone, Wang, was arrested; in the early morning, the Dalian Municipal Public Security Bureau made a formal notice and the scene of the murder was over.

Justice
From fermentation to arrest, in less than a day, the police and the public worked together to lock in the suspect.
If "catching bad people" is the responsibility of the police, then the participation of netizens in this operation interprets the simple and righteous feeling that the people generally have, and cannot be simply understood as the "keyboard warrior"'s avenge.
Justice has never been an abstract word.
Justice has different concrete manifestations in different fields such as politics, economy, society, and ethics. This sense of justice active on the Internet has sprouted since NATO bombed the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in 1999. Such emotions may be regarded as a collision between the sense of national responsibility shaped by China's traditional concept of family and country and the freedom and convenience of expression after the rise of the Internet.
In this case, as well as the recent Xinhuang Playground corpse burial case and Kunming Sun Xiaoguo case, the demands of the majority of netizens are very direct, which is to severely punish the murderer.
This is actually a pursuit that will last forever. The Book of Changes says: "A gentleman should suppress evil and promote good, and follow the heaven and avoid fate." A gentleman takes the world as his responsibility, so a gentleman should follow the spirit of the sun shining on all things, stop evil and promote good, follow the heavenly way, and maintain social harmony and stability.
Good and evil are two social phenomena that are opposite to each other in the human world and will exist in any country in contemporary times. Whether to curb evil and promote good or curb good or promote evil, in a big way, is the standard for judging a country's value orientation; as small as individuals, it is a choice that every member of society must face.
Social combustion theory believes that as long as there is a "resentment" in society, once a "fuse" event is encountered, it is easy to stimulate the cluster effect. On the other hand, the participation and indignation of the whole people caused by recent incidents is actually the journey of governing the country according to law. The majority of netizens are still dissatisfied with the basic demands of fairness and justice.
Full in broad daylight, the world is bright, why can't you do anything evil?

action
People have some calls and governments have some responses.
Chen Yixin, Secretary-General of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, said bluntly that in order to enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness and security, it must "start from the things that the people hate, resent and annoyed."
Obviously, beating innocent girls late at night not only makes people hate the most, resent and annoyed, but also puts a shadow on the viewer's own safety. "What if I meet the bad guy, what will happen to me?"
What's more, shortly after the police went to the store where the "beating" video retrieved the surveillance video, the owner removed the camera on his own on the grounds of "not wanting to cause trouble". Where does the fear come from?
In this sense, the current anti-gang and evil campaign is a political response nationwide, with the goal of digging deep and eradicating all evil with the momentum of thunder.
After the Sun Xiaoguo case in Kunming, the "Hubei version of Sun Xiaoguo" and "Shaanxi version of Sun Xiaoguo" have been investigated one after another. They have the same background in gangs, the same identity has been bleached, the same suspected murder case has not received the legal punishment it deserves for more than ten years.
Incredible cases have deconstructed our confidence in the rule of law one by one and subverted our understanding of justice. How to regain the lost trust "mountain" is not only a general demand of the whole society, but also the logical foundation of this round of decision-making and deployment of anti-gangs and evil -
allows every evil person to get the evil rewards that deserve, allows every victim to receive a fair and just response, and allows every bystander to establish confidence in the justice of the rule of law.
To put it bluntly, only by punishing evil can we promote good. If we do not punish evil, we cannot promote good.
Then return to the incident where a man beats a girl in the street. Without love, you at least have kindness; without kindness, at least have bottom line. How deep hatred is there for continuous critical strikes in the street? How cruel is it to be able to take such a heavy hand?
Remedy the root cause
After initial investigation, the suspect Wang was emotionally fluctuated due to emotional disputes with his girlfriend. After drinking, he met the victim Wu on the road in the early morning of the 22nd, and used violence against him and forced molestation. At present, the suspect Wang confessed to his criminal facts; after identification, the overall injury of the woman who was beaten was contusion of facial soft tissue and is cooperating with the police to investigate.
Some people say that after the "high fever", this is just an ordinary case; but what is terrifying is that it is a real "incremental" case. Emotional disputes, emotional fluctuations, and tantrums after drinking are not reasons. In the massive anti-gang and evil campaign, the key point is that many people still dare to try their own laws.
, for forced molestation that can be conclusively considered "criminal crime", the response speed of the Dalian police is indeed different from the official effect that everyone expects - when citizens are violated in the street, as the defenders of social order, how to tighten the string of responsibility at the first time, seek truth from facts, and promptly resolve it, rather than let formalism and bureaucracy take the upper hand, is the key that must not be vaguely introduced in the work of cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil in various places.
The national special campaign to combat organized crime and eliminate evil began in January 2018 and ended at the end of 2020 for a period of three years. Among them, the key task in 2018 is "strict situation" to create an atmosphere where everyone shouts for sweeping; the key task in 2019 is "attacking cases", digging deeper and bottoming out the solved cases one by one.
Sun Xiaoguo case and playground corpse burial case are such problems of attacking the "stock". The hidden survival of the criminal forces, complex mutations, political backing and protection umbrellas, sinking and infiltration into rural customs... all kinds of scabies have forced us to sort out and investigate the past, so that the "old diseases" will return to the legal gate - this is an explanation to yesterday.
, and the same waiting and punishment of "increment" is the guarantee today for tomorrow.In the final analysis, justice must retain the absolute power to "eliminate evil affairs" at any moment. If the soil that breeds evil forces is not cleared, the general public will find it difficult to feel at ease, and the sense of happiness can only be said.
At present, the girl who was beaten has been discharged from the hospital; we also believe that the murdered Deng Shiping will eventually be injustice. In the future, the crackdown on gangsters and evil will be advanced in depth, and combating crime and social governance, central deployment and mass line are indispensable.
In this sense, the majority of netizens are naturally an important force, a kind of force like the "Chaoyang masses".
