May 26, 1993 was a nightmare day for all passengers taking the K3/4 train.
When this train between China and Russia left the Chinese border, because the Chinese police on the train got off the train in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, they became a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of the robbery gang.
K3/4 train
When the train entered Mongolia, a group of gangsters immediately came on board. They robbed one carriage after another... Since communication technology was not yet developed at the time, they did not know what was going on between the carriages.
They took away all the property they saw, but even so they were not satisfied. When they saw a beautiful Chinese woman on the train, they brutally took her to the toilet and raped her...
After the gangsters robbed most of the property, they left with satisfaction.
As the train got further and further away from China, another group of gangsters came up. They repeated the same behavior as the previous gangsters, and threatened the people in the car not to call the police... When they encountered passengers who resisted, they beat them brutally.
While this group of gangsters were still looting, another group of people came up. They ignored each other and continued to inhumanely abuse the passengers in the car.

Four passengers could not stand being treated like this and jumped out of the train when it was moving slowly. The vicious gangster actually pulled the emergency brake of the train, chased the people who jumped off the train, and stabbed them after catching up.
This heinous robbery was truly over when the Russian police arrived after receiving reports from local people. The robbers had already fled.
After vigorous pursuit by the Chinese and Russian police, most of the gangsters have been captured, but there are still a few who are still rampant outside the law.
But Tianwang is still there, sparse but not missing.
The main criminal Shao Xun was captured by the police after being wanted for eighteen years.
In court, he confessed to his crime. So how was Shao Xun led to this road of no return? What kind of life did he lead during the eighteen years on the run?
went to Russia and fell into a trap
Shao Xun was born in
His parents are ordinary citizens. Although they do not suffer from hunger, they are not wealthy.
After the reform and opening up, Shanghai, as an important port, ushered in rapid development. After the vigorous development of , Shanghai attracted countless businessmen to join, and everyone wanted to use this shareholder style to achieve economic turnaround.

When Shao Xun was a child, he often saw businessmen coming and going on the street. Some of them have made a fortune by selling small commodities, while others have become bigger and stronger through other industries.
Shao Xun has been full of curiosity about business since he was a child. In his opinion, it was amazing that businessmen could make huge amounts of money through some method that he could not understand at the time!
K3/4 trains were established in the 1960s. It runs between Beijing and Moscow. Initially, this train was set up for officials and dignitaries between the two countries, and was called the "Mysterious Eastern Train."
But later the relationship between the two countries deteriorated for a time, and the trains were temporarily suspended.
coincided with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s and the normalization of relations between China and Russia. The K3/4 train has reopened. The normalization of relations has brought about an increase in trade between the two countries. Due to the imbalance in the development of light and heavy industries, Russia has a very strong demand for light industrial products exported from China.
At this time, a group of businessmen saw this business opportunity. They buy light industrial goods from home at low prices and go to Russia to sell them at high prices. Take advantage of this huge economic gap and make a lot of money.
People jokingly call them "traitors" for reselling goods from both countries.
"The Bad Guy"
Shao Xun originally wanted to get ahead through studying, but he really had no talent in learning.In addition, supporting a student at that time was a heavy burden for a family, so he had no choice but to give up his studies after graduating from junior high school.
happened to hit the wave of Sino-Russian trade. With the help of his family, Shao Xun bought a batch of cheap down jackets locally and planned to sell them in Russia.
Shao Xun, who traveled far away for the first time, was full of curiosity about the things around him.
Having only lived in Shanghai since he was a child, he had never seen such distant scenery. On the K4/3 train, he saw herds of cattle and sheep in Mongolia. I also saw the Weiwei snow scene in Heilongjiang. All this is very novel, especially after arriving in Russia. The architecture, scenery and climate are completely different from Shanghai.
At first he was full of confidence. There are good goods and he has all the skills. Are you still worried about not being able to sell the clothes?
But often the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

After arriving in the local area, the most difficult thing is the language barrier. Although there are locals who want to buy his down jacket, neither of them can speak each other's language, just like a chicken talking to a duck.
The next one is about the system of doing business. Shao Xun thought everything was too simple. He had never been exposed to the local business system before coming here.
Seeing that none of his goods could be sold, Shao Xun became anxious.
At this time, there was a "traitor" Xu Gang who came from Beijing.
When Xu Gang heard about Shao Xun's situation, without saying a word, he immediately took him to sell goods on the street and gave him some business methods.
Shao Xun thought he had met the noble person in his life, but he didn't know that this was the beginning of his lifelong nightmare.

Shao Xun followed the method Xu Gang gave him and quickly sold out all his down jackets.
Shao Xun was very happy looking at the pile of money.
Xu Gang also invited him to his home for a drink at this time. Taking advantage of the drunkenness and the joy of making money, Shao Xun immediately recognized Xu Gang as his eldest brother.
Brother Xu was naturally very loyal and promised to make little brother Shao rich. Not only that, Xu Gang also helped Shao Xun buy a ticket to return to China. After returned home, his family was naturally very happy to see that Shao Xun had made a lot of money.
Shao Xun's face and vanity were greatly satisfied.
Not long after, Shao Xun planned to go to Russia to make a fortune. Friends in Shaoxing heard that Shao Xun had made a fortune and came to visit him one after another. Shao Xun also promised to take them to Russia to make money together.
After returning to Russia, the first thing he did was of course visit his good brother Xu Gang.

But not long after arriving at Xu Gang's residence, in the middle of the night, a group of gangsters suddenly broke into the door. Although there is a language barrier, the actions of gangsters all over the world are the same. Several people quickly took control of Shao Xun and Xu Gang with knives and began to rob the house.
Shao Xun watched helplessly as all the things he brought back to China were robbed. After robbing all the money and valuables, the gangsters left.
This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that Shao Xun’s passport no longer has .
At this time, Xu Gang slowly lit a cigarette and said: "Don't worry, I have an acquaintance here who can help you get it out."
The next day, Xu Gang went out early in the morning, and Shao Xun was there In Xu Gang's house, he waited and waited anxiously. Finally, after his anxious waiting, Xu Gang came back.
Xu Gang started to show off his superb acting skills. He looked embarrassed and said that the matter was very difficult to handle.
Naturally, Shao Xun asked: "What should we do?"
Xu Gang said: If you want to get your passport back, you must assist the robbers in robbing with their accomplices.
passport
Shao Xun is totally unacceptable. No matter how much he wants to get rich, he still hopes that he can do serious business. Burning, killing and looting were still too far away from a common man like him.
Seeing Shao Xun's troubled expression, Xu Gang looked hesitant, but he had already made a plan in his heart: "Didn't you come with four friends? I will give you some people by then, and you can go grab them." "
"How can this be done?"
Xu Gang further intensified his attack on Shao Xun's psychological defense: "If you go to steal money, at best you will break the relationship with your friend, but since I am going to help you ask "If you don't help me, the sky is high and the road is far away. Maybe your life will be decided here."
Shao Xun thought about it and decided to run away in advance. He found a friend to give him travel expenses. But when he carried out these actions, he was completely unprepared for his good big brother.
It was another dark night, and several people broke into the house. They directly put a knife to Shao Xun's neck and said to him viciously: "Hurry up and tell me where your friend lives."

At this time, Brother Xu did not hide at all that he had ulterior motives in approaching him in the first place. , he advised Shao Xun to surrender quickly. Later, Shao Xun learned that Xu Gang was addicted to drugs. Later, he joined this criminal gang when he could not pay off his debts.
He is usually responsible for fishing in this gang, and he specializes in watching young people who have just arrived in China. Shao Xun was both greedy for money and timid, but also valued loyalty, so he was certainly regarded as a "material that could be made."
At the moment of your own life, no matter how deep and deep the friendship is, it can be easily crushed.
In desperation, Shao Xun gave up his friend's residence. Not to mention that, a group of people came and forced Shao Xun to sign and sign.
At this point, Shao Xun embarked on a criminal path of no return.
The point of no return for crime
Arriving at a friend's house, a group of people pushed Shao Xun to open the door. When the friend saw that it was Shao Xun coming, he opened the door enthusiastically without doubting his presence. After opening the door, Shao Xun and his friends were quickly pushed down. In a daze, he saw the way his friend looked at him, a look that made him heartbroken throughout his life.

He wanted to desperately get out of this quagmire, but he was already trapped in it.
Shao Xun's first robbery experience was really not that good. In this gang, Shao Xun mainly did "diandao" .
The so-called "diandao" is to use Shao Xun's Shanghai dialect to knock on the door of a Chinese businessman living in Russia. When they lowered their guard and opened the door, the gang behind them broke in and committed robbery.
Because the criminal gangs active in Russia at that time all had a Beijing accent, and Chinese businessmen in other places liked to listen to the Chinese dialect they were familiar with. After hearing Shao Xun’s Shanghai accent, they often lower their guard and open the door.
With Shao Xun's Shanghai dialect, they quickly robbed many businessmen.
But when you first start doing it, it will be very easy. After a long time, we all know that there is such a person with a Shanghai accent who will not open the door to anyone. Not long after
, they discovered this K3/4 train .
K3/4 train
How much money can I rob if I go to a Chinese businessman’s house on weekdays?
There are many businessmen coming and going on this international train, and they will bring a large amount of goods.
Moreover, the police on the train will get off the train when it leaves the Chinese border. When it enters Russia from the Chinese border, there are no Russian police to protect it, giving them a great opportunity to take advantage of it.
Maybe they can catch a big fat sheep and they can make a lot of money.
May 26, 1993, became a nightmare day for all passengers on the K3/4 train.
The gangsters armed with guns and knives started from the first train and ransacked every carriage. Not only that, when they saw a pretty female passenger in the car, they would rape her.

The first group of gangsters went down, but they didn’t expect that another group came up right after.
Because they couldn't grab more money, they became more violent than the first batch.
They even took off the passengers' clothes to check whether they had hidden money in a private place.
The second group of gangsters hadn’t gotten off the bus yet, and then the third group came up.
Although it had already entered Russia at this time, the police still did not know about the atrocities committed by the gangsters in the car. What's worse is that because the communication equipment at that time was not developed, the passengers in the car knew nothing about what happened to the passengers in other cars.
At this time, four passengers chose to jump out of the car and escape. The gangster pulled the emergency brake and chased the four passengers.
They slashed three of them and wounded one of them with sticks.
The police arrived later, but the gangster had already escaped.

The journey of escape
Shao Xun felt very guilty after experiencing such a tragedy. But he didn't want to surrender and spend the rest of his life in prison.
The first stop of his escape was to a temple in Anhui, where he begged the abbot to take him in as a monk.
The abbot took him in because he was pious.
Shao Xun eats and worships Buddha in the temple every day, but this still cannot calm his restless mind.
A month later, the abbot said to him: "Your bond with the world has not been severed yet, so it is better to go back."
After leaving the temple, Shao Xun went to Hong Kong. At first, he did odd jobs for relatives in Hong Kong, but later he discovered through his contacts with Hong Kong people that KTV was a very profitable place.

He changed his name to Lin Yonghai, gave himself a new identity, and hoped to start a new life. Because KTV was an active venue in Hong Kong at that time, no one in the mainland set this precedent.
He went to Shenzhen and opened a KTV. Sure enough, the KTV business was booming and Shao Xun made a lot of money. Shao Xun immediately took the money to open a restaurant and beauty salon . Because these two concepts were relatively advanced for the mainland at the time, he quickly made more money.
After making money, Shao Xun brought his parents to live in Shenzhen and bought a villa for them.
Money is not as attractive to Shao Xun as it was before he went to Russia. At that time, Shao Xun thought money was a good thing, but now it seems that Shao Xun only wants inner stability and peace.
After his career was successful, Shao Xun's family also became happy. In order to gain inner peace, he often asked a girl to donate to various charities in the girl's name.
Shao Xun
Over time, the girl developed a secret affection for this man who did good deeds without leaving his name. The girl didn't know Shao Xun's past, and the two of them lived a happy life after marriage.
Shao Xun continued his charity work after marriage. During the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Shao Xun donated millions.
Without the stain of his past as a robbery gang, Shao Xun's life could be described as complete.
but there is no if.
He hoped that he was not the Shao Xun who burned, killed and looted, but was just a kind-hearted entrepreneur Lin Yonghai. After all, the paper could not stop the fire. After Shao Xun's father died, his mother went to apply for a death certificate for his father. The police who had been following Shao Xun's movements discovered that the address filled in by his mother was the address of the villa that Shao Xun bought for them.
Shao Xun was arrested
They guessed that Shao Xun must be nearby.
After staying at Shao Xun's parents' villa for several days in a row, as expected, they discovered his presence.
In 2010, Shao Xun was captured and brought to justice after eighteen years on the run.
When he was arrested, Shao Xun did not run away in panic, but was very calm. After being captured, he also confessed to what he had done.
In 2012, Shao Xun’s case officially opened in Beijing. Because he was enthusiastic about charity while on the run and had not done anything bad, the court sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Shao Xun
After learning this result, Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he truly escape the inner condemnation and gain inner peace.
A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. Although Shao Xun was coerced by the gang, it is undeniable that he did many bad things.
Although he wants to wash away his sins by doing charity, good and evil cannot offset each other after all.
As long as a person lives, there are always some bottom lines that must be adhered to.
