After the man with a knife died, Tang Xue was arrested by the public security organs and will await further trial.
Netizens also have their own opinions on this.
So, what is the conflict between Tang Xue and the man holding the knife? What is the final outcome of this incident?
The grudge between the two families
February 8, 2019, Tang Xue took her birthday cake with her sister and classmate Ji Kai to attend a friend's birthday party.
At the party, friends praised Tang Xue’s cake and talked about the past when they were in school.
Tang Xue became happier and happier when she talked with her friends. After that, she went to the street for a barbecue.
Since Tang Xue joined the army, she rarely met her friends, and soon after she retired, she went to Guangzhou to learn cake baking techniques. Now there is a rare opportunity, so they naturally don’t want to miss it.
That's it. Tang Xue, her sister and several friends talked until 11 o'clock in the evening before choosing to go home and made an appointment for the next time to meet.
Several of Tang Xue's friends took a taxi home, and Tang Xue and her sister had to ask Ji Kai, who had not drunk, to send them home because they had drunk some wine.
But on the way back, Ji Kai's car was blocked by a car parked across the road.
Since the roads in the village are very narrow, Ji Kai's car could not pass by, so he honked the horn so that the bridge car parked there could make it.
Ke After Ji Kai pressed the horn a few times, the owner of the car opened the door and walked towards his car.
"Sister, it's Li Dexiang, it looks like he's drinking." Tang Xue's sister glanced through the car window and said to her sister and Ji Kai.
As soon as the words finished, Li Dexiang walked to Ji Kai's car, slapped the car window hard, and kept shouting and scolding.
Tang Xue's family and Li Dexiang's family are distant relatives. According to generation, Li Dexiang has to call Tang Xue's father Tang Jiayong "Big Dad".
Tang Xue saw that Li Dexiang was still holding a bottle of wine in her hand, and guessed that he was probably going out to drink again. She didn't want to get too entangled with him, so she asked Ji Kai to go around other roads.
Ji Kai sent Tang Xue to her alley and drove away.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Kai left, Li Dexiang chased Tang Xue’s doorstep and scolded her, the words were dirty and filthy, and it was simply unpleasant.
Tang Xue didn't want to pay attention to Li Dexiang, the drunkard, so she took out the key and prepared to open the door and go home. But when she put her hand in her pocket, she found that the key was not in her pocket.
Tang Xue searched through her pockets and did not find the key in the bag she carried.
At this moment, several friends who usually play well with Li Dexiang ran over and dragged Li Dexiang away.
"I'm sorry, Tang Xue, don't take this matter to heart, he usually does this."
"Yes, don't take it to heart."
said, and Li Dexiang was stuffed into the car by several of his friends, and then they hurriedly drove away.
Looking at the car driving further and further back, Tang Xue sighed, then called his father Tang Jiayong and told him that he did not bring the key.
After my father learned about it, he rushed back soon.
After returning home, Tang Xue told her father what had just happened.
Tang Jiayong couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. He knew very well who Li Dexiang was. He had been harassed by other girls in the village before.
"A drunk man stopped someone's girl in the middle of the night. This is not a hooligan. What is this? I was stopped by him last year, but after seeing who I am, I immediately woke up. Why can't I wake up when I see the girl with this wine? " Tang Jiayong said angrily.
In Tang Jiayong's view, Li Dexiang deliberately used drunkenness to make excuses for playing hooligans. His daughter had worked as a soldier and had some skills. If other girls encountered this, they would not leave any shadows.
The more I thought about it, Tang Jiayong became more and more angry, and the next day he brought his daughter to Li Dexiang's house, preparing to ask them for an explanation.
Originally, Tang Jiayong wanted Li Dexiang to apologize to his daughter, but the matter was over.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Dexiang not only did not apologize to Tang Xue, but instead accused Tang Xue of a girl who didn't stay at home in the middle of the night and ran around outside all day, making her unpretentious.
When Tang Jiayong heard this, he even started arguing with Li Dexiang and even started fighting.
Tang Xue and the others in the Li family hurriedly stepped forward to stop him when they saw this. During this process, Li Dexiang took advantage of the moment when Tang Jiayong was pulled away and kicked him directly.
When Tang Xue saw her father being beaten, she thought of what happened last night and Li Dexiang's attitude, so she stepped forward and pressed Li Dexiang to the ground and asked him to apologize to himself and his father.
Tang Xue, who was born in the army, pressed Li Dexiang to the ground, making him unable to move, but the other party continued to insult Tang Xue and Tang Jiayong.
Li Dexiang's father Li Zhaoyun saw this and immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxue, this is wrong with our family. Uncle is here to apologize to you. I will bring this bastard to your family to apologize in person. Xiaoxue, listen to uncle, let him go first, okay?"
For the sake of the two families being relatives, Tang Xue lets go of Li Dexiang.
Li Dexiang, who got up from the ground, was still constantly insulting Tang Xue and Tang Jiayong.
Seeing that his son did not repent, Li Zhaoyun slapped him directly and said, "You bastard, shut up!"
Counterattack man with a knife
was slapped by Li Dexiang, covering his face and stunned.
Then, Li Zhaoyun asked his wife to take Li Dexiang back to the house, and he apologized to Tang Xue and Tang Jiayong, and said that he would definitely bring Li Dexiang to the door and apologize in person in the future.
After Tang Xue and Tang Jiayong left, the incident quickly spread in the village, and many people knew about it.
When I waited, Li Zhaoyun dragged Li Dexiang to Tang Xue’s house and apologized for what happened yesterday.
Li Dexiang's wine was sober at this time, but his attitude was exactly the same as yesterday. He felt that he was not wrong and even thought that Tang Xue should apologize to him, after all, she pressed herself to the ground.
Seeing that his son refused to apologize, Li Zhaoyun slapped him hard in the head and whispered, "Boy, don't cause trouble for me, apologize to others as soon as possible."
Li Dexiang was beaten by his father, and his temper suddenly rose. He pointed at Tang Jiayong and said, "Apology? Just rely on you, dreaming about you! Don't want me to apologize in this life. Let me tell you, dares to go against me, believe it or not, I will just use a knife to kill all your family! "
"You bastard! Shut up!" Li Zhaoyun was so angry that he kicked him on his son's body and wanted to pull him away.
But Li Dexiang was unwilling to leave and even wanted to attack Tang Jiayong.
After hearing the sound, the neighbors around him rushed to help, pulled Li Dexiang away, and persuaded him to go home.
Under the persuasion of others, Li Dexiang returned home reluctantly.
However, before leaving, Li Dexiang glared at Tang Jiayong viciously and said, "You wait for me. If you don't kill you, I won't call him Li Dexiang!"
After returning home, Li Zhaoyun locked his son in the room and called several of his friends to sit in the living room, not allowing him to continue to go out and cause trouble.
Li Dexiang, who was dissatisfied, threw things around in the room to vent his anger.
After messing up the room, Li Dexiang felt a little tired and poured himself a glass of water.
After drinking the water, Li Dexiang sat on the bed. The more she thought about it, the more she felt depressed. Not only was she beaten, she was also ridiculed by the whole village.
With a "bang", Li Dexiang still put the cup on the ground, then got up and came to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife on the grounds of eating.
Wait until the early morning of February 9th, Li Dexiang took advantage of his father and everyone else's sleep and sneaked out and came outside Tang Xue's house.
While shouting Tang Xue's name loudly, he used the kitchen knife in his hand to chop the door of Tang Xue's house frantically.
The sound quickly woke the Tang family and the neighbors around him. The neighbors hurriedly went out to check. When they saw Li Dexiang holding a kitchen knife, they were startled and carefully stepped forward to persuade him to put the knife down.
"Isn't this the son of the old Li family? Let's put down the kitchen knife first, and say something well."
"That's, that's, put down the knife first."
Two of the male neighbors stepped forward to snatch his kitchen knife and threw it away while Li Dexiang was not paying attention.
At this time, Tang Xue, who was awakened, rushed out after putting on her clothes. For safety reasons, she also put two fruit knives in her pocket.
After opening the door, Tang Xue was kicked by Li Dexiang outside the door and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing the kitchen knife in Li Dexiang's hand, Tang Xue hurriedly took out the fruit knife from her pocket and shouted to him: "Li Dexiang, I warn you, don't come over!"
But Li Dexiang ignored Tang Xue's warning, but rushed towards Tang Xue directly and wrestled with her.
Although Tang Xue has learned kung fu in the army, she was helpless when facing the crazy Li Dexiang and was punched several times.
At this time, Li Zhaoyun and Li family relatives, who found that their son were missing, also rushed over and pulled away the two who were fighting.
After being pulled apart, Li Dexiang actually broke free again, pounced on Tang Xue again, and knocked off the fruit knife in her hand.
Li Dexiang saw that Tang Xue had no weapons in her hand and became even more crazy. She waved her fists to smash it at Tang Xue's head.
Seeing this, Tang Xue hurriedly avoided and took out another fruit knife in her pocket, trying to scare Li Dexiang away.
But as soon as she took out the fruit knife, Li Dexiang attacked her again. Tang Xue didn't have time to think about it, so she picked up the knife in her hand and stabbed it.
After being stabbed, Li Dexiang was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Zhaoyun hurriedly pulled him away and took him out.
After walking out of Tang Xue’s door, Li Dexiang broke away from his father’s hand and ran towards an alley.
Before he could run a few steps, he fell down straight.
Li Zhaoyun and his relatives hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation. After seeing the wound on Li Dexiang, they hurriedly sent him to the hospital for treatment.
On the other side, Tang Xue was a little at a loss when she looked at the bloody fruit knife on her hand. Until she was helped to sit in the house by her father, she still couldn't recover.
The next morning, several police cars parked outside Tang Xue's house.
"Comrade Police, why do you want to arrest my daughter? Li Dexiang came to cause trouble last night." Tang Jiayong said by the arm of one of the policemen.
"Li Dexiang was sent to the hospital for rescue yesterday, but he was not rescued and died." said the policeman.
Hearing the police, Tang Xue's mother fainted, while Tang Xue was taken away by the police.
On February 25, 2019, Tang Xue was sent to the detention center.
Not long after, the court launched a trial investigation into the case.
This case has caused heated discussions on the Internet after media reports.
Some people think that Tang Xue is self-defense, after all, Li Dexiang is provoking many times. But at the same time, some people think that Tang Xue is overdue.
During the court hearing the case, Tang Xue's family received harassment from many people, and the relationship between the Tang and Li families also became worsened by Li Dexiang's death.
Self-defense or Overdefense
Regarding this case, the most noteworthy thing about is whether Tang Xue's behavior is self-defense.
There are also different voices on the Internet about this.
Some people think that Tang Xue’s behavior is excessive defense. The kitchen knife in Li Dexiang’s hand has been thrown away by others, while Tang Xue took out a knife from her pocket.
If Tang Xue at this time had used the grappling skills she had learned in the army, she could have completely subdued Li Dexiang.
Some people have also given objections to this statement.
Li Dexiang's emotions were almost crazy at that time, not to mention that there were differences in the power between men and women.
Tang Xue also felt emotionally scared when she saw Li Dexiang holding a knife. Although the kitchen knife in Li Dexiang's hand had been taken away by someone at that time, his illegal infringement continued.
Tang Xue holds a knife to protect her own safety and does not constitute excessive defense.
As this incident gradually fermentes on the Internet, the pressure on the procuratorate is getting greater and greater.
After a year of investigation and evidence collection, on December 30, 2019, the court determined that Tang Xue's behavior was self-defense and did not need to bear criminal responsibility. After the announcement of
was released, Tang Xue, who had been detained for 324 days, was released.
After walking out of the detention center, Tang Xue saw her parents and the whole family hugged her head and cried bitterly.
, and Li Zhaoyun also chose to accept the court's judgment and did not appeal again. is just that the relationship between the two families can never return to the past.
On July 20, 2020, the Yongsheng County Procuratorate compensated Tang Xue 180,000 yuan, and the procurator of the court came to Tang Xue personally to express his apology.
This incident was an unfortunate thing for both Tang Xue and Li Dexiang.
Tang Xue broke up with her boyfriend who was originally engaged in marriage because of this, and Li Dexiang lost her life.
If Li Dexiang could drink in moderation and control his emotions, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened.
