In 2010, a young Chinese man named Yao Jiaxin hit a young woman named Zhang Miao with his car. Noticing her memorizing his license place number and afraid that she would cause him trouble, he took a knife and stabbed her eight times until she died before fleeing. He was later put on trial, convicted, and executed in 2011.

Family of the victim in the Yao Jiaxin Case demands restitution, gets in fight with lawyer of Yao’s father

February 8th after 11am, Xi’an, Yao Jiaxin victim Zhang Miao’s father Zhang Pingxuan, Zhang Miao’s husband Wang Hui, and lawyer Zhang Xian arrived at Yao Jiaxin’s father Yao Qingwei’s home prepared to demand the 200,000 Yao Qingwei previously offered. In 2011, Yao Jiaxin’s father Yao Qingwei’s offer of 200,000 yuan was refused by Zhang Miao’s family. With regards to this, Yao Qingwei said “the 200,000 was borrowed and has already been returned, and since they already refused it, I have no obligation to give it again.” At the scene, Wang Hui and Yao Jiaxin’s father Yao Qingwei’s representative lawyer got into a fight, and were taken away by police.

Soon, Zhang Xian (front), who had previously remarked on weibo that he wanted to come see the face off, also arrived at the residential complex where Yao Qingwei lives.

网易江苏省苏州市网友:

Today I saw on other discussion forums a statement, which I’m reposting here: Finally understand why Yao Jiaxin committed murder at the time, as it is now clear [the victim] was unusually troublesome [demanding and unreasonable, as evidenced by her family].

jakeyhrj [网易四川省成都市网友]:

Wow, first,
I really feel sympathetic with Yao Jiaxin’s father right now.

Zhang Miao’s husband is really inhuman.

巴蜀汉 [网易重庆市网友]:

Totally shameless, they already compensated you guys with a life, and you still come demanding money!

wsfxnzzx [网易宁夏银川市网友]:

Rural people are very troublesome, Eight Stabs [nickname for Yao Jiaxin] was right.

wapty [网易重庆市网友]:

In the face of all this ugliness, I don’t feel like expressing a point of view.

黄石道人 [网易山东省青岛市网友]:

Already demanded a life, now demanding money, that’s just insisting on being shameless!

网易浙江省嘉兴市手机网友:

When someone robs you, they ask, “Do you want your money or your life”. Does the Zhang family not even understand this rule? I can’t watch any further.

网易香港网友:

If someone commits murder, then they must pay with their life, but when that life is given to you, then they have no obligation to give you money, a life for a life.
So you now going to demand money is too shameless.

网易山东省青岛市网友:

The notion of a life for a life needs to be changed. The injury that Yao caused is not as simple as giving a life for a life. This didn’t happen to you, so you will never feel what they feel. If that were the case, then corrupt officials could just give back the money and not have any legal responsibility.

网易江苏省网友 [lhyua8]:

Their son’s life is lost, and you want them to give you money? When they had promised to give money, it was in exchange for their son’s life. Now that their son has been forced to bite the bullet, you want them to give you money?

yishenganyi [网易辽宁省大连市网友]:

They wanted a life and now they want money too. He killed someone, and paid for it with his life, that’s fair. Yao has also served as a warning for everyone. I really don’t know what should be done in the future when encountering this kind of situation.

网易广东省深圳市网友:

Money is truly something people are obsessed with! No matter what, just looking at Zhang Miao’s husband’s big fat waist and Zhang Xian’s mentality of going there to watch the fuss makes me really disgusted!

网易浙江省嘉兴市手机网友:

Yao Eight Stabs, you can rest in peace now. You’ve used your life to prove that [rural people] are troublesome.

网易青海省西宁市网友:

Pay for a life with a life, pay for a debt with money. Yao Jiaxin has already been executed, what else do you want?? When the court was passing judgment, you were so self-righteous. This 200,000 was Yao Jiaxin’s parents trying to use 200,000 to save their son from death. The victim’s family didn’t want the money, only wanted Yao Jiaxin’s life. The rest of us were filled with righteous indignation, so much that the people’s anger would not be appeased if he [Yao Jiaxin] didn’t die. Now that Yao Jiaxin has been taken out and killed, both sides are made equal. So for the Zhangs to now fucking run to the Yao Jiaxin’s parents and cause trouble, they should be stabbed 80 times!! ~~ Create a Yao 80 Stabs! No one will feel sympathy for the Zhang family! You brought it upon yourself, who would care~

纯天然奥特曼 [网易广东省广州市网友]:

Looking at the comments, Chinese people are truly sad. The attitude towards Yao Jiaxin back then, and the attitude now. Haha…

无所谓111 [网易上海市闵行区网友]:

An unspeakably greedy rural person, coupled with a lawyer made famous by causing rumors, have shown me once again human nature’s ugliness, dirty to the extreme.

网易广东省东莞市网友 [dersary]:

According to the country’s laws, the victims family of course have the right to demand civil compensation/restitution! Criminal murder and civil compensation do not conflict with each other, nor is there such a thing where one can pay money to purchase a life!

lxg84726 [网易重庆市网友]:

Since the Zhang family has already rejected Yao Jiaxin’s father’s 200,000 in restitution, this is an act of relinquishing one’s interest, which has the force of law, therefore you have no grounds for again demanding this money afterward — You can’t go back on this as it is against both reason and law. Here I ant to remind the Zhang family — Watch your behavior, don’t let the world’s people go from sympathizing with you to despising you.

What do you think?
