Xiaoguang (pseudonym), a 13-year-old junior high school student in Handan City, Hebei Province, China, was bullied and killed by three classmates. His face was smashed. An autopsy conducted by relevant departments at the funeral home on March 18 found that Xiaoguang was covered in bruises. , some wounds were even as long as 7 or 8 centimeters. What’s even more disgusting is that the murderer had dug holes beforehand, and the police determined it to be a “premeditated” crime. During the nearly four-hour autopsy, Xiaoguang’s father endured his grief and participated in the autopsy process in order to understand the truth. Then in the early morning of the 19th, he posted a message, “Good boy, wait for your father to avenge you.” This attracted great attention from the society.

According to local media reports, Xiaoguang was bullied by three classmates for a long time. He was killed and buried by three classmates on the 10th of this month. His body was found in a vegetable greenhouse in Zhangzhuang Village, Beigao Town the next day. Guang’s body was completely disfigured by shovels, his face was smashed, and his body was covered in bruises, some of which were as long as 7 or 8 centimeters.

Zang Fanqing, the attorney entrusted by the family, revealed to the media that he accompanied Xiaoguang’s father at the funeral home in the early morning of the 18th to witness the autopsy process, which started at 0:15 and ended around 3:45: “The father of the child was involved in this matter. He acted very strong, but he was actually in pain inside, and I could feel that he was suffering a lot.”

When a reporter asked Xiaoguang’s father why he insisted on watching the autopsy even though he knew he would be heartbroken, he responded this way: “During the autopsy, I was there the whole time. I gritted my teeth and watched it from beginning to end. I was not willing to give in. I want to find out how such a good child like me died.” He told reporters: “I got the answer.” When the reporter asked Xiaoguang’s father what the answer was, Xiaoguang’s father did not answer directly. He only said, “This has to wait for the autopsy report to be identified,” and then stopped responding.

After the incident, the case was jointly investigated by the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Handan City Public Security Bureau and the Feixiang District Public Security Bureau. On the 11th, the three junior high school students who committed the violence were arrested on the charge of “intentional homicide.” Although regarding the sentence in this case, Chinese netizens almost unanimously believe that it should be severely punished and even sentenced to death. However, according to the lawyer, “it is impossible to impose the death penalty in this case.” Because China’s criminal law clearly stipulates that when criminally responsible, those under the age of 18 should be given a lighter or reduced punishment, and those under the age of 18 at the time of the crime shall not be subject to the death penalty.

On the night of the autopsy, Xiaoguang’s father posted on the Internet, “Good boy, wait for your father to avenge you.” This attracted great attention from the society. Some people judge that Xiaoguang’s father is waiting for the final outcome of the judiciary: “If the judiciary cannot give him an explanation, I’m afraid he will have to ask for an explanation himself.”
