Chapter 533 Everyone is equal before the law
From 1980 to 1982, in just three years, more than 80 cases were filed each year, including more than 6 major criminal cases, and the number was increasing year by year. Hooligan crimes and vicious murders occurred in various places.
Some people were released soon after committing minor offenses, and then committed crimes repeatedly, provoking the police and leaving them helpless.
Faced with the severe public security situation, in 1983, the central government decided to strike hard and launched a three-year campaign of "severely cracking down on criminal offenses."
As the saying goes: To govern a chaotic world, severe punishments must be used. The central government has decided to divide the "severe crackdown" into three phases over three years, to be carried out collaboratively by the public security, procuratorate and courts, and to deal with criminal cases severely and quickly.
No matter how deep the criminals are, we will fight them to the end. No one who ignores the dignity of the country's laws will be able to escape.
Those who may or may not be arrested must be arrested resolutely; those who may or may not be sentenced must be sentenced resolutely; those who may or may not be killed must be killed resolutely.
In accordance with this principle, the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs handled the cases they filed severely and quickly in accordance with the law. Various places held large-scale sentencing meetings one after another. Lawbreakers who seriously threatened local public security were severely punished, their urban household registration was cancelled, and they were escorted to other places for reform. Some of the main culprits were shot.
After being interrogated and publicly sentenced to death, the prisoners must be paraded through the streets before being taken to the execution ground for execution. Police cars with sirens blaring lead the way, followed closely by large trucks, each with a prisoner to be executed. The prisoners are tied up with wooden signs on their chests with their names, genders, ages, and crimes written on them. There is also a black "x" drawn above their names. Due to the impending death and the shame of being paraded through the streets, they all look pale. The execution vehicles broadcast along the way, promoting the "severe crackdown" struggle and accusing the prisoners of their crimes.
The streets and alleys they passed by attracted countless people to watch, and public security personnel were on the side to maintain order and direct traffic.
Wanted posters and sentencing notices are often posted in the streets and alleys of residential areas.
On these notices, a thick red line would be drawn under the names of the executed prisoners, and at the end, a striking red “√” would be placed above the words “This notice, Dean XX” as a stern warning. Real-life photos of the trials of prisoners, parades through the streets, and executions would also be posted on campus.
The original intention of posting these photos, like parading in public, is to educate the public to abide by the law, hoping that the flowers of the motherland will witness the cruel execution scenes from an early age and will not repeat the same mistakes when they grow up...
Zhou Jifan, Zhong Qiaoen, Chen Jinyu and others feel scared every time they see such photos, but once they hear the news that someone is going to be executed, they can't help but go to the streets to watch the excitement.
Whenever the children wanted to see something, Zhou Rong would take them there. Once he even took them to the execution scene so that they could respect life and the law.
The bloody death penalty scene made Zhou Jifan and his friends behave themselves for a while. They stopped fighting and quarreling, and even stopped skating, because some skating rinks in the city were closed down and the owners were arrested and sentenced. They were worried that they would be arrested too...
The son of an officer molested several lesbians in the name of love and was sentenced to death after being reported.
The onlookers talked about his story with great relish, saying that he deserved it and that people like him should have been arrested long ago, but because of his parents' power, he was only caught now. Everyone praised the "severe crackdown" policy.
Zhou Jifan squeezed into the crowd and whispered to Zhou Rong: "Grandma, I heard from my classmates that the children of cadres have privileges. Why didn't his father save him?"
Zhou Rong: "Everyone is equal before the law. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Their parents used their blood, tears and lives to build the country, but they betrayed their parents, insulted their family traditions, and violated the dignity of the country's laws. Their parents understand the righteousness of the matter and will not cover up for them.
You must obey the law in the future. If you do anything illegal, your parents and I will put justice above our own and make you accept the punishment of the law."
Zhou Jifan: "Don't worry, grandma. I won't do anything bad. I don't want to have more holes on my body."
Zhou Rong: "Grandma believes in you."
Near Chen Mansion, there is a small open space. Two steelmaking furnaces were built there during the Great Steelmaking Period. After the steelmaking period ended, the place was abandoned.
In the past one or two years, there were often hooligans who were fighting each other there. Zhou Rong and his friends lived in Chen Mansion, and they could always hear bursts of shouting and killing in the middle of the night, as well as the screams of people being stabbed, shot, or hit by bricks.
The residents nearby were so frightened that they dared not go out at night.
After the "crackdown" began, the streets were full of police patrolling on sidecars. Coupled with the shocking execution scenes, the gangsters were afraid of being caught and hid themselves. Zhou Rong and his friends could sleep peacefully... Britain was unwilling to return Hong Kong and wanted to maintain the status quo and extend the concession period. The head of state disagreed and the negotiations between the two countries did not go smoothly.
Due to concerns about Hong Kong's future, a large amount of capital left Hong Kong. In addition, since 1977, excessive growth of currency and credit has led to a widening trade deficit, inflation, and a continued decline in the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.
Some speculative activities have led to a rare rush to buy goods in Hong Kong, further exacerbating the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar.
September 1983, 9 was Hong Kong’s “Black Saturday”.
Due to the sharp depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, citizens rushed to buy items.
23日，香江出现港元抛售风潮，美元兑港元的汇率从1：8.12猛涨至1：9.7，个别银行一度叫价至1：10。
The Hang Seng Index fell to 700 points, gold prices soared, and financial markets were in chaos.
Zhou Rong sold all of his stocks at the beginning of 83, and had an additional 2000 million US dollars in his stock account.
On September 9, Zhou Rong drove a motorhome to Hong Kong and exchanged 23 million US dollars for 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.
She originally wanted to exchange more, but there were many people who believed like her that the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar would fall. Everyone took this opportunity to "make a profit from the price difference", resulting in the bank not having so much cash to exchange.
Many people were worried that there would be a war in Hong Kong, so they sold their houses and left with the money. House prices in Hong Kong dropped almost to the level they were ten years ago.
Zhou Rong would not miss such a good opportunity to pick up a bargain. She entrusted an agent to help her buy a house, an office building and a factory. As long as the ownership was clear and the transfer could be done quickly, she would take them all.
The "big brother" is currently unusable in China. The signal is too poor and it is easy to be exposed. Zhou Rong can only go to Hong Kong every three to five days to trade houses...
When the stock market began to fluctuate after the New Year, Xu Hanhua remembered what Zhou Rong said and sold all his stocks, making tens of millions of dollars.
Xu Hanhua also believed that his motherland could take back Hong Kong, so he took advantage of the financial crisis to exchange 2000 million US dollars in Hong Kong dollars.
When someone was selling a house, Xu Hanhua would buy all of them he could as long as there was no problem with the property rights.
Guo Jialin and her cousin Guo Delin were originally confused about the future of Hong Kong. However, when they saw that Xu Hanhua helped them make a lot of money through the stock market and exchanged a large amount of Hong Kong dollars and bought houses, the two believed in his investment vision and followed suit.
After the financial crisis, their assets increased significantly, and they wanted to worship Xu Hanhua as a god...
