A hot summer afternoon, the weather is very hot, and the court is holding a trial review of the Juvenile Court judge. The defendant, Bian Liang, had dropped out of school in junior high school and was addicted to online games. He was a young criminal who had been detained and sentenced several times for theft. This time, he was arrested for theft and wanted on the internet for two years.
Me and seven or eight other examiners were sitting in the front row of the auditorium with the evaluation table in their hands, quietly waiting for the court to begin.
The gavel for the start of the court was knocked down, and a bald youth with a face full of childish and skinny bones appeared. Under the lead of two bailiffs, he walked into the court. He was actually bare-chested and directly treated the iconic yellow vest of the detention center as ordinary clothes. A gray shorts fell on his hip, and he dragged a pair of beach shoes on his feet. He glanced at the auditorium and slowly walked into the court without any expression on his face. His expression was so calm that it was hard to believe. It was very different from his age.
Now, the detention center was conducting human management on the prisoners. The defendant will be sent to the court for trial, so he doesn't need to wear the yellow vest of the detention center. He can also not shave his head. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, or maybe it was because the word 'dignity' in his heart meant some vague concept. In the court hearing, He confessed to the crime and asked why he stole it, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Since he couldn't find a job, he had to steal because he was hungry. There was a bit of confidence in his calm expression.
After the trial ended, I was deeply moved. It wasn't the judge's evaluation itself, but this young criminal who had been sentenced several times. His attitude, his ignorance, caused people to think of the current trend of crimes committed by minors, as well as the sudden societal problem of underage crimes and methods.
Why did these children commit crimes again and again? Other than his own reasons, were there any other problems?
The youth was currently in the "reversing period" of growth and development, and his mental development was completely unable to keep up with the speed of his physiological development. Due to his curiosity at a young age, his social experience makes it easier for him to think about problems due to his lack of social experience. If he didn't properly guide them, it would be very easy for them to be affected by the outside world. This led to extreme emotional impulsiveness. There were even some who imitated the fantasy plot of the Xianxia in the game, holding an umbrella and jumping down from a tall building. In the end, they died instantly before they could experience the mystical martial arts that floated in the air. There were also those who imitated the brotherhood of adults and formed a young "hero gang," and "suicide squad, and started to stir up trouble. " Some indulged themselves in the internet cafe and embarked on the path of murder and robbery. . .
At this moment, I occasionally learned that the Supreme People's Court Film and Television Center is gathering a film script that reflects the themes of the court trial from all over the country. However, there are only 22 days left until the deadline of September 30th.
I have developed the idea of using this case as a model to write a movie script in order to make use of it as a catalyst, hoping to let more people think about these social issues.
As a professional judge, he had never written a script before, and the time was tight. Even though he was full of enthusiasm, he felt that it was not enough. However, he was unable to let go of this feeling. After two days of painful thinking, he finally decided. . . So what if he was practicing as a pen with a limited time?
Thus, once every day it was time to get off work, I close the office door and immerse myself in 'Child'. When you're hungry, eat instant noodles when you're hungry. When I was tired, I lay on the chair for a while. How many times have I looked up at the dark sky outside the window, wondering why the child would do this? Where is the source? After 20 days of bitter exploration, I finally completed my composing and posted the script of the movie at the final moment before ending. The moment the mouse clicked on it, I felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
That night, the entire court was silent. Standing on the high steps of the court, I suddenly realized that the two big red lanterns that were celebrating the National Day had a joyous and gentle smile on their faces on the porch. Rows of colorful flags in the courtyard were fluttering gently in the light.
A few months later, the script of the movie actually received an award for excellence. What made me even more excited was that. . . In 2019, under the efforts of the People's Court Film and Television Center, Chang Zhou City, District Public Relations Department, Political Law Committee, the Court, the Justice Bureau, Beijing Haiyan and Qing Film Culture Co. , Ltd, Chang Zhou City Surpassing Film and Television Productions and Productions Ltd, and other departments, as well as the attention of their leaders, The script of this juvenile legal movie was made in the name of Winter Snow Warm Sun.
Just as the movie was being filmed, a 12-13 year old youth murder case occurred all over the country. The 12-year old matrimonial murder case in Hunan. . . He stabbed his mother more than 20 times and caused her to die on the spot. The police asked him why? He actually said, I didn't kill anyone else. I killed my mother. A 12-year-old child was so cruel and numb that it made people speechless. I can't help but recall that in court, there are many teenagers who still think that stealing a few phones and a few bikes isn't a big deal. He even asked the judge, "After I finish speaking, can I go home?" Their childish ignorance caused one to tremble in fear, but at the same time, it also caused one's heart to ache.
Thus, I had the idea of modifying the script of the movie into a novel. Because, now that I've entered the cinema and internet cafe, or turned on my phone and computer, whether it's movies, novels, anime or games, it's rare to see the content of juvenile themes.
When he was writing the novel, he had a new coronary pharyngitis. The outbreak of the epidemic caused the number of infected people around the world to increase at an astonishing rate every day. While our country's epidemic was under full control, in a short span of two to three months, there were many cases of low-level crimes and murders. It made people wrangle their wrists, made people think deeply, and also made people feel that saving children was an urgent matter.
From 2020, 1st to March, the National Prosecutor's Office arrested 3987 suspects of minor crimes. 2003 people were not arrested; 6285 people were decided to be indicted and 2362 people were not indicted. These numbers did not include minors who had committed crimes before the age of 14. Because according to the law, Those under 14 were not responsible for the crime. Minors between the age of 14 and 16 would only be held responsible for crimes involving murder, rape, and other 8 types of crimes. So, Minors' crimes far exceeded the published data.
Any social problem could not be solved overnight, and the crimes committed by teenagers involved many aspects. I know. A movie or a novel can't change the current situation of juvenile crimes being underage and their methods becoming human and intelligent; I also know whether or not the age of a juvenile delinquent who has committed crimes of a lower age should be raised, and whether or not a juvenile delinquent should be sentenced to a higher sentence, and whether or not a juvenile delinquent should be sentenced to a higher sentence, or if a juvenile delinquent should be sentenced to a higher sentence. Regarding what kind of legal responsibility parents, or parents who are unable to regulate or are powerless to regulate, these problems must be resolved from the level of the law. Nowadays, the concept of youth's law was relatively thin. They might be able to recite a long string of games, movies, and singers' names in one breath, but very few people knew about the basic legal concepts of theft and robbery, intentional crime and negligence, legitimate self-defense, and overdefense. Law lessons that happened once or twice a year in the school were organized. In fact, Many adults were still unclear about the intrinsic differences between the" indictment "and" appeal, and the "defendant. ," so what was the point of educating children?
In order to solve these problems, they had to work hard on legal, cultural propaganda, public opinion guidance, and supervision. They had to try their best to avoid being led astray by a scene in the recording hall and a game in an internet cafe.
On the path of China's law governing, they had to increase the awareness of the law of the entire country. Grabbing children from them seemed especially urgent. If a gap could be opened in the current education system that should be tested, and the most superficial content of the law could be included in the nine-year compulsory education system, It would be a form of entertainment, to let the child know what kind of actions they could do. Which could not be done? It would be best to avoid the flowers of the motherland from committing crimes in ignorance and entering the high wall in confusion. Don't let the children lose their direction in their most beautiful years of youth and leave behind lifelong regrets. They had to let them know that once they violated the red line of the law, They have to bear legal responsibility.
The owner of Winter Snow Warm Sun lit up by the side, and as he grew up, he muddle-headedly violated the law and entered the youth detention center. His criminal experience, even if there was a reader who could learn from it and avoid similar crimes in the future, would not be in vain for the author to display a little bit of his remaining sincerity for the construction of the law in China.
