@borinlapzky: A Son’s Vengeance: How the Zhang Koukou Murder Trial Ignited China’s Debate on Morality vs. Law Zhang Koukou, a man from China’s Shaanxi province, carried out a revenge killing in February 2018, fatally stabbing three members of a neighboring family. The act stemmed from a 1996 dispute in which his mother was beaten to death during a physical altercation with the same family. Though the neighbor responsible for her death was convicted of manslaughter and served only four years in prison, Zhang claimed his family was denied justice. At his 2019 trial, prosecutors argued the killings were premeditated murder, while defense lawyers cited psychological trauma from witnessing his mother’s death as a child. Zhang’s execution in 2020 sparked nationwide debates: some viewed him as a filial avenger challenging an imperfect legal system, while others condemned vigilantism. The case became a prism for tensions between traditional ethics and modern rule of law in China. #复仇 #法律
