The authorities have a particularly uncompromising approach with respect to the condemned – crossing out their names with red ink certainly reinforces their point.
Chinese justice is of course swift, which the masses in more developed places tend to laud, but it is also imprecise and often targeted at those guilty of political crimes; just how many innocents are executed is not known. For that matter, even the total number of executions carried out is a state secret…
Below you can see the actual process of an execution, although of course 15 years and the need for organs has seen the process refined since then (mobile death vans are now in operation in parts of China, although they don’t help to recover organs by the sound of things).
Her story is an entertainingly macabre tale typical of rural China at its most unsavoury, so it is provided below:
The lady in question was apparently orphaned at an early age and kept on sufferance as a child of ill omen.
Once her mother died, her step-father drove her out, and she then lived on the street at the age of 13.
After being mauled by a dog, a hotel manager took pity on her and forced her into prostitution.
After a nationwide crackdown on prostitution in 1991, she was sent to a labour camp.
She was later returned to her step-father, who sold her for a thousand yuan as a bride.
She enjoyed a brief period of happy marriage to a kind invalid, but caught the eye of a powerful villager who forced her husband to sell her to him for 2,000 yuan.
For several years she was confined after repeatedly attempting to escape from her “marriage”.
When her master left on business, his two cousins took their chance to rape her, making her pregnant. One thought to buy her and keep the child.
When her master finally returned in 1995, she was sent back to him with a child, which enraged him. He tortured her into revealing the truth, and then slew both the father and the child.
Despair and rage finally took hold of her, and she took a sickle and killed her husband as he slept.
She was later arrested, but the court was uncharacteristically sympathetic, and resolved that she could be reformed in a labour camp.
However, for whatever reasons things did not go well and she murdered an inmate whilst there. She was sentenced to death, and her appeal rejected…
Just horrible. ~:(
To let you know, you can see the pictures of the execution gathering... just Google: Sankaku Complex. It's just a site providing news about anime, Japan, and anything related. Has a lot of wacky, interesting news; pretty much I get all the news from there. There's also "erotic" galleries over there, so just to warn you, you definitely should be 18+. The article should be on the front page if you check recently. If not just search "Execution Attracts Thousands".
There's also pictures of the ACTUAL execution itself, (the killing) which is definitely extremely graphic. It's a spoiler, so you won't see it unless you click on it.

If this is sarcasm, it shows the first rule of the international left.
1) Anything said by anyone, in any place, at any time, can and will be used against the United States of America in some way.

Re: This is really sad: Executions Attract Thousands (China)
The first part of the story is the kind of thing the Chinese government is trying to stamp out in the backward and seedier elements of the country, in its efforts to modernise. Unfortunately for the poor woman, by the time the authorities knew of her, she was already a criminal according to the justice system. China is trying to progress towards western standards of living and behaviour, but massive parts of the country are still primitive and exploitative even by ancient standards (there's a pre-1st century BC story about an official who put a stop to human sacrifice through demonstrating reason). The officials of old would probably have investigated the matter and dispensed suitable justice to the other characters of the story as well, but I'm not sure how the justice system works in modern China.

Of course it's sarcasm. I myself am an avid socialist. Oops there I go with the sarcasm again..

As much as I feel pity for the woman, justice has been made and their law was clear. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Though I would probably ignore the law if I felt the need for such a serious revenge. She was lucky, actually, for the court had mercy on her for the first time. She could have left camp for a new life away from her roots, but instead she pushed it too far.
