Remembering Yuan Baojing

Chinese netizens have been by and large characterized as 'rich bashing' people, which is obviously evident in a number of high profile cases such as the Harbin BMW and many others. In the gang boss Liu Yong case, the High Court of Liaoning Province sentenced Liu Yong to suspended death, which is usually converted to a life time in jail after two years. The Chinese netizens mobilized to get the Supreme Court involved to change the sentence to a death sentence. However, we just observed a rare opposite exception, while the netizens cried foul when a billionaire was executed for a contract murder case by the a court in Liaoning Province.

Yuan Baojing 袁宝璟, a Chinese billionare, together with his brother and a cousin were executed for an alleged contract murder case on March 17, 2006. His another cousin was sentenced to death with two years suspension.

The prosecutor's story was that the murder victim, Wang Xing blackmailed Yuan on an earlier case. Then Yuan arranged his two brothers to kill Wang. However, the story never holds, as inconsistent police report on the crime scene and various versions alleged plot, and that the police never set the connection to the murder weapon.

The murder case has question marks written all over it. The sentence itself is nothing short of a SCANDAL. No joke, but it is unprecedented even in the history of communism red China to execute three persons for one murder case, not to mention that the Supreme Court just recently issued a directive asking more causiousness in considering death sentences.

Many Chinese Netizens believe Yuan and his brothers were killed to bury crimes committed by top CCP disciplinary official Li Feng 李峰 of the Liaoning Province. Li Feng once 'borrowed' HKD $120 million to register a company in Hong Kong, the money was never returned. Li was known to be the big boss controlling all drug traffic and counterfeiting money business in Liaoning. Liaoning is notorious for its corrupt legal system. Last year, the Supreme Court scolded Liaoning by overturned Liu Yong case with an on-the-book-but-never-used legal maneuver. Many Chinese people are surprised and deeply dismayed that the Supreme Court did not intervene this time.

It was said that Yuan's wife Zhuoma, a professor of the Central University for Nationalities, donated more than USD $36 billion (most of which are stock of an oversea oil field) to the central government to bring attention for a fair trail.

Rumor has it that Li Feng is close to a relative of Jiang Zemin. Rumor also has it that the Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai is deeply involved. Any discussion or reference to the case were prompted removed on all Chinese online forums.

Yuan Baojing had been little known for his fortune because of his low profile life style when he was alive. Distinct from most rich Chinese businessmen who spent their fortune on luxuries, Yuan gave money to worthy causes. Since 1996, 900 college students cross the country had receive a prestigious Jianhao scholarship, seen by many as the top scholarship in China. The scholarship was donated by Yuan, who chose not to use his own name. He also established at least two elementary schools in Tibet. Because of Yuan's deliberate intention of not advocating for his charity giving, these kind of information has only been leaked slowly through people close to him after he was arrested two years ago.

For the first time, the tip and bottom layer of the Chinese fortune pyrimid found common language: the fear from corrupt officials. Who killed their sons? Who robbed their money? If a billionaire can't save his own life with his ways, means and treasure, what can a ordinary people count on?

　　不仅如此，据说那个官员还做假钞生意阿。这可是算是在颠覆那个国家经济秩序阿，可是谁让它和那个国家前任NO。1 的亲戚有着千丝万缕的联系，竟然还安坐太师椅。
　　可怜给他洗钱的那个马仔阿，千不该万不该得罪老板阿，有钱有什么用，首富有什么用，最后还不是落了个满门抄斩的地步，你到底下怎么去见你的列祖列宗阿。亏你还是赚大钱的，你把那财产全捐出去本来不就没事了么，偏要多嘴搞什么举报，你都那么一把年纪了，不知道这里是由谁说的算的，你不死，谁死。
　　不过那个小老板也危险了，这个国家隶属于另一股势力的媒体可不会放过这个机会的。估计那家伙也和我们国家的王宝森要一样了。

　　　　在这里我们不谈袁宝璟出身贫寒发奋自强；不谈袁宝璟靠自己种黑小麦的干净的第一桶金；不谈袁宝璟首创的不是以其个人命名的建昊奖学金；不谈袁宝璟官司的“复杂”；甚至也不谈袁宝璟他太太所介绍的模范丈夫的事例；更不谈袁宝璟遗赠的数额......我们只满怀敬意的谈一点---她的太太在接受媒体的访问答录：
　　　　一个我国著名藏族舞蹈表演艺术家、中央民族大学教授为她所爱的人停止了跳舞，为了求生的欲望而日夜呼号，视金钱如粪土，临危患于不顾，最为令人为之心碎的是她竟然置刚满一岁多的幼子于不顾说：“他（袁宝璟）要是死了我也不活了！”试问在当今社会里不要说是万贯家财的富豪，就是一般的普通穷老百姓能有这样的有几人？？？我就凭这一点，我也深信袁宝璟绝对是个屈死的英灵！！！
　　　　（为凑500字文再加短文：）
　　　　 袁宝璟案中“被害人”是个劣迹斑斑之徒，凭什么他的死会受到重视，从而表态要“不破此案决不收兵”？是要替他声张正义还是后有伏笔？
　　　　从起诉书来看警方事先根本就没有实施逮捕的法定理由（因为公安要求其堂兄听袁宝璟受刑的惨叫声以胁迫其招认袁宝璟，说明袁宝璟案在北京的被捕不是由于其堂兄的供词，而本案的认定完全是靠“供词”堆砌的），而袁宝璟案当事人连续被抓，即从前晚上辽阳他的堂兄到次日下午北京袁宝璟本人，前后不过半日有多，中间连续四人。其审讯效率，批捕效率，从辽阳至北京的出捕效率，和其后不是在拘留所而是到警犬训练场（没有“干涉”方便用刑）的审讯，这一系列连续动作如果说对一个普通人而言也是异勿寻常，而对一个各方面都有着不寻常的背景的人而言，这种“简单”和“效率”只能说明是有一双黑手在做这个案子！
　　　　袁宝璟以前也是法校学院派出身，我们大家亦可谓师出同门，生于这样的司法环境这是可悲可叹啊！
