Zhang Brother's Story

      Today I'm going to share a real case happened in China, hopefully u all can understand this true story and this case had brought a lot impact of responsive in society China. At least i think u may can get some realization from this post.Try to understand it.


     故事讲述一个叫张方均二十多岁的青年人，他生长在一个单亲家庭里面，有一个哥哥，至小靠着母亲辛苦赚钱帮他们两个孩子养大。2006这个念头，张方均为了解决家里的经济困境，就拿了一点所剩不多的储蓄开来到了大城市寻找工作，目不识丁的他在寻找工作时遇到百般刁难，最终必须睡在巴士站 过了三天白天吃馒头，晚上和水龙头水过活的日子，为得就是想剩下一点钱，哪怕只有那么一点机会也想找到工作。经过了三天的熬煎，他遇到了一位认为好的工盘工头，就这样在那里打了杂工一年多。当记者询问身在监狱里的他，还是很高兴地说：
“这是我这么大人，第一次赚到了钱，而且还是八百块（人民币）那么多！”
 “一个月八百？”
“不是，一年”
“一年八百?!”
“嗯，工头有包三餐和睡，至少我不用烦这些了，八百块这么多，那时我过年就把六百块寄回家里去，自己剩两百”


    没错，大家这里看到的是一年八百块的薪水，你可能觉得很傻，但很简单的道理。人到了山穷水尽，没吃没喝就算没有薪水也会照做，至少不会饿死先，你不做人家也会做，这是我们学的人类基本需求。半年后，他转工了。是一份工厂制造业的劳工，原想这次的待遇会更加好，没想到遇到无良雇主，竟然把提供给他们的宿舍变成监狱，不但没有薪水发，而且不做工的人，一律会遭到老板故请的黑帮人物殴打。经他亲述，曾亲眼看着一位同室工友被人用西瓜刀砍倒遍体鳞伤，最后更被拖出去，从此不见回来。就这样他们被关在暗无天日的房子里两年，两年里张方均跟家里失去了联络，令他心里万分着急，结果某个月黑风高的晚上，他终于躲过重重危险逃跑了出来。之后，他便用尽一切方法回到了乡下。当到达的时候，才知道原来哥哥已经没钱辍学了，他没有把自己的惨痛经历告诉家人，反而为了哥哥的事而大哭一场，因为哥哥能读书就是家里的唯一希望。


没多久，兄弟二人决定再到大城市里谋生计，这一年他们尽在地盘和工厂做一些散工，但总算安定地赚到了钱，而且还有办法在乡下盖新屋子，养活母亲和大嫂两人。原本以为一切好转的他们错了，不久后张方均因为做工时不小心从高处掉下来，致以一腿折断，由于一万块的手术费付不起，医院断然要他们马上离开，没办法之下，只好由几个工友凑钱勉强送他回家。就这样失生产能力的更难找到了一份工，哥哥的负担百上加斤，但事情看来不是这样就结束，同年大地震把他们辛苦赚回来的新屋子毁了，大嫂这时也丢下一个三岁的儿子不顾而去。最为严重的是母亲这时突然脑溢血急送院，同时也急需1.8万块来做手术费，否则命不久矣。两个儿子用尽一切的方法去借也不能及时凑到这笔数目庞大的医药费，哥哥张方述把心一行决定到城里绑架人质去了。


      这天弟弟被哥哥叫到巴士站里头，他接过手上由哥写的海报：“我不想犯罪，别逼我和只想凑1.8万救母亲”等字眼，虽然弟弟目不识丁但犯罪两个字还是能看得懂，一心想阻止哥哥的他已经太迟，因为哥哥已经飞快地走在前头，并拿一把自备的水果刀架在一位邝姓女士上，弟弟见已经不能阻止一切干脆就帮忙把大字牌挂在身前到处哭泣求人给他们这笔钱。僵持了九十分钟后，武警不用多大功夫就他们制服了，同日他们被关在派出所，就连拖进牢房时也声嘶力竭地哀求人家给他们这笔钱，甚至愿意以命偿还等等。几天过去，派出所的人无一被他们的哭声激动着，最后决定派出三名武警去探查他们家里的情况，这样才让三天里面发了疯找他们的母亲安心起来，但知道自己的被关后却又伤心不已。三名武警得知他们家里惨况后，决定把身上所有的钱凑起来一千五百多块给了这位老母亲治病，同时也四处寻访各报刊登有关事件，结果消息一出，及时引起社会各界的巨大影响。各界热心人士都慷慨捐钱乐助这位老母亲的医疗费，就这样她病情终于得以安定下来逃过生死一劫。相反，因为社会对于这起案件极度关注，所以导致了很多人的流言蜚语阻碍整个审讯过程。有的人认为要重判，以达到杀一敬百的效果，教以后没人再犯，无论在什么辛苦情况之下；有人则认为应该轻判，毕竟他们也是被逼得走投无路才这样做。重重的言语，最终迎来一场什么样的判决呢？

张方述持刀劫持一名女子与警方对峙。

张方述将钢刀架在女士的脖子上。

趁他擦汗的瞬间，带黑手套的便衣警察将钢刀从他手里夺下。

 

                                    几名警察迅速将他扑倒在地，人质被顺利救出

众警察一起将他抬往派出所

广州市白云区法院对张氏兄弟为筹钱救母绑架他人一案进行了一审宣判。张氏兄弟均被以绑架罪定罪，张方述被判处有期徒刑五年六个月，并处罚金2000元；弟弟张方均被判处有期徒刑两年，缓刑三年，并处罚金1000元。




判决后，张氏兄弟均当庭表示服判。专程从重庆赶来的张母谢守翠在旁听判决后，曾跪地谢谢法官席，之后虚脱被搀扶离庭。


法官析判：动机未纳入量刑情节




在宣读了案件定性后，主审法官开始详细解析量刑原因。此前被众多人同情的“筹钱救母”的犯罪动机，并未被纳入轻判的理由。


法院认为，两被告在绑架过程中没有殴打、侮辱人质，也没有造成伤害后果，最后亦未实际索得财物，两被告的行为属于刑法规定的情节较轻的绑架行为，依法应在五年以上十年以下有期徒刑的幅度内科处刑罚。


宣判后，主审法官告诫两位被告，孝敬父母是中华民族的传统美德，但行孝也要遵纪守法，不能违法肆意妄为。


“你们采用持刀劫持人质的方式筹钱救母，严重侵害了他人的人身权利，危害了正常的社会治安秩序和公众的安全感，同时也令自己身陷牢狱，不能为年老体弱的父母膝前尽孝，更辜负了母亲多年的抚养教育和期望，理应受到法律的制裁和社会的谴责。”主审法官真切地说。


判后不久，法院曾人性化地安排了让他们母子三人短聚十五分钟的时间。


为了让他们好好说说心里话，法院将所有记者拒之门外。参与了会面的辩护律师刘召奎说，会面大概持续了10分钟，谢守翠拉着两个儿子的手，三人有千言万语都说不出来，只化成热泪抛洒。


“一见面，三人就抱头痛哭，张方述一见到母亲，就心疼地说：妈妈瘦了好多，瘦了好多……他伸出双手拥抱母亲，当手铐滑过母亲头发的那一瞬间，所有在场的人都动容了。早已哭成泪人的老母亲，不停叮嘱张方述，‘好好改造，早点回来！’”


签署判决书后，张方均被当庭释放，他扶着母亲走出法院大楼，谢守翠紧紧握着小儿子的手，母子俩一路神情凝重保持沉默。


但还没走出法院大门，谢守翠突然又嚎啕大哭起来，身旁的一名同乡偷偷对记者说，“一定是想起大儿子还在里面，伤心了。

张方均扶着母亲走出法庭

       就这样张方均在轻判下，能回到了不能农活的母亲身边，一边照顾母亲和大哥的儿子，一边等五年后出来的哥哥。

张方均站在看守所门外，神情惆怅，他想见哥哥一面，但未能如愿。

张氏母亲（左）在家中服药治疗，右边的是张方述三岁的小儿，小儿常问道为何跟父亲通了电话后，他一直不回来？张家无言以对。。。

个人总结：生活环境逼人，再好的人也会走错路，有时不是不能做，而是明知道不能做也得做。难道他们两兄弟不知道会有这样的后果吗？从整个劫持人质的过程当中，张氏兄弟基本上没有使用过暴力，其实打从心里就打定输数，不是百分百被捕，而是有可能被枪击。中国武警行事强硬利落，谁也不能担保他们不会开枪？但又有多少人明白他们那种拼死也要救回母亲的心情。他们求的不是其他，而真正是我们的眼光，希望多专注一点，哪怕一点也好的决心。 你们的决心与孝义小弟服得五体投地，心服口服。。。你们的故事令我深深学到什么是孝义。
 

也希望这个才刚发生几个月的真人真事，能帮助大家领悟到某些东西，但记得分享哦，每个人学到的不同嘛。。。
