After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

By chance, the well-known director Qi Xiu got the news that Anping City planned to launch a cultural tourism promotional video for cultural tourism promotion, and thought, isn’t this the opportunity?

As a native of Anping, if he doesn't contribute to his hometown now, when will he do so?

So he immediately contacted his old friend in the Propaganda Department, Minister Lin Shuo, and said that he could personally form a team to produce this cultural and tourism promotional video without asking for a penny.

Then, he heard a reply that stunned him: "Old Qi, thank you for your kindness. However, this promotional video has been decided. It will be produced by Yunyi Media Group, with Peng Hua as the director, Zhao Leng as the producer, Feng Baozhen as the supervisor, and executive director..."

Qi Xiu began to doubt his life. It was just a promotional video. Was it necessary to be so exaggerated?

With this production team, with his current status, he doesn't even have the qualifications to get in and have a name. And the production team is scary, but look at the actors who may only have a few seconds of screen time, Fang Yuanlong, Zhou Zhenxian, Li Yangzhong, Liu Weichi, Li Zixia, Zhao Ya...

Are you kidding me? This is going to heaven!

Zhou Yi looked at the new promotional video shooting plan submitted to the Propaganda Department and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is it really necessary to go so far? This super-luxurious cast of heroes would be a top-notch production in a movie, but now it is put in a cultural tourism promotional film that may not exceed ten minutes, which is really a bit of a waste.

How should I put it? Secretary Zhou was very satisfied!

As a marketing tool, promotional videos play an eye-catching role.

Regardless of how the film turns out, as long as the news of this team's filming plan is released, it will bring immeasurable attention and popularity to Anping.

Next, it will depend on whether Anping can absorb this overwhelming wealth through beautiful scenery, attractions with historical and cultural atmosphere, special food, and meticulous service.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In November 2012, the Anping Municipal People's Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Liu Haitao, the defendant in the case of a vendor stabbing an urban management official, on suspicion of intentional homicide.

On January 9, 2013, the Anping Intermediate People's Court made a first-instance judgment, sentencing Liu Haitao to seven years in prison for causing death by excessive self-defense.

Liu Haitao stated in court that he would obey the verdict and not appeal.

The victim's family also had no objection to the trial result.

At this point, the incident in which a vendor stabbed an urban management official to death, which had caused heated discussions online and continued to attract attention, has completely subsided with the end of the trial.

This result met the expectations of most people, but a few law professors and public intellectuals also commented that this verdict was influenced by public opinion and was a step backward for the legal system.

You Diansong, a law professor at Southern University, believes that the Anping City judicial authorities, in order to comply with the so-called "public opinion", gave a light sentence to a murderer who was labeled as a "vulnerable group". This does not truly reflect the fairness of the law and is a regression of the legal system.

The public intellectuals who had originally spoken up for the vendors and were sarcastic about the urban management officers quickly changed their expressions, saying that the lives of the urban management officers are also lives, and that since ancient times, a person must pay with his life and a debt must be repaid with money. The sentence imposed on Liu Haitao by the Anping City judicial authorities was obviously too light, and there must be some shady dealings involved.

For these public intellectuals and professors, no matter what the verdict is, they can find reasons to object.

If the sentence is too heavy, it means the government is oppressing the vulnerable groups; if the sentence is too light, it means the government is being swayed by public opinion and not respecting the law; if the sentence is neither too light nor too heavy, then it means that the public opinion supervision of these people has taken effect, preventing the judicial organs from operating in secret.

In a word, we oppose just for the sake of opposing!

At this time, the Anping City Judicial Authority once again demonstrated a textbook response strategy.

We still adhere to the principles of openness and transparency, and the news media conducted in-depth and detailed interviews with the presiding judge and defense lawyer of the case, and made the information public to the entire network in the form of video and text.

Wang Lie, the judge personally appointed by Secretary Zhou to preside over the case, said to the camera in a serious and solemn manner: "The public prosecution agency provided the court with the defendant's confession, physical evidence, documentary evidence, witness testimony, on-site investigation records and photos, expert opinions and other evidence. Based on this, it is determined that the defendant Liu Haitao is guilty of intentional homicide. The facts are clear and the evidence is indeed sufficient.

But the defendant argued that he was acting in self-defense because he and his wife were beaten by urban management officers.

The defense attorney argued that the defendant met the criteria for excessive self-defense resulting in death as stipulated in the Criminal Law.

After trial, it was found to be consistent with the facts and the decision was supported.

In summary, according to Article 232 of the Criminal Law and other provisions, sentencing the defendant to seven years in prison is legal and reasonable.

Defense lawyer Xia Mingyue also gave a detailed account of the trial: "The focus of the debate at the time was whether Liu Haitao's behavior was excessive self-defense. The prosecutor proposed that the victim Meng Deyang did not participate in the beating of Liu Haitao and his wife, so Liu Haitao's knife-wielding killing was not self-defense, but a deliberate attack."

"But we believe that Meng Deyang, as a member of the law enforcement team who personally participated in the conflict, cannot be expected to make clear and calm judgments about the strength of his own defense and the target of his counterattack in the chaotic state of Liu Haitao being beaten. The original intention of our client's resistance was still to stop and protect himself and his family from being illegally harmed."

"We remind the prosecutor that the urban management law enforcement officers only have the power to confiscate and impose fines on our client, but do not have the power to use violence to harm our client. The moment the urban management officers took action against our client, they were no longer enforcing the law, but intentionally hurting people! Therefore, our client has the right to take defensive measures."

Tian Tian looked at her interviewee with approval. Not bad, not bad. This performance and this posture are quite like the moon.

This junior schoolmate of hers is truly a talented person. Not only is she a good novel writer, but she also has excellent thinking and eloquence.

Thinking of the novel the other person had written, she felt a little sorry because she had too few scenes. It was clearly a double heroine, but as the story progressed, she had less scenes than Zhao Qiushui.

She actually wanted to discuss it with Xia Mingyue. The book was finished, but could she write a few extra chapters?

Once the two interviews were released, those public intellectuals and professors were immediately speechless. Even if they wanted to continue to quibble and find faults, they were helpless because the public had sharp eyes.

There is no need for Lawyer Tian to even send out Zhou Yi. Just passers-by are enough to make these internet trolls keep their tails between their legs and dare not say a word.

"Well done."

Secretary Zhou gave a thumbs up to his wife, saying that Yueyue in his daughter’s family is very smart. Not only can she learn any posture once she is taught, but she can also apply it to other situations.

He once said that the most effective way to deal with public intellectuals who hate the country is to make information public in a timely and effective manner, to ensure the public's right to know about events, and to not give those scum with ulterior motives the opportunity to set the tone.

Of course, this must be based on the premise that one has nothing to fear if one is upright and that one has strong power over public opinion.

These two points may seem difficult, but they have them all!
