Do you still remember Xie Zongfen, Baibaoshan’s lover 22 years ago? How is her life now after being released from prison?

In the history of Chinese criminal investigation, there are three figures who must be mentioned, namely Zhang Ziqiang, Bai Baoshan and Zhang Jun. These three men were three gangsters whose murderous reputation shocked the whole country in the 1990s. Their hands were all stained with blood and debts, and were stained with the blood and tears of countless innocent people who would not rest in peace.

Among these three people, Bai Baoshan’s crime route spanned from Beijing to Xinjiang, and the investigation took as long as a year. Because of the huge amount of money involved, the serious social harm, and the bad social impact , recognized as “China’s No. 1 Criminal Investigation Case” and “World’s No. 3 Criminal Investigation Case”. His experience caused a sensation across the country, and was later made into a TV series in 2002.

Behind every tough bandit, there is one or more fragrant legends. Among these three people, Zhang Jun is the most lecherous one. When he had the most, he once had 5 mistresses; Zhang Ziqiang’s wife Luo Yanfang is an out-and-out legend. Even after Zhang Ziqiang was imprisoned, she successfully Bai Baoshan's lover and prisoner Xie Zongfen, because of her actual participation in the criminal process, became a female gangster who shocked the country.

"Rough Bandit" Bai Baoshan

Bai Baoshan is a native of Beijing. On November 6, 1958, he was born in an ordinary family in Shijingshan District. Bai Baoshan's parents both worked in a steel company in Beijing. Although they were not rich, they could still be considered to have sufficient food and clothing.

Unfortunately, when Bai Baoshan was 3 years old, his father died of illness. The mother alone, with a young child, could not support the cost of living in Beijing, so the young Bai Baoshan was sent back to his hometown in Hebei by his mother, and then remarried alone in Beijing.

This directly led to Bai Baoshan losing the protection of his parents when he was young and becoming a child with "no father and no mother". Later, he was not good at speech and suffered from severe stuttering, which made him unable to adapt well to society. Having embarked on an anti-social path is inextricably linked to this period of wandering and wandering.

In 1971, as life improved, Bai Baoshan's mother took her son back to Beijing to go to school without asking Bai Baoshan's personal opinion. However, there was a huge difference in teaching materials and teaching progress between Hebei and Beijing. Bai Baoshan, who was 13 years old at the time, could only study with first-grade students under his mother's arrangement. This incident further hit his self-esteem. , which deepened the gap between him and society.

Bai Baoshan could not adapt to this mismatched study life. Soon, in less than 2 years, he took the initiative to drop out of school and worked as a temporary worker in a pickle factory. Later, he moved to No. 1 in Shijingshan District. Worked as a loader at No. 1 Electric Carbon Plant. In the electric carbon factory, Bai Baoshan came into contact with the live-fire shooting project for the first time. With his flexible hands and feet and good eyesight, he came first in the project.

It can be said that firearms and shooting gave Bai Baoshan, who had never been recognized in his life, a different feeling. Usually, he is a dull and taciturn "honest person" who can be bullied by anyone. But as soon as he touches a gun, his emotions begin to be out of control. He feels as if he has suddenly become a person who can control the life and death of others. people.

However, this shooting technique did not make Bai Baoshan's real life any better. Especially after getting married and having children in 1981, the pressure of life on him became even heavier. In order not to go hungry, he started to do some petty theft. He secretly took a few yuan of clothes and mosquito nets hung outside by his coworkers back to his home for his wife and children.

However, with the launch of the "hard crackdown" in 1983, his petty theft finally came to light. Because he stole property with a total value of about 700 yuan, Bai Baoshan was sentenced to 4 years in prison. In prison, Bai Baoshan, who was not good at speaking, did not get along well with his inmates. The inmates who looked down on Bai Baoshan reported it. When Bai Baoshan was stealing corn, he hit his owner on the head with a wooden stick, which extended Bai Baoshan's sentence to 15 years.

However, these judgments did not touch Bai Baoshan, but pushed him further and further into the dark abyss. In the eyes of the uneducated Bai Baoshan, he just stole some daily necessities, but his crime was increased to 15 years. He could not figure it out anyway, and it made him hate this society even more.

After he was released from prison, Bai Baoshan’s wife and children were separated. Due to his status as a prisoner released from prison, he was unable to apply for a new Beijing household registration, and his way of making a living by setting up a stall was also blocked. This made him desperate and began to work on his own again. The only firearms talent that has been "recognized" has some crooked ideas.

Xie Zongfen: Going astray

It was at this time that Xie Zongfen entered Bai Baoshan's life. She is one year younger than Bai Baoshan and is a Sichuan girl who speaks slowly and softly. She has a beautiful face and fair skin. Because she was dissatisfied with the mediocre and dull husband arranged by her family, she came to Beijing alone to work hard, and that's how she met Bai Baoshan's mother. At this time, Bai Baoshan's desperate madness, which belonged to a gangster, attracted Xie Zongfen.

Bai Baoshan is an out-and-out evil ghost to the military, police and the masses, but when he treats his mother, wife and daughter, he unexpectedly has a tender side. All the crimes he committed were hidden from his mother. Even when he was finally arrested, the moment he saw the police, his first reaction was to go back to the house to get a gun, but when he looked back, he saw nothing. Zhi’s mother gave up the idea of ??resisting.

Perhaps it was his cold-blooded "emphasis on love and justice" that made Xie Zongfen still not leave him, even after knowing that he had killed people and committed crimes, and even participated in his criminal actions. among.

In the summer of 1997, Xie Zongfen followed Bai Baoshan to Xinjiang. Within two months, he committed three robberies, robbed a large number of guns, and killed 10 people, including police officers and joint defense personnel. Innocent people were injured, 5 people were injured. In September of the same year, Xie Zongfen was taken away for interrogation by the Yibin City Public Security Bureau because he returned to his hometown to visit his parents. He was eventually arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison for robbery and cover-up.

This case shocked the country at the time. No one thought that this woman who looked like she couldn't carry her shoulders or lift her hands was actually a very tough gangster.

Conclusion

These two names, Bai Baoshan and Xie Zongfen, once shocked the whole of China. When later criminal investigation experts analyzed the motives of the two people, they often felt that if the formation of Bai Baoshan's antisocial personality could barely be traced, then Xie Zongfen's life was like an out-of-control "roller coaster." In the first half of her life, she was just an ordinary little woman who didn't even know what a gun was. However, after meeting Bai Baoshan, she became a criminal who was capable of robbery and murder. Such a transformation was really shocking. It’s puzzling.

In fact, Bai Baoshan was far from being "good" to Xie Zongfen. On the way from Beijing to Xinjiang to commit the crime, Bai Baoshan even beat Xie Zongfen several times. After committing the crime, he even moved his In order to silence Xie Zongfen, he had even prepared a pit to bury Xie Zongfen's body in advance. However, all of this was not implemented under Xie Zongfen's "obedience".

Xie Zongfen's subsequent over-reliance on Bai Baoshan may only be explained by "Stockholm Syndrome". She was originally an ignorant victim, but under extreme circumstances, she became blindly obsessed with Bai Baoshan, the "perpetrator", and even became his accomplice.

After being arrested in Baibaoshan, Xie Zongfen, who had gone astray, finally seemed to wake up from this nightmare. In prison, she finally showed remorse.

In 2005, Xie Zongfen was released with a reduced sentence due to his good performance in prison. But at this time, Xie Zongfen was too embarrassed to return to his hometown and face his relatives and friends. After this misguided female gangster woke up from her infatuation with Bai Baoshan, she finally chose to escape to Xinjiang and start over in the place where she was burdened with blood debt. compensation.
