The Supreme People's Court has repeatedly emphasized that in the field of civil trials, it is necessary to vigorously carry forward the core socialist values, carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, give full play to the function of judicial judgment to punish evil and promote good, and resolutely say no to the practice of "reconciling the mud" and let the whole society. Full of righteousness and justice.
The result of the first-instance judgment of Mother Jiang v. Liu Xin clearly and unmistakably declared to the world what is good and what is evil, realizing the organic unity of legal effect and social effect.
Although compared with the claim amount of 2.07 million, the claims actually supported by Jiang's mother are not many, but her core views and demands are reflected in the judgment.
In fact, the most important thing is not the amount of compensation, but the characterization of the case by the court.
After the first-instance judgment, Jiang's mother admitted that she did not accept Liu Xin's apology.
"The first time we met in 2017, Liu Xin apologized to me in front of the camera, but turned around and continued to attack and slander Jiang Ge on the Internet. All of this is because she wanted to escape legal responsibility. If she sincerely apologizes, she will There would be no case like today."

For Jiang Ge's righteous deeds, the judiciary unequivocally supported.

For Liu Xin's actions, the judiciary unequivocally condemned it.
On the one hand, Liu Xin did not truthfully inform and remind Jiang Ge of the danger of infringement introduced by him. In the time of danger, he disregarded the lives of others in order to protect himself, and blocked Jiang Ge from the door and was killed; On the one hand, instead of being grateful and giving sympathy and comfort to the relatives of the deceased after the event, he used inappropriate words to aggravate the pain of others, and his behavior went against common sense and human feelings.
Some lawyers have analyzed that the 200,000 mental consolation fund ruled this time is relatively high in China, and it is four times the 50,000 yuan basis for conventional serious mental damage. The mother's provocative language, after taking into account the results.
This also reflects the judiciary's full affirmation of Jiang Ge's righteous deeds and full sympathy for Jiang's mother's psychological damage.
Punishing evil and promoting good with a clear-cut stand, let those who do good be treated kindly, let offenders pay the price, and let the people feel fairness and justice in every judicial case, which is the righteousness of justice.
One of the important functions of judicial adjudication is to protect the bottom line of social morality, promote virtue and righteousness, and guide the whole society to respect morality and goodness.
