More than two weeks have passed since the trial on July 22, and Zhao Yong is still waiting for the verdict.
Zhao Yong is one of the parties involved in the "textbook-style Lao Lai" incident in Tangshan, Hebei.
In October 2015, his father was hit by a car driven by Huang Shufen while riding a bicycle across the road, and was diagnosed with severe head injury after being sent to the hospital.
Then Zhao Yong sued Huang Shufen for compensation, and the court ruled that the amount of compensation should be about 860,000 yuan.
Because Huang Shufen did not pay the compensation within the stipulated time, Zhao Yong posted Huang Shufen's remarks on social media such as "I have a high income, I have to repay the loan", "(The court) sentenced to a few years, at least I don't have to pay back this amount of money." On the platform, "textbook-style Lao Lai" became a hot word and attracted attention.
From entering the compulsory enforcement stage in 2017 to June 29 this year, the enforcement bureau of the court issued about 110,000 yuan of enforcement funds from Huang Shufen to Zhao Yong.
After his father died at the end of 2017, Zhao Yong insisted on pursuing compensation.
In order to get the remaining compensation, lawsuits have become part of his life.
It has been seven years since the car accident and five years after the compensation judgment was handed down. Netizens familiar with Zhao Yong expressed emotion on social platforms that they left the campus to enter the society, bid farewell to being single, married and had children, and entered a new stage of life. Zhao Yong was still in the quagmire of lawsuits.
"Textbook-style Lao Lai" incident
Based on Zhao Yong's remarks and relevant media reports, on October 6, 2015, Huang Shufen, who had just obtained her driver's license for two months, was driving her daughter's car, and hit Zhao Moubin, who was riding a bicycle across the road, on Tangfeng Road, Tangshan City, causing injuries on the spot. 62-year-old Zhao Moubin suffered head injury.
The Tangshan traffic police later determined that Huang Shufen was in charge and Zhao Moubin was in charge.
On June 8, 2017, the People's Court of Fengrun District, Tangshan City made a judgment on the case of Zhao Moubin's car accident, finding that the driver Huang Shufen bears 70% of the compensation liability, and Zhao Moubin bears 30%, and judged that Huang Shufen should compensate Zhao Moubin for a total of more than 930,000 yuan. In addition to the compensation that Huang Shufen has paid, she still needs to pay about 860,000 yuan.
Huang Shufen did not appeal, but did not perform the compensation as scheduled.
On August 19, 2017, Zhao Yong applied to the court for enforcement.
The case first became widely known five years ago.
Zhao Yong told reporters that it had been two years since the car accident happened, and his father became in a vegetative state after several operations, but Huang Shufen did not fulfill the compensation.
Near the end of 2017, my father, who was in a vegetative state, was lying on the hospital bed. Complications such as cerebral herniation and thrombosis occurred frequently. The doctor said that the situation was not good and we had to plan for the worst.
Sitting in the ward, with injustice, resentment, and despair, all kinds of emotions were stagnant in his heart. Zhao Yong wrote down the whole process of the incident on his mobile phone and posted the article on social platforms.
"I didn't think about the so-called exposure at that time, just to express it, and the purpose was not so strong."
After the article was published, the "textbook-style Lao Lai" incident aroused social concern.
On December 1, 2017, Zhao Yong's father passed away.
On the same day, the Tangshan Intermediate People's Court released information on the progress of the case, saying that after investigation, no real estate, vehicle registration information and deposits were found in Huang Shufen's name.
In view of Huang Shufen's failure to declare property as required and refusing to perform the effective judgment, the court included her on the list of dishonest persons subject to execution and restricted high consumption.
On December 9, 2017, Huang Shufen was detained by Tangshan police on suspicion of causing a traffic accident.
On December 22 of the same year, with the approval of the Fengrun District Procuratorate of Tangshan City, Huang Shufen was arrested.
Since then, Huang Shufen was sentenced to 8 months in prison.
A hearing after 1290 days
After the "textbook-style Lao Lai" incident detonated public opinion, lawyer Yue Fenshan, a senior partner of Beijing Yuecheng Law Firm, contacted Zhao Yong to provide him with legal assistance.
In 2018, after lawyers Zhao Yong and Yue Qishan obtained the execution file of the compensation case, they systematically analyzed Huang Shufen's running water information.
Combined with the enforcement ruling issued by the Fengrun District People's Court of Tangshan City, it was determined that the property under the name of Huang Shufen's daughter was jointly owned by Huang Shufen and her daughter.
Zhao Yong submitted an indictment to the People's Court of Lunan District, Tangshan City, requesting the court to rule that Huang Shufen owns 70% of the property in her daughter's name.
The indictment pointed out that from January 1, 2016 to November 15, 2017, Huang Shufen would transfer money to her daughter almost every month on or a few days before the repayment of the mortgage.
The case was lost in the first instance, and the court stated in its judgment that the signing of the house purchase contract and the registration of the real estate advance notice were all carried out in the name of Huang Shufen's daughter. According to the principle of legal property rights, Zhao Yong's claims were unreasonable.
Zhao Yong then appealed, and the Tangshan Intermediate People's Court upheld the original verdict in the second instance.
At the court hearing, Huang Shufen characterized the transfer of money to her daughter from January 2016 to the end of 2017 as a gift.
After discussing with the attorney, Zhao Yong decided to sue again and asked Huang Shufen to revoke the gift transfer to his daughter.
Yue Fenshan said in an interview with the media, "These gifts occurred after the accident and the court's judgment. We believe that there is a suspicion of evading the court's execution and transferring property."
On January 9, 2019, Zhao Yong submitted a complaint to the People's Court of Lunan District, Tangshan City.
On July 27, 2021, Zhao Yong received a case filing notice.
On July 22 this year, 1,290 days after the filing of the complaint, the case officially opened for trial.
According to the newly obtained running water information, Zhao Yongfang advocated that Huang Shufen should revoke the donation of about 620,000 yuan to her daughter.
Before the trial, Zhao Yong picked four books and put them on the table in the conference room, hoping to bring some good luck.
Three of them are related to law, namely "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China", "Criminal Trial Reference" and Luo Xiang's "Circle of Justice".
The big red Civil Code is placed at the top.
As the attorney for Zhao Yong, lawyer Feng Shuo of Beijing Yuecheng Law Firm brought three paper bags full of litigation materials.
Regarding the trial situation, Zhao Yong said that the details of the trial could not be disclosed before the sentencing.
Huang Shufen's attorney, lawyer Liu Chuncheng of Beijing Huapeng Law Firm, concluded that Huang Shufen has a 90% chance of winning the case.
At present, the People's Court of Lunan District, Tangshan City has not yet announced the verdict.
The reporter called the court to inquire about the progress of the case. As of August 10, the court had not received a reply.
The reporter contacted the client of the case, Huang Shufen, who refused to be interviewed through her attorney.
Exposure, popularity, traffic
Exposure, popularity, and traffic are topics that Zhao Yong cannot avoid on the road to recovery.
After posting about his experience on social platforms in 2017, he attracted attention.
Along with the popularity came an explosion of information, and a flood of private messages and comments on social media. Zhao Yong, who was originally a simple social circle, felt anxious and even painful.
"I want to keep a distance from it, but I can't live without it," Zhao Yong described his relationship with social platforms.
The popularity brought by social platforms has increased his social pressure, but everyone's attention can also increase the possibility that the recovery incident will be resolved.
After filing the complaint in 2019, Zhao Yong rarely posted news on social media.
He maintains his homepage as a rights protection diary, and seldom publishes information unrelated to recourse on social platforms. He hopes that people who want to know about this matter will click in and read content related to the progress of the matter. .
On July 12, 2021, Zhao Yong received a notice from the Executive Bureau of the Tangshan Intermediate People's Court that they had received the 500 yuan execution payment voluntarily submitted by Huang Shufen.
In Zhao Yong's memory, this is a rare act of Huang Shufen who has taken the initiative to fulfill the obligation of compensation since the judgment was issued in 2017.
Zhao Yong updated this information on the social platform, and then the entry "Huang Shufen offered to pay 500 yuan to the victim" appeared on the hot search list.
A number of media have successively carried out reports.
Six years after the accident, Zhao Yong, who is still pursuing compensation, has once again attracted public attention.
This is not the first time Zhao Yong has experienced the benefits of heat.
He wasn't sure if the progress of things had anything to do with the heat, but when he faced something he couldn't solve, the heat was the last straw he instinctively grabbed.
Zhao Yong's dream in the past was to be an ordinary office worker in a big city.
His father's car accident completely changed the direction of his life.
After his father died at the end of 2017, Zhao Yong focused on recourse for compensation.
Frustration and disappointment have built up in the two years that the case has gone nowhere.
He became anxious, insomniac, and thin.
During the "November" holiday in 2021, Zhao Yong turned to his father's notebook when he was packing things in his hometown.
There are two pages in the book is a riding plan, writing the route to Lhasa, and calculating the cost of the whole journey.
The "New Alto" car bought by his father when he retired may be scrapped in two years. Zhao Yong wants to drive his father's car to fulfill his unfulfilled wish.
So he took his father's photo and drove to Tibet.
When I arrived in Lhasa, my anxiety before departure was relieved a lot.
Zhao Yong took a group photo with his father's posthumous photo, and after a short rest, he returned to work in Beijing.
After the accident, Zhao Yong never cut his hair. He wanted to wait until the day when the matter was completely resolved before going for a haircut.
Back from Lhasa, in order to solve the problem of hair loss, he decided to cut his hair short and keep it healthy.
He chose a compromise solution, cutting his waist-length hair to a length just enough to tie it up, "I still have to keep a little bit and leave something for myself as a reminder."
Zhao Yong went to the barber shop to inquire about the price. The cheapest one was 30 yuan, which he thought was expensive.
When he got home he cut it himself with scissors.
Zhao Yong has a talent for painting.
When his father was treated in the hospital, he sold paintings to raise medical expenses.
But that intensive painting experience made him have some resistance to painting.
In addition, he feels that painting is not helpful for recourse for compensation, so he has not painted outside of work for five years.
Recently, he dug out a pen that had not been used for a long time, cleaned it carefully, and prepared to draw 1,000 golden toads as a record of life after the lawsuit.
When the matter is completely resolved, he is ready to cut off the rest of his hair, maybe shave his head, say goodbye to the past, and start over.
