I went to the police station in China to get a certificate and found out that I had been executed for 15 years...

Nowadays, many employers require job applicants to provide proof of no criminal record when recruiting, but this common thing has recently caused trouble for Mr. Chen, a neighbor in Panyu, Guangzhou. This is because when he went to the police station to issue a certificate of no criminal record, he was rejected by the police officer. The reason turned out to be that he himself was executed for kidnapping as early as 2001. "Executed to death"? Does that mean you have to come back and issue a police certificate after 15 years of death? What has actually happened? In 2001, he committed the crime of kidnapping and was sentenced to death by the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. This information was clearly recorded on a document with the words National Public Security Comprehensive Information Query System. Mr. Chen said that this document was handed over to him by the police when he went to Qiaofuhua Police Station in Panyu City on July 29, 2016 to issue a certificate of no criminal record.

 

  Except that Mr. Chen's name and ID number are the same as Mr. Chen's ID card information, other information including academic qualifications, identity, and place of residence are all different from Mr. Chen's true situation. There may be something fishy or something wrong here. Mr. Chen admitted frankly that in the 15 years since he was "executed" in 2001, his life has been quite normal. He even had no problems applying for a Hong Kong and Macao pass. However, the information discrepancy appeared only after he issued a non-criminal record certificate. The situation and all kinds of strange things puzzled him. Shortly afterwards, the Guangzhou Panyu police preliminarily determined that the error in Chen's identity information was true by reviewing the original case file materials and cross-referencing multiple pieces of information, and the relevant error correction procedures had been initiated. On August 5, the police issued a certificate of no criminal record for Chen. [Comment] Here comes the question: Who was the person who was shot to death? This case is probably more interesting than the Huge case and the Nie Shubin case. What's wrong with this country? The public security agency shot a man to death, but they didn’t know who he was? Is this simple absurdity? How many more cases like this are there? From the investigation by the public security organ to the procuratorate and then to the court, no one discovered that this person's identity was false? Were the family members not notified when this man was shot? This is too scary to think about. We can imagine that one day you are walking on the street, you are caught, and then you are shot to death for a crime you have not committed, using someone else’s name, and Your family has no idea where you have gone? Is this a story? I don't doubt that the man who was shot really committed robbery. However, the public security organs, procuratorates, and courts, you have to figure out who you shot, right? This is horrifying to think about.
