On the night of 18 November 1995, a serious incident of gun violence occurred in Zhaodong, Heilongjiang. Two suspects armed with a double-barreled shotgun and a small-bore rifle opened fire at 48 people, killing 32 and wounding 16. 37 families were affected by the incident. Sizhan Town (四站镇) residents Xiao Hongwei (肖洪伟) and Bai Huichen (白会臣) and their family members (seven people in total) were all killed. The suspects also stole a Type 77 pistol and four Beijing Jeeps. They first drove through Sizhan and opened fire before speeding off to Wuliming Town (五里明镇), located about 30 li northeast of Sizhan. Later, they drove to Xibali Village (西八里乡), located 12 li west of Sizhan, in search of "targets", but did not find any. They then drove towards Dechang Village (德昌乡), located north of Sizhan, and stopped at a "Tiancai Stop" (甜菜站) along the way in search of "targets" again but did not find any. In order to "do something on a large-scale and let the whole world know" (as described by Jiang, one of the suspects), the two suspects drove around the towns and villages surrounding Sizhan in search of "targets".

The incident came to the attention of all levels in the Chinese government and security agencies. In Heilongjiang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Yue Qifeng (岳岐峰), Provincial Governor Tian Fengshan (田凤山), Vice Provincial Governor Yang Zhihai (杨志海), and others, made serious comments about the incident.

The Assistant to the Provincial Governor, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Head of Public Security Department Xu Yandong (徐衍东) urged the Suihua Administrative Office and the Zhaodong Public Security Department to arrest the suspects at all costs. Deputy Head of Public Security Department Chen Yongcai (陈永才), Head of Criminal Investigation Department Sun Bangnan (孙邦男), Deputy Head of Criminal Investigation Department Yan Zizhong (闫子忠), and Head of Criminal Technology Department Che Deren (车德仁) led 16 others to the scene to investigate the case. Security agencies all around the country responded quickly and deployed their forces to assist in arresting the suspects.

That night, at 9.40pm, one of the suspects, Feng Wanhai (冯万海, male, 26, a farmer from Dongxing Village (东兴村) in Sizhan Town), was shot dead by security forces. The other suspect, Jiang Liming (姜立明, male, 22, a pharmacy operator from Sizhan Town), was injured and eventually committed suicide by shooting himself after being cornered.

Yes, there was a quarrel between an unemployed young man called Li Yufang (李玉方) from Sizhan, and three others called Feng, Cao and Yang. The other three men attacked Li Yulü (李玉旅). The victim's family called the police, and the officials sent someone called Zhou Shoufang (周守芳) to handle the case. ... The medical expenses were not sufficient, so the authorities ordered them to pay another 7,000 yuan each. Cao Xuejun (曹学君) and Yang Xiaomin (杨晓民) complied with the order, but Feng said he had to go home to take the money. Thus, Feng Wanhai drove his own rented car home, with a police vehicle following behind. Upon reaching his house, Feng dashed out of his car and escaped. The police attempted to arrest him many times but failed. After Feng fled, the authorities had his car impounded.

''[I believe there's a typo here because the name "Li Yufang" suddenly became "Li Yulü". The Chinese character 雌 (cí) is also a possible typo because it means "female", which doesn't make any sense. The correct word could be 刺 (cì), which means "stab". I can't make any sense out of some parts in the remaining text.]''

Yes, Feng went to Cao Xuejun's house after escaping, and he killed Cao's wife Bai Xue (白雪), who was alone at home at that time.

In July 1995, after escaping back to his home village, Feng did not dare to appear in public so he went to Sizhan Town to find his friend Jiang Liming (姜立明). Jiang was a close friend of Feng, and he often drove Feng to pubs in the neighbouring areas, where they would drink and dance. According to Jiang Liming's lover Tan Wenjuan (谭文娟), since September 1995, Jiang started neglecting his pharmacy business and spent most of his time together with Feng Wanhai. Feng and Jiang became very close and they would share their woes and frustrations with each other, so they became very close friends.

''[Another typo in the following section: "据姜立明爱^』# ^、 ... 冯万麟人谭文娟". I tried making sense out of this part by removing some text and joining them together.]

Jiang Liming was an introverted and antisocial person. He had an affair with Hou Chunhua (侯春华), an employee in the town hospital, who was also the lover of Li Yongbin (李永斌), who works in the electronics industry. Although he did not earn much from his pharmacy business, he was able to own a Beijing Jeep. Since the second half of 1994, Hou Chunhua became very close to an agriculture worker called Liu Shouchun (刘守春) and started to keep a distance away from Jiang. Jiang felt that she left him because he earned less than Liu Shouchun and that he was not doing well in his business. Since then, Jiang became very envious of Hou Chunhua and Liu Shouchun, and he often complained to another lover (seems to be called 静岩 Jingyan) that he "cannot stomach this".

Around 1800 hours (6pm), Jiang and Feng went to Li Yongbin's house and killed Li ... (and others).
