Huang Kegong's Murder Case  

Huang Kegong, a native of Nankang, Jiangxi Province, was born in 1911. He joined the revolution in 1929 and committed a crime. He was the leader of the sixth team of the Anti Japanese Military and Political University. On October 5, 1937, Liu Qian, a public school girl in northern Shaanxi, was shot dead because her proposal failed. On October 11, 1937, Lei Jingtian served as the presiding judge of the High Court of the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Border Region, and the case was heard in public at the Northern Shaanxi Public School. Hu Yaobang, Wang Zhuochao, and Xu Shikui appeared in court as public prosecutors to perform their tasks and state their opinions. The court announced in court that Huang Kegong was sentenced to death.

Although the case of Huang Kegong shooting Liu Qian was an ordinary criminal case, the seriousness, democracy and equality of the legal system embodied in the handling of the case by the High Court of the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Border Region at that time had a profound impact on the legal system construction and judicial practice after the founding of New China. As the famous democratic warrior Li Gongpu predicted: "It has established a good legal example for the future of new China.
