Literary prison and death ashes revival: Hunan from the media agent Yin Jiangong case sparked the rule of law controversy

This is not only a tragedy of one person’s destiny, but also a mocking of the concept of “the whole process of people’s democracy.” In the premise of the judgment, Yin’s first half of life is not glorious in some people’s eyes, but it is also not an excuse for preventing or depriving Yin’s power to still use the words to write for the weak.

On August 6, 2026, the Anguilla and County Courts, a judgment involving the national public opinion, hastened to close in just half an hour.

The 60-year-old Hunan Shenzhen, from the media agent Yin Jianggen (written name: Pen耕), for writing articles to help the local weak Chen DeJen, was eventually sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years and 3 months for provocation.

Yin Cheng-gan had no chance to make a final statement, and a writer who used "Writing to Ask for Power" was eventually sent into custody by the text. The trial could be absent, but the ethics of justice could not be absent.

On August 11, 2025, Anguita and County police arrived 700 kilometers across the province to demand that he remove the article criticizing local municipal government official Liu Mou. He refused, and was taken away, jailed, criticized, prosecuted, sentenced.

judgment of the first instance

The prosecutor's office accused him of issuing 75 critical articles over five years against administrative organs and cadres in the six provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, "humiliating the image of cadres."

The court eventually determined that witnesses claimed that Yin Ying-gen claimed to make money by writing articles in the name of a "rule of law online" journalist (working certificate), while his 16 articles used insulting personality words such as "abominable" and "scorpion woman" constituted a crime.

So, the government officials who were criticized were all well, and Yin Jianggen, who criticized the officials, was sentenced.

One civil debt, two criminal offences

The beginning of the case is a 1995 old account.

Angei and county farmers Chen DeJin, for 90,000 red brick funds for more than 20 years.2021 signed a compensation agreement with the Chongqing town government, after the end of the payment of 100,000 yuan, the town government violated the contract.She went to Beijing for a letter visit was brought back, sentenced to a year for the crime of provocation; after leaving jail, Mikobo called the town party committee secretary Liu Liu "notify the fake police", and was administered for 18 days.

Chen DeJen, a peasant woman, has no relationship with no background, and the town government cadres have gone one by one, until the term of office of town secretary Liu Mou has expired

• Chen DeJen has met the "dare to be the first in the world" Hunan man Yin Jianggen.

Yin Ying-gen, who was not able to watch, wrote several articles for Chen De-Jean under the name of “The Sun under the Pen.” On August 11, 2025, the county police arrived 700 kilometers across the province to Acre, asking him to delete the post. He refused, and was then detained across the province.

Who is in “Literary Prison”?

Yin Jin-gan did not rely on writing articles to blackmail and blackmail, did not collect the money of the rights complainant, his actions, in essence, are citizens exercising the supervision and freedom of speech conferred by the Constitution.

This is precisely the most vivid note of “people’s democracy throughout the process.”

Defence in the judgment.

However, the County Public Prosecutor’s Law defines this as “a provocative incident to raise attention and gain web reward.”

The absurdity of the judgment logic lies in that a 60-year-old man, if he can really go for traffic and rewards, can chase the hotspots of entertainment, why should he take the risk of speaking out for the hard-working group of people with disabilities, low-income households, and violent dismantling victims?

More netizens revealed that at first he went to Hunan to seek his police to ask Yin Jianggan to "delete the post". This shows that the police also believed that his behavior was not a serious crime, at least the "punishable civilian" gray zone. but he refused, so suffered a deadly blow of "disobedience", criminal prosecution was activated.

Criminal law is not used to punish crimes, but is used to punish “disobedience.”

It’s like an ancient literary hell: it doesn’t matter whether the word itself is guilty, it matters whether it is obedient to power.

The Collapse of the Rule of Law Ecology

It is a systemic problem: the systemic design of the public prosecution law that constrains each other is completely failed.

Cross-provincial arrest, the prosecutor's office approves the arrest; evidence is in doubt, the court makes a judgment. There is no link to question the legitimacy of the public security jurisdiction, the sufficiency of the evidence, the reasonability of the motives of the investigation.

Cooperation overwhelmed constraints, procedural justice was replaced by procedural instrumentalization, procedural justice was relinquished before the logic of power, and the independence of the law enforcement in this case became the "cooperation of the law enforcement".

When the judiciary turns from a “restrictor” to a “co-operator”, procedural justice is replaced by procedural instrumentalization – not a tragedy for one person, but a global crisis in the rule of law environment.

When a “culture farmer” faces the catastrophe of more than two years in prison for writing critical articles, when the only surviving voice of supervision is silenced with “pocket crime”, who dares to write for the weak?

Yin Ying-gen spent his 60th birthday in prison and will continue to spend his 62nd birthday in the iron window. Articles can be deleted, public numbers can be cancelled, but public opinion cannot be deleted, and society's questions about the rule of law cannot be deleted.

And the "and" of the county, in the end, could not accommodate the next 100,000 bricks of a peasant woman, nor could it accommodate the next writer's simple plumbing. and in the sunlight, the next "plumbing" may be silently deleted in some corner. and those who continue to abuse the authority, are still on the job.

Loss of professional judgment: Why has the "long arm" of jurisdiction stretched to six provinces?

Yin Jianggen is a Hunan citizen, the public number registered in Hunan, and the article is published in Hunan.The only one that can get in touch with the county is the nine articles of Liu Mou, a secretary of the Party Committee of Hunan Town.

However, the verdict will involve all 75 articles in the six provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Fujian and will be handled by the county.

The provisions of the procedure for the handling of criminal cases by public security organs permit the investigation of merger cases on the basis of "related connections".

Different times, different places, different victims, different facts and articles have no intrinsic connections – the only thing they have in common is “the same perpetrator.”

In the event of a merger, any cross-border cyber behavior could be fully taken over by any judicial authority in the victim’s location, which would completely destroy the basic principles of territorial jurisdiction.

For example, the content of the judgment shows that between December 2022 and January 2023, the defendant Yin Ying-gen posted on the network three false information involving a resident of a town in Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan province, Hunan provin

Evidence shows that apparently none. and in the 20 articles written by the judgment book Roley Yong Jian, the subject of the “insulted” involves no exception to the reporting or prosecution.

The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal cases are governed by the place of the crime or the place of residence of the defendant. and the county is neither Yin Jiang's residence nor the place where the vast majority of the facts in the 75 articles occurred.

The defence party has raised an objection to jurisdiction before the trial, the court has failed to review the substance, i.e. rejected, and the procedure is clearly illegal.

However, for the aforementioned defence opinions of the Angui and the county judicial organs without jurisdiction, the court of first instance found that Yin Jiang-gen, through a network post, insulted the city cadres Liu in the county and according to the provisions of the Opinion of the Ministry of Public Security of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the Application of Criminal Procedures in Information Cyber Crime Cases Article 3 "There are multiple crime sites of information cybercrime cases, initially accepted by the public security organs or the main crime public security organs to investigate the case"

• and the county public security Bureau initially accepted the case, so the county public security Bureau has jurisdiction over the fact.

The Logical Paradox of Evidence: The Criticism Proves Itself “Innocent”

The ruling found that 75 articles were “false” based on the “explanations” issued by the critical units. an extremely ironic logic emerged: the court used the critic’s own testimony to “prove” that the critic’s article was wrong.

And none of the ordinary people who had been helped by Yin Jingkan were asked.

Only Chen DeGeneres, who testified in court that the article was true, his testimony was rejected by the court.

The courts have always deviated from the principle of justice – accepting the unilateral testimony of all the objects criticized, but excluding the testimony of the vulnerable.

Article 6 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Judicial Procedures states that the judges shall judge cases "on the basis of facts and on the basis of law, and adhere to an objective and fair position."When evidence is collected, there is a one-way inclination, and when all counter-proofs are systematically excluded, the position of "objective and fairness" is lost.

The “unchecked” allegations in the judgment should be directed precisely to the authorities themselves—have they checked the truth behind those statutes?

* Total collapse of procedural justice

Publicly deprived of the right to listen. On the day of the verdict, the court outside the law police were strict, the seats were "precise occupied". the defendant's family, ordinary people were blocked outside the alert line.

The defendant’s right to the final statement is deprived – a statutory right to prosecution under the Criminal Procedure Code.

In both the office criminal trial notice issued by the county court itself, it was written that "the defendant made the final statement", and in the Yunnan case, this link disappeared.

The "zero cost" of cross-provincial law enforcement. and county police catch people from 700 kilometers across the province of Hunan, the first thing to do after arrival is to "request deletion" and tell "deletion is done".

This shows that the police themselves also regarded Yin’s actions as at least the “punishable people” gray zone – otherwise there would be no conditional exchange.

Basic Answers to Public Questions

The intention of provocation in the criminal law is to punish criminal acts such as "deliberately beating" and "blaming".

He wrote about the tears of the farmer Chen DeGeneres for ten years, the indifference of the grassroots government after the breach of the contract, and the despair of vulnerable groups to complain without the door.

The real confusion of the public is: If Yin Jiang is guilty, are not all those who voice for the weak guilty?

If “uncontrolled” is “provoking,” where are the boundaries of public opinion supervision? the judgment does not answer, the silence of the judicial organs instead of explanation.

Article 10: The judges should “accept legal supervision and people’s supervision in accordance with the law.”When the judgment is not disclosed, when the judgment is interrupted, when the final statement is deprived, how do the people supervise it?

In Yin’s case, we see a “culture farmer” asking power and truth with a pen, but the answer is “catch you across provinces, judge you, hold you.”

Content of judgment

The essence of procedural violation is the overriding of power over the law and the systematic disregard of judicial ethics.When a writer is imprisoned for writing a word that should not be written, the word imprisonment is burnt to death.

Some netizens commented: "Let some public officials who like to abuse power to fight retaliation, false public welfare, and misconduct continue to remain in the public office, they will continue to do evil and harm others."

This is sharp, but points to the main problem – when power is lacking in effective constraints, when the prosecution mechanism is long resting, the cost of doing evil is close to zero, and the risk of exercising supervision is close to infinity.

At the same time that Yin was sentenced, Chen's 100,000 bricks remained empty, and no critical cadres were investigated

• the most terrifying corruption is the non-government of people.

Whatever the outcome of the second trial, the case has raised an inevitable question: why would a “cultural farmer” who relies on literal beliefs stand on the court when exercising the supervisory powers conferred by the Constitution?

Articles can be deleted, public numbers can be cancelled, people can be sentenced, but the issue will not be deleted. The sun may be temporarily covered by the black body words on the verdict, but the sun itself will not disappear. Those who write for the weak are worth remembering; and those who abuse power will eventually be questioned.
