So what is all this going on, and what happened to Zhou Genfa's wife?
Percussion
Zhou Genfa was born in the countryside, is an authentic country baby, although he has not read but is honest and hardworking, and because of this, his later wife Wu Wencai willingly married this poor boy, and he likes his down-to-earth family.
After the two got married, the husband worked hard, the wife was virtuous and virtuous, Zhou Genfa and Wu Wenfu sang with the wife, very affectionate, although the days were hard, but fortunately, the two were able to support and encourage each other in their ordinary lives. In 1991, Wu Wen gave birth to Zhou Gensheng's first son, named Zhou Zhengyuan.
In the traditional countryside, Zhou Genfa has completed the great event of passing on the ancestry, and the family is immersed in joy.
As the so-called good things come in pairs, Wu Wen gave birth to a second son for Zhou Gen the next year, named Zhou Shanyuan, the arrival of the two children made this small family full of laughter, but it didn't take long for the husband and wife to be a little worried, after all, the family is not rich, the arrival of the two sons makes the family's expenses significantly larger, and the two of them are even more worried about the future, from going to school to taking the university entrance examination, and then marrying a wife and having children, their two sons are two leaky money banks, I don't know how much to invest, so the husband and wife have the idea of working to save money.
Because the children were too young, Wu Wen could only take care of the children at home first, and Zhou Genfa became a coal miner, and since then he has been working hard every day in the dark, getting up early and greedy for the future of his two sons. Wu Wen, the wife of all this, felt pain in her eyes, but she couldn't help, so she secretly swore in her heart that when the child grew up, she would hand over the child to her parents, and she went to work in the county town to share the pressure for her husband.
humiliation
In this way, after a few years, the children gradually grew up, and they no longer needed their mother to be by their side all day, so Wu Wen went to the county to find a job as a nanny, taking care of food and housing and getting money, Wu Wen was happy in her heart, she could finally earn money, and she could finally help her husband carry the family.
But what she didn't know was that this was where the nightmare began.
At first, everything seemed to be peaceful in the employer's house, but in fact she had already become a lamb to the slaughter, so one dark and windy night, the employer's evil hands touched her bed, resisting, struggling, painful, and powerless, so she was raped by her employer.
After the incident, as a rural woman, Wu Wen was at a loss, and under the coercion and temptation of her employer, she didn't have the courage to call the police, and the only thing she could tell was her husband, who returned to her rural hometown more than 10 days later and told her husband about being raped by her employer.
Although the husband was furious after listening to his wife's crying, Zhou Genfa, who was honest and obedient since he was a child, did not want to make a big deal about it, he felt that it was too disgraceful, if he let the neighbors know, his man's dignity and his wife's chastity would be gone, and he and his wife would not be able to raise their heads to be human beings in the future, so he chose to endure it.
Molestation, murder
Originally, everything should have ended here, although it was not the most beautiful ending, but it was also peaceful. But a month later, his wife Wu Wen was found to have a venereal disease, this time her husband Zhou Genfa couldn't bear it, he decided to take his wife to the other party to ask for an explanation, and wanted to be private with the other party.
Zhou Genfa originally wanted to be private with the other party, but what he didn't expect was that the other party bullied him for being weak, not only arrogant but also belittled his wife Wu Wen in front of him, as the so-called Xiucai met the soldier is unreasonable, Zhou Gen picked up his shuttle dart head in a hurry, he thought to himself that you deceived people too much, then it is no wonder that I am, so in the tearing, Zhou Genfa put the other party down by mistake, and the blood instantly stained the floor red, Zhou Genfa, who didn't even dare to kill chickens since he was a child, was frightened and stunned there, and his wife Wu Wen saw that someone died, Screaming and running away, he never came back.
In fact, the employer was still alive at this time, and if he was sent to the hospital in time, he might be able to save him, but where could Zhou Genfa care so much, his wife's screams woke him up, and he also ran out with his wife, he was originally following his wife, but his wife disappeared as he ran.
The next day, Zhou Genfa was arrested at the mine.
In July 1997, Zhou Genfa was given a suspended death sentence on suspicion of intentional homicide, and in the courtroom he and his two sons hugged each other and cried, regretting that he had completely ruined the family because of his impulsiveness, and that his two children would be fatherless, motherless, and helpless in the future.
Zhou Genfa was 26 years old this year.
Searching for relatives
After Zhou Genfa was imprisoned, his two children were sent to the homes of Zhou Genfa's three older brothers by his father-in-law and mother-in-law for foster care, but what is unexpected is that only four months later, his two children disappeared.
Zhou Genfa only learned about this from his mother-in-law who came to visit the prison in 2001, so he also wrote a letter to his three brothers, but never received a reply, Zhou Genfa was uneasy, he knew that something must have happened, since he entered the prison, the two children are his only sustenance, he hopes to behave well and see the children as soon as possible.
Now that the child is gone, he is anxious, sleepless day and night, and hopes to get out of prison as soon as possible to find the child he has not seen for decades. From 2003 to 2018, Zhou Genfa was given five opportunities to reduce his sentence until he regained his freedom in March 2020.
More than 20 years of prison life have long smoothed out Zhou Genfa's edges and corners, and he is no longer the strong guy he once was.
He didn't blame anyone after he got out of prison, he felt that everything was his fault, but the child was right, he was going to find his son, at all costs. But his strength alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the feeling of powerlessness almost makes him desperate, at this time, a friend suggested that he could post a search notice on the Internet, so that netizens could help him, and the chance could be greater, so he posted his story on the Internet.
Not long after Zhou Genfa's story was published on the Internet, it attracted the attention of Yang Min, a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Nanchang Public Security Bureau in Jiangxi Province, and after learning about the whole story from Zhou Gensheng in detail, he decided to help the helpless father.
After being approved by his superiors, Yang Min searched the national database through DNA comparison, and soon found that a man from Linyi, Shandong Province, met the criteria and was almost the same age.
Yang Min quickly contacted the man named Zhang Xiang, and finally after the second DNA comparison, it was determined that Zhang Xiang was Zhou Genfa's second son Zhou Shanyuan, in the Spring Festival of 2022, Zhou Gensheng went to Linyi, Shandong under the arrangement of the public security police, and met his son again after more than 20 years of absence.
