The murder of Jiang Ge occurred in Tokyo, Japan, on 3 November 2016, when Jiang Ge, a 24-year-old graduate student from China at Hosei University, was stabbed to death by Chen Shifeng, a 25-year old Chinese national, at her apartment in Nakano, Tokyo. The case was controversial in China after it was discovered that Jiang's roommate Liu Xin, who initially claimed that she did not know the identity of the murderer, was the murderer's ex-girlfriend and during the murder, Liu had entered the apartment room ahead of Jiang and locked the door, and did not attempt to save Jiang from her murderer.

Persons involved

Jiang Ge (Chinese: 江歌; pinyin: Jiāng Gē) (1992 - 3 November 2016) was from Jimo District in the city of Qingdao, Shandong Province, in eastern China. She was raised by her mother Jiang Qiulian, who had divorced her father when she was one year old. After the completion of her college entrance examination, she moved to Weihai to study in a junior college and later took Self-Taught Higher Education Examinations in Qufu to study for her undergraduate degree.[1][2] In April 2015, she started studying aboard at a Japanese language school and in April 2016, she was admitted to the first-year postgraduate degree program at Hosei University in Tokyo.[1]

Liu Xin (Chinese: 刘鑫; pinyin: Liú Xīn) (born 1992) was from Chengyang District in the city of Qingdao. In the summer of 2010, she began her major in Japanese at Taishan University in Qingdao and in 2014, she came to Japan for her further studies. In April 2015, she enrolled as a graduate student at Daito Bunka University in Tokyo. Liu moved to Jiang's apartment in September 2016.[3][4] In 2019, she changed her name to Liu Nuanxi (Chinese: 劉暖曦; pinyin: Liú Nuǎnxī).[5]

Chen Shifeng (Chinese: 陈世峰; pinyin: Chén Shìfēng) (born 1991) was from Yanchi County in the city of Wuzhong, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in western China. After graduating from a middle school in Dingbian County in the city of Yulin, Shaanxi Province in 2004, he entered Huaqiao University in 2009 and graduated in 2013. Following graduation, he worked at a Confucius Institute in Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, where he taught calligraphy. In 2015, he moved to Japan where he attended a language school in Fukuoka and in 2016, he entered the graduate school of Chinese studies at Daito Bunka University. Before the incident, he lived in Itabashi Ward of Tokyo.[6][7][8][9][10]

Murder

On the afternoon of 2 November 2016, Chen Shifeng located the apartment where Liu Xin and Jiang Ge resided and proceeded to harass Liu. She refrained from opening the door and used WeChat to contact and seek assistance from Jiang, who was not at home at that time. Jiang suggested calling the police, but Liu rejected her proposal due to her not wanting to attract attention. Subsequently, Jiang returned to the apartment in an attempt to persuade Chen to leave. Following this, Jiang resumed her university studies while Liu went to work at a Chinese restaurant.[11][12]

Chen stalked Liu to her workplace and on the way, he threatened her and insisted on reconciling with him. Upon arriving at the restaurant, she sought aid from a friend, who posed as her boyfriend to extricate herself from Chen's persistent harassment. He then departed and subsequently inundated Liu with multiple threatening messages. Around 11 pm, Liu sent a message to Jiang requesting for her to wait at Higashi-Nakano Station and accompany her home due to fear of Chen's threats but neglected to inform Jiang about the threats. Jiang arrived at the station to wait for Liu and during this time, she engaged in a WeChat voice call with her mother back in China. The call lasted until Liu's arrival at the station.[12][13]

At approximately 12:15 am on the following day, the pair returned to their apartment and entered the corridor at the second floor. Chen, who had been following the pair, rushed to the second floor of the apartment and brandished a knife upon encountering Jiang. Liu, who walked ahead of Jiang, entered the room and locked the door just moments before Chen encountered Jiang. An altercation erupted between Jiang and Chen resulting in her unable to escape back into room and Chen then stabbing her ten times, including once on the neck and subsequently fled the scene. During this entire time, Liu remained inside the room and contacted the police, and only opened the door when the police arrived. Jiang was then transported to the hospital where she succumbed due to excessive blood loss.[14][15][13]

Trial and aftermath

Initially after the incident, Liu Xin claimed not to know who the perpetrator was and had no clues about the perpetrator until four days later on 7 November 2016, when the Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested Chen on suspicion of intimidation after he had sent a threatening email to Liu on the day of the murder. During the subsequent investigation, the police found evidence of his involvement in the crime and issued an arrest warrant for him on the suspicion of murder. On 14 December, the prosecution formally charged Chen with intimidation and murder, and the case was later scheduled for trial in December 2017.[15][16][17][18]

On 14 August 2017, Jiang Ge's mother Jiang Qiulian posted an article on Chinese social media platforms and collected signatures for her petition from the public through online and postal means, urging the Japanese judicial authorities to sentence Chen Shifeng to death. In November of the same year, just before the trial began, she traveled to Tokyo and conducted a multi-day signature collection campaign at Ikebukuro Station's west exit park and reportedly collected over two million signatures before the trial proceedings began. However, some legal professionals, including Jiang's then-legal representative, believed that the impact of this petition campaign might be limited and it would be unlikely that Chen would be sentenced to death.[15][19][20]

On 11 December, the trial of Chen Shifeng began at Tokyo District Court, and both the prosecution and defense presented their opening statements, followed by the introduction of prosecution evidence and forensic testimony from prosecution witnesses. The trial lasted till December 20, involved the testimonies of Jiang Qiulian and Liu Xin. Chen was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder. On December 22, he appealed against the first-instance judgment after the verdict was announced, but the appeal was withdrawn on the December 29 and the original judgment officially came into effect.[21][22][23][24]

Public opinion of the case in China

On 5 November 2016, two days after the murder, Jiang Qiulian posted on Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo, stating that the culprit who killed Jiang Ge was Chen Shifeng and he was Liu Xin's former boyfriend. This news attracted the attention of Chinese netizens and resulted in public debate regarding Liu's actions during Jiang's murder, with netizens accusing her of hiding in the room and not trying to save Jiang Ge who died while trying to protect her.[25][18] Liu Xin believed that Jiang Qiulian's Weibo post led to online harassment and defamation from netizens. In private communications, Liu informed Jiang that she would cease contact with her after the case was resolved. Subsequently, Liu ignored the WeChat messages sent by Jiang and failed to attend Jiang Ge's funeral, as agreed upon. She also did not meet with Jiang Qiulian when she traveled to Japan.[26][27][28]

On 21 May 2017, since she was unable to meet with Liu for 200 days since the murder of her daughter, Jiang shared a post on Weibo blaming Liu for locking door of the apartment during Jiang Ge's murder and publicly disclosed personal information of Liu including her photos, parents' names, phone number and identification card number in the post, in an attempt to pressure Liu into coming forward. The Weibo post resulted in large number of shares and comments. In the days after posting in Weibo, Liu and her parents contacted Jiang, accusing her of invading their privacy and requesting that she delete the post. However, Jiang refused to comply with Liu's request and in early June of the same year, Sina deleted articles containing Liu's personal information due to privacy concerns. In response, Jiang printed more than a thousand flyers with the information from the articles and posted them across Liu's hometown in Qingdao.[28][29][2][18]

In August 2017, both Jiang and Liu separately gave interviews to digital newspaper The Paper and an interview program hosted by The Beijing News. Through coordination by the two media outlets, Liu met with Jiang for the first time on August 23. She expressed remorse for avoiding Jiang but the two still couldn't reach a resolution.[28][26]

In the aftermath of the Jiang Ge's murder, Liu faced significant criticism and condemnation from the Chinese public. The initial doubts about Liu originated from Jiang Qiulian's revelation in November 2016 about Liu's previous romantic relationship with Chen Shifeng. In May 2017, after Liu Xin and her family's personal information was made public, there was another wave of accusations and insults against her on the internet. In August 2017, Jiang's signature collection campaign brought the case back into the public spotlight, leading to further criticism and even causing Liu to be dismissed from the Japanese language school where she was teaching in Qingdao. In November, the interviews with Jiang and Liu by The Beijing News were published on the internet, generating a huge response in China and bringing certain doubts and details of the case back into the public eye. Some netizens believed that, although the online harassment against Liu Xin had reached the level of cyberbullying, but given her actions in the case, it was a deserved punishment for her. However, some argued that until the facts are confirmed and responsibility is determined, the public's moral judgment of Liu lacks a factual basis and is unfair.[28][30][31][32][33][18]

Subsequent trial of Liu Xin

Announcement of the verdict issuing date on Jiang Ge's case by the People's Intermediate Court in Qingdao

On the day Chen Shifeng was sentenced to prison by the court, Jiang Qiulian held a press conference and expressed that she could not accept the verdict that Chen was not sentenced to death. She also announced that she would file a lawsuit against Liu Xin after returning to China to investigate her responsibility in Jiang Ge's murder.[34]

On the evening of 15 October 2018, Jiang posted on Weibo to announce a lawsuit against Liu Xin. The case was successfully filed on 28 October 2019. During this period, she traveled between China and Japan to obtain evidences regarding the case. On 22 December 2019, Weibo banned Liu Xin’s account on the grounds that she had consumed money earned through donations from her followers and had attacked Jiang Ge’s family.[35][36]

On 5 June 2020, a pre-trial meeting was held at the People's Court of Chengyang District in Qingdao. On 15 April 2021, the case was heard in court. After a four-hour trial, the presiding judge announced an adjournment and would not pronounce the verdict in court that day, but at a later date. The case was originally scheduled to be pronounced on the morning of December 31, but due to sudden illness of the presiding judge on the day earlier, the verdict was temporarily canceled.[37][38]

On 19 January 2022, the court issued a first-instance judgment stating that Liu was at fault due to her locking the door at the time of Jiang Ge's murder and that she should bear the corresponding civil liability. The court ordered that Liu should pay ¥496,000 to Jiang Qiulian for her financial losses and another ¥200,000 for the mental anguish Jiang suffered over the murder of her daughter. The court's ruling further stated that "Jiang [Ge]’s selflessness toward others reflects Chinese traditional virtues and is in line with socialism’s core values, public order, and good morals, which should be praised … while Liu’s behavior goes against humanity and should be condemned.”[39][40]

Jiang Qiulian at the court during the announcement of the verdict on Jiang Ge's case (2022)

On 24 January, Liu stated through her attorney that she has appealed against the ruling, and believed that the first-instance judgment found insufficient factual evidence and applied the law incorrectly, and requested the second-instance court to remand the case for retrial or change the judgment to reject all the appellee's claims in accordance with the law.[41]

On 16 February, the hearing of Liu's appeal was held at Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court. The trial lasted for four hours and the presiding judge adjourned the trial and announced the verdict at a later date. On 30 December, the court made a second-instance judgment where it rejected Liu’s appeal and upheld the original judgment demanding that she pay the compensation to Jiang.[42][43]

After the verdict was announced, Liu published a donation link on her personal Weibo account in an attempt to crowdfund nearly ¥700,000 in compensation. Her actions resulted in outrage from public including from Jiang Qiulian and was found to be violating charity law of China, which allows only registered charity organsiations to host online fundraisers. As a result, her Weibo account was permanently closed on 4 January 2023.[44]

On 1 June 2023, Jiang Qiulian issued an article stating that the total compensation of ¥696,000 had been paid by Liu after the court enforced the ruling four times. She also stated that she would contact relevant organizations to donate the compensation.[45]

On 13 June, Jiang issued a statement on Weibo saying that she had received a notice of response from the Shandong Provincial Higher People's Court. The notice stated that Liu Xin was dissatisfied with the second-instance judgment made by the Qingdao Intermediate People's Court on 30 December 2022 and as a result, she has applied for retrial to the Provincial Higher People's Court. The court has opened the case for review.[46]
