When Guo Li (pseudonym), who lives in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, was 13 years old (1987), she was trafficked and sold to Heze, Shandong Province on her way to school, where she was forced to live with a local man named Li and gave birth to a boy. The Paper reported that in early 1987, 13-year-old Guo Li was in the first grade of junior high school when she was trafficked by a man and a woman on her way to school in Hua County to Huji Township (now Huji Township), Heze City, Shandong Province.


  When Guo Li (pseudonym), who lives in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, was 13 years old (1987), she was trafficked and sold to Heze, Shandong Province on her way to school, where she was forced to live with a local man named Li and gave birth to a boy.

About two years later, Guo Li was rescued and returned home.

About 35 years later, the case of her being trafficked was filed for investigation, and the first-instance trial was held at the People's Court of Mudan District, Heze City at 9 am on the 19th.

  On December 15, Guo Li told Peng Mei News, "There was no hope before, but now there is hope. I will try my best to pursue responsibility." She said that she will appear in court for this trial and propose 800,000 criminal and civil compensation.

  At noon on the 19th, The Paper learned from Guo Li that the first instance of the case ended in the People's Court of Mudan District, and the court will pronounce the verdict at an optional date.

Guo Li stated that the defendant Zhao Moumou refused to plead guilty at the trial.

"He said he had never been to Hua County, or Huji Township," Guo Li said.

  The Paper previously reported that in early 1987, 13-year-old Guo Li was in the first grade of junior high school, and was trafficked by a man and a woman on the way to school in Hua County to Huji Township (now Huji Township), Heze City, Shandong Province.

For about two years, she was forced to live with Li's family in Huji Township, and was strictly guarded by her family. She gave birth to a boy in June 1988, when she was only 15 years old in one month.

In February 1989, she finally found an opportunity to report to the Heze Public Security Bureau with her children.

About a month later, her father and the police came to Huji Township and took her back to her hometown in Shaanxi, but she failed to take the child away.

  After returning home, Guo Li remarried and had a son and a daughter.

But Li Moumou did not completely break away from Guo Li's life.

Guo Li said that about half a month after returning home, Li Moumou went to her home once and left after a dispute with Guo Li's parents.

Since then, Li Moumou wrote to her frequently, but Guo Li's parents kept the letters, and she didn't know what they were about.

But the frequent letters were discovered by the villagers, and the news that Guo Li was kidnapped and gave birth to a child spread.

Guo Li's husband was dissatisfied with this and often quarreled with her.

Guo Li did not want to endure such a life, so she divorced her husband in 1997.

  Guo Li said that in 2011, when Guo Li was browsing Weibo, she saw that private anti-trafficking volunteer Shangguan Zhengzheng often posted information about trafficked children and women and news about their rescue.

She felt that "my heart was on fire again", and contacted Shangguan Zhengzheng for help.

At that time, she did not think of pursuing Li's criminal responsibility.

The son who grew up in Li's parents also called his mother Guo Li, saying that he was about to graduate and look for a job, and that his father's arrest would affect him.

Guo Li told the police that she hoped to warn Li Moumou not to let Li Moumou send any more letters.

After that, Li XX's frequent letters stopped.

In August 2020, Guo Li learned from her son that Li Moumou died in a car accident.

  Guo Li said that in early March 2022, Shangguan Zhengzheng forwarded to her the notice of the national public security organs launching a special action to combat the crime of trafficking in women and children.

She wanted to hold accountable the traffickers who abducted and trafficked her back then.

  Guo Li provided The Paper with the notification letter issued by the Peony Branch of the Heze City Public Security Bureau in March 2022, showing that the case of Guo Li's abduction and trafficking met the conditions for filing a case, and the case has now been filed for investigation.

About 35 years have passed since Guo Li was abducted and trafficked when the case was filed.

  An indictment obtained by The Paper shows that the defendant Zhao Moumou, male, is registered in Pucheng County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province.

On July 21, 1993, he was sentenced to four years in prison by the former Heze District Intermediate People's Court for the crime of human trafficking; 1,000 yuan; On January 28, 2014, he was sentenced to one year and nine months in prison by the People's Court of Fuping County, Shaanxi Province, and fined 10,000 yuan for fraud.

On March 12, 2022, he was criminally detained by the Mudan Branch of the Heze City Public Security Bureau on suspicion of trafficking in women. On April 18, 2022, he was arrested by the procuratorial organ and executed by the Mudan Branch of the Heze City Public Security Bureau on the same day.

  According to the indictment, on a certain day after the Spring Festival in 1987, the defendant, Zhao XX, premeditated, together with his wife Yang XX (handled in a separate case) and others, took advantage of the opportunity of returning to Yang XX's natal home in Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province, in Shaanxi Province. Hua County coaxed Guo XX on his way to school, let him drink soda with sleeping ingredients, took the opportunity to take him back to a hotel in Huji Township, Heze, Shandong Province, and sold Guo XX to Hu Ji through contact. Li Moumou of Yinji Village, Township is his wife.
