Show respect to our fallen heroes, top court warns
Print Edition
CHINA’S top court has pledged to protect the reputation and honor of the country’s heroes in accordance with the law to “uphold socialist core values.”
The Supreme People’s Court yesterday published five examples of lawsuits involving derogatory or humiliating comments about China’s famous war heroes.
The cases include one in which a local court in Beijing ordered an Internet celebrity and a beverage maker to apologize to the family of deceased war hero Qiu Shaoyun for microblog posts that the court said infringed on Qiu’s rights to reputation and honor.
Qiu, who burned to death while trying to protect his troop’s position in an ambush mission, was flippantly mocked by the defendants, the court said.
Cheng Xinwen, a senior civil tribunal justice of the Court, said publishing these cases was intended to illustrate the essence of socialist core values and encourage the public to respect the country’s heroes, learn from them and care for them.
Cheng cited social mores in the protection of deceased heroes’ reputations.
