Tian Mingjian incident
The Tian Mingjian incident was an act of mass murder that occurred in Beijing, China on September 20, 1994, when People's Liberation Army officer First Lieutenant Tian Mingjian (Chinese: 田明建) first killed his officer as well as his battalion of 24 at his military base in Tongxian County and afterwards drove towards Jianguomen, where he continued his shooting spree and indiscriminately fired at people in the streets. Dozens were killed and wounded, including an Iranian diplomat and his son, before Lt. Tian was finally shot dead by a police sniper.〔(Police Identify Gunman As Member Of Chinese Army, ''The Seattle Times'' ) (September 21, 1994)〕〔(Details surface on Chinese officer's shooting spree ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'' (September 24, 1994)〕〔(Ex-Chinese military officers protest over "work, life issues", ''BBC'' ) (July 9, 2008)〕
==Background==
Tian Mingjian (born in 1964) was a First Lieutenant stationed at an army base in Tongxian County, a suburb of Beijing. He had been in the military for over ten years, originally as a sharpshooter and was highly skilled in the military technology field. He was once promoted to regimental staff officer for military affairs but due to his bad temper and irritability was eventually demoted to acting company commander. At the time of the shooting he served in this position in the 12th Regiment of the Third Guards Division of the Beijing Garrison Command.〔Case of soldier shooting people in Beijing results in stepping down of commander and political commissar of Beijing Garrison Garrison Command, ''Lien Ho Pao'' (December 7, 1994), in (Summary of World Broadcasts: Asia, Pacific, Part 3 ); British Broadcasting Corporation, 06. 12. 1994〕 He was said to have violated discipline by beating other soldiers and had a grievance against his superiors for being reprimanded about this.
Tian was married but due to his demotion his wife was not allowed to live with him at the base. He sent gifts to the regimental political commissar, who then promised to help him in this matter, but two days prior to the shooting the commissar returned the gifts and hinted that he would punish Tian.〔Beijing Garrison Commander, Political Commissar Dismissed in the Wake of Jianguomen Shooting Incident, ''Lien Ho Pao'' (February 7, 1995), in (Daily Report: People's Republic of China, Iss. 21-30 ); National Technical Information Service, 1995.〕
It was also reported that Tian had a quarrel with his superiors because they had forced his wife to have an abortion when she was pregnant with their second child. Due to the One Child Policy in China, most people are not allowed to have more than one child. Tian already had a daughter but he came from the rural area in Henan Province where people hold a strong traditional cultural value that not having a son is among the Three Biggest Failures in a man's life. Thus Tian secretly planned on having a son until someone in the army revealed his plan and the birth control officer forced his wife to have an abortion. By this time his wife was already seven months pregnant and died during the operation along with the unborn fetus (later discovered to be a boy).〔Moody, Peter R.: (China Documents Annual ); Academic International Press, 1994.〕
