Again it has been proved drinking is a starter of trouble.

Lian is a 32 year old returnee with a master’s degree. On June 6, 2015, Lian returned to his home after drinking with his friends. He was so drunk that he first got into a fight with security and then he went to the wrong floor where a real tragedy occurred.

Lian lives in the room 1404 on the 14th floor. On a night that he was drunk, Lian went to the 10th floor and mistook room 1004 as his home. When he tried to open the door by jamming his key into the keyhole, the owner of the house surnamed Jiang was awakened and came to the door to check. Tragically, drunk Lian thought Jiang was a thief who broke into his home and started to beat him very hard. After Jiang passed out, Lian went inside Jiang’s home and fell asleep until the police came and arrested him.

Jiang was beyond rescue after he got sent to the hospital. Lian was sentenced to 10 years in prison with a 500,000 yuan fine. Though it was an incident of occasionality, the court still found Lian guilty of the crime for intentionally injuring another which resulted in death.
