Zhang Shuhai family  張書海

Zhang Shuhai was the head of his family crime group. In the five years between 1996 and 2000, Zhang and his family members, including his younger sister Zhang Yuping and his eldest son Zhang Hongchao, as well as some other mobsters, conducted a series of armed robberies, including two bank robberies, in Zhengzhou, capital city of Henan Province. They took a total of 2.52 million yuan (US$304,000) in loot over the years.

On December 9, 2000, the crime organization netted 2.08 million yuan(US$250,000) from a branch of Guangdong Development Bank in Zhengzhou, by using a hammer to smash the windows, a shotgun to threaten security guards, and explosives as a supplement device to facilitate the process. A security guard was shot dead by Zhang Shuhai. Six suspects, including Zhang Shuhai, Zhang Hongchao and Zhang Yuping were executed immediately after a public trial on Sept. 16, 2001.
