Features: On November 1998, the massive Chinese ocean-going vessel "Changsheng" set sail and mysteriously disappeared after three days at sea. All communication was cut off, leaving 23 Chinese seafarers in a life-or-death situation. The disappearance of the ship shocked the world. Within 10 days, a large-scale search operation was launched, stretching from Southeast Asia to Greece and the United States, but the ship vanished without a trace. A later, gruesome corpses were discovered at sea, revealing the truth behind the largest piracy murder and robbery case in China's history. The blood of Chinese seafarers stirred the anger of the police, and an iron net was cast to capture pirates both domestically and abroad. A group of notorious pirates came to light, and a grueling eight-month pursuit began. As the saying goes, crime always faces retribution! On the morning of January 28, 2000, the land of South China could already feel the growing warmth of spring as the new millennium approached. Yet within the walls of the Shantou Intermediate People's Court in Guangdong Province, an army of grim-faced military and police armed with cold weapons stood, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.
