"Would you fight back if attacked again?" This question follows restaurant owner Ms. Zhang, whose four-year legal battle—starting as a "mutual assault" case and ending with a judicial win for justifiable self-defense—has become a symbol of China's legal evolution.
In 2020, Ms. Zhang countered drunk customer Liu's unprovoked attack with a beer bottle. Police initially fined her, but a 2024 retrial overturned the penalty, criticizing the "split-the-difference" approach. The case pushed draft revisions to the Public Security Law to explicitly recognize self-defense in administrative contexts, unifying protections across legal systems.
Experts note this bridges a gap in administrative law, while challenges remain in defining "defensive limits." The story shows how individual justice fights can drive systemic change, ensuring laws protect those who defend themselves.
