Among them, two defendants, He Moukui and Wang Mouyuan, were respectively sentenced to eleven years in prison and ten years in prison for the crime of human trafficking, and each compensated the plaintiff Li Jingwei for economic losses of 50000 yuan in the incidental civil lawsuit.
Li Jingwei was emotionally excited at the scene and shed tears several times. He stated that he is not satisfied with the criminal part and civil compensation of this verdict and will apply for a protest and appeal.

On June 21st, Li Jingwei told Pengpai News that he received two responses to the People's Procuratorate's Protest Request in Yanjin County, Yunnan Province on the evening of the 21st. The procuratorate deemed the first instance judgment to comply with legal provisions and decided not to protest.
The Reply shows that on June 15, 2023, Li Jingwei requested the court to protest against the first instance judgment of He Moukui's case of human trafficking. According to Article 229 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, after examination, this court considers that He Moukui was sentenced to eleven years in prison, and the first instance judgment complies with legal provisions, and has decided not to appeal.

Another "Reply" shows that the procuratorate believes that Wang Mouyuan was sentenced to ten years in prison, and the first instance judgment complies with legal provisions, so it has decided not to protest.
According to one of the "Explanation of Reasons for Non Protest by the People's Procuratorate of Yanjin County, Yunnan Province" provided by Li Jingwei, regarding the issue of legal application, the "Explanation of Reasons for Non Protest" states that the case occurred in 1989, and according to the principle of both leniency and leniency stipulated in Article 12 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the 1979 Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China should be applied to this case. According to Article 141 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China in 1979, those who engage in human trafficking shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years; Those with serious circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years. According to Article 40 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China in 1979, the term of fixed-term imprisonment is between six months and fifteen years. Therefore, it is not inappropriate to sentence the defendant He Moukui to fixed-term imprisonment.
Regarding the issue of sentencing the defendant, the "Statement of Reasons for Not Protesting" states that in this case, the defendant He Moukui and others stole a child for the purpose of selling, which is a serious offense. However, he truthfully confessed his criminal facts after arriving at the case and had a candid plot. Based on this, the People's Court of Yanjin County, Yunnan Province sentenced the defendant He Moukui to eleven years in prison in the Criminal Adjunctive Civil Judgment, which fully considered He Moukui's criminal facts and sentencing circumstances, met the legal provisions, and was not inappropriate.
According to a previous report by Pengpai News, in 2021, Li Jingwei became even more determined to search for his family after seeing Guo Gangtang and Sun Haiyang's successful search for their son. Based on his impression, he spent ten minutes drawing a hand-painted picture of his hometown and posting it online. He thought it would take several years, but soon found information about his suspected biological mother in Zhaotong, Yunnan. Before Li Jingwei was abducted, his cousin and aunt were also abducted at the age of 14 and 13 respectively, and sold to an "old man" who was twenty or thirty years older than them. Their father was also beaten and injured during the search for his family and passed away.
