Chu Minyi was tried in court On April 22, 1946, the Jiangsu High Court tried Chu Minyi, a key official of the Wang puppet government. At 1:40 pm, the judicial police used a carriage to pick up Chu Minyi from the detention center. Chu Minyi was wearing a brown-patterned silk gown, black leather shoes, gray hair, and haggard face. He tried to calm himself and held a black cap to shade the sun. After getting out of the car, he was taken to court. The sentencing process was very simple. The chief judge announced in court. The main text was: "Chu Minyi colluded with the enemy country and attempted to resist the country. He was sentenced to death and deprived of public rights for life. All assets, except for the necessary living expenses of his family, were confiscated." Chu Minyi was startled when he heard the execution sentence and his face turned white, but he immediately forced himself to calm down and said to the court: "I have a few words to say. I just heard that the chief judge sentenced him to death in accordance with Article 1 and Item 1 of Article 2 of the Regulations on Punishing Traitors. I felt very satisfied, and the prosecutor could also be satisfied, as could ordinary people who sang the praises of punishing traitors. I have been sentenced to death and do not seek a retrial or a reduction of the crime. However, I am not far away from death and have no chance to speak in the future. I request that I say what I say." As he spoke, he took out a speech from his pocket, titled "Thoughts on the Judgment." When it was stopped by the court, he said,"In accordance with the law, it is not convenient to defend again. If you have any opinions, you can submit them to this court and transfer them to the Supreme Court within ten days after receiving the judgment. There is no need to say more now." Immediately ordered the judicial police to detain Chu.
