China Daily记者讲述他们的2016，看完你会有所触动丨解码中国 中国日报网双语新闻 -1- Justice at Last正义终将到来 文丨曹音 My story of 2016 came as the year drew to a close. It featured Zhang Huanzhi, a Hebei province native who spent more than 20 years attempting to clear her dead sons name, and finally succeeded.2016年接近尾声时，我交上了本年度最完满的一份“作业”——河北母亲张焕枝历经20余年为儿翻案，终于昭雪。In 1994, Zhangs son, 21-year-old Nie Shubin, was executed after being convicted of rape and murder. Shortly after the execution, Zhang, who refused to believe that her son committed the crimes, appealed the verdict in the hope of quashing the conviction.1994年，张焕枝年仅21岁的儿子聂树斌因强奸杀人罪被判处、执行死刑。自此，这位母亲走上了伸冤之路，因为她相信她的儿子是清白的。 The case returned to the public eye in 2005, when a man named Wang Shujin was arrested for an alleged rape and murder. While in detention, Wang confessed that he had committed the crimes that cost Nie his life. Following the confession, the judicial bodies in Hebei reopened the investigation into Nies case.2005年，随着一个叫王书金的人的出现，聂树斌案重回公众视线。因为王书金表示，他才是聂案的“真凶”。鉴于王的供述，聂案的相关工作再次启动。 In December 2014, the Supreme Peoples Court, Chinas top judicial body, ordered the Shandong Provincial High Peoples Court to reinvestigate the case. In June, the top body ordered a junior chamber, the Second Circuit Court in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province, to retry the case. On Dec 2, Nies conviction was quashed and his name was cleared, 21 years after his execution.2014年12月，最高人民法院指定山东省高级人民法院管辖聂案，重新对此进行调查。2016年6月，历经近两年的调查，最高人民法院令其第二巡回法庭开庭再审聂案。12月2日，第二巡回法庭因事实不清、证据不足宣告聂树斌无罪。21年后，聂树斌终于昭雪。Zhang wept as the judgment was announced, and shouted: Ive been hoping for this day for a long time, but it wont bring my son back.时间似乎在聂被宣告无罪时停止了。张焕枝听到儿子沉冤昭雪的消息，顿时在法庭上嚎啕大哭起来。“我就是等这一天，我就是要这个结果。”她边哭边说。“但我失去了儿子，我的儿子回不来了。”Watching the weeping mother in the public gallery of the court, I was unable to hold back my tears. The appeal and retrial process were devastating for the 72-year-old because appealing a verdict in Chinas courts is a time-consuming and often heartbrea
