March 5, 1971 - Shi Yuejun
Over five days in late September 2006, a series of knife attacks struck Tonghua, Jilin, leaving twelve dead and five wounded before authorities apprehended the man responsible. Shi Yuejun, motivated by personal grievances against his victims, carried out what became one of China's more concentrated spree killings of that decade. He was tried, sentenced to death, and executed within three months of the attacks.
