Evidence note
The conviction rests on practitioner-linked reporting; no written judgment, official charge sheet, or independent court-document corroboration was located. No biographical details such as age or occupation were located beyond his Panjin/Panshan origin. Generic “Sun Jian” results referring to the historical warlord 孙坚 are unrelated and excluded.
