Duan Yihe (Chinese: 段义和; pinyin: Duàn Yìhé; January 17, 1946 – September 5, 2007) was a Chinese politician and a senior lawmaker in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province. He was a member of the 10th National People's Congress and served as Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Jinan Municipal People's Congress from 2001 to 2007. Duan, together with his nephew-in-law, was executed in September 2007 for murdering his mistress, who was killed by a car bomb. It is considered one of the most shocking crimes involving a Chinese official. Duan was the sixth provincial-ministerial level official to be executed in China since 1978.
At 5 pm on July 9, 2007, a powerful remote-controlled bomb exploded in a Honda sedan on Jianshe Road in central Jinan. The explosion instantly killed the car's driver, Liu Haiping, whose upper torso landed more than 20 metres (66 ft) away. The bomb also injured two passers-by. A photograph of the blackened skeleton of the Honda sedan went viral on the Internet.
Duan was arrested just four days after the bombing. Liu, a divorced woman, had been his mistress for 13 years. She had worked as a waitress in the cafeteria of the People's Congress, but was elevated to the position of a mid-level government official after she became Duan's mistress. He had bought her a house and used his power to secure jobs for her relatives. However, Liu kept asking for more money and demanded that Duan divorce his wife and marry her, which would have seriously damaged his government career. To get rid of her, Duan asked policeman Chen Zhi (陈志), the husband of his niece, to create a "traffic accident". Chen Zhi then enlisted Chen Changbing (陈常兵), owner of a local auto repair shop, to help plant the bomb in Liu's car.
