The case began after Sun, the family patriarch from the city of Tianjin in northern China, died in March 2025, according to the Henan Broadcasting System.
Before his death, he had transferred ownership of a three million yuan property solely to his son.
He also left a statement requesting that his son provide 'reasonable compensation' to his adopted daughter.

'Our daughter is adopted, but we have always treated her as our own. In our later years, it was our son who took care of us. We gave the house to him, and he intends to compensate his sister. We hope you two can get along like true siblings,' the statement read.

Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura molested interpreter, Hong Kong court hears
Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura molested a female interpreter and made unwelcome advances after a fan event in Hong Kong earlier this year, a court has heard. Kamimura, a former member of Japanese boy band ONE N' ONLY, returned to West Kowloon Court on Wednesday to stand trial for a count of indecent assault arising from an alleged incident at Ming Kee Restaurant in Mong Kok in the early hours of March 2. The courtroom was packed on Wednesday, with the 316 tickets set aside for public seating all distributed. Most of the public attendees were from mainland China and arrived with luggage and bulky-looking backpacks. Some of them were told off by security staff for trying to make instant noodles during court adjournments. The complainant, who testified for the prosecution through a live video link, said she had provided interpretation for Kamimura and 20-year-old Japanese actor Junsei Motojima during a fan meeting at Regala Skycity Hotel the previous day. The court heard the two celebrities and their assistants had gone to the restaurant to celebrate the event's success. The interpreter said Kamimura repeatedly made swiping and tapping motions to touch her left thigh after joining her table of nine people.

Chinese police mount Xinjiang manhunt for fugitive wanted over wounding of 2 people
Police in China's far western region of Xinjiang are appealing for the public's help to find a fugitive wanted over the wounding of two people near the border with Kazakhstan. The authorities did not offer a motive for the attacks but the incident is one of the few publicly reported cases in recent years of intentional harm in Xinjiang – a region that is strictly controlled and politically sensitive. Police are searching for a 29-year-old herder identified as Kasitiele wanted in relation to the attack last Thursday in Huojierte Mongol ethnic township in Emin county. The man is a resident of the county's Woyijiayilao Pasture on the outskirts of Tacheng prefecture, an area in northern Xinjiang close to the border with Kazakhstan. The pasture is home to 14 ethnic groups, including Han, Kazakh, Hui and Kyrgyz, with ethnic minorities accounting for over 90 per cent of the population. Police in neighbouring Yumin county said on Wednesday that both victims of the attack were in a stable condition and did not have life-threatening injuries. They urged the public to report any relevant information and 'to not believe, create or spread rumours'.
