1904: Wang Weiqin, by lingchi
October 31st, 2020 Headsman
On this date in 1904, Wang Weiqin, an official who killed two families, was put to death in Beijing by lingchi (slow slicing, or death by a thousand cuts).
This execution is distinguished by its late date and, consequently, the photographs taken of it; needless to say, it is Mature Content below.
Several equally ghastly photographs of this event can be browsed here.
