What is the content stipulated in Article 234 of the Criminal Law?

Article 234 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that whoever intentionally harms another person's body shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or serious disability by particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail. Note: the crime of intentional injury refers to the act of intentionally hurting the health of others. The objective constitutive requirements of this crime are: (1) The object of action is others. Whoever hurts his body is not guilty of intentional injury; Self-mutilation infringes on the legitimate interests of the state or society, and when it violates the criminal law, it may constitute other crimes, such as the crime of self-mutilation in wartime as stipulated in Article 434 of the Criminal Law. (2) The behavior of the actor must be illegal. If it is a legal medical act, it cannot constitute this crime. (3) It must damage the health of others, including damage to personal tissues and damage to the normal function of body organs; The degree of injury is divided into three grades: minor injury, serious injury and death. If the damage is slight, it belongs to the case of public security management punishment and does not constitute a criminal offence. The subjective aspect of this crime is intention, that is, knowing, hoping or letting go of the injury result. If there is only the intention of beating, with the purpose of causing temporary physical pain or slight nerve stimulation, the intention of injury cannot be determined. Similarly, in the case of beating causing death, it should not be considered as intentional injury causing death. This article should pay attention to draw the following two boundaries: (1) the boundary between intentional injury and intentional homicide. The main difference between the two crimes lies in whether illegally depriving others of their lives is intentional. If the perpetrator does not intentionally deprive others of their lives, but intentionally harms others' health, even if the behavior leads to others' death, he can only be convicted of intentional injury; If the perpetrator intentionally and illegally deprives others of their lives, even if his behavior does not cause others to die, it also constitutes the crime of intentional homicide (attempted). (2) The boundary between the crime of intentional injury and the crime of causing serious injury through negligence. Subjectively, the crime of causing serious injury by negligence requires that the result of causing serious injury to others can constitute a crime; The crime of intentional injury is subjective and intentional, even if it causes minor injuries, it also constitutes intentional injury.
