In plain words
Joking about heroes and martyrs, the national flag or the national anthem brings, in light cases, detention of 5 to 10 days (拘留) or a fine of 1,000 to 3,000 CNY. In heavier cases, detention of 10 to 15 days. When it amounts to a crime, the sentence is up to 3 years. Someone posted 2 messages slandering Yuan Longping in a 499-member village WeChat group and was sentenced to 6 months of public surveillance (管制), which means he was not locked up but his movements were restricted.
