First of all, criminal appeal means that the complainant thinks that there is an error in the criminal judgment or ruling that has taken legal effect, and raises an objection to the people's court or the people's procuratorate with jurisdiction, and the corresponding people's court initiates a retrial and retries the case. Second, appeals are examined and handled by the Court of Final Appeal. If the complaint is rejected, you can appeal to the people's court at the next higher level. One thing to note is: complaints in litigation. When appealing, the complainant can ask a lawyer for help. In civil cases and economic cases, you can also ask a lawyer to represent the complainant. For non-litigation complaints, if they belong to civil disputes such as economic contract disputes or damages, mediation and arbitration can be used to solve them. According to the provisions of the Lawyers Law and the Civil Procedure Law, the complainant may entrust a lawyer as his agent. For other complaints, lawyers can only write complaints on their behalf, provide legal and policy advice, and cannot accept entrustment and represent litigation; Second, during the appeal period, the original judgment or ruling will not be suspended; Third, if the complaint is justified, the president shall submit it to the judicial Committee for discussion and decision whether to retry.

Article 180 If a people's procuratorate decides not to prosecute a case with a victim, it shall serve the decision not to prosecute on the victim.
