It took three decades for police in China to solve the case in which 11 women were raped and murdered.
The killings took place between 1988 and 2002 in which the women were also robbed and disfigured during the ordeals that all took place in Baiyin City, China's Gansu province.
On April 25, the 53-year-old was prosecuted for the crimes following his arrest in August last year.
He appeared at the trial this week to plead guilty to his crimes. He is set to be sentenced next week, reports iFeng.
Yesterday he bowed three times as a sign of apology and respect to the families of the victims.
The man said he gained a sense of satisfaction from killing and carried out further murders

The families are each seeking compensation from Gao for the cost of their child's funeral and also for the 'pain caused by their loss'. Some are asking for one million yuan (£113,000).
His lawyer said that Gao told him that if he is unable to compensate the families, he is willing to donate his organs.
Last year, Gao was revealed to be the killer after a relative committed a crime and their DNA was taken. The DNA was incredibly close to that of the serial killer.
They tested those family members of the relative and Gao was confirmed to be the 'Chinese Jack the Ripper'.
It was then that police found his DNA matched that of the killer they had been looking for.
Gao later confessed his actions to police, saying that he committed the first murder by accident in 1988.
He tried to steal a radio from a 23-year-old woman while she was sleeping and killed her after she woke up.
He pleaded guilty to 11 counts of murder which took place between 1988 and 2002

The man said he gained a sense of satisfaction from killing and carried out further murders - 10 over 14 years.
One victim was just 8-years-old.
He said that if he found the victim attractive then he would rape them otherwise he would just cut their throat.
For those that tried to resist him, Gao would disfigure them.
Some victims also had their reproductive organs removed.
A local police officer told CGTN that Gao could remember all of the details of the killings: 'He was way too calm, showing no regrets or guilt.'
Gao is married with children making his actions even more bizarre. The family have since cut ties with the man and have refused to meet his lawyer.
The man has been dubbed the Chinese 'Jack the Ripper'.
The original Jack the Ripper was a serial killer active in east London in the late Victorian era.
He is widely believed to have murdered five women, mutilating several of them. Those killings have never been solved.
