It is often said that "people are born as human beings, free and equal", but from the moment everyone is born, they are doomed to be unequal and impossible to be equal.
This kind of inequality is now concentrated in a meeting on "How to deal with Yu Hao's 'taking' other people's things". There were three participants: the counselor, the dean of education, and the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the college.
Around this issue, students had a heated discussion with the purpose of returning their innocence and getting to the bottom of the truth.
Of course, the parties were not invited to participate in their discussions.
"Everyone is here, so I'll start. First of all, let's briefly talk about classmate Yu Hao, a boy, a local. When he was five years old, there were some changes in the family. His parents left him and he was raised by his grandmother. Growing up, no other relatives."
"During the third year of high school, Yu Hao's grandmother was sick in bed. He died in the afternoon after his college entrance examination. He sold the house, had a funeral, paid off a few debts, and simply packed up his belongings before coming to school. If you have registered, your grades in the college entrance examination are average, otherwise, you will not go to our school.”
"I made a brief observation during the military training, and the child hardly talked to anyone. After the military training, his life was really difficult. He found the work-study center of the Ministry of Education and Industry, and got the opportunity of a part-time tutor to tutor a sixth-grade child. English… "
"...The result? After less than two months, the parents came to the college and said that when he was studying, he took a watch from the study while the child was not paying attention."
While listening to the counselor's introduction, the dean wiped his glasses with a flannel. There was Yu Hao's materials in front of him. He fixed his eyes and said, "I looked at his file. Does this classmate still have a criminal record?"
"Uh, he took his classmate's wallet once in junior high school. This was written in the file, but because he was not an adult, he finally let it go."
The dean put on his reading glasses, picked up the materials, and slapped the table almost angrily to express his dissatisfaction.
"Last Friday, the parents brought the police over to find out the situation. Oh-yo! Oh my God! The students in the entire department pointed and pointed. I was at the door and couldn't answer a word when asked. Come out! A watch worth 60,000 yuan, 60,000! The sentence will take several years! This matter, the dean said, must! Be sure to find out! It must be dealt with seriously! Don’t take chances!”
The counselor gave a "um", and had no hope of making big things a little smaller, and he couldn't escape the deduction of bonuses.
The secretary of the Youth League Committee is a young girl. She is focused on sending WeChat messages. She raised her head and asked the counselor, "How is his campus life? Does he have any friends? Can you learn about it from the side?"
"Yu Hao lives in dormitory 405. There are seven people in the dormitory, three physical education classes, and four psychology classes. They generally report that Yu Hao has a bit of hatred for the rich. He rarely communicates with them, saying that he is poor. Military training After it was over, there were several less serious conflicts between roommates."
"Doesn't your roommate like him?"
"Life is difficult, you can't play together, you can't be isolated, and you rarely talk."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a boy entered the conference room. The physical education department was 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing sports clothes. He had just finished training. He had short red hair and was covered in sweat. The secretary of the Youth League Committee handed him a bottle of water. , The boy took it and took a few sips.
The Secretary of the Youth League Committee asked, "Isn't it called Xiao Fu Lai? Why are you?"
The leader of a conference room looked at the boy with red hair in disgust.
"Zhou Sheng, you still haven't cut your hair." The dean pointed to the red-haired boy named Zhou Sheng and said, "Dye it back for me!"
"It's good to grow." Zhou Sheng said impatiently, "Fu Liqun has a game in the afternoon, let me come to the meeting for him." , asked: "What's the matter?"
The secretary of the Youth League Committee said helplessly: "We originally found the basketball captain of our college. He helped the Youth League Committee and the Academic Affairs Department to run errands and do some student work. Yu Hao's work-study form was recommended by him... Zhou Sheng, do you know Yu Hao? Tell the teachers?"
Zhou Sheng thought for a while and shook his head.
"Yu Hao? We don't know him well in the dormitory, right? Fu Liqun recommended him because he was on the edge of the court and watched him pour tap water. Guess his life is difficult, so let him find a part-time job. Ask him What can he do? He said that after graduating from the college entrance examination, he worked as a tutor for primary school students. It happened that Fu Liqun was helping the Ministry of Education and Engineering to run errands. By the way, he helped him get a form and asked him to fill it out and hand it in... Is that so? I heard ."
Secretary of the Youth League Committee: "How do you feel about him?"
Zhou Sheng looked at the secretary of the Youth League Committee suspiciously, and said casually, "I didn't speak."
There was silence in the conference room for a while, Zhou Sheng thought about it, and then added: "It seems that he looks okay, Fu Liqun said that his English is good, but his science is seriously lacking."
The secretary signaled that he could leave. After Zhou Sheng left with the bottle of water, the dean asked again, "At that time, this watch was found in his bag?"
Counselor: "It was his roommate who discovered it first. Last Thursday, I saw him playing with his watch in his bedroom."
Dean of Education: "Is it on my hands in a grand manner?"
The counselor didn't know either, so he could only shake his head.
"Is there any surveillance?"
"Mr. Shi's home is not monitored."
"I said, when I took it out of him."
"There is surveillance. In my office, as soon as I asked him, he took it out and gave it to me."
The secretary of the Youth League Committee nodded and said, "At least there is no denial."
The dean said helplessly: "Can this be denied? How to deny it? Did he admit his mistake?"
The counselor replied regretfully, "I don't admit it, he said that someone framed the blame for him. But according to the situation reported by the elementary school students, she saw with her own eyes that Yu Hao turned away from the bookcase where the watches were stored."
Secretary of the Youth League Committee: "Could it be that the child is playing tricks on him? For example, making a joke with him and putting the watch in his bag?"
"I can't rule out this possibility. But Yu Hao... how do you say it? He also pursues material things. He applied for a subsidy for poor students, but he used an iPhone. The next day, he was outside the back door of the school, where he collected gold and mobile phones. I asked the stall owner to look at the watch and wanted to sell the watch, but in the end I didn’t sell it, I don’t know if there is any remorse.”
The secretary of the Youth League Committee did not speak.
The dean said angrily: "Naughty! It's so naughty! Is there a record of selling the watch? Is there any monitoring?"
The counselor said helplessly: "The police made a recording for the stall owner and sorted it into the materials."
The dean: "Xiao Xue, I'll just ask you, he's your student, do you think you've wronged him? Just tell the truth. No one of us will say anything out of this conference room."
The counselor thought that I wouldn't take the blame, and made a cryptic statement: "Even if he doesn't take it, the act of wanting to let go is a bit, um, a bit... Mr. Li, what do you think?"
The secretary of the Youth League Committee said: "The average person finds that they have more valuables in their bags, and they think about returning them for the first time. This child... ah..."
The dean suddenly thought of something, got nervous, and asked again, "The other parent didn't find the media, right? Whose content is in the hands of now?"
"That's not true." The counselor immediately clarified, "The testimony and evidence are all with the police, and everyone doesn't want to make things worse, but if the college doesn't give an explanation, it's hard to say."
Teaching Director: "It must be dealt with as soon as possible, cut through the mess quickly, and leave things alone, otherwise the impact will be too bad."
The secretary of the Youth League Committee asked, "Mr. Xue, when the parents came to the door, according to your observation, did Yu Hao feel ashamed?"
The counselor hesitated for a while, and he didn't know whether to say something.
After a while, the counselor said, "His expression was calm, maybe because he didn't make a conclusion? I promised him that I would definitely check it out. I also arranged for the classmates in their dormitory to pay attention to his every move."
The secretary of the Youth League Committee said "um" and said, "After returning to the dormitory, the attitude may be different."
The counselor thought for a long time, and finally said that.
"Yu Hao said in dormitory 405 that this family is rich. Why is he so poor, and some people are so rich? He also suspects that their family has an illegal source of income. Last night, the lights were turned off. Afterwards, he chatted with his roommate in the upper bunk and made a complaint, saying that they wronged him and wanted to kill the father and daughter. The roommate took a screenshot and posted it to me, ah."
The counselor turned on the phone and let them see it. The dean took off his glasses and held the phone in one hand, sighing with emotion.
The counselor replayed the surveillance video recorded on the mobile phone. The surveillance footage in the office was very blurry. The client did not come. Yu Hao turned his back to the camera and just stood quietly and listened. He didn't act aggressively.
The dean suddenly became excited and said, "This is antisocial personality disorder! Look, look? Especially when you hand over your watch, that attitude! It's obvious that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, so it doesn't matter!"
Secretary of the Youth League Committee: "If you have been wronged, talk about it in a rage, it's actually fine..."
The dean of education interrupted: "It was recorded in the archives that I stole things from my classmates, which is a repeat offense. Depending on the actual situation, if you really can't do it, you should persuade him to quit. After persuading him to quit, hand it over to the police station to deal with it, so don't irritate him."
The counselor felt that this approach seemed a bit too simplistic and rude, but he was also relieved. In fact, what he always wanted was the director's words.
If the school can't teach it, let the society teach it. After entering the society, you will know how tolerant the school is. Otherwise, if there is another Ma Jiajue, it will be troublesome.
The counselor added: "Tomorrow, the police will come again. Based on the investigation results of the other party, I will first write a declaration material, try to be as detailed as possible, and attach the transcript of the police station, so that he can confirm it and then sign it."
Originally, the conversation had ended, but the Secretary of the Youth League Committee couldn't help but ask one last question.
"Why doesn't the roommate like him? Is it just because he's more difficult?"
The counselor thought for a long time and finally said.
"They said that Yu Hao was gay."
The Secretary of the Youth League Committee also wanted to ask "How did they know?", but in the end she did not ask.
"The times are different," the dean said. "This kind of exclusion is still there. Boys have their own rules, and everyone can't be asked to treat this with kindness. But this matter, whether homosexual or heterosexual. Well, any kind of love is fine, I don't think it matters."
The counselor was busy answering yes, so the three of them ended the meeting.
In the spring and autumn seasons of Ying City, it has been selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in central China, and it has also appeared on the cover of "National Geographic". Huazhong Institute of Science and Technology Education is located in the remote north of the city. It has been nearly 20 years since this three-level college was established. A few years ago, people often came to Ginkgo Valley in the back of the college to take wedding photos.
The stadium is separated from the back mountain by a wall. The teachers and their families fly kites on the stadium with their children. In the autumn afternoon, once the blue sky is clear and the sun is shining, after waking up from a nap, accompanied by the sound of children's chasing and fighting as the background sound, it is really a big killer that makes people forget time.
Yu Hao carried a bulging backpack on his back, and wore a jacket with both hands in his pockets. He left the dormitory and walked straight across the playground.
His face was pale, and his lips lacked blood from his long-term vegetarian diet. The hair is messy, and there is no time to cut it. The wind blew over, revealing his gloomy profile, his eyebrows were like two willow leaves in the wind, and the thin figure under the jacket shrank slightly in the autumn wind.
Recently, he often had a strange dream, dreaming that he was standing on a high wall of the Great Wall, looking down, the bottom of his feet was endless darkness, and someone was pushing him behind him.
He passed the back campus along a straight road that divided the back campus in two, with six basketball courts on the left and football fields on the right. Some time ago, when he was after school, he would go to the football field to memorize words and watch a group of big boys train.
A certain boy who often practices triathlon here is very eye-catching. His red hair is full of arrogant vitality in the bleak winter. Apart from triathlon, he is also the striker of the academy team. But today Yu Hao didn't see him.
After a short stay, he left the track and field, faced the campus wall, stood for a while, and then walked along the wall, all the way to the fence leading to the back mountain. After turning to the equipment room, a voice stopped him.
"Hey, is there a fire? Borrow a fire."
Ming Lang's male voice sounded, and Yu Hao couldn't help stunned.
It was the red-haired boy who practiced triathlon that Yu Hao often saw!
At this point, he was hiding behind the equipment room, tossing a lighter to and fro, with short, red-dyed hair, wearing dirty blue tracksuits, and his trousers rolled up to his knees, apparently just after training.
For the first time talking face to face, Yu Hao suddenly realized that this guy looked a bit like a thug.
There are a lot of gangsters in the three colleges and universities. In the Academy of Science and Education, most of them don't want to study, they fall in love and fall in love, they mix with Internet cafes, and they gamble with money. Yu Hao handed him the windproof lighter in his pocket, the red hair was lit, and the back of the equipment room was filled with the smell of inferior cigarettes.
The thug handed him one, Yu Hao waved his hand, indicating that he would not smoke, but only took the lighter. He looked at this man, the gangster looked handsome and handsome, not white, but his skin was very good, he was half a head taller than Yu Hao, but his figure was not tall and straight. The faint scars mean that they don't look very clean, the smell of sweat on the body is very pungent, and the clothes have not been washed for a few days.
He has heard his name, Zhou Sheng from the Department of Physical Education next door, Wen Huanhuan's name and clear and clear voice, when matched with this appearance, people always feel a sense of contrast. Last week, when Yu Hao went to the college to hand in the application form for poor students, this guy was in the hallway, and was taught by the secretary of the Youth League Committee that he had to dye his hair back and shave it short, so he shaved an inch.
"A smell of hot pot." Zhou Sheng sniffed and said, "Have you eaten hot pot?"
Yu Hao ignored him, took the lighter, still put it in his pocket, walked around the equipment room and left, Zhou Shengyuan took a look, and when he got to the side of the court, smoking a cigarette, rolled his trousers to his knees, and sat watching them play basketball.
Not long after Yu Hao left, the basketball captain came, waved to Zhou Sheng, and shouted, "Red Hair!"
Zhou Sheng put the cigarette in the trash can, took off his sportswear, revealing his strong and naked muscles, and stepped forward to join them.
Yu Hao walked for about ten minutes, came to the back of the physical education department and between the wall, found the hole leading to the back mountain, threw his backpack over the wall, and climbed over. He went back along the fence and reached the hill opposite the stadium, where there was an abandoned concrete house with a fence for clearing fallen leaves at the door.
He pushed open the iron door, and there were several wooden boxes piled up in the room, an iron bucket for burning garbage in the center, and a layer of worn-out mattresses on the ground.
There were two windows in the room, all dusty and dusty, and sunlight poured into the concrete room through the dusty glass windows.
Yu Hao lit a stove in the room.
The flames jumped from the furnace, and he sat aside and watched for a while. If there is any regret in my short life, it is that I have never been in love - even if it is only for a few days.
It has never been, and in my own state, I no longer expect to have it.
You can't get it when you're young, and in a few years, you'll be able to survive, and you won't get it when you're old.
He put on headphones, played Li Ronghao's "Sing While Walking" on his mobile phone, took out a medicine bottle, took a few Valium tablets, drank half a bottle of water, lay on the mattress, and closed his eyes.
Outside the concrete room, there were cheers from the basketball court in the distance. I don't know who hit a three-pointer, grabbed a rebound, or dunked handsomely... Children's voices were laughter and presumptuous. In a gust of wind, ginkgo leaves were all over the floor. Was rolled up and flew around.
In the face of death, everything is finally equal. You cannot be chosen at birth, but at least you can decide whether to leave this world.
Yu Hao thought to himself, this is also one of the manifestations of freedom and equality.
In the darkness, his consciousness gradually moved away from his body, the music faded, and the surroundings suddenly became clear, a huge city wall winding endlessly, leading to the sky, mountains towering, and the world was pitch black.
Before this day, he had imagined the world after death countless times. Since his grandmother died, he has searched for many legends of death. He does not believe in ghosts, nor does he believe in so-called heaven and hell. Pseudo-scientific explanation of the soul once was: the human soul exists in the high-dimensional space, the body is destroyed after death, but the mind still exists.
He reluctantly accepted this explanation. Anyway, there is no hope in life, and there is nothing or nothing after death, and it is not unacceptable. But he never imagined that his consciousness was still clear at this moment, and the surrounding environment seemed so real.
The Great Wall stands tall, and outside the wall is a dark abyss, and there is a low roar, like a monster roaring. The sky and the earth are vast, the mountains are undulating, and the insignificant he stands on the top of the city wall as high as 30 meters, becoming a small black spot between the heaven and the earth.
Yu Hao was suddenly at a loss, he looked down at his feet, and saw as if some monster was climbing up along the city wall.
The darkness made him dizzy for a while, and nearly fell into the darkness.
"What's wrong with living, why do you want to die?"
Suddenly, a cold metal hand from behind grabbed him, Yu Hao shouted in horror, turned his head, and stepped back subconsciously, a man in full iron armor appeared in front of him.
