() Someone once said to **An that he didn't know what a big city was without běi jīng, but when he arrived at běi jīng, he found that it was almost no different from Dongning except for the large number of people, cars, and high houses

He has endured a lot of hardships from petitioning from the city to the province, and the people in the Provincial Letters and Visits Bureau are almost aware of him, because he went back two or three times a day, and at the beginning, they still followed the procedures, and then simply ignored him, and even drove him out several times

On the way to petition, he met a lot of people much older than him, and after encountering cold eyes at the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Visits, **An decided to go to běi jīng, according to several old petitioners, only going to běi jīng had an effect, so he bought a hard-seat train ticket and hurriedly got on běi jīng

But as soon as I got here, I knew what it was like to be unfamiliar with life, a metropolis full of unfamiliar faces, and confused emotions arose, but in order to avenge his grandfather and for the people who died in the mine in Longyang County, he must sue and sue to the end

Most of the time in běi jīng, he almost slept in the underground passage, because he didn't have much money on him, and he didn't dare to ask his parents, because he knew very well that his parents would be very worried if they knew that he was coming to petition, and every time he called back, his parents told him to stop suing, and there was no chance of winning the lawsuit

But**Ann remembered what Mr. Cang said, as long as there is light in his heart, the world is not dark, even if the road ahead is confused, he has to come out, he doesn't believe that there is no place to redress grievances in this country, he doesn't believe it

But he soon ran into trouble, although he was frugal, even if he went to live in a small hotel, just to take a bath, every day he ate steamed buns on the side of the road and drank water, either to the gas station to drink tap water, or to the fountain in the park, and a week later, when he found the Letters and Visits Bureau, he had no money on him

After petitioning in the province, he had experience, and he couldn't always go to the Letters and Visits Bureau, because if he went too much, people would be annoyed, so he went to the Běi Jīng Letters and Visits Bureau every three or five times, and the procedure was basically the same as that of the Provincial Letters and Visits Bureau

After registration, it is different from the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Visits, which will gather all their petitioners at one point, and provide them with a free lunch at noon, the content is simple pickles and steamed buns, but what they don't know is that the process of the Letters and Visits Bureau is very simple

After gathering them, notify the local zhèng fǔ to come and lead the people, and if the local zhèng fǔ no one comes, then clear the field, where to go, where to go, no one will care about them

Maybe it's because of the same sickness, ** An eats a free lunch at the center of the Letters and Visits Bureau after every petition, and immediately leaves the center, because he doesn't want to be arrested by the local government, he must wait for a news in běi jīng, which was told to him by an old petitioner from Heilongjiang

Later, he followed the old petitioner surnamed Yang to find a temporary foothold, and everyone called him Lao Yangtou, he came to běi jīng to petition because of the demolition of his hometown, because of the demolition, his son **, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant at the time, because of excessive grief, she had a difficult birth in the delivery room, and the mother and son were not saved

The place zhèng fǔ covers up the facts, and the grass and the human life make the old Yang Tou almost desperate, he is the same as **An, all in order to seek justice, to seek the light of this society, the light of this country

Lao Yang Tou was arrested many times, and then began to fight guerrilla warfare with the local government office in Beijing, and Lao Yang Tou told **An a lot of things, some things that **An couldn't think of, he said that in the Běi Jīng Letters and Visits Bureau, although it received petitioners from other places, it would not deal with it directly, but would only call the local zhèng fǔ to put pressure on the locality

But in any case, it is the best effect that they want to make the local zhèng fǔ feel the pressure, perhaps the number of petitions is wrong, and the old Yang Tou has completely lost hope in this matter, he said that the reason why he stayed in běi jīng was just to not make their zhèng fǔ comfortable, not to make those corrupt officials comfortable, so that they were terrified all the time, and they were always worried about receiving a call from běi jīng

Sometimes when the two of them sleep in the humanoid aisle underground, ** An can always hear the dream words of Lao Yang Tou, in the dream, this old man who is almost sixty years old has a happy home

At that time, ** An was sad and helpless, and he had no hope for this society at all, and he even thought about Mr. Cang's words, constantly talking to himself, is there really any light in this society

Lao Yang Tou was deeply affected, even if he couldn't redress his grievances, he would never let the county zhèng fǔ be better, and he would never let those corrupt officials feel better, so he was with Lao Yang Tou almost all the months in Běi Jīng, and they used Grandpa Mao's guerrilla tactics to the point of being superb, and almost never once was caught by the local government

Until suddenly one day, **An got up to buy breakfast, and when he came back, he saw a group of people wearing "special service" signs surrounding Lao Yangtou, at that time, **An thought that Lao Yangtou had committed a crime and was about to go over to inquire, but the calm old Yang Tou saw him, but suddenly struggled like crazy, and kept shouting at him: "Baby, run, run, run, run."

It wasn't until a few people in uniform walked towards him viciously that ** An reacted, and ran away, I don't know how long it took for the "secret service" to finally disappear behind him, he stopped, gasped, and the people around him were full of strange eyes, at that moment, his nose was sour, and tears couldn't stop flowing, no one knew what he was crying about, and some people even thought he was crazy

After that, he became trembling, and did not dare to go to sleep in the underground sidewalk, and every time he hid in a very safe corner, he would wake up at any time when he slept at night, thinking that those people were coming to arrest him, and since then he has gone to the Letters and Visits Bureau less often, once every two or three days, now once a week

He kept wondering what happened to Lao Yangtou and why he was arrested, could he really commit a crime, and whether he was an accomplice

All kinds of worries came to his mind, he was anxious, he didn't think that walking on the street was like a thief, he found a job in the construction site, and maintained his survival in Běi Jīng, until one day he went to the Běi Jīng Letters and Visits Bureau and met another person, this person was Lao Wang from Hebei, who also came to petition

Hearing **An talk about Lao Yang's arrest, Lao Wangtou cautiously told him that those were not the security guards of a black security company, they were specifically for the local zhèng fǔ in běi jīng to arrest those petitioners, Lao Wang had gone in once, and the experience was very miserable

Lao Wang told him how far away he would be when he encountered this group of people wearing dark blue sè uniforms, wearing "special jǐng" hats, and the word "special service" printed on their badges, and if they were caught, it would be miserable

"Why don't you report jǐng" ** An was indignant at the time, "Is it so lawless in broad daylight?"

"How to report that after Jǐng was arrested, his ID card and mobile phone were immediately confiscated, and then he was detained in a secret location, and no one knew about it," said Lao Wang helplessly

Thinking that the old king was arrested that day, **An suddenly scolded himself in his heart for being so stupid, but he still asked: "Then why didn't you report jǐng after you came out?"

"A lot of people have reported that they were blindfolded when they went in, and they didn't know where they were locked up at all, and it was impossible for them to check such a company without evidence, even if a few people rediscovered these places through impressions such as street signs, they always knew in advance and left their headquarters as early as they did, and they didn't admit to such a thing at all," Wang shook his head

"Then nothing will happen to that old Yang head," Ann worried

"Beating and scolding is for sure," Lao Wang blurted out, "Men are fine, if women are really miserable, hey, but in the end, they will all be sent to the local government, either to notify the local government office in Beijing, or their company will directly send someone back."

**An nodded, and when he learned that Lao Yang Tou would be fine, he felt a little more comfortable in his heart, but when he thought of being such a good person, Lao Yang Tou would suffer this crime at such an old age** Anxin scolded them for being a brute, but he didn't seem to have any other way to help Lao Yang Tou except scolding them

At that moment, Ann suddenly felt that the so-called justice seemed to only appear on TV, and in reality it would always be just bloody and cruel

Although since then, ** An has been careful not to even tell anyone about the construction site where he works, but there is still a rì after coming out of the Letters and Visits Bureau, he encountered this group of black security guards, just like in the movie, a van drove up to him, and several big men in uniform arrested him

In the car, ** An struggled to shout for help, but as soon as he shouted a few words, he was slapped twice by one of the big men, and he was completely stunned, followed by a fierce threat, at that moment** An finally understood Lao Wang's helplessness, everything on his body was taken away, including the 100 yuan Nokia mobile phone

He was then taken under a hood to a small hotel, which was completely different from a normal hotel, with the basement-like surroundings completely sealed

In the two days in the small hotel, they were rough with ** at every turn, as long as they were not satisfied with any dissatisfaction, they would be a few slaps, and finally handed him a booklet and asked him to memorize all the contents of it, and if he didn't memorize it, he would be killed

**Ann saw that the contents of the booklet were all brainwashing-style things, the purpose was to make him not come in the future, and the petition was almost the same as the pyramid scheme, but the difference was that the pyramid scheme was to brainwash people in a seductive way, and here it was to use violence to make people succumb psychologically

**Ann suddenly laughed, the only time in so many days that Běi Jīng showed a smile, he frantically tore the pamphlet to shreds, and yelled at several security personnel: "Kill me, kill me, you don't want me to memorize a word"
