Comfort Women's Japanese Aberdeen (novella) Zhang Baotong 2017.12.22

The truth of the matter was a huge spiritual damage to Luo Shanxue, which made him completely disillusioned with all hope in his heart, and he felt as if he had been nailed to the frame of shame, and he would never see the light of day.

In the past, when someone called him Japanese boy, he would scold others and say, "You are Japanese boy." However, after knowing his life experience, when others scolded him again, he pretended not to hear it, and avoided it without looking back. This made him more and more lonely and inferior, always alone, for fear of being with others, for some reason, he would be called Japanese boy. The name Nippon Tsai poked him in the heart like a knife, making him feel humiliated and ashamed, and felt that there was no point in living.

Spending days by day under the discrimination and humiliation of his classmates made Luo Shanxue lose interest in going to school and felt disgusted, but he couldn't go to school because he was still too young to stay in the fields or stay at home all day like his father and mother. But he wished he could stay in the fields or at home all day, so that his classmates would not come to his fields and homes to humiliate him and discriminate against him.

When I was in the third grade, one day, Mr. Zhou taught the students to learn a song called "Singing the Second Little Cowherd", the teacher copied the lyrics on a large white paper, hung it on the blackboard, sang it himself, and then told the story of Wang Erxiao to the first and third grade students. The content of the story is that the thirteen-year-old Wang Erxiao was herding sheep in the mountains, and met the Japanese devils who swept into the mountains, and the devils let him lead the way, so he took the devils to the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army.

After listening to this story, some classmates angrily pointed at Luo Shanxue and said loudly to Teacher Zhou, "Teacher, his father is a Japanese devil and burned down our house." Then someone shouted, "My uncle was killed by his father." At this time, the classmates all looked at Luo Shanxue with righteous indignation. Luo Shanxue was originally timid, and when he saw that his classmates were looking at him with angry eyes, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Teacher Zhou heard what happened to Luo Shanxue's mother, so he said to the students, "Students, you can't treat Luo Shanxue like this, he and his mother are both victims of Japanese devils." If we hate the Japanese devils, we can't treat our classmates like this. Hearing this, Luo Shanxue was very grateful to Teacher Zhou, but he felt that now that his classmates knew that he was a cub of the Japanese devil, how could he stay in school?

Next, Mr. Zhou began to teach everyone to sing this song, "The cows are still grazing on the hillside, but the cattle herding is somewhere, it's not that he lost the cow because he was greedy for fun, the child who herded the cow Wang Erxiao ......" This song is very good, and he also hates the Japanese devil, he thinks that it would be good if he was Wang Erxiao, he would rather die under the bayonet of the Japanese devil than live like this.

After class, some classmates sang songs and said to him, "Wang Erxiao was killed by your father." He defended, "My father's name is Luo Xianxian, he is not a Japanese devil, and he did not kill Wang Erxiao." However, immediately a student said to him, "Luo Xianxian is not your father, your father is a Japanese devil." Seeing so many classmates denouncing and coaxing him, he felt that Wang Erxiao was really killed by his father, and it made him irrefutable.

He came home crying, and when his grandmother saw him coming back crying, she asked him, "Who bullied you?" He didn't speak, but went straight into the back room and said to his mother, who was sewing quilts, "Mom, I'm not going to school anymore." The mother was stunned and asked, "What's the matter, who bullied you?" Luo Shanxue said, "They all said that I was a cub of the Japanese devils, and they also said that Wang Erxiao was killed by my father." When my mother heard this, she asked, "Who is Wang Erxiao?" Luo Shanxue said, "Wang Erxiao is a cowherd." Mom said, "They talk nonsense, how could your father go to the murderer's house to herd cowherds?" Luo Shanxue felt that when he told his mother, his mother didn't understand, so he said to his mother fiercely, "I won't go to school anymore." If you force me to go to school, I'll jump into the pond. When my mother heard this, she said, "Why are you not going to school at such a young age?" Luo Shanxue said, "I can herd cattle, I can farm, I can do any job." Mom didn't say anything.

At noon, my father came back from the field and sat in the hall smoking a cigarette while waiting for dinner. The mother told him that her son didn't want to go to school. But he said disapprehantly, "If you don't go up, you won't go to school, it's useless to go to school so much, it's not like you want to go to the field to farm." In fact, he didn't want him to go to school in the first place, but his mother insisted that he go to school. When my mother saw my father say this, she said, "Why is he so young that he doesn't go to school? Dad said, "It's because he doesn't want to get on, and it's not that I won't let him go." It doesn't matter if he doesn't go to school, it just so happens that no one in the team is herding the cows, so let him herd the cattle. When my mother heard this, she didn't say anything more.

Mom and Dad didn't tell him to stop going to school, but Luo Shanxue didn't go to school himself. Seeing that he was no longer at school, Dad brought him to the captain Yongfu and asked Yongfu to arrange a job for him. Yongfu gave him the four buffaloes in his team and told him to drive them to the meadows on the side of the mountain to graze twice a day, and then drive them back when the people were off work. Oxen are indispensable tools for farmers to plough the fields, plough the fields, and pull carts. There are more than 30 households in Xiaogugaotun Village, with nearly 100 acres of paddy fields and cultivated land. Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of it in normal times. In the past, these cows were raised by the water old man, but the water old man's leg was broken, and he couldn't walk, so he couldn't raise the cattle anymore.

Luo Shanxue came to the cattle pen next to the team's warehouse early every morning, after breakfast, and drove the cattle to the hillside meadow on the side of the mountain. Then I sat on the edge of the grass and watched the scenery. The slopes of the mountain side are wide and bright, and the sun shines brightly on the grass of the hillside, the grass is wet and green, and the green grass blooms one by one with small white flowers and small yellow flowers, and there are birds and butterflies flying from the grass. He felt that he felt much more comfortable and free here than he did in the classroom. Before he knew it, he felt himself become a little bird, flying back and forth carefree in the sky and in the woods.

Just as his thoughts were flying in the sky, a classmate named Chai Dali ran to him and said, "Go back quickly, Teacher Zhou is waiting for you at your house." When Luo Shanxue heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What is she looking for me, I don't go to school anymore, and she is not my teacher anymore." Chai Dali said, "Teacher Zhou said that he didn't want you to herd cattle, and wanted you to continue to go back to school." Luo Shanxue said, "But I don't want to go to school anymore." Chai Dali said, "You go and tell Teacher Zhou to go, she is sitting at your house waiting for you." Luo Shanxue had no choice but to follow Chai Dali back to his home.

Teacher Zhou was talking to her mother and grandmother in the sun in front of the door. Seeing him coming, Teacher Zhou asked, "Why don't you come to school?" Luo Shanxue said, "I don't want to go to school." Teacher Zhou said, "Are you afraid that your classmates will say that you are a Japanese boy? I have already criticized them and announced that if anyone calls you Japanese boy again in the future, I will stop his class and ask him to call his parents and apologize to you in person." My classmates also promised that they would never call you Japanese boy again. ”

Hearing this, Luo Shanxue was grateful, she liked Teacher Zhou, and even revered and admired her a little. However, he knew that although the teacher did not let his classmates call him Japanese boy, he was still Japanese boy in the eyes of his classmates. And she can't control her classmates from calling him Japanese boy in private or outside of school. Now that he has developed a love for herding cattle, he has decided that no matter what Mr. Zhou tries to persuade him, he will not return to school. He said to Teacher Zhou, "Teacher, I really don't want to go to school anymore. Teacher Zhou asked, "Why?" and he said, "No, I just don't want to go up." Teacher Zhou said, "However, you are still young, you should learn more knowledge." Luo Shanxue still shook his head and said, "My father said that it is useless to learn so much knowledge, and you still have to be a farmer." It's better to do something sooner. ”

Teacher Zhou said, "But what your father said is not right, if you learn well, you may not have to be a farmer for the rest of your life." My family is also a farmer, but I am now a teacher. "I can't compare with you." You are a great person, but what am I?" Teacher Zhou said, "How can you say that, you are still young, how can you see the future?" However, he felt that he had already seen his future, why couldn't such a smart person as Teacher Zhou see it? He didn't know what to say, so he said again, "Teacher Zhou, don't persuade me anymore, I really don't want to go to school." ”

Hearing this, my mother also said to Teacher Zhou, "Forget it, he can't go if he doesn't want to." Regretting it in the future is his own business. Hearing this, Teacher Zhou nodded, sighed, and left.
