Chapter 149: Rules
Just like when they first went to elementary school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, the graduates of Banbuqiao Primary School, were almost all assigned to go to Beijing No. 78 Middle School on Liren Street, not far from their homes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luckily, there was no one to help this time, so Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were divided into a "platoon" and could stay together during the day. However, there is also one point that they are unlucky, that is, the 78th Middle School has always been known for the brutality and aggressiveness of its students in the middle school in Xuanwu District.
Seventy-eight was formerly known as Liren Street Middle School. It was built in 1962, changed to its current name in 1965, and was only added in 1971.
This middle school is actually the product of the great expansion of the capital after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because when the People's Republic of China was just founded, although there was no moat in the area of Banbu Bridge, because it was already the edge of the outer city, there were not many original residents. It is still basically a continuation of the sparsely populated, desolate and abnormal state when Guangxu established the first new-style prison in the capital in the 35th year of Guangxu - Jingshi Model Prison.
Later, it was entirely for the purpose of rehousing the citizens who had been relocated due to the renovation of the old city and the continuous influx of new residents into the capital, that the city government filled in the entire road here, erected street lights, and built large row houses. As a result, with the growth of the demand for medical care and education for a large number of new people who have been resettled here, this school was born.
This was a common situation at the time, and many schools were built during this period for common reasons in the periphery of the old city of Beijing. According to the current understanding, it is basically the process of the urban-rural junction being transformed by the real estate industry. The biggest difference, however, was that the change was not a modern business operation, but a government benefit.
But you should also know that the two districts of Xuanwu and Chongwen Outer City, which were originally the places where the poor people lived in the capital, are different from the two inner cities of Dongcheng and Xicheng, which are known as "rich in the east and expensive in the west", and there are very few social elites here. Even the new residents who were resettled later were mostly poor citizens who had moved out of old and dangerous buildings, or migrants who had just entered Beijing at the time and made a living by pulling tricycles and doing small business.
Let's put it this way, the largest population in the two districts of Nancheng is a large number of idle people and small traders, handicraftsmen, industrialists and merchants who are representatives of the backward economy. As a result, when building the new capital area, the city government will tilt its limited resources towards the concentration of military compounds such as Liuliqiao in the western suburbs, or the places close to famous universities such as Landichang and Laohudong in the north, or the emerging industrial areas full of factories such as Dabeiyao and Dashanzi in the east. This is especially true when it comes to medical and educational resources.
As a result, the emerging schools in Xuanwu and Chongwen districts can only reach an extremely low level. Not to mention that it can't catch up with the famous old schools in the east and west cities, even with the suburbs in the east, west, and north directions, and the new schools that were also established during this period.
The reality is that most of the children of cadres and intellectuals in the Xuanwu and Chongwen districts of Nancheng have been absorbed by old schools such as the High School Attached to Normal University, the 14th Middle School, and Huiwen Middle School, which have been inherited for hundreds of years. Later, the children of cadres who were newly transferred to Beijing on official duty were also sent to a few new key schools, such as the 15th and 66th middle schools and Yucai Middle School. Then the remaining large number of new schools will become "poor" schools dedicated to accommodating the children of ordinary people. Naturally, there is no emphasis on the quality of teachers and the teaching environment, and the quality of the students is basically just tofu tied with hemp rope -- it cannot be raised.
And in these schools, the situation is most worrying, especially in the seventy-eight middle school. I think that at the beginning, long before the "movement", there was a saying among the middle schools in Xuanwu District, "The gate of No. 78 Middle School faces north, and they are either hooligans or bandits" to describe the students of this school.
Similarly, there is another slogan among the students of No. 78 Middle School to describe their beautiful campus life, that is, "Exercise your body, defend yourself, build your muscles, and don't get beaten!". From this, you can also know the quality of this school.
These two sentences are definitely not an exaggeration at all. On their first day at school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan witnessed several incidents of violence that were commonplace for the school.
Once, I was in the toilet during the second class in the morning, and at that time, probably due to the large number of people going to the toilet, a stout child thought that a child with a thin body like a bean sprout squeezed him, and as a result, he knocked the "bean sprout" down in a pool of urine on the toilet floor with a punch.
"Bean sprouts" naturally have never practiced wrestling, and there are no roots under their feet, and they will fall down when they hit it. He sat in a large patch of urine and covered his face in horror, but no one paid attention to him. Finally, when class was about to start, he was afraid of being late, so he had to stand up and walk back to the classroom crying step by step, his clothes stained with wet urine.
Another time it happened in the afternoon on the playground. Two children got into a fight over the horizontal bar. As a result, after a close fist and foot battle, the winner was finally decided, and although one of them also had a blue nose and swollen face, he finally won the final victory by twisting the arm of the other. And this kid didn't let people pay attention, and forced people to call him dad when he twisted the other party ****** the same way. The twisted child was reluctant to bow his head at first, but after resisting for a while, he couldn't bear the pain and had to scream obediently, which was louder than calling his own father.
Seriously, in this school, hitting people seems to have endless fun for many boys, just like eating sausages, and it is very comfortable.
For example, they only need to see which student is not pleasing to the eye, and they can get rid of the fire with a punch in the past, and it will be sweeter if they slap it in the face. Only in this way can they show their superhuman might, so that the rest of their peers will be afraid to submit. Therefore, in their opinion, the sound of a slap is much more interesting and enjoyable than the cry of a grasshopper. The thrill of this excitement is not tired every time, as if eating a piece of candy and picking up a dime.
Therefore, the first rule among the students of Seventy-Eight Middle School is that if anyone wants to have prestige among his classmates, he must beat people hard. The students here decide if you can fight or not. There is no other reason to talk about it, the fist is the reason. Whoever has a hard fist is the king, and he will hug him everywhere he goes.
No one sympathizes with the weak, just as wolf cubs like to bite each other, this is an animal world, only the head and strength, teeth and claws. Like children who are weak, stupid, and have little strength, can't quarrel, can't scold, can't fight, can't cheat, can't brag, just like a little rabbit with no ability to defend themselves, they become the prey of wolf cubs.
In addition, in addition to the principle of fists, the unspoken rules of violence in Seventy-Eight also include the concepts of grade and "circle".
The concept of grade level is best understood, as it is the most primitive grade division in any school. Due to the gap in physical development and the unspoken rule of seniority, the lower grades are naturally the dishes in the bowl of the upper grades. In particular, the freshmen who have just been promoted from primary school to middle school have not yet passed the test of the jungle, and they are used to being weak by the warm environment of the primary school teacher, too soft, too immature, and it will take a year or two for them to learn to be fierce, fierce and resistant. So they are naturally at the bottom.
And boys who are senior students often think of themselves as "people who have come over" and have fun by bullying new students. They teach the cruel treatment they have encountered to the younger students in a completely hands-on way. At the same time, you can also use this to show that you are strong, and you don't care about the notoriety of bullying the weak on your back.
For example, in the campus of No. 78 Middle School, it often happens that the villain books that the junior students are reading will be snatched away by the senior students for no reason. Or when the junior students are playing ball on the playground or playing with horizontal bars and other equipment, the senior students will come and just roar and blow people away. In addition, even if the junior students walked on the road without provoking anyone, they might be hit in the back of the head by the paper bullets fired by the senior students with monkey skin bands.
Under normal circumstances, most of the bullying of the lower grades and the upper grades will swallow their anger, and once someone dares to show a little dissatisfaction, they will inevitably be subjected to more profound "education" methods such as slapping and sealing eyes. However, there is an exception, that is, some students who are in the "circle" do not need to look at this kind of face.
The people in the so-called "circle" should be ranked at the highest level in the school food chain, and their behavior is indeed very different from ordinary students.
Going to the streets, going to school, these people never go out alone, they all become "gangs" and "guys". At that time, there will be a lot of bicycles, walkers, and bicycles leading people...... Sometimes the larger "circle" of people gathered, and they sat on the curb for a long time, and they could go to the ground for a small half, and from time to time someone would come and take charge of the smoke, popsicles, and soda.
Although there are not many of them who can really fight, and there are a lot of good coaxing, it is also very deterrent to rely on the strength of the crowd. As a result, not only do they no longer have to worry about being bullied, but they can even bully others as they please.
In addition, the ability of the people in the "circle" to emulate hooligan slang and fighting equipment is not comparable to that of ordinary students.
For example, jargon such as "calling a ballast", "blocking the horizon", "committing each other", "stabbing at a glance", "pretending to be upright", "stubborn", "coming hard" and other jargon can often be heard in the mouths of people in the "circle". Kitchen knives, three-edged scrapers, wire locks (a bicycle lock, also known as stick locks or spring locks), iron chains, armed belts, bricks, etc., are usually carried in these children's military satchels.
However, most of this is only used for pretending to be bold, and in most cases no one uses it. Moreover, professional "murder weapons" such as pipe forks, military stabs, and daggers that can easily take people's lives and cause relatively large casualties are also rare.
To put it bluntly, the talents in the "circle" are the most troublesome among middle school students, and they are also the students closest to the professional hooligans in society. It is commonly referred to as "little ruffian" or "little joke". In any era, it was a headache for teachers.,In today's concept, it's a bad teenager who advocates violence.。
In fact, strictly speaking, the concept of "circle" was born during the period of suspension of classes in the "movement".
At that time, after the suspension of classes, most of the children in each alley or courtyard would gather together to spend time. Children who have lost their learning conditions have nothing to do, and their energy and fire are high, and they belong to the age when they have nothing to do to make trouble, so they run around in society all day long and play crazy. Children from different geographical boundaries are often in contact with each other, which naturally leads to group friction.
Most of the fuses are trivial matters, grievances caused by queuing up to buy things, conflicts caused by getting on the bus and grabbing seats, or because the child looks at the child more than that (the so-called "criminal photo"), which will cause a sudden "war". As a result, the trend of group fights in the whole society began to spread rapidly. At the most serious level, it can even reach the point where the children in the two places form an irresolvable feud, and finally start fighting as soon as they meet, and the other side will never stop and withdraw their troops until one party is defeated and flees.
At that time, this kind of "war" came and went, just like Palestinian-Israeli relations. Sometimes the scale of the melee can be very large, and a large area will appear like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or even the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".
This also responds to the saying "heroes come out of troubled times". As there are more fights and the notoriety gradually spreads, a group of "celebrities" with "far-reaching" reputations will naturally emerge in various regions, and then become the players of the dominant side, which is called "poking up" if it is described in jargon. At the same time, it also compares which compound is horizontal and which alley is wild in a certain area.
For example, in Xuanwu District, there are many characters who have really put their hands into society and "divided one side". For example, the "Bajie" and "Yaozi" in the Qianmen area, the "nails" and "small landlords" in Tianqiaoer, the "spies" and "old ghosts" in the Caishikou area, the "Baoqiang" and "Gazi" in Niujie, the "small sour dates" and "red leaves" in Baiguang Road, the "big dehe" in Yongdingmen, the "big old fart" in Guang'anmen and the "old fu" outside You'anmen and so on. They were all the objects of worship of the children back then, and everyone knew about them.
After the resumption of classes, this atmosphere was brought back to the campus from society. Because they all go to school in the neighborhood by piece, those new students who worship and desire to protect God spontaneously rally around the "celebrities" who have been "poked" in their own residential areas, and are willing to obey their orders.
Most of the people who are held are also very fond of this feeling of "potential", and feel that many people respond when they ascend to the heights, just like the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan, which is very majestic. So he likes to form gangs more and more, and loves to call himself a "big brother".
This has undoubtedly aroused the envy of some students to follow suit, so that in order to increase their prestige and strength, people who want to "shake their share" continue to select new members from the freshmen who live close to them and invite them to join their own activity "circle". In this way, before the children were angry, there were "rising stars" who took advantage of the situation.
As there are more and more such spontaneous small gangs, it is natural that group fights have become a rampant trend. "School battles" like this often take place in hallways or playgrounds.
If there is a fight in the corridor, most of the people who copy it are handy guys such as brooms, cloths, chairs, and school bags. Due to the narrowness of the corridors and the inability to move away, the result is that the glass in the classrooms and corridors is often sparse, and the children who "participated in the war" are turned on their backs, their heads are broken and bleeding, and even innocent teachers and students are harmed.
Due to the large boundary of the playground, it is common to chase and kill scenes. Because the houses at that time were almost all brick houses, it was relatively easy to copy bricks.
In short, such well-defined examples of groups of children fighting in and out of school were quite common in the mid-to-early seventies, which was due to the general climate. At that time, it was even a social fashion, an activity in which half-grown children generally participated. Don't look at it now, it would be inexplicable to today's children of the same age, but back then, it was.
It should be said that the above three general rules are equivalent to a nightmare for honest children who keep to themselves, but it would be good if the seventy-eight middle school only paid attention to these three. Because these are not a big threat to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
First of all, they followed Yu Ye to learn wrestling, although they haven't learned any offensive moves, but after a few years of practicing basic skills, their physical fitness is different from ordinary people. Relying only on their "platoon skills", even if they use the most stupid method of punching me and kicking me, among their peers, there are really few people who fight alone are their opponents. From a practical point of view, he also has a certain amount of self-preservation.
Secondly, not to mention that Hong Yanwu is not a "fuel-efficient lamp" in Banbuqiao Primary School, he is a master who likes to bully people, and there are fox friends such as Zhao Huolu, Li Chunsheng, and Jiang Bayi, who are also small and powerful among the freshmen, and he does not suffer even according to the regional "circle".
Since there were no cadres and children in the school, the seventy-eight students at that time were mainly divided into two groups by Baizhifang East Street, which really meant "Chu River and Han Boundary".
The school is located on the south side of Baizhifang East Street, guarding the group of children at the door of the house in the south, and it is subdivided into Banbuqiao Hutong, Yaojiajing and Yuxin Street. Because of the convenience, once a fight broke out, they always liked to run home to greet people. However, these children also have gaps on weekdays, and their hearts are not aligned.
The children on the north side of Baizhifang East Street are at a disadvantage in fighting because the school is relatively far away from home. So after a long time, the alleys that are not far from each other, such as Pen'er Hutong, Pingyuanli, and Rufuli, have to choose to give up those small grievances in the old days to "build a village to protect themselves".
The common enemy is the best stabilizer between the gangs, and after several "bloody battles", the more the children of these alleys cooperate, the more tacit they become, and initially establish some "righteousness" that smells like each other, and gradually has faintly become the most concerted group of the seventy-eight.
Like the second brother of Kuroko Mindfulness in the second year of high school, he is the leader of Fu Ruli, and when it comes to hand black, his name has even spread to the nearby middle school, and he is already a well-known player in this area. And his best hand. It was every time he won over his opponent, he would slowly walk up to his opponent and spit in the face with a smile. And almost all the people who were beaten by him only dared to wipe it off with their hands, but they didn't dare to smack him in the same way.
In short, in all aspects, in the school, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan will not become the target of other children's attacks and become the objects of other children's cathartic energy.
However, the reality is often not so simple to measure, this is an extraordinary era with "class struggle as the key link", because they have the background of the "black five categories" and the reputation of "the son of a corrupt criminal", all these favorable conditions are only a flash in the pan for them after all.
