The director of the department asked Xia Wei to write an emergency plan for a severely mentally ill patient, and when Xia Wei was writing the emergency plan materials, she remembered a mentally ill person Ailing who she had come into contact with a few years ago, as well as Lao Xiong and her father's relatives in their hometown.

Ailing suffered from schizophrenia when she was in middle school, but after treatment, she was able to live like an ordinary person.

Later, she went to Shanghai to work, worked as a beautician in a well-known beauty salon, and also earned some money, so she wanted to go back to the local area to become her own boss. So, she rented a store in a prosperous area of Nanjing, ready to use it as a specialty store, and when everything was ready, she wanted to go back to her rural hometown to visit her parents and relatives.

On the way back to the village, Ailing met a group of women in the village, and when they saw the girl, they all looked frightened, and everyone turned their heads and said, "The madman is coming!" Come on. The women looked at Eileen with strange eyes, and as they spread around, some of them were still shouting, "The madman is coming, the madman is coming!" When the girl heard them talk about herself, she was furious, and her emotions suddenly lost control, she stepped forward and grabbed a woman, and then, a slap on the woman's face, the woman screamed in fright, and the women who ran away next to her did not know who called the police, and after a while, the police car came roaring, and the police in police uniforms came to Ailing, and once again took her to a psychiatric hospital.

When Xia Wei learned of such a situation, she told the girl: "Don't care about other people's comments and words, because you have a history of mental illness, and you have been away from home for so long, others don't know your current situation, discussion is inevitable, to maintain a normal and optimistic attitude, you can greet them with a smile, or ignore them, but if you hit someone, others will think that you are crazy again, are you right?" ”

The girl smiled and said to Xia Wei, "Thank you, I must pay attention in the future." ”

"That's right, you better run your shop well,"

"Okay, you must come to the store to see me when you come to Nanjing,"

Xia Wei said, "Yes, I will definitely see you when I have the opportunity, and now you must be more magnanimous in your business, don't worry about everything,"

"Okay, in the past, I always felt that others were discriminating and ridiculing me, so I was very angry, and my emotions would get out of control when I was angry, but I won't in the future."

"Well, I wish you good health and happiness, and a prosperous business!" Xia Wei happily shook hands with her and said goodbye.

Every time she thinks of this girl, Xia Wei's heart feels uncomfortable, she thinks, there are so many mentally ill people at present, how much they need the support and help of everyone and even the whole society, and these patients cannot be discriminated again, and many mentally ill patients have a close relationship with the discrimination against them by some people in the society after recovery. Most of these patients, after being treated in the hospital and returning to society, need medication to control their condition and not let them be too stimulated as much as possible. Anger and anger are the key triggers of mental illness, and we should advocate caring for the disadvantaged, so that they can feel care and warmth, so that they can live and work normally.

Xia Wei also remembered a mentally ill Lao Xiong she met when she was a child, Lao Xiong was a cadre of the township government, and at a criticism meeting, he suddenly lost control of his spirit and slashed people with a knife, and everyone said that Lao Xiong was crazy. From then on, he didn't care whether he went to work or not, and everyone in the township knew that Lao Xiong was a madman.

One day, Lao Xiong ran to Xia Wei's village, and the villagers saw Lao Xiong walking towards the village from a distance, and they all shouted and greeted the people next to him: "Run, the madman is coming!" ”

Hearing the shouting, everyone ran away in a panic, and the old bear scolded behind his back: "* Your mother, you are crazy!" Then he swaggered into the village and came to Xia Wei's house, and in the distance, Lao Xiong shouted to Xia Wei's grandfather: "Brother, I'm here." ”

Grandpa heard the shout of the old bear, and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Brother Xiong, why do you have time to come and play, you are welcome." ”

"I miss you, so I came over, anyway, they all said I was crazy, and no one asked if I couldn't go to work." Lao Xiong sat beside his grandfather unceremoniously, and his grandfather hurriedly shouted, "Xiaowei, go make a cup of tea and come over for grandpa to drink." ”

Xia Wei hurriedly replied, "Okay, right away." Then he made a cup of tea and handed it over and said, "Grandpa, please drink tea." ”

Lao Xiong smiled and took the teacup, put it on the table, and said to his grandfather: "Your family is so good, others will run away when they see me, and your family will entertain me so warmly, I am really grateful." ”

Grandpa said sincerely: "There is nothing you can do when you are sick, and I have never heard of you beating and scolding the people, just scolding those cadres who have corrected you, maybe you have been wronged, right?" ”

Lao Xiong said movingly: "Thank you brother for your understanding, I don't beat and scold everyone, those people criticize me, I will scold them, saying that I am a spy, the ghost believes that this is true, I am a good cadre and a spy." ”

"Yes, brother, you have to open a little, otherwise you will get sick and you will be in pain, don't blame the people, they are afraid that you will hurt yourself and hide from you." Grandpa patiently persuaded.

"Yes, they all say I'm crazy, and they avoid me together, weird, but I won't beat them, I just scold them for not calling me crazy." The old bear looked a little aggrieved.

Grandpa took Lao Xiong's hand and said, "Brother, I sympathize with your plight, you have to hold on, don't hurt yourself." ”

"Yes, thank you brother for your concern, I'm still measured, and I'll pretend to be crazy for those who are unreasonable, you know? My madness had already been cured, but they didn't believe that I was a normal person, and they probably kept treating me as a madman because they were afraid that I would retaliate against them if I was crazy. I didn't go to work, and I wasn't rushed. Some people said to me politely: Crazy, stay away. I got angry and then I pretended to be crazy. It's also annoying to think about it, I'm a good person, and I haven't done anything bad, they insist that I'm crazy, so once a person is crazy, even if you are cured, others still treat you as a madman, it's really painful! Brother, normal people will not understand my pain, and I will never go back to the past. Old Bear said with a tear in the corner of his eye.

Grandpa was blind and naturally couldn't see the old bear's expression, so he hurriedly comforted the old bear: "Brother, I know your pain, don't care what others say about yourself, people, or happiness is the most important." Let's just talk about me, some people say I'm blind, blind is blind, I really can't see, people just talk about it casually, they may not feel the pain of our disabled people, so if you want to open it yourself, don't be too sensitive. ”

Xia Wei thought that we must be tolerant, understanding and helpful in dealing with mentally ill patients. Only when everyone gets along in harmony can society be harmonious. If you discriminate against patients and stimulate them, they will get sick and there will be more opportunities to cause trouble. She thought of the sieve in her father's hometown in northern Jiangsu again.

1979 was the third year after the resumption of the college entrance examination after the baptism of a special period, and the sieve took the college entrance examination in this year. He usually has excellent academic performance, has a good plan for himself, and it is his dream to go to university.

After taking the college entrance examination, there is always an ominous premonition, he feels that the results of the college entrance examination this time are not as good as usual, and waiting for the results of the college entrance examination is a long and anxious day. Maybe it's because your family's expectations for you are too high, or maybe your life plan is too perfect, and when you are waiting for the college entrance examination results, you are a little more anxious than others, and sometimes you will have insomnia.

Just when he was restless, the college entrance examination results came down, and the sieve went to school excitedly and uneasily to see his college entrance examination results, only one point away from the admission score, and he actually failed.

He didn't know how he walked home, he only knew that his mind was blank, and his parents didn't talk to him when they asked him, and when his parents learned the news that he was not on the list, they didn't comfort him who was lost, and complained one by one: "Look at you, what do you usually say to you?" Let you revise well, don't play with those students with poor grades, now it's good, hey! ”

As soon as my mother finished speaking, my father continued: "You are a farmer, and if you don't study hard, it's no wonder that others." ”

The sieve, which had been sitting there in a daze, suddenly ran to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, cut it when he saw someone, and kept saying, "I'm going to kill you!" I've worked so hard—"

The parents were dumbfounded when they saw the sieve become like this, but fortunately they avoided it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and they called the villagers to help, and finally subdued the sieve.

Because they are in the countryside of northern Jiangsu, the family is poor, or perhaps the parents of the sieve did not realize the seriousness of the problem, they locked the sieve with iron chains and put it in a small specific room, they were afraid that the sieve would kill people, there was no other better way.

Every time my father goes to his hometown in the countryside of northern Jiangsu, he has to go to see the sieve, sometimes, he also recognizes my father, and will shout: "Four fathers", and more often than not, I don't know my father, every time I go to see it, my father will say to the aunt who has remarried: "You should take the sieve to the psychiatric hospital to see, this is too cruel to him." ”

My aunt would always say: "I can't see it well, I've already been to the hospital to see it, and when I get home, I will still take a knife when something happens, and if I don't lock it up, I can hurt people again!" After saying this, the aunt began to cry.

Dad comforted him, the only thing he could help was to give some money, but there was no better way. Later, I don't know what they do with the sieve, these years, my father is old, and he doesn't often go back to his hometown, these things seem to have faded away, but every time I think about it, my heart will hurt very much.

The tragedy of the sieve is also the tragedy of many mentally disturbed patients, who are simple-minded and fragile, and cannot withstand the slightest blow and setback. This is also the problem faced by every student who fails the college entrance examination, the parents of the sieve are the fuse of the complete collapse of the sieve, at such a moment, parents should give more care and comfort, rather than blindly blaming, so that the lost and fragile little heart is out of balance.

I hope that the tragedy of the sieve will not be repeated, and I hope that everyone will care for and help those who need comfort in their hearts. Xia Wei posted the tragedy of the sieve to a literary website, and she hoped that people would pay attention to such patients. If everyone gives a little love, the world will be more beautiful and warmer.
