The story of the prison interview room

When I was a new prisoner, I was deeply impressed by a prisoner named Ming Aiguo.

When I was a new prisoner, the new prisoner was often sent out by the prison district to do odd jobs, digging dung pits, clearing warehouses, and moving animals.

Every time we did chores, Wang District Chief, who was in charge of labor reform in the prison district, would send two people to supervise us, one who was responsible for arranging and directing us to do things, and the other was an overseer wearing a red armband and holding a flag.

One of the criminals who arranged for us to do things was named Ming Aiguo, who was about 30 years old, and he was good-looking and solid-looking. He gave me a good impression, he was softer, not like other banmai who was yelling and deceitful, and he spoke reasonably.

Later, there was an incident in which he beat up a new criminal, and this incident still did not change my impression of him, but I paid more attention to him.

At that time, there were eleven new criminals who left the team with me, and one of the new criminals who was beaten by Ming Aiguo was one of the people who left the team with me, and this person was named Tang Xiaoping.

On that day, the prison arranged for our new inmates to clean up the warehouse, which was a warehouse where the prison infrastructure team stacked construction materials, with a lot of steel pipes, wood, and machinery. Before the cleanup, the warehouse was stacked in a mess, and the labor halo of cleaning up was quite huge.

It was not cleaned up in the morning and continued in the afternoon. Those of us who have just come out of the detention center have been in the prison team for three months of forced training, and our bodies lack nutrition, where will we be energetic? There are also several patients who have suffered from diseases, among which Tang Xiaoping's illness is quite serious.

After a few days of work, no cadres paid attention to us. But in the afternoon of that day, District Mayor Wang personally visited the labor site. His arrival triggered the Ming Aiguo beating incident.

District Chief Wang walked into the warehouse and scanned all corners of the warehouse with a fierce eye, he was very dissatisfied. Ming Aiguo stood beside him, looked at District Chief Wang with a whisker, and waited for District Chief Wang to put forward his opinion with fear.

If District Chief Wang can put forward a softer criticism, it will not provoke Ming Aiguo's excitement, his criticism is very spicy, and he scolded Ming Aiguo when he opened his mouth: "Fuck you 13, tell you to bring a few new criminals, if you don't bring them well, what use are you, you see what kind of Mingtang this group of people are engaged in, and they will die or die if they do things, this is called cleaning up the warehouse, the more they clean up, the more messy it becomes, Lao Tzu sees that you don't want to do it." ”

The Banmaizi of the labor reform team is most afraid that the cadres will say "Lao Tzu sees that you don't want to do it", once you don't do it, just wait for the disaster, the criminals who have been bullied and oppressed by themselves in the past no longer compliment themselves, and try every means to rectify themselves, who dares not to do it.

Before Ming Aiguo finished listening to the deceitful call of the head of Wang Prison, his impulsiveness came up, he changed his usual softness, he couldn't control himself at all, picked up a short steel pipe from the ground, and beat Tang Xiaoping, who was working beside him.

At that time, the sound of the steel pipe hitting Tang Xiaoping was very loud, which attracted those of us who were still buried in work. I looked sideways, and Tang Xiaoping was already leaning over the ground, tired and tired, letting Ming Aiguo's steel pipe beat him around.

Ming Aiguo shouted while fighting: "Lao Tzu usually lets you do it well, you Lao Tzu is lazy, you 13 new criminals don't know how powerful, Lao Tzu beats you to death......"

Ming Aiguo is too impulsive, I am really afraid that the steel pipe will fall in the wrong place, and if it falls in the wrong place, it may cause Tang Xiaoping to die. I wanted to go to Lamin's patriotism, but the fear of being a new prisoner stopped me, and the multi-board criminals didn't pull either, they were much better than me, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they immediately went back to doing their own thing after seeing it, so that they would not get burned.

When Ming Aiguo beat people, District Chief Wang turned his head to the side, and he stopped yelling, he calmly looked at the scenery outside the window, it seemed that the sound in the room was very harmonious, and it seemed that the scenery outside the window was wonderful.

Maybe District Chief Wang felt that he had enough, so he turned his head and said to Ming Aiguo: "Forget it." ”

When he first said "forget it", Ming Aiguo did not stop, and Ming Aiguo did this, perhaps to show District Chief Wang that he was in charge.

Seeing that Ming Aiguo didn't stop, District Mayor Wang's tone became a little heavier: "Don't fight." ”

Listening to District Chief Wang's angry tone, Ming Aiguo stopped.

District Mayor Wang threw a sentence to Ming Aiguo: "Lao Tzu will come back to see how the warehouse is cleaned up." Then he left.

After District Chief Wang left, Tang Xiaoping endured the pain and got up from the ground to continue working. Ming Aiguo looked up and scolded our new group of criminals.

At this time, we all wanted to go over to comfort Tang Xiaoping, but we didn't go over, the solemn air just now had not eased, and we were worried about angering Ming Aiguo again.

When it was time to call it a day, District Chief Wang never came.

We walked out of the door of the warehouse, and Tang Xiaoping fell to the ground at the gate of the warehouse. Two new criminals who were closer to Tang Xiaoping trotted over and helped Tang Xiaoping up, Ming Aiguo didn't say anything, and none of us spoke, just like that, we returned to the prison.

After Tang Xiaoping was carried back to the cell, he lay on the bed.

When dinner was served, someone brought him a meal, but he didn't move, and the person who delivered the meal saw that his eyes were blank and his breathing was very weak, and reported his situation to District Chief Wang.

District Chief Wang recalled the scene of Ming Aiguo beating Tang Xiaoping in the afternoon, and he had a hunch that the problem was a bit serious and that something might happen. He immediately called for someone to call Ming Aiguo.

When Ming Aiguo came back from the office and walked past the place where we were eating and squatting, I saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on his head, and he panicked.

He walked around the door of our new prisoner's cell several times, wanting to go in to see Tang Xiaoping's situation, maybe he couldn't take it, he was embarrassed, he walked into the door many times, but he didn't have the courage to walk in.

After we had finished eating and washed the dishes, he followed the old prisoner in our cell into our cell, pretending to be talking and laughing.

After entering the cell, he sat on the old prisoner's bunk, bragged with the old prisoner, spoke incoherently, and his eyes were always focused on Tang Xiaoping, who was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed.

That night, he sat for a long time before going back. Tang Xiaoping just lay down like that, we new criminals want to care about him, we can't do anything, even if he wants to die, we can only watch him die, he should be patriotic and care, but he didn't care because he loved face, he kept a sense of fear to himself, and then took it away.

I think that Ming Aiguo may not have slept that night, he must be very afraid, it doesn't matter if he doesn't kill someone, once someone dies, no one can hold him back, he will definitely have to eat guns.

The next morning, Ming Aiguo got up early in the morning, and the first thing he did when he got up was to run to our cell to observe, although he pretended to be nothing, the fear on his face could not be concealed, and we were all like mirrors. When he found out that Tang Xiaoping was talking to a new prisoner, he seemed to be a little relieved.

On that day, Tang Xiaoping did not go to work. In the morning, after being examined by the "veterinarian" of the prison district, Tang Xiaoping's high fever had reached 40 degrees and he had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

He was hospitalized. During his hospitalization, Ming's patriotic spirit was in a state of tension.

About five or six days later, Tang Xiaoping was discharged from the hospital. Although his illness was not completely cured, Ming Aiguo's hanging heart fell. Tang Xiaoping went to work immediately after being discharged from the hospital.

Seeing Tang Xiaoping discharged from the hospital safely, Ming Aiguo gradually regained his former vitality.

As time went by, I gained a deeper understanding of Ming Aiguo.

Ming Aiguo was convicted of rape at the age of 18 and sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent his first few years in prison in a western prison, where he suffered a lot of losses in the early stages of his sentence before rising to work as an electrician. According to what he told me, he used to be in prison in the western prison for a salary, and he often traveled to other places for business trips, and he also received a travel allowance. I didn't believe what he said, and when I asked a few of the inmates who were transferred from the Western Prison to our prison with him, they explained that patriotism was telling the truth.

Ming Aiguo is very rigid in our prison. Although he is not a special prisoner, he has more power than a special prisoner, he can come and go freely anywhere in the prison, and he can even scold the special prisoner at times, I don't know what he has to do with it, when I was talking to other old prisoners about related prisoners, I asked some old prisoners in passing, and the old prisoners all said that he had nothing to do with him.

I couldn't believe that an unrelated prisoner was so well photographed, with cigarettes (cigarettes were in short supply at that time, unlike now, when they were in prison, cigarettes could be bought), and food (referring to fishing buns), and after a few years in prison, I finally found out the secret of Ming Aiguo's beginnings.

The secret of patriotism was revealed to me by a prisoner who had been imprisoned with him in the Western Prison and transferred with him to our prison.

At that time, he was young and committed rape, and he was often bullied by old criminals, and if he was not covered, he would be beaten to death sooner or later.

Ming Aiguo was transferred to our prison, and when he came, he didn't mix well, that is, during a meeting, he made a fuss, and made a big fuss, and the cadres felt that he was very pitiful and incorrigible, so they gave him a board, mainly to prevent him from making "mistakes".

Ming Aiguo has an eye for making trouble, and he is an eye for messing around, and in the prison interview room, he is famous for messing around.

The year after he was transferred from the Western Prison to our prison, his mother (some say the stepmother) came from the Western Prison to see him.

At that time, the prison interview room was outside the prison, and a cadre took the prisoners out when they were interviewed, and when they entered the interview room, the cadre would supervise the whole process.

But when Ming Aiguo met with him, the cadre went out with a little business, and when the cadre came back, he was hugging his mother and was doing that.

Cadres have never encountered the phenomenon of doing such things in the interview room, let alone between mother and son. The cadres were enraged, and at that time they went up to educate Ming Aiguo and scolded his mother very harshly.

Since then, Ming's family has never visited him again.

Ming Aiguo's "deeds" spread among the cadres, and were passed on by the cadres to the prisoners, that year, Ming Aiguo did not raise his head, and it was only later, the special care given to him by the cadres gave him a little status among the prisoners.

Regarding Ming Aiguo's rape crime, the old prisoner told me that when Ming Aiguo was 18 years old, he had repeatedly raped several of his younger sisters for many years, and some people said that those sisters were not his own sisters, but were brought by his stepmother. He went to prison for raping his sister.

When I was in prison, the old prisoner was almost gone, and there were not many people who knew about Ming Aiguo.

Ming Aiguo is a man who loves to learn, and when he finished his sentence in 2007, he had dozens of books on electricians, fitters, etc., which he brought down from the western prison. As he left, he took all the books out of the prison, and he told me that he was going to the Yangtze River Delta to find a job.

I know he can't go home, I'm embarrassed to go home, and I don't ask him why he doesn't go home, I just wish him success in his job search.

He left with a full sentence, leaving me with a long list of question marks about humanity and life.
