Chapter 46 The Campus

The middle school is not far from the market town, about a mile or two away from the foot of the mountain, there is a video hall on the street, showing fashionable costume martial arts films, students can't resist the temptation, often hide out to watch it during evening self-study.

The fourth-level power station is indeed wealthy, there is no dance hall in the township, it has built one there, where you can sing and dance, socialize and get acquainted, and young people in the neighborhood flock to it, including several young teachers from the school.

The school is not a paradise, the peace is broken, the teaching is invaded, even if the beloved teachers and teachers want to do everything in their power to maintain it, the school is still like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, swallowed and submerged.

The storm came in the second year of junior high school, and I don't know which day it began, and some senior students also appeared in bell bottoms and floral shirts, and they no longer listened to their teachers as before, confronted them, skipped classes, and mixed with society.

At this time, there was a special group in society, known as "Luohan", who often faced each other with fists and feet, could not be provoked or touched, did not buy tickets when taking the bus, did not give money for buying things, bullied the market, bullied the weak, and was called "Luohan".

Some of them are the children of local leading cadres, some of them are dissatisfied with the management of their units and have entered society, and some are unemployed young people who have become blind streams in society without a job, and they often dominate one side and do whatever they want in one place, and some even collect protection money from small traders and hawkers.

At the beginning, the number was small, but the influence was great, and they continued to absorb idle young people in society as "little brothers" as thugs. Later, the minions reached out to the school, or the students were affected and automatically joined, and there were also "Luohans" among the students, and the younger brothers of "Luohans" appeared, including some with excellent academic performance.

Some "arhats" have flexible minds and are bold, and they have seized wealth through their fists to operate arbitrarily, and later developed into a rich man, but more of them have become ordinary "gangsters", and in the end they are useless, and their fate is reincarnated.

The chief designer proposed to "grasp construction with one hand and grasp the legal system with the other," and "both hands should be grasped with both hands." However, in the course of concrete implementation, there has been bias, too much emphasis has been placed on construction, the process of the legal system has been slow, and it can even be said that it is still dominated by the administration, and this situation may be the same throughout the country.

In 1983, there was an extraordinarily serious murder case of the "two kings" in northeast China, and the public security throughout the country organized a "strike hard" operation that year to eliminate a number of social harmful elements.

This phenomenon seriously confuses our ideological concepts, and teachers avoid talking about it in the classroom, perhaps they are also helpless in the face of this social phenomenon.

In the absence of guidance from the elderly, our fledgling ability to distinguish between right and wrong seems so weak, and the primitive desire to fight and the sense of seeking protection have deeply affected more students.

Some people joined in and became "Arhats" themselves, entangled with the local "Arhats", perhaps because they were oppressed, or they took the initiative to join, and finally deviated from the track of learning, the earnest entrustment of their families, and the earnest teachings of their teachers.

I don't know when the teaching order finally begins to become abnormal, and students occasionally quarrel with each other, and they may no longer "find the teacher", but call the social "arhats" to help teach the lesson.

Some people in the mountains study late, and by the third year of junior high school, they are already eighteen or nineteen years old, young and young, dare to cause trouble outside, and after being recognized, they often chase and beat them to school, some are chased and beaten by people nearby, and some are even chased and beaten by people in the county and even Nanchang.

I once saw with my own eyes that the county hydropower vocational high school used a car of people to rush into the school, a strong guy in the third year of junior high school, as soon as he saw them appear, without saying a word, picked up a thick wood on the side of the road and rushed up, and then a few followed.

Maybe you know that this is wrong, maybe you are still a little scared in your heart, every time you fight and encounter the teacher's interference, it will generally disappear, after all, it is a student, or you are afraid of being expelled from school, you are afraid of being known by your parents, you are crazy outside, and you are relatively stable at school.

The generation of teachers led by Principal Zhou was selfless, tolerant, and full of sincere care for students, and they did not give up on such students, expelled them, took into account the feelings of students, and even rarely informed their parents, on the one hand, they tried to guide the transformation, and on the other hand, they tried their best to provide shelter.

If the academic performance cannot be improved, try to get them graduated, a junior Chinese certificate, then can also add weight to the job search, take over the parents' class, participate in the conscription, may decide whether to go or not.

In class, they can no longer listen to lectures with peace of mind, and there is no hope of going on to higher education, so they are allowed to serve as class cadres and play a role in maintaining class order, which not only restricts them in disguise, but also makes some people grateful for it.

I remember one time, a student was chased and beaten and hid in the teacher's dormitory in the old teaching building, Principal Zhou and his father and some other elders stood at the gate together, not giving an inch, and finally drank them back, successfully protecting the student.

Selfless so, at that time, my father served as the head teacher of a class in the third grade of junior high school, and the student happened to be a student in his class, and he was a class cadre appointed by his father.

Just because I don't have it doesn't mean that other students don't, in the boys' dormitory, there are often some tyrants who force the rural children in the boarding room to come up with pocket money, and even bring rice and vegetables. Later, I also heard that because he didn't like some young teachers, he gathered and beat up the elderly teacher.

I was small and thin, and I had the shyness and timidity of rural children, so I never participated in it, but Mr. Huang's youngest son was involved, and his academic performance was very top-notch, but because of his involvement, he abandoned his studies and finally failed to be admitted to high school.

Affected by the bad social atmosphere, some of these students involved in it have fallen in love, young and frivolous, and use this as a kind of show-off, as a talking point, constantly boasting in front of us, and some girls and even female teachers are said to be useless in their mouths.

Although I was not bullied, the impact was the same, after dinner, I went to a nearby market town with my classmates to play, walked on the street, often trembling, for fear of being unpleasant to the eyes of these people, and was beaten in vain, and there was no place to reason.

As long as you encounter such a person, as long as you find that your vision is not good, you will immediately withdraw your gaze in horror and avoid it from afar. During recess, if you can talk to such a student, you will be very happy and feel a sense of security.

Although always careful, but there are always exceptions, once I don't remember what the reason is, offended a student in the same class who was a few years older than me, to go home to pass by his door, he blocked there to chase, the sister who was with him was not afraid of him, picked up the umbrella while scolding and resisting, under the influence of my sister, I also fought back, scared him away, and later when he passed by, he did not dare to chase our sister and brother.

Yushita Middle School is just a microcosm, and by the time you enter high school, this phenomenon still exists, not only does not decrease, but because of age, it becomes more intense and lasts for a long time.
