Life without freedom is difficult, and even more difficult is life without dignity.

I didn't expect to have a morning jog in a prison in the United States, and after running around the playground for ten laps, I didn't have any appetite at all, but I didn't miss anything today.

As I drank the shrimp soup, I heard Lao Wu plead with the prison guard Sally to let me stay in the kitchen to help him cook, but Sally thought for a moment and flatly refused.

Sully did not say a reason, and here a reason is not needed to refuse the prisoner's request.

I followed the brigade of prisoners into the workshop and began to paste the boxes. This kind of work was boring and tedious, but the prisoners around me whispered in a variety of languages, and I did not hear the familiar Chinese in these languages, only to realize that I was the only Chinese prisoner here.

The glue is sticky, the smell is a little pungent, and it is sticky on the hands, which is very disgusting.

But a black prisoner across from me spilled the glue and shouted, "Sorry, I'm sorry!"

A prison guard came over, saw this, immediately became furious, grabbed the glue bottle, stuffed it into the prisoner's mouth, and shouted: "Immediately clean up!"

The black prisoner had a glue stick in his mouth and nodded in agreement.

It was only after the guard had left that the black prisoner spit out the glue stick in his mouth and glued the carton more carefully.

Because I only drank soup in the morning, my stomach was hungry quickly, but it was not time for lunch, so I had to fight hard.

Finally, it was lunchtime, and the prisoners began to leave the workshop in a procession, and I was about to go to the front row, when a large man stopped me with his thick arm and stood in front of me.

This guy was two heads taller than me, with long hair and tattoos on his exposed skin.

I couldn't afford to mess with him, so I had to endure it silently, but the prisoners in the back grabbed me one by one, and when I wanted to get angry, two prison guards took rubber rods and blew whistles, signaling us to line up and enter the dining room.

Although I was at the end of the line, I believe that Lao Wu will leave me food.

When it was my turn to eat, I was already dizzy from hunger, my limbs were weak, and then I looked at the window, there were only leftovers left in the stainless steel trough, and Lao Wu asked me: "Why did you come, the food is gone!" ”

I was deflated and said in frustration: "I can't squeeze these big guys, I can only be at the end of the line, what else do you have to eat here, as long as you can fill your stomach!" ”

Wu quickly grabbed a spoonful of minced meat from under the case and put it on my plate, then covered it with leftovers, and finally gave me a bowl of mushroom soup.

I thanked Lao Wu, and cautiously returned to the table with the plate, and the big prisoner showed me a treacherous smile, causing all the prisoners to laugh at me, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace, and when I passed the big man, he suddenly stretched out a leg, tripped me, and the plate in his hand fell to the ground, and the meat was spilled all over the ground.

The prisoners were in an uproar, and I got up from the ground, my anger rising, and I clenched my fist and was about to hit the big man in the face, but he didn't dodge.

A prison guard banged on the table with a rubber rod and shouted, "Hat you doing?"

I hurriedly replied in Chinese: "Report to the police officer, he tripped me with his leg and caused me to have no food!" ”

The guard looked at the big man and gave him a questioning look.

The big guy asked rhetorically: "Sir, hy is there meat in his meal and no meat in our meal?" He also deliberately picked up a plate for the prison guards to see.

I also looked at the big plate, and my right fist suddenly slammed out, knocking over the big plate and scattering potatoes and cabbage all over the ground.

The prison guard immediately gave me a stick, and the big man also stood up with a "pout", he was a head taller than the prison guard, and clenched it; He threatened me with his fist: "You knocked over my food, I have to teach you a lesson!" ”

I said, "You tripped me and left me with nothing to eat, and I also knocked over your food, and everyone went hungry together, and now it's fair!" ”

"Fair?" The prison guard also responded in Chinese, and then pointed at me and the big man with a rubber rod and said, "You two have a fair fight, this is fair!" ”

Although the big man didn't know much Chinese, he understood what the guards meant, and when he got permission, he immediately grabbed me from the ground, picked up a casserole-sized fist and slammed it into my face.

The prisoners immediately cried out, but the big man's punch missed, and his right arm quickly fell, and I fell to the ground with my steel fork stuck in his left shoulder armpit.

The big man angrily pulled out the steel fork from his armpit and glared at me, but my right fist had already hit him the chin, and I felt my fingers be shattered by the other man's jaw.

With this punch, I used the last of my strength, and the opponent's upper and lower jaws slammed into each other, and then fell backwards, slamming into the table, overturning large plates.

The prisoners screamed, grabbed spoons and forks, and gathered around me.

The prison guards immediately blew their whistles to signal the prisoners to back off.

I also collapsed to the ground, and as soon as my eyes went black, I fainted.

The guards immediately called for support over the walkie-talkie, and I was dragged out of the dining room, where the guards blocked the door of the dining room with electric shock batons and ordered the prisoners to crouch on either side of the table.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a single bed covered with white sheets, and a prison doctor was checking my pupils with a tiny flashlight.

“Nothing， he's just hungry!” The prison guard reported to Lei Bo.

The big guy was also sent to the prison doctor, and the prison guards pressed the big man's arms, exposing the stabbed armpits, and then wiped the wound with a cotton ball, and the big man immediately screamed, and the two prison guards pressed him to the rubber bed.

When the doctor had finished treating the big man's wounds, Lei Bo ordered two prison guards to take me back to my cell, and then brought me a piece of bread and a plastic bottle of milk, but I just didn't want to move as I lay in bed.

Sally walked into the cell and said to me, "If you still want to live, I advise you to hurry up and eat something, don't expect the prison doctor to give you an infusion!" ”

I was still lying on the mat and felt like I was already having a fever.

Sally turned to leave the cell, and not long after, a small man was sent in, and he said in stiff Chinese: "Since we are here, we must live well, and maybe we can get out of here!" "He's also yellow-skinned and black-eyed.

He picked up the bread and milk and was about to hand it to me, but I didn't have the strength to raise my hand.

"My name is Yoshio Yingo, I am from Nagoya, Japan, I have been to your country, I stayed in Shanghai for a year, and then I went to Wuhan, we are all men, and a manly husband can bend and stretch!"

Seeing that I was still unresponsive, the Japanese man put down his food, reached out and touched my forehead, and immediately shouted, "Sir, He has a fever!"

Sally quickly opened the cell door and came in, took out a mercury thermometer and put it in my mouth.

Yoshio explained to Sully in English, and three minutes later, Sully ordered him to take out the thermometer, which was already about 38 degrees Celsius.

Sa used the walkie-talkie to report my situation to his superiors, and the prison doctor quickly rushed over with a medical kit and checked on me again, but said that he had no antipyretic medicine, and could only use physical cooling therapy, and he had to force me to feed.

Lei Bo also rushed over, signaled to Sully and the prison doctor to leave, and he said to the Japanese: "You are responsible for taking care of him!" Don't let him die of illness here! ”

Yingnan Yoshio hurriedly agreed "hi hi".
