criminal mentality

Chapter 44
, is the age of majority stipulated by the laws of our country. The arrival of this day means that from now on you will be an adult in the legal sense, no longer enjoy the protection of the minor protection law, enjoy the right to vote and be elected, and have complete behavior Ability to carry out civil activities and at the same time take full responsibility for what you have done.what a wonderful day.
May 1997, 5, today is Gu Liang's birthday, no one except the experts in the psychiatric hospital in City A probably remembers it - parents feel disgraced because of such a mentally abnormal child, since three years ago Gu Liang came in and moved out of City A in a hurry, and never paid a single glance at him; when he was in junior high school, he sat in a corner and talked to himself, unable to communicate with others normally, and in the eyes of a group of fourteen and five-year-old children, he was synonymous with 'geek' , and later because he couldn't bear the pranks of his classmates, he stabbed him to death and received compulsory treatment, and his friends didn't get the next one-apparently, the experts remembered this special day not because of concern.

To let go or not to let go, that is the question.The juvenile court's original judgment was: Since the defendant was diagnosed with delusional schizophrenia by an authoritative hospital, the defendant was under the age of [-] at the time of the crime, and the death penalty was not applicable. He was sentenced to a mental hospital for compulsory treatment. The situation determines whether it can be released.In the mind of the judge, this poor child might not be able to last even half a year in a prison full of violent criminals, and he would be chewed until there was no bones left, and it was impossible to live to adulthood.This little bit of compassion prompted the judge to give him what he thought was best.

But the fact is that Gu Liang has been very quiet during the past few years in the mental hospital, actively cooperating with the treatment, taking medicine on time, resting on time, learning to draw at the doctor's request, not making noise, not causing trouble,.And he likes reading books very much, ancient myths and legends or modern science and technology, all comers are welcome.His room is different from other people's mess, things are placed very regularly.

Most people tend to release him.How much good reputation would such a successful model of mental disease treatment bring to their mental hospital, and he is still so young, at an average age, his life has not yet started, how can he just wither here like this?

However, Shao Yihong, the most authoritative chief physician of the hospital, disagreed.Dr. Shao took out all the paintings and notes of Gu Liang in the past three years, and distributed them to the seven colleagues present: "Everyone, take a look at these things. The darkness in these paintings and notes makes me very sure that it came from a minor. But these are the works of Gu Liang in the past three years. Under his gentle and obedient appearance, there is a dark and gloomy desire to kill. He lives in the hospital, under the supervision of so many of our doctors, Under the influence of the drugs, he is well-behaved and obedient. But what about after he is released? As far as I know, his parents have never seen him in the past three years. It is said that he has left City A. When he is discharged from the hospital, Who will supervise him? He is not a person with full legal capacity. Who can guarantee that he will always take medicine on time and live a peaceful life? Once he stops taking medicine, the long-suppressed desire in his heart will fully recover No one can predict the dire consequences. Colleagues, how can we put such a ticking time bomb back into society?"

"Director Shao, we understand your concerns, but we can't give up eating because of choking, we can't punish him for what he hasn't done, and deprive him of endless possibilities in life, right? Is this fair to him? It also violates our laws Does it mean giving people a second chance?"

This is the third time that the hospital has held a meeting to discuss the treatment of Gu Liang.Except for Shao Yihong who insisted hard, the other doctors agreed to release Gu Liang.In their eyes, Gu Liang is already the most exemplary patient in the hospital.Moreover, the government will only pay for Gu Liang's treatment until he reaches adulthood, and the patient or the patient's family will have to pay for the expenses after he reaches adulthood.The patient has no capacity for civil conduct, the family of the patient has long disappeared, and the hospital is not a charity organization. Doctors need to be paid, medicines need to be purchased with funds, and the beds in the hospital are already tight. Socially hazardous patients waiting to be admitted.

In the end, the dean signed Gu Liang's discharge form.Shao Yihong didn't say anything more, and he couldn't say anything more.Gu Liang really hasn't done anything yet.However, seeing Gu Liang's figure gradually disappearing at the main entrance of the hospital, Shao Yihong couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, feeling like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

15 years passed in a hurry, how many people were born, how many people died, never let time stop, 15 years, enough for a toddler to grow into a rebellious teenager, enough for a passionate youth to polish their edges and corners, and fall into mediocrity , It is more enough for a mental patient to disappear in the eyes of everyone and be gradually forgotten.

Fifteen years later, in City A, the pace of life is faster, and the relationship between people is more indifferent. Men and women living under high pressure in the city no longer have leisure time to waste time in love and romance. It is not uncommon to get married today and get divorced tomorrow.Even parents and children don’t have time to enjoy family happiness, and six-year-old children have to learn dance, calligraphy, piano, and painting every day.
The glamorous and beautiful city hides filth, brothers and sisters who turned against each other for money, cheated and betrayed in the name of love, powerful people do whatever they want, love, family affection, and friendship between people used to give way to money .

Gu Liang has been living alone for 15 years since he was discharged from the hospital.When he was released and freed for the first time, he also planned to find his parents, but there were countless people looking for them. Even his own grandmother didn't know where they went, and his grandmother's family avoided him like snakes and scorpions, so he became indifferent. thought.Under the arrangement of the Social Security Bureau, I went to the library to clean and organize books.This is what Gu Liang is good at and likes, so he and his grandmother depended on each other, living in a small house with one bedroom and one living room allocated to his deceased grandfather before his death, living a nine-to-five life, and his grandmother reminded him every day As long as he takes medicine on time, his life is going very well. He doesn't earn much, but he has enough food and clothing.

However, life can never be smooth sailing.The community they lived in was included in the old house renovation plan, and they were going to be demolished. The originally harmonious community fought every day because of the problem of demolition and resettlement fees. The brothers and sisters got two more dollars for whoever got it, and whoever took care less The parents quarreled all day long.And Grandma Gu has a serious heart disease and needs to rest. Such a noisy environment makes Grandma Gu's health worse.Three months later, when the dust settled on the demolition of the community, Grandma Gu closed her eyes peacefully.
