Provincial Party Secretary

Chapter 29
Ju Lingran and Gao Tianpeng shook hands heavily, and walked away proudly with the steps of a soldier.Looking at the disappearing back of the old man, Gao Tianpeng felt an invisible coercion.Don't say that Gao Tianpeng can't be offended by this old guy, even the superiors should respect him!If he gets stubborn and makes things big, it will be difficult to clean up.Strange, he stayed at home and worked on memoirs with his son after retirement, and never asked about world affairs, and who told him all this?Looking at him like that, he seems to know everything in his chest.It seems that Ren Liang has a background, and there is indeed a powerful undercurrent that challenges his authority in F Province. He feels that a crisis is looming towards him...

So, Gao Tianpeng sat on the desk, called Chen Yuanbin's internal number, and called him into the office.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Order, tell me what a fart!" Gao Tianpeng uttered a foul language suddenly, furious, "You go and make troubles, come on and make troubles, make yourself to death, I will fall with you too, it's over!"

"Boss, what did I do wrong..."

"You can understand what you did wrong. Let me tell you, that Ren Liang matter, stop here, don't do it too badly!"

"This……"

"What are you still doing in a daze? Go, go and handle Ren Liang's affairs, let him go if you can, and let him be lenient if you can. Do you hear me?"

"Understood, Secretary Gao."

It's been like years for me to stay in this damn place.Let life be wasted away in humiliation and drudgery, and I can feel nothing but pain.

I was born in a poor family, and I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness.When I was young, I worked overtime on a construction site. I once set a record of four days and four nights without blinking an eye. Even now, it is not uncommon to work overtime all night long for work.Tired is tired, but I am full of energy.Because that kind of tiredness can give me a sense of accomplishment and the pride of contributing to the country's construction, so even though I am suffering, I am honored, and even though I am tired, I am happy.Today, this kind of labor based on the premise of losing freedom brings me not only physical fatigue, but also mental torture.I have always figured that this is not just my own misfortune, but a disgrace to our society.A person who should not lose his freedom is deprived of his freedom by a person who should lose his freedom. This kind of pain is my physical and mental humiliation, and it is also a pain in our society...

I fell ill again, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't straighten my back.I really hate myself. When I was young, I only cared about work, but forgot to protect my body.Overdrafting health and life is the price of life-long suffering from illness.If time could be turned back, while working hard, I would also choose to be healthy.

Counting with my fingers, I have been in the labor camp for half a year.Half a year, but more than 180 days and nights.Tao Qi's running around to complain to no avail, is it true that I really want to stay in this kind of place for two years?I believe that justice will prevail in the end.However, can the sacrifices made for justice like ours be compensated for by victory?Life, like time, is one-dimensional, and once gone, it will never return.Two years of life have passed away, and victory will not add two more springs to the lost life.I am in pain and sad.I would have chosen the end of my life if it were not for the belief that justice will prevail in the end.

I wondered whether Chen Yuanbin and his like had colluded with the labor camp to torture me inhumanely.I have injuries, and if I do heavy physical work for a long time, the injuries will recur, but the labor camp ignores these and always assigns me to do heavy work, which makes my injuries more and more serious... If things go on like this, will my body support me? Will they be able to endure the two years of humiliation until the day when justice triumphs...

The labor in the labor camp is arduous.There is no reduction because of my age, status, or physical condition, unless I am too sick to move.I have to participate in the coolies in quarries, sand pits, and loading and unloading trucks.I also gritted my teeth and worked hard. I don't want others to see Ren Liang as a coward who is afraid of labor.No matter what the situation is, labor is always honorable. It is only when labor is regarded as a means of punishment that I feel humiliated and even complain about labor.

Something happened to me today.A young policeman who had returned from visiting relatives in the city found me and slipped me a package.Said: "I went to visit your wife, she told you to stand up, she is appealing for you. I also went to see Dean Ji Gang, he said he wants you to believe that you are innocent, he and his comrades are running for you .This is the medicine your wife bought for you. Dean Ji bought two bottles of honey for you, and I also bought some nutritional supplements for you. Take care..." At that moment, tears blurred my vision, but did not fall.I have no reason to cry, I was moved by the trust, and added the confidence to win...

A long illness becomes a doctor, that's right!I have been sick for a long time, and I have been taking medicine for a long time to seek medical treatment, so I have a subtle and personal experience and understanding of pathology and pharmacology.So, can one become a legal expert after being in prison for a long time?I think so too.Sent in prison at least once, you will have a better understanding of the law and a deeper personal experience.

I'm thinking about a legal question.Are reeducation through labor personnel criminals?I am not proficient in the law, but I am by no means legally illiterate.I know that reeducation through labor is not a criminal punishment, so the detainees in reeducation through labor are not criminals anymore?However, if there is no crime, why should it be punished by means of punishment for crime?The biggest feature is the usual means of punishing crimes - deprivation of personal liberty.From the perspective of survival, the treatment and situation of reeducation through labor inmates is far worse than that of inmates.For another example, if there is no minor violation of the law, he can be sentenced to two years of labor camp and lose his personal freedom for two years, while the criminal punishment is three months or six months in prison.Criminals can lose their freedom for only three months, while non-offenders lose their freedom for two years. Is this an omission in the legislative system?Yes, if I can get out alive, I will discuss it with people in the legal profession and suggest reforms...

Ren Liang was lying on his bunk in the cell, reading the diary he wrote in the labor camp.Today, due to the relapse of his injury, he rested in the prison cell after taking injections and medication.The weather has turned from hot to cool, and there is a cool breeze blowing in through the window, which makes me feel refreshed.The cell is small, about 10 to 72 square meters, with two single iron beds with bunk beds placed against the wall on each side, housing eight reeducation through labor inmates.The walls of the house are somewhat mottled and stained. The quilts of each bunk are folded neatly, with edges and corners.Ren Liang slept in the lower bunk on the left side.Tired of reading, he left the diary, closed the diary, took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, put on the glasses again and sat up.Slowly got up, walked slowly to the door, and opened it.Go out and walk into a narrow corridor.The corridor is very long. Along the corridor, there is a row of cells similar to the one he just came out of.The outside of the corridor is densely welded with 1mm steel bars, and the door leading to the outside is a large iron gate.The windows and transoms of the house are all equipped with thick steel bars. If you are in this cage-like small world, if you want to go out and go to the free world, unless you are let out, you will not be able to escape without the Monkey King.There was an open space outside the cell, which became a small courtyard.Green grass grows on the open space, and willows with fluttering green silk are planted around. The green grass turns yellow and withers due to the autumn solstice, and the willow leaves begin to drop.There is a layer of golden yellow leaves on the ground.As soon as Ren Liang was thrown into this cage, he noticed this open space. From an architectural point of view, it is scientific to leave this open space to facilitate the lighting and air circulation of the house.However, the people who planted willows at that time did not know what kind of creativity came from, what aesthetic school did they come from?Anyway, the softness of the willows and the solemnity of the prison dormitory are inconsistent in style.In this kind of venue, tall pine trees or majestic cypress trees should be planted to achieve the unity of the situation.Standing in the cage where she lost her freedom, she saw the beautiful figure of Yangliu Posha, which was a bit nondescript.But if you think about it deeper, it’s not always the case. Maybe the creators have other meanings.Softness can overcome rigidity, and crimes are usually the product of excessive rigidity. Here, soft things are mixed in, and the willow silk is elegant, which can remind people of a girl's hair, the tenderness of a wife, the warmth of a mother's love, and the infinite scenery of spring. The tenderness and sorrow of the prisoner arouse the longing for freedom, so as to achieve the purpose of reforming the prisoner and making him repent.With this understanding, I feel that the original creators were well-intentioned and profound.Humans are really hard to explain.Their thinking is unclear, and [-] people have [-] understandings of the world.Even the same person, in [-] situations, has [-] understandings of the world around him.The so-called "environment is created by the mind" in Buddhism may refer to such a state...

The iron door leading to the outside world opened, and a young police officer walked in.Seeing Ren Liang staring at the open space stupidly, he asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah..." Ren Liang turned his head and hurriedly stood at attention, "Report to the discipline, I'm looking at the scenery."

"The scenery here is nothing to see."

"It's not pretty to look at, but it's better to have a view than no view."

"Is your stomach feeling better?"

"I got an injection, took medicine, and lay down for a while, and the pain didn't feel so bad."

"Go and pack your things, come with me."

"Where?"

"You'll find out later."

"Yes!"

After staying in this place for a long time, people have become machines.In this world, there is only obedience, and no self is allowed.When he first came in, Ren Liang was somewhat resistant to discipline. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that they were doing routine work and there was no need to make things difficult for them, so he cooperated with the police officers in their daily behavior.He heard the policeman tell him to leave now, without thinking too much, he hurried into the house, packed up his simple "outfit", put it in a big bag he brought in from outside, put it on, and went out silently .It wasn't until he got out of the iron gate that he asked himself: Where are we going?Are you letting yourself go?Or change places?Don't think so much, take one step at a time, anyway, if you don't hold the reins of fate in your hands, it's useless to think about it!
Ren Liang was taken into an office in the labor camp.As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned. Tao Qi, the good wife he thought about day and night, was sitting inside.He threw away his bag, stepped over in a few steps, stepped forward and held his wife's hand...

"You came……"

"Here I am. I'll take you home."

"Go home?" Ren Liang didn't seem to hear clearly, staring at the labor camp staff at work and asked again, "Can I go home now?"

"Yes." A police officer who looked like a leader said, "In view of your physical condition, the superior leader agrees to grant you medical parole."

"Bailed for medical treatment?"

Ren Liang murmured, feeling a little disappointed.That is to say, it is not release, not rehabilitation. His labor camp punishment has not been lifted, and his status as a criminal has not changed.So he walked out of the heavily guarded gate with Tao Qi hand in hand.Standing at the door, looking back at the door full of his humiliation, he couldn't help crying, and hugged his wife tightly...

From the day of criminal detention to today when he walked out of the labor camp, Ren Liang spent 200 days and nights of deprivation of freedom!

Accompanied by Tao Qi, Ren Liang had just returned from the medical examination at the hospital when a silver-gray car stopped downstairs at his house.

The car door opened, and two elderly people walked out.The tall old man walking in front shouted loudly to Ren Liang's house: "Is Comrade Ren Liang at home?"

Ren Liang, who had just sat down to drink water, heard the shout, and immediately went out, stood on the balcony and looked down.Seeing a familiar old man looking up, he asked, "Excuse me, old comrade, are you looking for me?"

"Are you Ren Liang? I'm looking for you."

"Ah, Secretary Ju..."

Ren Liang recognized him, and it was Ju Lingran and his son who were standing downstairs calling him.He yelled to the room, "Secretary Ju is here," and ran downstairs in a hurry, holding Ju Lingran's hand.

"Comrade Ren Liang, you have suffered. I see you are here."

"Secretary Ju, thank you very much for avenging my grievances and upholding justice for me."

"Redressing grievances, what are you redressing, haven't you redressed your grievances yet?"

"Go up and sit down, Secretary Ju."

"No, I still have an appointment. My son is a writer. If he wants to interview you, just stay. Hey, what are your plans?"

"Continue to complain, I don't believe that dark clouds will always block the sun."

"Okay, I'm kind!" Ju Lingran punched Ren Liang in the chest, "In wartime, I will definitely send you to lead the commandos! Don't be afraid, the party and the people are behind you. Okay, what can I do to help you?" , Say hello to me, old man, I will run errands for you!"

"thank you so much……"

Ren Liang's eyes were wet, and after watching Ju Lingran's car drive out of the compound and disappear, he went upstairs with Ju Zhengqing...

After Ren Liang returned home, the phone at home has not stopped. People he knows, people he doesn't know, friends, and people who have had disagreements with him in the past, all expressed their support for him.Hope he is strong and not discouraged.His letter box was full of letters, postcards, offering him evidence, clues, and solidarity.The e-mail box is also filled with messages of solidarity...

It took Ren Liang a week to write down more than 2 words of complaint and report materials, printed dozens of copies, and posted them everywhere, carrying the materials and the solidarity emails sent to him by people, the complaints of one unit and one unit, report……

Ren Liang's behavior alarmed Chen Yuanbin and his gang.Angrily, Chen Yuanbin called Liu Lianggui and several brothers from the Public Security Bureau together, and ordered them to severely punish Ren Liang, who "will never repent."Under the planning of Chen Yuanbin, Liu Lianggui and others, the Linzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau set up a task force for the "Ren Liang Frame Case", and bad luck once again befell Ren Liang...

One afternoon, half a month after he was released on medical parole, Ren Liang was on the phone at home to report the situation to the relevant department. Before he hung up the phone, a police car roared to Ren Liang's downstairs, and several policemen walked into his home.Ren Liang thought it was the Public Security Bureau who came to ask him about the situation, so he warmly welcomed them into the house, and was about to turn around to make tea, when the leader of the police waved him to stop him: "Don't move, we are ordered to detain you for interrogation. "

"This...why?"

"Ren Liang, you are a reeducation through labor intern on bail for medical treatment. But after you were released on bail, you ignored the law, jumped up and down, incited social unrest, and framed party and government leaders. We are the special case team of the Public Security Bureau. We charged you with 'framing suspicion' Detention and interrogation."

"I'm complaining, not framing others."

"But why are you biting others?"

"I was framed and arrested. If I don't prove that they committed a crime, how can I prove my innocence?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Sign it!"

After signing, the special case team handcuffed Ren Liang, put him into the police car again, and drove away.Behind him is Tao Qi's heart-piercing angry cry...

Ju Lingran broke two teacups in a row in the living room.

"What's the matter? The sky has changed? Are we old guys just letting them spoil the country that we old guys fought so hard? Well, I'll go out and fight with you, let's see who has fought whom? If you have the ability to arrest me, Keeping company with Ren Liang. I am not afraid of death or going to jail. I have died many times during the war. I lived to be 80 years old, and death is considered my birthday. Whoever wants to ruin the country of the Communist Party, I will never end with him..."

Tired of falling and yelling, Ju Lingran panted heavily and sat down on the sofa.Ju Zhengqing's son, a major officer in the army, and Ju Zhimin, who came back to visit his relatives, hurried forward to beat his grandfather's back.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. How can you fight against corrupt elements when you are so angry?"

"Well, your kid said it well. He is calmer than your grandfather, and has the demeanor of a general." Ju Lingran's anger immediately subsided by half, but he sighed, "Grandpa is old, and in the war years, these guys should all Military law is used, beheaded and shot, and no one will be left."

"Military law is practiced in war years, but law is practiced in peacetime. Those who commit the most heinous crimes can still be beheaded and shot." Ju Zhengqing also stepped forward to appease the old man.

"Yes, they should follow the law!" Ju Lingran grabbed his crutches, stood up and said to his grandson, "Boy, follow Grandpa!"

"Where are you going? Grandpa?"

"Go to the Provincial Party Committee and find Gao Tianpeng!"

"Dad, didn't you go to him last time? If it was useful to find him, this matter would have been settled long ago. I don't think he is sincere at all, and he has great power, so it is useless for you to look for it."

"Is there no room for reasoning in this world?" Ju Lingran seemed to be asking his children and grandchildren, and also seemed to be asking himself.He knocked the ground subconsciously with his crutches, and suddenly enlightened and said, "Look, am I old-fashioned or angry? Gao Tianpeng doesn't care, I'll go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. No one in Province F can control them all." Dude, can't the superiors still take care of it? Zhimin, accompany grandpa to Beijing to file a complaint tomorrow!"

"Grandpa, you are so old, and the journey is so far, or..."

"You kid is talking nonsense again. Jiang Ziya met King Wen at the age of 80 and led the army to fight? I can't even travel far at the age of 80? Grandpa is a hero who was rushed out of the flames of war. He is not a Bodhisattva made of mud. Wind and rain. That's it. Tomorrow, my grandpa and grandson will go. With you, a soldier, by your side, what's unsafe?"

"dad……"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, go and book tickets for me."

Ju Zhengqing couldn't hold back his father, so he had to call the logistics department, saying that the old father wanted to go to Beijing to see his comrades, and ordered two tickets for him.The logistics department did not dare to neglect, and had to arrange staff to accompany them.Ju Zhengqing said: "No need, my father disagrees. He is going out to visit relatives and friends. It is a private matter, so he should be accompanied by his family."

Early the next morning, the whole family drove Ju Lingran and Zhimin's grandfather and grandson to the train station, checked tickets through the special passage, and boarded the train.After a day and night journey, the train stopped at Beijing Railway Station.Because Ju Zhengqing had called Mr. Ju's comrades in Beijing in advance, they got off the train when someone greeted them on the platform, helped the old man out of the station, boarded the car, and checked into the hotel.After taking a shower in the hotel, Ju Lingran sighed and said: "Being an official is so much better than being an ordinary person. I, an official who has retired from his old age, is served so attentively, let alone someone who is in office. I don't understand. Why are people always dissatisfied?"

"Grandpa, you are satisfied because you think about problems from the perspective of 'public'; they are not satisfied because they treat the world from the perspective of 'private'."

"Well said. I'm going to use public characters to fight their private characters."

"Grandpa, you're tired from the car ride, go to bed early."

"Okay, rest, you can't work if you don't rest."

Ju Zhimin helped his grandfather lie down on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went to bed himself with the lights off.After a while, Ju Lingran snored loudly...
