"What are your plans in the future?"

"Plan? I hope I can go out one day earlier and be filial to my parents." Scarface replied sadly.

Scarface’s answer is not something that is intimidated by the power of the state’s dictatorship, nor is it a “discovery of conscience”. This is related to something that Li Siming saw when he first entered the labor reform farm.

When Scarface saw other people's family visiting each other every now and then, he was very envious, so he wrote a letter home, spending the labor reform money of several dollars a month on buying envelopes and stamps. However, a few years later, his family still did not come. In the end, he finally became anxious and wrote a letter to his family for breaking up.

His parents were only one child, but in fact they wanted to see him for a long time, because the family was too poor and could not even borrow the travel expenses of dozens of yuan. When they received the letter from their children's divorce, they could no longer sit still. After careful consideration and preparation, they decided to go to see their son. They pulled out the cart at home and carefully checked whether there was any air leakage in the tires. Feeling that there was no major problem, they spread the only slightly newer quilt in the house on the car and then set off for the labor reform farm. On the road, the old couple always kept one pulling the cart and the other resting in the cart. Whoever was tired would rest, but the cart could not be stopped. His father couldn't bear to make his mother tired, so he buried his head in pulling the cart. He was urged to change shifts and rested.

Because he walked a long way, his father's shoes were quickly exposed. They did not expect that when his mother picked the thorn in his father's feet, she shook her head in anger and sighed constantly, but the road still had to be rushed. From morning to night, she walked until it was dark until it was dark and couldn't see clearly, so she found a wooden stick to get a car. The two of them slept in the ground for a while. When it was dawn, they started rushing again. It took them more than 100 miles to arrive.

The labor reform farm is different from the prison. There, the family members of a prisoner came to visit. A circle of prisoners was accustomed to the situation, so many prisoners were present. That day, they learned that the old couple was hiking from a hundred miles away to see their son. Everyone present was shocked! Especially when they saw the black toes poked out from the worn shoes, the onlookers burst into tears, and even the discipline cadres turned around to wipe their eyes. At this time, with a "thump" sound, the scarred face knelt heavily in front of their parents.

Seeing this, others hurried up to pull him, but no matter what, he just knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. When the discipline cadre spoke, he didn't care about him. He should kneel down. After that, he left his scar face and forced the old couple to the cadre cafeteria, and told the chef who was cooking to make some noodles. After a while, two large bowls of noodles were served. It seemed that the old couple was really hungry and didn't push them too much, and they didn't sit on the chair. They squatted in place and started eating big mouthfuls. After a while, they ate all the noodles and were sweating all over.

Afterwards, the disciplined cadres came over again and held a handful of change in their hands: "Uncle, aunt, this is the money we have raised. There is not much money, so we have a little intention." However, no matter what, they refused to accept it, and kept muttering: "This is troublesome enough, how can you ask for your money?" They turned around and said to their son who was still kneeling on the ground, "Baby, you must make good changes here. When the wheat harvest next year, your father and I will come to see you." His father retreated far aside, and used his hand that was hit with a lot of sandpaper, and the wooden stick was doodled on the ground.

Originally, the family members only had half an hour to visit, and the discipline cadres felt that it was not easy for the old couple to come, so they tried to relax their time. Finally, they looked at the child silently for a long time before they set off reluctantly. Before leaving, they struggled to drag a big sack off the cart. They said that the child was working here to renovate and were afraid that he would not be able to eat enough, so they left him some food and waited for his son to eat slowly when he was hungry.

Looking at the old man's back as he turned around three times, Scar's face was still kneeling on the ground, full of tears. People felt sore and wondered, what is the food like this big sack? Since they brought food, why are they still hungry? Two prisoners came forward to help pick up the sack. One of them accidentally did not grab the sack's mouth, and the sack fell to the ground with a "bang". Suddenly, a pile of round things jumped around the ground! After a closer look, it was full.

The rolling earth was filled with steamed buns, with hundreds of them! The big, small, round, and flat ones were not the same - obviously, they were not from a cage, and the steamed buns had been dried half dry. Seeing these, people seemed to have been slapped hard in the face, which was so hot that it hurt! Some people also knelt down with a "thump". This move seemed to be contagious. Only when they heard the "thump" and all the prisoners present knelt down together!

I can't imagine the scene of the old couple hiking a hundred miles to see their son. I can't imagine how the old couple asked for so many steamed buns from door to door! What's most heartbreaking is that they were afraid that their son wouldn't finish it for a while, so they pulled the cart and dried steamed buns in the cart. The sack was not filled with steamed buns, but clearly a bag of fresh hearts and a bag of parents' hearts! It hurts people's eyes and the souls of laborers! At this time, a heart-wrenching shout came from his ears: "Dad, mother, I'll change it!" That was the only sentence that the scarfaced man said during his visit to him. The four short words resounded through the sky and hit everyone's hearts heavily.

Scarface's words touched Li Siming a lot. Li Siming was born an optimistic person, a maverick, and didn't care about anything. The suffering in life and political shackles did not make him depressed, because in his opinion, the future was bright. This was a place where Li Siming was incompatible with this era, and it was also one of the most important reasons for him to suffer from prison. What made him heartbroken was that his parents had to worry about themselves because of their unfair treatment, which was something Li Siming didn't want to see.

"It's better to leave this place early!" Li Siming made up his mind.

In the spring of 1977, an investigation team entered the farm, which seemed to be commonplace to the people in labor reform farms, but I don’t know who was lucky this time.

This time, we came to investigate Li Siming's problem. The actions of Xu Dashui and others played a role, but the most important thing was not them. Li Siming later learned that someone in the Shenyang Military Region directly put pressure on the Construction Corps. In fact, the large-scale rehabilitation of unjust, false and wrong cases was in 1979.

Li Siming was called to the office of the field department, and the people in the investigation team were all active-duty soldiers. Coincidentally, there were people he knew about this investigation. The female soldier in charge of the record was still the same. This person probably knew him clearly. Li Siming thought so. Compared with the last time, these people looked much more pleasing to the eyes. The atmosphere was also very "friendly". Li Siming told all his things, and of course, he would inevitably put the blame on the "Gang of Four".

"Comrade Li Siming," called Li Siming "comrade", which made Li Siming feel a little relieved. The leader said, "We all know what you said. The accusations you have been subjected can be ignored, but how do you explain the most important one about you slandering Chairman Mao's 'People's War Thought'?"

"Well, I said before that this is my family's opinion and belongs to the academic category. Of course, I am a little unsophisticated and there must be some inaccurate understanding. But it is by no means a denial of the glorious military thought of the great leader, but it is just some theoretical supplements I have made." Li Siming knew what his biggest crime was.

"You are very confident, but it is hard to believe that this is something you can write at your age." The other party asked seriously.

"Yes. Because I am more interested in military affairs, what I admire most is the glorious military history of our army and have some understanding of the invincible battle examples of the People's Army. I also have some research on this aspect in daily life. Diligence can make up for my shortcomings, so I wrote it myself, without being revised by experts, it is entirely a one-man statement. Just think it is nonsense!" Li Siming knew that he couldn't explain clearly, so he had to attribute everything to "personal interests" and "making things up", at least showing that he had no "sincere intentions".

What he didn't know was that the other party had read all the five pamphlets he wrote for decades. Although some of the arguments did not agree or understand, they also believed that they were absolutely valuable. What's more, these pamphlets were taken away by several senior generals when Li Siming's case was just taken out of a file bag. Legend has it that some people even argued for the views of these books. But no matter which general, they believed that the person who wrote these books was at least a military genius in theory!

Since the tone has set the tone, re-examination of Li Siming's case is just a formality, and the original reporter admitted that it was a wrong case, so the other party did not make things difficult for him. Both sides ended the interview in an atmosphere of "equal and friendly" situation.

PS: The plot about Scarface Parents is taken from a short article on the Internet. I think it is very touching. I put it here to let us feel the heart of poor parents in the world!!! It feels like not distinguishing between the primary and secondary and comparing the number of words.

In addition: Some readers have developed too slowly in the previous episode, read too obscurely, and are not in high mood, which is indeed the case. But if you don’t describe it, you will feel it is too simple. The next chapter will start with a small climax.

If you scold me, just use the ticket to smash me!!!
Chapter completed!
