December 22, 1991, that is, the 66th day after "Mr. White Roll" Zhang Tiesheng was released from prison. In the small restaurant opened by Zhang Tiesheng's younger brother, a wedding was held for the groom Zhang Tiesheng and the bride Dong Liping.
At the wedding, Zhang Tiesheng said with emotion: "It was the brothers who helped Zhang Luo, we were involuntarily attending the wedding, videotaping, and taking pictures, the ceremony is much more complicated than in the past, I am a little unaccustomed, after all, we are people of that era!."”
So, after Zhang Tiesheng and Dong Liping got married, how did they live?
Zhang Tiesheng is a commune youth in Xingcheng County, Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, and has served as the captain of the production team.
When college enrollment resumed in 1970, Zhang Tiesheng wanted to go to college with all his heart. He believes that only by being admitted to the ideal university can he change the path of his future life.
On April 3, 1973, the ** Education and Science Section issued the "Opinions on the Enrollment of Colleges and Universities in 1973". Out of opposition, the "Gang of Four" gang was angry when they saw the "Opinions". For this reason, they colluded with Mao Yuanxin, a powerful figure in Liaoning Province, to slander cultural examination as a "malaise" in university admissions.
At the same time, Zhang Tiesheng passed the commune's cultural examination and was fortunate to be recommended to Xingcheng County to take the cultural examination.
In order to get good grades, Zhang Tiesheng hurriedly borrowed books to review his homework and sharpened his gun.
Although the exam is open-book, and the questions are not partial, Zhang Tiesheng only scored 38 points in the language test "The Experience of Studying "Serving the People", Zhang Tiesheng scored 61 points in the mathematics test, and Zhang Tiesheng only answered two-thirds of the first question in the chemistry part in the physics and chemistry test, a total of 6 questions, and only scored 6 points.
Faced with such a low score, Zhang Tiesheng shook his head helplessly. After all, I don't have any real materials, and this is also a normal play.
However, Zhang Tiesheng remembered that during his visit to the commune, he wrote a letter begging the leaders to go to university, and the self-righteous letter played a role. So, when he answered the physics and chemistry questions, he copied a letter entitled "Respected Leader" to the back of the answer sheet.
After the exam, Zhang Tiesheng looked for the leader everywhere and asked him to "consider him when admitting candidates".
After Mao Yuanxin learned about this matter, if he got a treasure, he asked people to call ** to transfer Zhang Tiesheng's exam papers and letters that night. As a result, Mao Yuanxin used this to "make a fuss".
Editor's note, although Zhang Tiesheng handed in a "blank paper" in the cultural assessment of university admissions, in a letter written on the back of the "white paper", he put forward "opinions" on "the entire route of university admissions", but "quite insightful and thought-provoking......It was painted with a "anti-trend" color.
After Mao Yuanxin sent people to report on Zhang Tiesheng's deeds, he applauded and said that "this method of doing this will block the young people on whom the proletariat has pinned their hopes out of the door, so that there is hope for revisionism and no hope for the proletariat." ”
In this way, Zhang Tiesheng, who wanted to find a way out by going to college and get ahead, became a so-called "anti-trend hero" after being touted by the "Gang of Four".
Zhang Tiesheng thought he was a pioneer of the education revolution in the Northeast, and his tail was getting higher and higher, and he gritted his teeth and hated "exams". As a result, in society, it has also caused a "professor examination style".
On December 30, 1973, Beijing made an "attempt". On this day, the Beijing Municipal Science and Education Group held a meeting and decided to conduct a "surprise attack" on the professors and conduct examinations. In the afternoon, Beijing gathered 20 cars and rushed to 17 colleges and universities with examination papers to take the professorial examination.
At that time, after getting the exam papers, some professors refused to answer the questions. As a result, only 53 of the 613 professors and associate professors who took the exam passed, 200 handed in blank papers, and 2 institutions all scored 0.
Almost at the same time, Shanghai, Tianjin and other places also appeared in the "examination style".
Originally, it was nonsense for professors and associate professors of different majors to get together and take the test questions of the same major. However, the questioners do not see the professors' strengths in their respective disciplines at all, and make a big fuss about the "test scores" in order to deny the necessity of university entrance exams and other exams.
For a time, this unhealthy atmosphere was pervasive in the major colleges.
Zhang Tiesheng, as a "model", under the personal support of Chi Qun and Xie Jingyi, before and after the Spring Festival in 1976, he made a lot of nonsense in Tsinghua University, Peking University, Dazhai and other places, echoing the greeting meeting held by the "Gang of Four", and won the appreciation of the "Gang of Four".
After the fall of the "Gang of Four", Zhang Tiesheng was sentenced to 15 years in prison for counterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement and conspiracy to subvert.
After the verdict, Zhang Tiesheng was detained in Lingyuan Prison in Liaoning Province. In prison, he "worked and studied part-time". While doing dry mining in an asbestos mine, I learned about medical care. In addition, Zhang Tiesheng also reads some history books.
According to news media reports at the time, "Zhang Tiesheng said in prison that he was guilty of the motherland's education, and that the residual poison of that 'white scroll' has not been eliminated to this day." ”
Zhang Tiesheng told the prison guards that he now has a deep understanding of the importance of knowledge, and that he will study hard in the second half of his life, and is ready to strengthen his study of medical knowledge in prison, and when he returns to the county seat after being released from prison, he will go to the most remote mountainous areas to see doctors for the common people for free, and impart knowledge to the children, so as to atone for his sins in the past.
Zhang Tiesheng was very active in reform, not only often making suggestions, including requesting the ** squadron to compile materials, changing teaching methods, etc., but also took the initiative to help the three prisoners study, and has been patiently tutoring.
In the summer of 1990, Zhang Tiesheng's family suddenly received a letter from the leaders of Lingyuan Prison in Liaoning Province, saying that Zhang Tiesheng had behaved well in prison and had changed from a veterinarian to a human doctor. Now he is the only one in the health center of Lingyuan Prison, who is both a doctor and a **, and is responsible for the treatment of more than 2,000 people in the prison.
Once, Zhang Tiesheng also rescued a patient who had a sudden cardiac arrest and was praised. In summary, the prison hopes that family members will come to visit.
After reading the letter, Zhang Tiesheng's family was very happy. The next day, Zhang Tiesheng's brothers hitchhiked to Lingyuan. Under the special arrangement of the prison leaders, Zhang Tiesheng and his family met in the prison office.
At first, Zhang Tiesheng felt embarrassed, and after pushing the door, he didn't go in, but turned around to leave without saying a word. Seeing this, his eldest brother hurriedly stopped him, and stepped forward to hug him and comfort him: "We know that you don't want to see people, but why bother?"”
At this time, Zhang Tiesheng was already in tears.
That night, Zhang Tiesheng learned from his younger brother that Dong Liping was still silently in love with him, and only hoped that he would marry him after he was released from prison.
After hearing Dong Liping's name, Zhang Tiesheng's heart chuckled. When they were in the College of Agriculture, they were "class friends" and "group friends".
However, more than ten years have passed. Zhang Tiesheng didn't dare to ask Dong Liping to remember him, but when he learned the news from his younger brother's mouth, he was extremely excited.
Immediately, Zhang Tiesheng wrote a letter to Dong Liping, describing his admiration and guilt for his old classmates. At the end of the letter, he wrote: "I hope that the first thing I see when I get out of prison is your ......."”
In other words, Dong Liping is a cheerful and kind woman, with the characteristics of a Kanto daughter's straightforward and fast-talking. She and Zhang Tiesheng met on a college campus.
Although Zhang Tiesheng became a "man of the hour" overnight, in Dong Liping's eyes, he is still a simple rural guy.
At that time, frequent contact and in-depth conversations made Dong Liping one of Zhang Tiesheng's "most tacit" classmates.
Zhang Tiesheng's hometown is in Lancheng County, Liaoning, and there is an object in his hometown. After enrolling for a long time, Zhang Tiesheng would occasionally talk to his classmates about the rural object. The classmates said that he said that now that the conditions are good, it is not better to find an ideal one.
Zhang Tiesheng shook his head, his attitude was still very serious on the issue of personal life. As a result, he also won the respect of many female classmates, including Dong Liping.
When Dong Liping tried to get closer to Zhang Tiesheng, he found that he was taken away by a police car. In those days, Dong Liping's mood was very sad.
In other words, the days will go on. Dong Liping, who studied abroad and taught, began to integrate himself into the heavy work in order to eliminate the misery and longing in his heart.
One day in 1983, Dong Liping saw the news of Zhang Tiesheng's sentence of 15 years from the newspaper. From other classmates, she also learned that the rural girl Zhang Tiesheng insisted on marrying had already married someone else.
After Dong Liping put down the newspaper, he took a deep breath and decided to wait for Zhang Tiesheng for 8 years. Because since the day of **, Zhang Tiesheng has spent 8 years in prison.
In the future, Dong Liping waited and fell in love, her 6 brothers and sisters have become a family, but she is still "guarding" at home. For this reason, her parents were heartbroken for her and were very anxious.
When her mother "forced" her to get married, Dong Liping said: "Mom, I'm going to get out of the house sooner or later, I just want to stay with you for a few more years, isn't it good?"”
Despite her mother's crying and persuasion, she remained unmoved.
On October 17, 1991, Dong Liping was outside the prison and finally waited for the person she had in mind. After meeting, Dong Liping smiled and said, "Do you remember?"When you first entered Tieling Agricultural College, I was the first to pick you up. Today is the first time I will pick you up, maybe this is fate!”
At the end of the same year, the two parties held a wedding. At the wedding, Zhang Tiesheng's mother took her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "It's really not easy for Liping to marry into our family, we have to take care of her." ”
On the day of the wedding, many friends from Dong Liping's unit also came to attend the wedding. Her unit also cared about her and specially assigned her a one-bedroom apartment. After the marriage, the house became a new home for the two.
Although there are no high-end household appliances at home, from the neat placement of items in the house, it can be seen that the hostess is an expert in managing the house.
This new house, in Zhang Tiesheng's eyes, is "paradise".
When others talked to Zhang Tiesheng about Dong Liping and the future, Zhang Tiesheng said: "After I was released from prison, I was unemployed at home, and I wanted to find a job that was not only suitable for me, but also able to contribute to society. For example, open a clinic. ”
Zhang Tiesheng said that someone asked him to register in the company or cooperate on some projects. In order to use Zhang Tiesheng's former fame, he did publicity and advertising. But Zhang Tiesheng said that he couldn't let Dong Liping worry about him anymore.
Indeed, Dong Liping was reluctant to eat and wear for the sake of her husband's life. For the sake of her husband's body, she did everything possible to make good food.
For his wife's dedication, Zhang Tiesheng also remembered it.
Because Zhang Tiesheng was unwilling to accept the ** interview after being released from prison, Dong Liping became the target of reporters' follow-up reports. When talking about the love history of the two, Dong Liping said two words: "understand".
