The weather is gradually getting cooler, the earth is a golden red maple leaf, and the childhood memories are more warm and moving, but there is also cool helplessness and coldness.
Principal Song Chao of Lanzhou Girls' High School
——A childhood memory of a school child
II. II. II
Author: 中 中.
The Cultural Revolution broke out, and the world was in chaos. Principal Song bore the brunt of the attack, and most of the teachers were imprisoned in the "cowshed".
Occasionally, I heard a few female Red Guards with red armbands talking mysteriously: Last night, Jiang Longji of Landa hanged ......Song Chao is locked up, how does she know?Wait until 12 noon to start broadcasting at the propaganda station before announcing the ...... to the public
Jiang Longji is the president of Lanzhou University, and the big-character posters on the streets criticize him as a "capitalist roader". He is also the lover of Principal Song.
In the past, the gray-climbing cow sleeper carried him to pick up Principal Song on Saturday evening, and we all saw it with our own eyes.
Now, he hanged himself ......Dead ......This has to be suddenly known to Principal Song, and it's no wonder if he doesn't faint completely!
I ran like a meteor to tell a few friends.
The proud sons of the campus in the past have now been reduced to the descendants of the "Black Five" puppies and the "Stinky Old Nine", but after all, "teenagers don't know what it feels like", and they are still "black" together when they have nothing to do.
Everyone felt that this news was unprecedented, and they rushed to the students' stove before lunch. At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", the canteen for teachers and staff took the lead in becoming a typical example of bourgeois hedonism.
And the porter Song Ye is unlucky. The students didn't know the Wang Xing Zhang Cao he wrote, and said that it was the "Four Olds". And because the rebels suspect that he has something to do with Song Chao, otherwise, why is Song Ye's surname "Song"?As a result, even people with words swept the floor and went out.
What's more, the big bell was inexplicably taken off and smashed. Zhong is not surnamed Song, and it has nothing to do with words, but it is a little old, which is probably the four olds in the "four olds".
There were still a few minutes left at 12 noon, but the "bull ghosts" had already lined up and waited solemnly under the willow tree in front of the canteen. They waited for everyone to go back to the window after they had finished cooking. Even if you eat it, you can only eat it on the spot, and the time limit is very short.
This day is really hell, the place where Principal Song eats is under the eaves with loudspeakers.
When the music of "The Sea Sails by the Helmsman" was finished, a female voice shouted hoarsely:
The largest capitalist establishment in the party of Lanzhou University: Jiang-Long-Ji-cut himself from the people and the party last nightJiang Longji deserves to die for his crimes, and he is more than innocent ......
At this moment, an unexpected scene unfolded in front of our eyes: no matter how deafening the horn above her head was, no matter how frightened the countless pairs of eyes around her were, even a few female Red Guards guarding them cast stunned and sympathetic glances at her from time to time, and she always silently ate the steamed buns in her hand, sometimes holding a few chopsticks and dishes in the bowls, but her movements were obviously much slower, so that the "cow ghosts" washed the dishes and fetched water, lined up for roll call, and sang loudly. All erroneous thoughts, all poisonous weeds, all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods should be criticized and ......The *** quotation song is gone, and she still eats the steamed buns in her hand silently, sometimes holding a few chopsticks and bowls of vegetable ......
Maybe it was an intentional arrangement, or maybe it was a conscience, the Red Guards didn't urge her, but just left one person on duty.
Finally, when she put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to leave, this person actually took a step forward and wanted to help her get the butterfly brand bamboo shell hot water bottle next to her.
Unexpectedly, she waved her hand slightly and refused, insisted on picking up the thermos by herself, and walked slowly and steadily to the water room ...... the adjacent canteen
We all had half of our lunch left. Witnessing such a scene, even the most stubborn child will be shocked and have mixed tastes. Among them, some people also indignantly choked their wrists and said:
It is ...... to insist that people are fake party membersWhat fake party member can be so frightened and look at death as home!”
President Song's biggest crime is "fake party member".
On that occasion, there was another meeting to criticize her, and in the auditorium, there was a sea of people, and the crowd was so angry that even the elementary school students who boycotted classes and made a revolution were organized to wave their flags and shout.
I belonged to the "children who could be educated well", and although I could not join the revolution, I wandered around the door of the venue and watched, but no one paid attention to me.
The criticism will end very late.
It must have been that President Song never admitted the charge of "fake party member", so that in the end, everyone dispersed, and there were still a few female Red Guards lingering outside the back door of the auditorium.
When Principal Song, who was physically and mentally damaged, stumbled out, they swarmed up, twisted her arms into a "jet" shape, and forcibly erected her under the outer wall of the laboratory, forcing her to confess that she was a "fake party member", otherwise, witnesses must be found.
Both the introducer and the informant sacrificed ...... in the war”
Then why didn't you sacrifice, ran away, and rebelled?”
Before the sound of the question fell, someone had already untied the military belt around his waist and beat Principal Song viciously. The iron buckle at the top of the belt occasionally hit the brick wall behind her, making a screeching metal sound.
In an instant, a woman's weak limb, like a dirt on the ground, collapsed. Blood poured from the top of her head, cheeks, neck, and arms......Soon, the shouting and questioning sounded again, and she tried to straighten up in pain, struggled to prop up her head, and shook it silently.
Hit ...... againAsk ...... againThe blood flowed more, and the body was weak, but the head that was held up several times was still silently shaking ......
Sneaking a glance at the backs of the ** who were gone stupidly, he suddenly came back to his senses from the horror.
I know them, and among them, the two who fought big were students of Aunt Yang Zhenghua on the other side of my family, in the second class of the third year of high school. An "old squad leader" who once played the ** dance in "Laundry Song".
A few years ago, on a starry summer night, she sang a famous Tibetan song repeatedly under the big locust tree in the playground - "Flying Geese", and the silver bell-like voice attracted us all.
A few times, when she sang so hard, she spun around and forcibly picked me up, singing and dancing, and was very happy.
But at this time, they had already cut their braids into Ermaozi revolutionary hairstyles, and when they saw me nearby, they didn't change their rebellious domineering attitude of "dare to pull the emperor off the horse", but they didn't coax me to leave.
Now, facing Principal Song, who was still paralyzed a few steps away, I was at a loss, and I just thought: If only she wanted something soft like a handkerchief, at least she could wipe the blood ......Suddenly, I subconsciously touched the triangle in my trouser pocket, which was folded with a cigarette case.
It's said to be a box, but it's actually still paper, a little harder than the paper in the homework book. The children fold it into a palm-sized triangle, then concentrate it into a long stack and throw it upwards in the palm of their hand so that it falls on the back of their hand intact.
This kind of game is called "Win Triangle", and whoever plays more wins.
I pulled out a few triangles, took them apart one by one, and handed them to her. After she took it, she first raised her hand to tuck the short hair scattered on her forehead to her ears, and then slowly wiped the blood from the corners of her eyes and mouth with the back of the cigarette pack.
The cigarette box paper is relatively hard, does not absorb water, and scrapes the blood stains one by one, like the flower face ...... Peking OperaSuddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked straight ahead, and it took a while for her to seem to recognize me, and she forced a wry smile
Oh - it's a middle school......Why is it late, why haven't you gone to eat yet......Go quickly, don't let Master Guan wait too long......”
Suddenly, her unkempt and bloodstained miserable state gave me a very visually impactful image - Zhao Yiman!
Not far from the cafeteria that day, I still thought that the hair ** next to me was a bit of a misnomer.
At that moment, I suddenly realized: Principal Song in front of me was beaten miserably, but he was still concerned about a child who hadn't eaten, and worried that the canteen master would wait too long for ......
If she is in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, if she is under the enemy's guillotine, if she is in the scum hole, she must also be Zhao Yiman, Liu Hulan, and "Sister Jiang" in "Red Rock"!
Graduates of a certain sector pose for a group photo in front of the auditorium, which was called Mei Ling Tong before liberation.
Shortly after the end of the Cultural Revolution, I met Principal Song on the No. 1 bus. Even though she had silver hair, she was delighted to recognize me. She was amazed at how I had grown into a young man, eagerly asked my parents how they were doing, and told me that although she was currently in the Education Bureau, she always wanted to go to the "Girls' High School" and even more wanted to return to the "Girls' High School".
At this moment, the "Women's Middle School" has long been renamed "Jikang Middle School", "Sanqi Middle School", and "Lanzhou No. 27 Middle School", but she is still Xi to the old name.
However, although I was also very excited, I wanted to know more about how the unjust case of her "fake party member" was corrected when she was rehabilitated.
The "Cultural Revolution" movement did not find any witnesses who were not "fake party members", and even she herself said that "those who knew were killed in the war".
Later, how could the truth be revealed overnight......
Many years later, I heard that President Song had passed away in Beijing. Who said that a good person doesn't live long, she lived to be a hundred years old!
At the end of the last century, it was rumored that the inscription of the school name of "Lanzhou No. 27 Middle School" was a fake, not Mr. Qigong's handwriting. Someone else insisted that I discern it.
You may think that I was there when the calligraphy was first taken back by the then principal Yu Zheng (who was a Russian teacher during the "Girls' Middle School" period) and framed and hung, but I didn't know.
One morning last year, I rode my bicycle to No. 27 Middle School, which is located south of the intersection of Zhongshan and Lin.
Unexpectedly, the name of the "Girls' Middle School" has been changed several times, but even the original "No. 1 Jiuquan Road" with white characters on a blue background in the upper corner of the gate has also been changed to "615 Railway Station West Road".
The ordinal number of Chinese culture has a tradition of respecting the head since ancient times, and now the school number has fallen to a few hundred, which can not help but make people feel sad that "the world is declining".
As for the inscription of the school name of "Lanzhou No. 27 Middle School", it is engraved high and vertically on the cement column on the side that is said to have no lintel to open the surface.
It can be seen that the doubts about this nearly twenty or thirty are not groundless. Because the original inscription was hung just above the hall at the entrance of the auditorium, the old-fashioned horizontal row, from right to left, and the inscription was vertically at the end of the left.
Now, the word order is erected, although the inscription is still on the left, but the name and chapter are not distinguished, and the yin and yang are not distinguished. Even if you think of this as a couplet, it seems a little weird.
Pick out the master's inscriptions one by one and rearrange them horizontally and vertically, whether this can be regarded as a fake, and he is only shallow in his learning, and he does not dare to make judgments, and he has the right to "fake and true, true and false".
However, I think of the defilement of President Song's "fake party member", which is by no means "doing nothing and having nowhere to do nothing". Even if "those who know are all killed in the war", the wind and rain of reality will inevitably peel off the traces of history.
Of these, people are the most credible interpreters, especially the people themselves.
In fact, President Song does not need any proof from "insiders" at all. Because, everyone proves everything about themselves all the time in their daily words and deeds.
If the "figure wearing a colored double-breasted Lenin-style yellow military uniform" can make the students of the girls' middle school relive the youthful dream of the school days, then let me piece together the admiration and nostalgia for Principal Song with the fragments of childhood memories.
