For decades, Song Fenghe has been accompanied by insulting words such as "lame" and "*", and what is hidden in Song Fenghe's heart is grievance, helplessness and shame.
The abuse and whispers of the people in the village have long made Song Fenghe numb, and the wife and parents at home have also been implicated to a great extent.
That time, he saved the lives of dozens of people alone, but more than 20 years have passed, Song Fenghe's reputation has plummeted, full of abuse and accusations, and Song Fenghe is also very helpless.
He is now busy with two things all day long, the first is to call the Youth League Committee of Jilin City, Jilin Province, hoping that he can join the group, and the second thing is to let his wife run to the post office every day and send letters back to people all over the country.
Why? At that time, Song Fenghe was already a patient paralyzed in bed due to an injury, for him, it really didn't matter whether he joined the group or not, why was he still so obsessed?
Things have to start from 1978 near the end of the year, this day Song Fenghe took a car from Qiqihar to the forest farm to work, near the end of the year, the pressure of passenger car transportation increased greatly, the original can only sit 50 people in the small car was stuffed into more than 80 passengers, the people on the car are crowded together.
Song Fenghe, who is in his twenties, is sturdy, wearing brand new clothes, and is ready to go to the forest farm to work for a few more days to earn money for the New Year, but when the car is halfway there, the cab suddenly stops.
After the cab **, the driver jumped out of the car from the side door first, but the electric door on the passenger's side could not be opened, and the windows were frozen together and could not be pulled at all, and the whole car was crowded in the second half of the car at a loss, and the exclamations and screams spread throughout the entire car.
At this time, Song Fenghe touched the axe on his waist, yes, he went to work in the forest farm, and he had an ax with him, so he split the surrounding windows without saying a word, and the surrounding passengers streamed out along the windows, Song Fenghe watched most of the people go out, and he jumped out of the window.
Unexpectedly, after jumping out, there were still passengers in the car shouting that their children were still in the car, so Song Fenghe looked at the burning carriage and jumped in through the window without hesitation.
After entering the carriage again, the inside was already flooded with smoke, and the choking smell made people breathless, Song Fenghe walked forward with his hands all the way, I don't know how many times he was burned by the fire, and the clothes and eyebrows on his body were also roasted by the fire to varying degrees.
After groping for a while, Song Fenghe first rescued an elderly man with impaired mobility, and then found the child who was left in the car, and then he jumped down from the car window with the child in his arms, and his back fell heavily on the ground, but the child was unharmed.
Less than a minute after rescuing everyone, there was a huge ** in the compartment of the passenger car, but fortunately, Song Fenghe saved everyone, and the whole car was able to escape unharmed.
The passengers on the car surrounded Song Fenghe and thanked him for saving his life, Song Fenghe, who was in his twenties, was a little embarrassed, and it was not until the afternoon that the rearranged vehicle received them, and the leaders of the passenger transport company took Song Fenghe alone for two meals.
Before leaving, the leader asked Song Fenghe, do you have any other requirements? If it weren't for you, the whole vehicle would be dangerous, and the loss would be great.
Song Fenghe didn't ask for anything, the leader saw that Song Fenghe's clothes and shoes were burned, and offered to give him a shirt and pants, Song Fenghe did not refuse the leader's kindness.
Just when he was about to leave, Song Fenghe suddenly thought of something, because he did not graduate from primary school and had a low level of education, so other peers in the same village were already members of the Communist Youth League, only he was not, he wondered if the leaders of the passenger transport company could write a letter to his hometown Youth League Committee.
With this letter, Song Fenghe was able to become a member of the Communist Youth League through the inspection, and one of the leaders at that time nodded and agreed, and also wrote down Song Fenghe's address, telling him that it would arrive in two or three days at most, and Song Fenghe went home happily.
But will things really go so well?
Song Fenghe happily returned home with his new clothes, but because his hair and eyebrows were partially burned, his father Song Gewen almost didn't recognize it, and Song Fenghe said goodbye to his family two days ago and said that he was going to work in the forest farm, how could he come back so soon!
It wasn't until Song Fenghe sat down that the family saw clearly that this unkempt person was indeed Song Fenghe himself, and Song Fenghe was very happy to tell his family about the process of saving people, and said that he would receive a letter of praise in a few days, and he would be able to join the group at that time.
The old man couldn't close his mouth happily, at that time, Song Fenghe's mother also fried vegetables and wine for him, and the family ate a meal very happily.
The next day, Song Fenghe walked back and forth in the village, whenever someone chatted, he would tell people about his experience of saving more than 80 people, and soon the whole village knew about it, Song Fenghe thought, the more people who know, the higher the credibility, and he will have a letter of thanks.
But after waiting for more than ten days, there was no trace of the original thank you letter, and the award certificate was nonsense, Song Fenghe thought that the leader was busy with work, and he would definitely send it as long as he remembered it.
This waited until one day after the Spring Festival, and the people of the Youth League Committee notified Song Fenghe to go to the meeting, Song Fenghe was overjoyed, he thought that the Youth League Committee must have received a letter of thanks and asked him to join the group quickly.
But after arriving, Song Fenghe found out that it was not the case, not only did the people of the Youth League Committee not receive the letter, but also knew that Song Fenghe got carried away when he told people outside, and immediately held a criticism meeting to criticize Song Fenghe for lying in order to join the group.
This time the hero fell to the bottom, Song Fenghe couldn't understand why the leader of the passenger station didn't send him a letter of thanks, what Song Fenghe couldn't accept the most was the rumors of the people in the village.
Everyone in the village knew that Song Fenghe was criticized, and they really didn't see the award certificate and thank you letter, so they all thought that Song Fenghe was lying, and for a while Song Fenghe became the village's "**** can no longer raise his head."
Not only that, Song Fenghe's family was also implicated, Song Fenghe's father Song Gewen had to save face all his life, but he didn't expect his son to lose face, and Song Fenghe's wife couldn't raise his head.
The incident had already happened, and Song Fenghe had also thought about writing a letter to the leader of the passenger station to verify it, but he didn't remember what the leader looked like, and he didn't know who to send it to.
If you go to verify it yourself, the cost of the road and the ticket is too high, and Song Fenghe can't afford it, so this matter can only be stopped, and Song Fenghe, who can't stay in the village, can only go away to work as a carpenter, and rarely return to his hometown.
After wandering outside for more than ten years, Song Fenghe has suffered a lot, but he thinks all the time, why didn't anyone send a letter of thanks back then?
In 1997, nearly 20 years have passed since Song Fenghe rescued people, Song Fenghe's memory of this incident has faded, and on the way home one day, Song Fenghe's tricycle was hung by a large truck, and Song Fenghe's right hand fell into a fracture.
In the process of **, Song Fenghe's right hand was not completely **, or left a certain root of the disease, not only that, in the process of examination, the doctor also found that Song Fenghe's sciatic nerve had a problem, which means that Song Fenghe will be paralyzed in bed in the future.
The family has lost its labor force, and only Song Fenghe's mother and wife are in her last years to take care of the family, Song Fenghe feels more and more aggrieved, has the organization really forgotten about this matter?
Time passed day by day, every time Song Fenghe lay in bed, he always remembered his deceased father, it was 1992, his father Song Gewen was critically ill, and in front of his father's bed, Song Fenghe had nothing to say.
In the end, Song Gewen said, for so many years, I have been doubting whether what you said is true, why did no one come to thank you? I don't doubt you, but I believe in the organization more, and they won't forget such a big thing.
After saying that, my father passed away with regret.
Song Fenghe's heart was tormented, and his family had kept silent about this matter for so many years, could it really have passed like this? Song Fenghe was unwilling.
So Song Fenghe thought that he could find a news ** to solve this matter, but Song Fenghe's culture was limited, and he didn't even know who to find.
After several twists and turns, finally in 2005, things ushered in a turning point, and the "New Culture Daily" published the story of Song Fenghe's rescue that year, hoping that the parties who knew about this matter could come forward to testify to prove that what Song Fenghe said back then was true.
Less than a month after the report was issued, there was a letter from Inner Mongolia, the content of the letter was very short, but Song Fenghe was so excited that he almost sat up from the bed.
The person in the letter said that his mother-in-law was a witness to the events of that year, and the whole family had been looking for a benefactor to express their gratitude.
After the matter was confirmed and continued to ferment, more and more people wrote letters to express their gratitude and sent a variety of thank-you fees, Song Fenghe was happy, but still asked his wife to return the thank-you fees sent one by one.
He just wanted to prove what happened back then, and he didn't want anyone's money.
In July 2005, the representative of the Righteous and Courageous Association of Jilin Province sent a certificate of merit and 30,000 yuan of condolences to Song Fenghe's family, and explained the events of that year.
It turned out that the leader of the year lost the address left by Song Fenghe, and later forgot about this matter, which caused Song Fenghe to endure gossip for so many years.
Judging from Song Fenghe's experience, all he wanted back then was a letter of thanks, but no one implemented this small request after receiving a response, which led to Song Fenghe's 27 years of grievances.
What our society needs is a good person who does Song Fenghe does good things and does not want to reciprocate, but the rescued and the passenger transport company cannot fail to report, but as long as the leaders of the year take this matter to heart, Song Fenghe should have a more wonderful life in the past 20 years.
Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, but what kind of reward did Song Fenghe get? Song Fenghe has suffered the grievances for more than 20 years, how to avoid this kind of tragedy from happening again, and how to avoid chilling the hearts of good people, this is a problem worth paying attention to in the future.
