The night in the Gobi Desert in Shihezi, Xinjiang, is bitterly cold, and a truck struggles to move forward in the wind and sand, with faint lights swaying in the wind. The man sitting in the passenger seat opened the window and shouted with all his might: "Sister!".
Sister!Are you a**?I'm ......Before he finished speaking, he was poured into his mouth by the wind and sand.
The truck driver pulled the man into the car, and suddenly his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole mouth opened slightly. Following the driver's gaze, there was a thin figure walking slowly in front of the left side of the truck, with very thin clothes on his body.
He immediately recognized the familiar figure and shouted, "Aizhen, sister!."”
The co-pilot man immediately got out of the car to chase after the "ghost", and he said, "I'm going to pick up my mother, why don't you let me pick it up?."I'm wronged, I'm wronged. Although her brother was shouting beside her, Jiang Aizhen walked by herself as if she hadn't heard it, and kept muttering in her mouth.
Sister, I'm my brother, I'll take you home. As complicated as our past may be, I promise that we are innocent and that there is nothing to fear. Mom is still waiting for you in the hospital, we must go to her. "
When the woman heard her brother's words, the tears that flickered in her eyes gradually condensed into teardrops and fell on the sand and stones of the Gobi. The elder brother successfully brought Jiang Aizhen back to the staff dormitory of the 144th Regiment Hospital.
However, they didn't notice Jiang Aizhen's whisper in the car: "Innocence?".And innocence, Mom?Will I really ever see my mom again?Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Even though it was late at night, the do-gooders who heard the movement outside were all dressed and looked at the brother and sister through the window. The quiet staff dormitory is like a turbid ocean, with an undercurrent surging.
Dai Shuzhi, don't look at it, go to bed quickly, and I'll have to deal with the affairs of the on-duty clinic later. "When are you not busy at work?"Of course, sleeping is much more comfortable than seeing through shoes, this Jiang Aizhen has only been in the unit for a few years, and he has managed our people, there must be some backstage. ”
Dai Shuzhi said with a smile that if she didn't have to go to duty that night, she couldn't wait to put on her wings and go home to tell her husband Li Peihua. Dai Shuzhi, who was standing by the window, watched Jiang Aizhen's brother and sister gradually walk away, her eyes kept turning, and finally she seemed to be sure of something, and returned to the dormitory bed to lie down with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of her mouth all night.
On March 20, 1978, the dormitory building was filled with tension in the early morning. People who washed up early gathered in groups with expressions of horror or curiosity on their faces.
When Jiang Aizhen walked by, they would all shut up instantly, and they would dare to continue talking when she was far away. Some people even pointed directly at Jiang Aizhen's back, revealing deep disgust and contempt.
Suddenly, a leader stepped forward and said to Jiang Aizhen: "Jiang Aizhen, pause today's work first, I have something to ask you, follow me to the auditorium." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Aizhen's heart trembled slightly. She hadn't seen her brother since she had dropped her off at the dormitory last night. Now the hospital leaders want her to go to the auditorium, and although she wants to make things clear, she feels that things are a little unusual.
Title: "Behind the Justice" Content: The meeting was held in the auditorium of the 144th Regiment Hospital, and the audience was full of hospital employees and leaders of the Xinjiang Shihezi Construction Corps.
They seem to be fair, as if they want to return Jiang Aizhen's innocence. However, as the convention began, things started to go wrong. "Jiang Aizhen, do you admit your guilt? ”
Xie Shiping, the leader of the 144th regiment, asked sternly questions. "I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty. Jiang Aizhen's innocent voice echoed in front of the audience. However, her negative answer was exchanged for ridicule and discussion from the audience.
Under the reprimand of the host of the conference, the audience slowly returned to quiet. Then, Li Peihua, another leader of the hospital, stood up and began to read Jiang Aizhen's "guilt".
Although the audience was full, the fair verdict was filled with an atmosphere of injustice.
Jiang Aizhen, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, came to the Shihezi Production and Construction Corps in Xinjiang in 1972, although only the initial Chinese, but during the rural labor period, he performed well and had a clear political outlook, so he was recommended to the 144th Regiment Hospital to serve as **.
During her time in the hospital, Jiang Aizhen showed a high sense of responsibility and professional quality, which won the recognition of the hospital and colleagues. However, just after she joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1976, something unexpected happened.
Jiang Aizhen had ill intentions and had an improper relationship with Zhang Guozheng, deputy secretary of the Party branch of the 144th Regiment Hospital, during her stay in the hospital. They are complicit in using power and position to trade for personal gain.
However, the Sky Net was restored, and the leaders of the regimental hospital discovered their illegal acts in time and arrested the two on the eve of Jiang Aizhen's return to Zhejiang to visit relatives on March 17, 1978.
The regimental party committee has collected all the relevant evidence, and they must be held accountable for their actions. We ask you for the last time, Jiang Aizhen, do you plead guilty?
Jiang Aizhen was questioned and attacked by Xie Shiping and Li Peihua in turn, and could hardly think, after Li Peihua read the charges against her, she didn't even give Jiang Aizhen a chance to respond, and showed a big-character poster exposing her improper relationship with Zhang Guozheng in front of all the employees.
Those who do good deeds often suffer, but those who do bad deeds are often promoted. In the auditorium of the 144th regiment hospital, Xie Shiping and Li Peihua successfully convicted Jiang Aizhen of the crime, while Zhang Guozheng, as the deputy secretary of the party branch of the regimental hospital, was temporarily transferred from his post and waited for the decision of the superior leaders.
Although offstage, Xie and Li are leading the rhythm, they have become strong contenders for the post of deputy secretary, which even the blind can see.
3.17 events"The investigation was launched, and Yang Ming, deputy chief of staff of the 144th Regiment, served as the investigator. Xie and Li were a little flustered in the face of the pressure of the investigation, because they had no empirical evidence and only relied on human words and big-character posters to determine the case.
If the results of the investigation show that Jiang Aizhen is innocent, then their actions may backfire.
Li Peihua showed a calm side, and he proposed two strategies to deal with the current problem. The first is to spread rumors inside the hospital through Dai Shuzhi and Zhong Qiu, so that the incident will continue to ferment within the hospital, and at the same time find out those who support Jiang Aizhen and keep them silent until the investigators arrive.
The best way to do this is to get these people out of the hospital so that they don't interfere with the investigation. The second strategy is external, with Li Peihua suggesting that Xie Shiping approach investigator Yang Ming, and if Yang Ming enforces the law impartially, then they will consider other solutions; If Yang Ming had his own ideas, they would try to win him over, after all, Yang Ming would still need to deal with the people in the regimental hospital in the future.
If Xie and Li can take Zhang's place, then they may have more opportunities to work together.
Dai Shuzhi and Zhong Qiu began to carry out two ruses. They spread rumors inside the hospital, so that Su Tianyan, the cultural and educational officer of the regimental hospital who was upset with Jiang Aizhen, was transferred from his post, and successfully silenced those who wanted to speak up for Jiang Aizhen.
Xie Shiping also found Yang Ming, but Yang Ming was not convinced by Zhang Guozheng. They had a dispute during their work in the regimental party committee. Yang Ming's investigation was clearly aimed at framing Zhang Guozheng, and Li Peihua's plan was successfully implemented.
On March 30, 1978, Yang Ming held a meeting called "Clearing Innocence" in the hospital auditorium to question the connection between Jiang Aizhen and Zhang Guozheng.
Jiang Aizhen insisted that she was innocent, that her brother asked Secretary Zhang to take care of her, and there was someone to prove it. However, Yang Ming questioned the evidence and noted that Secretary Zhang and Jiang Aizhen were seen spending the night on March 17.
In the face of these evidences, Jiang Aizhen was a little confused. Yang Ming eventually announced the results of the investigation, placing Jiang Aizhen and Zhang Guozheng's "317 events "were qualitative, and the results were announced in front of the entire staff of the hospital.
Jiang Aizhen's reputation is because of "317" incident, and Zhang Guozheng's political career came to an end. The incident caused her to go insane, she lost her friends in the hospital, people avoided her, and even someone who took the initiative to contact her would be suppressed by Dai Shuzhi and Zhong Qiu.
Jiang Aizhen's life became bleak as a result, and she began to wonder if there was justice and fairness in this world.
In the earthly world, the sun and moon rise and set alternately, and ghosts and gods control the life and death of life. However, in the 144th Regiment Hospital, the power of life and death is in the hands of Li Peihua.
Every time she talks to Jiang Aizhen, Li Peihua will always unconsciously hint to Jiang Aizhen during the conversation, and even tell Jiang Aizhen directly later that if she breaks her shoes and is discovered, it is better to jump directly into the reservoir.
This explicit implication lasted for nearly half a year. However, what Li Peihua never expected was that although Jiang Aizhen had considered death, she still had unfinished business to deal with before she died.
On September 28, 1978, the 144th Regiment Hospital issued a notice asking the Corps personnel to go to the warehouse to collect ammunition and firearms with their real names, and go to the shooting range the next morning for firearms shooting training.
Among these training opportunities, there is the name of Jiang Aizhen.
In the eyes of others, Jiang Aizhen, who is identified as having mental problems, often becomes the target of their bullying, but Jiang Aizhen's courage and determination are unmatched. In the face of those doubts and ridicule, she did not flinch, but strengthened her determination.
When she walked into the hospital, she picked up a gun without hesitation and shot Li Peihua, and at that moment, her calmness and firmness shocked people. Jiang Aizhen said: "I swear, no matter what happens, I will not let you die in front of me." ”
killed Li Peihua, Jiang Aizhen went straight to Dai Shuzhi and Zhong Qiu's office with a gun, and the two were the ones Jiang Aizhen hated the most. Those few gossips not only led her to a dead end, but also drove away all the people who supported her, putting her under tremendous mental pressure.
Jiang Aizhen found Zhong Qiu first, and without any dialogue or hesitation, she shot directly and ended her life. Then, with the second gunshot, people realized that there had been a ** incident in the hospital, and they ran out of the examination room screaming.
Dai Shuzhi also met Jiang Aizhen in the chaos and was killed by her. After killing three people in a row, Jiang Aizhen was surrounded by the alarmed militia group, but she chose to surrender voluntarily and gave up her plan to pursue and kill Xie Shiping.
The Shihezi People's Court in Xinjiang tried Jiang Aizhen's case and sentenced her to death and deprived her of political rights for life. However, the letter from the 144th Regiment Hospital was immediately sent to the local government and the court, recording in detail the conspiracy of Xie and Li, and requesting that the court be lenient with Jiang Aizhen.
Because of the people, Wang Xinru, president of the Shihezi Intermediate People's Court, began to investigate the truth of the incident and wrote a letter to the "People", revealing "317 "The truth of the incident.
In the end, the court sentenced Jiang Aizhen to 15 years in prison and deprived of political rights for five years.
3.17 "The dust of the incident has settled, and Jiang Aizhen and Zhang Guozheng have been able to clear their grievances, but if justice had come earlier, Xie Shiping, Li Peihua, and Yang Ming, the black sheep of the herd, would have been eliminated long ago, and the bloody conflicts that followed would no longer exist.
Jiang Aizhen paid for three lives, and the three people who were shot also paid for their actions. Now, Jiang Aizhen, who behaved well in prison in 1991, has been released early and returned to normal life, and the Shihezi Gobi Desert has long since been transformed into a bustling urban garden.
Jiang Aizhen's painful history and the wind and sand of the Gobi Desert have been sealed in the depths of history, which is a wake-up call to people, the law, and society.
