At the end of 2017, some ** reported an inconspicuous news that Huang Shuai, the former editor of Beijing University of Technology Press, died of illness. 40 years ago, Huang Shuai became a well-known anti-trend "little hero" because of the sensational "primary school student diary incident". After many twists and turns, her life has come to an end, and may the deceased rest in peace. So, what kind of story happened to Huang Shuai back then?
Huang Shuai was born in Beijing in 1960 into a family of high-ranking intellectuals. Her parents, both working in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, grew up in such an atmosphere, Huang Shuai has performed well since he was a child. When he reached the appropriate school age, Huang Shuai was sent to a prestigious school in Haidian District. With the blood of scientific research workers flowing in his body, Huang Shuai's mental development is more mature than that of other peers. By the time he was in the fifth grade of primary school, Huang Shuai was able to analyze problems according to the thinking of an adult. In 1973, she became disgusted with her teacher's reprimands for her classmates in class, and I really want to hit you on the head with a whip! ”
The teacher's words were half a joke, half a scare, and more of an eagerness to hate iron and steel. 13-year-old Huang Shuai wrote down his intuitive feelings in his diary: the whip is for teaching, not for corporal punishment of students. Teachers should help educate students about their mistakes. Huang Shuai has the habit of keeping a diary every day, and she is used to using a pen to record her feelings about the outside world during her growth. Since this day, Huang Shuai's diary has seen more and more questions about the teacher's education methods.
According to the rules of the class, the students' diaries will be given to the teacher on a regular basis. After learning about Huang Shuai's mental activities, the teacher criticized her. In the teacher's perception, Huang Shuai is just a yellow-haired girl who has not dried up, how can she understand the teacher's good intentions. Huang Shuai was depressed, she was an only child, she did not choose to confide in her parents, but sent a letter to "Beijing**" to reflect the situation. In the content of restoring this part of his mental journey, Huang Shuai bluntly said: Do teenagers like us continue to be slaves under the system of "dignity of teachers"? Huang Shuai's letter, with its smooth writing and mature language, shows good cultural literacy, making it hard to believe that it was written by a primary school student. The content of the letter attracted the attention of the newspaper leaders.
Xie Jingyi, who was in charge of youth work in Beijing at the time, received Huang Shuai's letter from the newspaper, and keenly discovered the "anti-trend flashpoint" contained in it. Huang Shuai was born in a family of intellectuals who were the backbone of society, and undertook the hope of future revolutionaries, and her statement reflected the voice of a specific class of society. Under Xie Jingyi's instructions, "Beijing**" published Huang Shuai's letter in December. Soon, the "People's **" also wrote the content of the letter in accordance with the requirements of the **leader in charge of propaganda work. After the rendering of the mainstream, the "anti-trend" wave led by Huang Shuai has caused repercussions within a certain range. Given that Huang Shuai's social influence continues to rise, the top management intends to reuse her. According to the materials obtained from Wang Hongwen's office after the Gang of Four was smashed, Huang Shuai was once an important cadre candidate for the Communist Youth League.
Of course, with the end of the special historical period, Huang Shuai's political development has not yet started, and it came to an abrupt end. Beginning in the second half of 1976, Huang Shuai underwent a period of censorship. Not only herself, but even her parents were affected. Huang's father lost his job and was expelled from the party. Although Huang Shuai finally regained her freedom, she will never return to the carefree life she had before. Even the diary-keeping habit she had developed over the years gradually gave up under her mother's horrified gaze. Although he has encountered unimaginable twists and turns in life, life still has to go on. In 1979, Huang Shuai took the college entrance examination. Her grades have reached the admission standards of Beijing University of Technology, but her road to college is still full of ups and downs. In the end, under the interrogation of the leaders of the Central Propaganda Department, Huang Shuai was able to enter the university for further study.
Thanks to the increasingly enlightened social climate, Huang Shuai successfully completed his university studies. After graduation, Huang Shuai went to Japan to study for a master's degree. After years of hard work, she finally grew into a high-level intellectual who was as good as her parents. After returning to China, Huang Shuai took up an editorial job, and his life gradually became dull. In 2006, Huang Shuai collected and published a collection of essays "Huang Shuai's Heart" from his literary works over the years. With beautiful and honest strokes, she looks back on the first half of her life. The taste, without evaluation, is all experienced by the reader. When he died in 2017, Huang Shuai was only 57 years old. Her early death left an embarrassing ending to her life.
