After being released from prison, I learned a new word "involution".
Looking back, not to mention that there is a lot of involution in society now, even the competition for positions among inmates in prisons is quite involuted.
After all, where there are people, there are "rivers and lakes", and where there are people, there will be "battles".
After all, there are limited "jobs", limited resources, and limited places for commutation.
If you want to live well, you have to get the attention of the captain, and you have to work hard to show your good side.
It doesn't matter what kind of identity you are out there, whether you are a "big brother", a "leader", or a "petty thief".
When you are in prison, you only have one identity as an "inmate".
Although everyone is a prisoner, there are also different treatment levels among prisoners.
If you are just a very ordinary prisoner, if you want to live well, you have to "cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing its magical powers".
Here, I will give a very typical example.
We all call him Brother Xiao Jiang, and he is my direct "leader".
I am responsible for the quality of the products in the pipe production line, and he is responsible for the quality of the products in the whole factory.
To use the analogy of our outside job titles, Brother Xiao Jiang is the general manager, I am the supervisor, and the other inmates are employees.
Brother Xiao Jiang is 1.7 meters tall, with a strong body and an authentic "shoehorn face".
He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for committing ** and coercive WX crimes.
When I first did the quality inspection, I glanced at his badge (every prisoner has a badge with his name, charges, and sentence), and when I saw his crime, I was very disdainful of him.
But after a long period of contact, I was completely shocked, this buddy's "power" is quite big!
As long as he says that the product is faulty and unqualified, even the assistant manager sent by the manufacturer is not good.
In prison, except for a few top-notch prisoners, all the other prisoners, whether old or young, had to call him "Brother Jiang!" from afar when they met! ”
He basically didn't hang the bridge of his nose, he replied when he was happy, and walked over without raising his head or opening his eyes.
In the prison cell, except for going to the toilet and washing cannot replace him, all other housekeeping, such as washing sheets, bedding, quilts, writing thought reports, etc., all have "little ghosts" to serve him.
When other prisoners bring things in from outside, they will first share them with him.
And how did he get his treatment today?
In fact, it was not easy, and I experienced some setbacks.
When he was outside, he opened a restaurant.
I don't know anything about electrical appliances, wiring, accessories and drawings, etc., and my education is only junior high school.
Facing a long sentence, and he doesn't want to be bullied all the time (when he entered the prison, among the inmates, he looked down on petty theft and ** coming in, and would bully this kind of person).
This guy is guilty of another despised crime, and he is always bullied by others.
So he thought about relying on his own strength to impress other prisoners.
During the day, he conscientiously completed his labor tasks, and when he returned to the prison at night, he used his limited free time to study continuously.
I have been persevering for almost two years, and I finally learned everything thoroughly.
First mixed into the position of quality inspector, and later was promoted to big technician.
He is the best and most skilled technician in the three production supervision areas.
If there is a product that he doesn't understand, he will come to him and ask him how to correct it and how to set the parameters.
Even some of the technical level is already more powerful than the assistant managers of the manufacturer.
It's really admirable!
Because he slowly climbed up from the "bottom", he has already seen the people in prison very thoroughly.
When he was in this position today, the inmates who once looked down on him turned against him.
He ignored it.
Therefore, sometimes when others greet him, he will take care of it when he is happy, and ignore it if he is not happy.
But he was very polite to those inmates who were steadily reformed.
If others have any difficulties, he can help them, and he will help them regardless of the return.
I will never deliberately trick others because I have a little "power" in my hands, and I will do things with nails and rivets, and I will be fair.
used his own style of dealing with people in exchange for the respect of all inmates.
Because he manages production well, the prison guards like him a lot.
Sometimes there is a conflict between the inmates, and they do not accept the management in front of the prison guards.
It's all up to Brother Xiao Jiang to mediate.
He always managed to handle it in a way that satisfied the prison guards and convinced the inmates.
Therefore, whether inside or outside the wall, it is a truth to want to live well:
To be diligent, to work hard, to work silently, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!
Inspirational sharing, the strong never complain about the environment.
