The river bends to the south, flows to the Xiangjiang River to see, the Pearl of the Orient my love, whether your style is still romantic....”
Yang Kui took a step forward with each lyric, but the heavy cuffs on his feet were accompanied by a clattering sound that struck people's souls.
At the 2021 Spring Festival Gala in the detention center, this program was particularly eye-catching. A figure wearing a yellow vest and heavy shackles on his feet performed alone on the stage, without accompaniment, and his voice was not beautiful, but every lyric was full of inner emotion.
He sang as if he were singing this song for his wife in the female trumpet next door, and he also knew that they would never see each other again in this life, and perhaps the song he sang now was the saddest song in the world.
Everyone should know that in detention centers, only death row prisoners can wear yellow vests, and only death row prisoners can wear leg irons.
His name is Yang Kui, 60 years old, tall and thin, at first glance he is a farmer, Yang Kui and I are in the same prison, he is different from everyone else, he is silent, he does not participate in anyone's conversation.
I remember one day, just getting up, we were all busy going to the toilet and washing.
While! While! While! The sound of a heavy hammer came from a distance, and we were still guessing whether it was a prisoner who was going to be executed, Yang Kui couldn't hold it back anymore, and the 60-year-old man cried, probably one hammer after another, finally smashing through his disguise.
After that, the discipline found me: "Old Yang, you are chatting with Yang Kui when you are fine, you see that you are both surnamed Yang, you can help him." ”
Discipline, he doesn't say anything, this task doesn't seem to be easy to complete! ”
This is my command to you, and you must complete it. "Since I was the only college student on the number, the warden approached me and gave me this task.
Yang Kui's wife is also next door, and he only has a daughter in her 20s who takes care of him and saves 500 yuan a month, but Yang Kui never spends a penny. Every time he reported the goods, he only bought daily necessities, and occasionally bought some fruits, and asked the people of the Labor Number to take them to the women's prison and give them to his wife.
In order to break through Yang Kui's psychological defense, I decided to start with the small things in daily life and slowly melt the iceberg in his heart with warmth and care.
Brother Kui, let's eat some noodles. "Kuige, do you eat instant noodles? "Brother Kui, come and have a drink. ”
Over time, Yang Kui slowly opened up to me, sharing his story and feelings.
After Yang Kui finished planting, he went out to work, that day, he had a rare holiday, so he secretly returned home, he didn't tell his wife in advance, wanting to give her an unexpected surprise. However, when he quietly opened the door of his home, the sight in front of him made him instantly angry and desperate.
He saw the thugs in the village in his own home, unscrupulously shouting insults at his beloved wife, and even doing things to his daughter. Yang Kui's anger exploded instantly, and he rushed forward to try to protect his wife and daughter, and a fierce conflict broke out with the thugs. In the end, the gangsters fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, Yang Kui was stunned, he had always been an honest man, looking at the corpses of the gangsters on the ground and being at a loss, and finally his wife proposed that the corpses be packed in sacks and buried in the garden behind.
However, after three years, it was finally discovered, He said that every day of the past three years was torture, and it was not as easy as turning himself in, and finally the couple were imprisoned in the detention center, and when the first-instance verdict came down, they were smashed into handcuffs and put on yellow vests.
Death, for me, is not terrible. What really scares me is the indefinite wait, and I don't know when the verdict of the second instance will come. It has been two years since I entered the detention center, and I have been living on pins and needles every day. I have tried to escape this cruel reality by pretending to be crazy and stupid, but the solemnity and justice of the law have nowhere to hide, and I have regrets! I want to accompany my wife and daughter, if I choose again, I won't go to work that year, but time can't be turned back, and there is no regret medicine in the world, Lao Yang, you must be good when you go out. "Yang Kui has said a lot, and this is just a part of it.
In 2022, Yang Kui's second-instance verdict finally came down. He was given a suspended death sentence, both as punishment for his past actions and as a chance to be born again. But he is 62 years old and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
On the road of life, impulsiveness is often like a trap, a little carelessness may make us fall into a situation from which we will never recover, I vaguely remember Yang Kui's eyes when singing, that is not only the longing for his family, the desire for freedom, but also the desire for future life and deep repentance for past mistakes.
