On May 20, 2021, Wang Fenggu and his son from Longwan Village, Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province, walked home in frustration with the open gate of the Daqiao Police Station.
They just came out of it. As soon as he got home, the three-year-old grandson staggered over and hugged Wang Fenggu's legs, and asked crisply, "Grandma went to **?"
Today, the kindergarten children are asking, she and the police uncle are gone, when will she come back? Faced with the child's innocent inquiry, Wang Fenggu finally couldn't help but redden.
How is he going to tell his grandson and all the people who care about Wang Tao that she is gone forever?
Wang Fenggu has always been unbelievable that his wife, Wang Tao, actually escaped from prison in Guizhou 27 years ago, a fact that he still can't accept. Although they have survived decades of hard life together, coming out of poverty and living a stable life, it is only today that he learns that even the name Wang Tao is fake.
The news came like a bolt from the blue, bringing their ordinary lives to an abrupt end. In March this year, Wang Tao was in Longwan Village, Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province, worried about his grandson's schooling.
Her grandson is three years old, and when she reaches the age of kindergarten, she cries every time she goes to school, which makes her feel very distressed, but she is helpless. Wang Tao is in her fifties and is from Guizhou, and although she has lived in Jiangxi for many years, the accent is no longer obvious.
Her husband Wang Fenggu and his son work in Fujian, and she is the only one at home, her in-laws and her grandson. Originally, Wang Tao planned to find a job nearby to subsidize the family after her grandson went to school, but her grandson's performance made her have to temporarily shelve this plan.
This sudden change made Wang Tao and Wang Fenggu's lives in a difficult situation, and also made them begin to reflect on their past choices.
When her grandson cried at school, she gently and patiently squatted down and whispered softly to soothe the child's emotions. Seeing this scene, the principal remembered her patience and love. One morning, the principal suddenly stopped Wang Tao and asked her with a smile if she would like to come to the kindergarten to be a teacher.
Wang Tao was a little surprised to hear this invitation, but she knew that this was a good opportunity. Although she used to work as a waitress and cashier, and even ran a construction site with her husband, she always dreamed of becoming a teacher.
She quickly adapted to work, has a gentle personality, dresses lightly and softly, and is also very attentive. She is full of love for the children, educating them with patience and enthusiasm, singing and reciting ancient poems for them.
Her arrival made the children in the kindergarten even happier, and the principal and colleagues were also gratified.
Every morning, Wang Tao carried her grandson on the way to kindergarten, full of preparation and nervousness. She quickly prepares the daily teaching content, including interesting stories, catchy nursery rhymes and fun games, so that each day is fulfilling and meaningful.
Over time, Wang Tao won the affection of the children and got along well with her colleagues. Her grandson is also slowly adapting to kindergarten life, no longer crying, and everything is going in a good direction.
For Wang Tao now, every day is full of vitality and drive, as if he has returned to his youth. However, there was one thing that upset her.
That is, the kindergarten needs registration information, but she does not have an ID card. Although the director knew that she was from this village and had a good reputation, he only filled in the basic information for her in the end, and did not insist on asking her for identity information, but she was still shocked by the doubts on the principal's face when he learned that she did not have an ID card that night.
In the information society, she realizes the clumsiness of her lies, which makes her lose sleep.
Longwan Village is still the same Longwan Village, remote and backward, probably won't be a problem, right? Wang Tao comforted herself, but often dreamed in the middle of the night. In her dream, she was running alone in the pouring rain.
This time, however, her nightmare didn't go away with the passage of time. On May 19, as usual, Wang Tao sent her children away, cleaned the classroom, and then went home hand in hand with her colleagues.
Along the way, they chatted about the bits and pieces of teaching, warm and harmonious. Back at home, my parents-in-law were sweeping the floor and choosing vegetables at the door. The two elderly people in their 80s felt sorry for her and always tried their best to help.
She said hello to her in-laws, asked her grandson to read by himself, and then went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. At this moment, a police car stopped in front of Wang Tao's house. The two old men asked the police, but the policeman just replied, "We're looking for Wang Tao." ”
After saying that, he went straight into the house. Hearing the voice, Wang Tao came out of the kitchen and met the police. The policeman took out his ID and said, "Please come with us." She was not surprised, nor did she resist, and the whole person seemed very calm.
The moment finally came, and she was relieved that years of worry and fear were over.
My daughter-in-law was taken away, what should I do! "Neighbors came one after another when they heard the news and were very puzzled. Wang Tao has been married to the village for almost 30 years, has a gentle and virtuous personality, is well-behaved internally, polite and courteous externally, and has never blushed with anyone, why was he arrested?
In the evening, Wang Tao's husband Wang Fenggu and his son received a ** from the police station and were told that Wang Tao was a prisoner who had been absconding for many years and asked them to come back quickly.
The father and son in this ** were full of surprise, they didn't understand what crime Wang Tao had committed. Wang Fenggu immediately called his hometown to inquire, only to find that his wife was indeed taken away by the police, and he hurriedly ordered a ticket back to Jiangxi.
This night, Wang Fenggu's father and son couldn't sleep, and Wang Tao in the police station was also worried. The calmness and indifference of the time have disappeared, replaced by guilt, regret and reluctance.
She has been careful to make a good impression on everyone all these years, so we can guess what the reaction of the village will be after her. Although time has passed, she has been trying to be kind to others and wants to make up for her mistakes, but the mistakes she made when she was young will eventually be repaid.
In fact, Wang Tao is not her real name. Her real name is Wu Yanmin and she is from Zhen'an County, Guizhou. The Wu family has four children, and she is the youngest in the family.
Although the family is poor and it is difficult to even maintain food and clothing, the family has given extra care to this young girl. Whether it is their parents or their brothers, they would rather starve themselves than let Wu Yanmin starve.
It's rare to eat meat once in the family, and the best part is always reserved for her. During the holidays, buy her new clothes as much as possible. In times of economic hardship, new hair flowers always have to be bought.
Wu Yanmin grew up in a loving but poor family, but she did not become a worry-free child. As a girl, she was tired of the immutability of life and longed to get out of the mountains.
Seeing the migrant girls in the village wearing beautiful clothes, she also had the idea of going out to earn money. However, the people of the Wu family are content with the plain and never expect to make a fortune through part-time work.
Although her sister is an adult, the family has sufficient labor, and life is gradually getting better. However, she is full of yearning for the outside world, and her family always advises her: "You are a girl, don't think about going out and making money all day long."
Money is not so easy to make and it is easy to get scammed. Study with peace of mind and find a good in-law in the future. However, the rebellious girl did not heed her family's advice and quietly left the house and ran to the world of flowers and flowers she longed for.
She grew up in the mountains, simple-minded, and defenseless against people. She thought she was going out to work, but she didn't expect to be abducted into a human trafficking organization.
Wu Yanmin stayed in the organization because he was educated, not resold like other uneducated women. She listened to all kinds of ** words in the organization in a daze, and a year later she was told that she needed to start working.
According to the gang's teachings, she returned to her village and took two women of the same age, who were sold to Jiangsu. Wu Yanmin was eventually punished by law for participating in the abduction and trafficking of women.
She was sentenced to 10 years in prison and sentenced to prison on 4 April 1993 by the Zheng'an County People's Court for abduction and trafficking in women and children. Standing on the judgment seat, she was only about twenty years old, handcuffed, and looked very immature.
When the judge finished reading the verdict, she looked very dazed and said: "I went to visit them, they were having a good time, and they stayed there of their own free will."
How can it be trafficking? ”
The two girls may have been survivors of the tragedy, however, it has become clear that she orchestrated human trafficking. Wu Yanmin was sentenced to prison for abducting women from the same village, and the news spread in the village, leaving the Wu family's faces full of shame.
They immediately denied that they had a daughter or sister in the village, and were so disappointed in Wu that they never visited her in prison. originally expected her to repent and reform in prison, but she didn't expect the news of her escape from prison came the next year.
When the prison guards came to Wu's house to look for her, the villagers were surprised to learn that she had managed to escape while the guards were not looking, and thought she was too bold. A penniless little girl, can escape to **?
The prison guards waited in the village for half a month, but still did not find any trace of Wu Yanmin, so they had to leave the village and find other ways to track her whereabouts. Before leaving, they stressed to the Wu family that if Wu Yanmin returned, they must not shield her, and they must report it in time, or take her to turn herself in, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
The Wu family readily agreed to Wu Yanmin's request, but for the next few years, they never heard from her. They don't know if she's still alive in **.
Wu Yanmin managed to escape from prison, changed his name, and got married in Jiangxi and had a child. And then settle down there. The core idea of the new copy is: Wu Yanmin successfully escaped from prison, changed his name and surname, and got married in Jiangxi and had a child.
And then settle down there.
When she cried silently and told the bits and pieces of the past, Wang Fenggu was heartbroken. When she met his wife Wang Tao, she was in the prime of her youth, and the two spent half their lives together, but they never expected that his wife was hiding such a big secret.
Now that the truth has been revealed, there seems to be an explanation for all the years of confusion and rejection. At the end of 1994, Wu Yanmin was introduced to Wang Fenggu, a mason. On that day, Wang Fenggu had just gotten off work from the construction site, and he couldn't wait to rush to the introducer's residence and saw a young girl with short hair squatting on the ground playing with the child.
Hearing the noise, she turned to him and smiled. Wang Fenggu was a little surprised, he felt nervous for the first time, and kept blaming himself in his heart for why he came without changing his clothes.
However, she didn't mind, and instead invited him to sit down, and the two started chatting. Although Wang Fenggu was very satisfied with Wu Yanmin, considering the situation of his poor family, he still told the truth.
Hearing this, Wu Yanmin smiled shyly and comforted him: "It's okay, we are still young, and you are so down-to-earth, life will get better and better." Wang Fenggu's eyes lit up, isn't this a hint that he is willing to spend the rest of his life with him?
So, they soon got married.
Although the young woman Wu Yanmin is young, she is quick to do things and gets along well with her in-laws. After she married Wang Fenggu, the two were very harmonious. Wang Fenggu cherishes their lives very much, but he knows very little about his wife's past, especially her family background.
Two years later, they had a baby. They didn't have a strong sense of law before, and they just held a wedding in the village without a marriage certificate. It is not until the children need to register that they go to apply for a marriage certificate.
At this time, Wu Yanmin was worried about revealing her identity and made an excuse that her ID card had been cancelled and could not be reissued. At that time, there were many couples who did not apply for marriage certificates, but Wang Fenggu believed it and did not pursue it.
Because the child did not have a hukou, Wang Fenggu paid a lot of fines, and finally at the time of the census, the trustee gave the child a hukou. Because he did not have an ID card, Wu Yanmin rarely went out for many years.
She has made two trips home, one with the ID card she picked up, and traveled with her family in the same car; Another time was in 2019, when I returned to my hometown alone to visit my seriously ill parents, and I got off the train halfway, cleverly avoiding the inspection at the station.
Although she didn't go home for long, she couldn't stay long because of her family's indifference to her and her past prison escape. Only her husband Wang Fenggu, because of the dialect barrier, did not notice anything unusual for the time being.
In the village, she lived as Wang Tao for 27 years, had no quarrels with Wang Fenggu, and was recognized as a model couple in the local area. Although her life on the surface is as calm as water, her heart is often turbulent.
Whenever she sees a police car whizzing by, she can't help but feel fear; Whenever someone asks her why she doesn't have an ID card, she feels her smile stiffen.
On the Internet, she depicts the panic when she escaped, as if engraved in her memory, whenever life calms down, that panic will make her suddenly sober up, realizing that her identity is not visible, and she cannot justify her past crimes.
Although she loved her considerate husband, son and grandson, and all that she had worked hard with her husband, she was reluctant to turn herself in. However, stolen happiness is like a floating brilliant bubble that shatters at the touch of a button.
At the time of the 2020 census, Wu Yanmin told the staff as in the past that his household registration had been cancelled by his family and he could not apply for an ID card. The staff didn't ask much, registered her as a black household, and left.
However, this time her reasoning did not succeed in fooling everyone. During her hiding, Guizhou Prison has been hunting her down, and no one can escape the tracking of big data.
The results of the investigation showed that Wu Yanmin was likely to live under the pseudonym Wang Tao in Longwan Village, Jiangxi, so the Daqiao Police Station received a letter of assistance asking them to help verify the identity of "Wang Tao".
It turned out that Wu Yanmin was from Guizhou and came to this village in 1994, and her identity has always been a mystery because she has not applied for ID cards and other documents for many years.
It wasn't until the police of the Daqiao Police Station finally confirmed that she was Wu Yanmin through visits and investigations. * After some deployment, Wu Yanmin was arrested.
After Wu Yanmin told the secret that had been suppressed in her heart for decades, she felt relieved. She said to her husband, "I remember all the kindness you have done to me." After I'm gone, you have to take the baby well and live a good life. ”
Hearing his wife's words of farewell, Wang Fenggu complained or questioned the things she had hidden for many years, but a thousand words only turned into one sentence: "You go with peace of mind, we will go to see you."
We're waiting for you to come out, we're still family. Hearing her husband say this, Wu Yanmin couldn't hold back anymore and cried. In the end, the prison guards at Guizhou Prison waited until Wu Yanmin said goodbye to her husband and son and took her to the car.
If you make a mistake, you should be held responsible, and I will always wait for her to come back. "Being young and ignorant is not an excuse for breaking the law, and if you make a mistake, you will pay for your actions, and you cannot escape responsibility by escaping from prison.
As the saying goes, "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky", no matter how much the prisoner escapes to **, he cannot escape the pursuit of **. Now Wu Yanmin has worries and expectations, hoping that she will serve her sentence well in prison and be able to face life calmly after being released from prison.
