It turns out that "Roller" has an extraordinary life experience.
His nickname is Xiao Kunlun. He was born on the eve of the "movement". He was just three years old, and the "unprecedented movement" began.
His father was just an ordinary bus conductor. Because of his good background, he had nothing to do. But because he couldn't stand the messy world, he made a few complaints. As a result, he was hated by the bad guys!
I don't know who stuffed the leader's portrait into his shoe. Lao Xiao pressed "Six Public Security Rules" and was turned to the Public Security Bureau.
That's bad luck and you'll suffer!
After being imprisoned for three consecutive years, Lao Xiao died angry and tired, and lost confidence in life.
After Xiao Kunlun's father passed away, his mother, who did not have a formal job, could only support him by gluing matchboxes and collecting waste paper.
In addition, all the morning prayers at home were sold out. From the age of six or seven, he had to help his mother to make ends meet because of hunger.
But later, his mother was also arrested for tearing up large-character posters and selling them for money, and ended up with the same fate as his father.
In this way, Xiao Kunlun became an orphan. So in order to eat, he would definitely choose to wander around the society.
First, he followed the older children and learned to remove other people's car bells. Later, he secretly twisted the handles of doors and windows in the building and exchanged scraps for money. Then he went to construction sites at night to steal building materials.
If you go back and forth like this, you will be able to do anything like sneaking, swearing, fighting, smoking, and drinking.
In the end, he became a "little copper and iron Buddha" like a hob.
Because he is smart, has sharp eyes, and can run fast, he is nicknamed "Roller".
But this kind of day is not so unrestrained.
Not only are you hungry and full, but you also have to be bullied by some street gangsters and scoundrels. If you manage to earn some money, it is often taken away unreasonably. If you really lose your hand, you will definitely be beaten. If not, you will have to go to a "study class" and squat for a few days.
months.
Later, during a "big raid", "Gunzi" accidentally met "Big Eyed Lantern" wandering on the street. Seeing that he had nowhere to go to avoid the "big raid", he kindly took them to his house.
Go to the building platform to "splash the night".
As a result, after spending this night together, he became "Big Eyed Lantern"'s apprentice.
He was only eleven years old at that time, and even though he later followed "Big Eyed Lantern" and joined "Two Head"'s gang, he was still the youngest one.
At the beginning, the "roller" could only look after others, but he was wasting his "capita share" every month and could not make much money.
Moreover, "Big Eyed Lantern" took him and even broke the rule in the thieves' shop that "no one under the age of twelve is allowed to go on the road, let alone enter the road".
This made both "Bitou" feel that "Big Eyed Lantern" was a bit stupid.
But "Big Eyed Lantern" has always made a living on his own without any regrets. He has never treated "Roller" badly, allowing him to live a life of adequate food and clothing.
Why is this so?
Speaking of which, I have to mention the father of "Big Eyed Lantern".
Because the life experiences of the brothers Hu Qiang and Hu Qiang are very similar to "Gunzi" in some aspects.
In Beijing on the eve of liberation, most elderly people knew Hu Rongbin, the "King of Uri" nicknamed "Yunli Fei".
(In slang, Uri King, "Wu" means "black". Uri King is a strong man who is outstanding in thieves. It specifically refers to a one-legged thief who has good friends with the elders in his hometown and only goes out once or twice a year to do big business.)
He studied under the famous "black money" thief "Drunkard Zhang San" in Beijing, and learned a set of thief skills such as jumping over walls and leaping into houses. In terms of entry level, he was actually no less than the famous "Swallow Li" in Beijing and Tianjin.
"Three" and "Civet Cat Racing" Duan Yunpeng.
(In argot, black money refers to money that is stolen at night and does not work during the day)
Especially after becoming an apprentice, he accidentally rescued a "high buyer" from Jinmen from the Peking Inspection Office, and learned a skillful "hand cleaning job" with empty hands.
Since then, he has held two jobs and has become a well-known figure in the thief industry.
(In slang, Gaobai is a top expert who specializes in stealing gold and silver shops, silk and satin shops, and ginseng shops in broad daylight. Because such thieves can usually unknowingly stretch their arms to enter and exit sleeves at will, hiding stolen goods.
In his arms, he got the nickname "Three Hands")
But for the people in the capital, when it comes to "flying in the clouds", they neither fear nor hate it.
Because "Yunlifei" comes uninvited, it only targets foreigners living in high-rise buildings and government officials and wealthy people living in spacious mansions.
He is a sworn enemy that gives the Peiping Detective Team and the Inspection Department of the Peiping Police Headquarters a headache, but he can make the common people feel relieved and happy.
Of course, everyone will have bad luck one day.
In 1948, Hu Rongbin stole the house of a government official and was betrayed when he was selling the stolen goods. He was finally sentenced by the Kuomintang Court and sent to the prison of the Peking Security Headquarters.
Originally, the senior official still wanted Hu Rongbin's life, but at that moment, the People's Liberation Army troops came to the city.
So in panic, senior officials focused on how to alienate property and how to evacuate.
Later, the capital was peacefully liberated, and "Yunli Fei" Hu Rongbin was released by the new government after education and labor reform. The government also arranged a job for him, allowing him to work as a plumber in the housing management office, and encouraged him to rely on himself
hands and labor eating.
This made Hu Rongbin feel an earth-shaking new atmosphere in all aspects.
Not to mention that the cadres of the labor camp are affable and treat the prisoners as human beings, which is completely different from the officials of the Kuomintang. Everyone has a share in the happiness of the new society, and even the people outside no longer suffer from injustice and are no longer hungry.
People no longer have sad faces. There are large-scale construction projects everywhere to build the country. The world has really changed.
With such a life-saving grace and the touching of his soul, Hu Rongbin finally made up his mind to be an honest person from now on and never steal again.
Soon, he lived a stable life. He married a widow from the Shandong countryside, started his own family, and gave birth to two sons.
Although his life was tight, it was true that he was completely cut off from his old absurd life of going to and fro, living in brothels, and eating in restaurants.
From the bottom of his heart, he became an ordinary worker who yearned for a new life and stayed in poverty.
He even handed a bag he found to the police station.
Since there were 2,000 yuan of public funds and many bills lost by bank staff, he was commended by his employer and received a large certificate.
But unfortunately, good times go quickly as they come.
When the "movement" came, everyone had to pass the examination and definition of status, and a large number of leaders in the unit were unlucky. Then Hu Rongbin's old background was exposed.
From then on, the perception of Hu Rongbin by the people around him changed drastically. No one was willing to approach him anymore, and no one believed in him anymore.
If anything could not be found in the unit in the past, it was all blamed on Hu Rongbin. Everyone regarded him as a class enemy.
Some people even said that the bag Hu Rongbin turned in might have been stolen by himself, and he turned it over to the public because he was worried that the money would be hot.
So the work unit began to criticize him every day, interrogate him, and ask him to explain his theft activities in recent years.
Of course Hu Rongbin refused to admit that it was not true, and his home was searched several times.
But that's not the worst part. Because of his unbearable history, his two sons were bullied at will by the children next door.
His Shandong wife was also injured by those who broke into the house because she was protecting him. After that, she had no money for medical treatment, and died at home within a few days.
So when Hu Rongbin was finally released and returned home, he not only lost his job, but also found that his wife was dead. The house was also in a mess.
The first thing that caught his eye was the two sons who had been beaten with bruises and bruises on their faces. Under the light, they were eating rotten vegetable leaves and vegetable sticks returned from the vegetable station.
When the eldest son snatched the remaining half bowl of vegetable paste from his younger son and brought it to him, he couldn't bear it any longer.
Suddenly there was a loud roar, the ground shook, and the ceiling of the low house was shaken so hard that dust fell off.
A gust of wind blew up, and Hu Rongbin ran into the courtyard with a "thump thump thump" stride. He jumped up to the room a few times and disappeared in an instant.
In the middle of the night, when Hu Rongbin returned to his residence, he kicked open the door with a "clang".
Without waiting for the two sons to ask questions, "Bah, bah, bah", two boxes of snacks, several cans, and a roast chicken were thrown on the dirty table.
"x fuck!"
Hu Rongbin breathed out the smell of alcohol and cursed fiercely. Then, like a mountain falling apart, he fell drunkenly on the bed...
From then on, Hu Rongbin became disheartened and became "flying in the clouds" again!
And not only did he steal it himself, he also started teaching his two sons!
It's just that he never allowed his two sons to go to the streets to try their skills. Because he didn't want to let his sons take this road, but to prevent himself from having an accident someday, so that his two children could survive without starving.
.
But things tend to develop for the worst. His last plan became a reality. And this day came unexpectedly early.
Just two years later, when Hu Rongbin entered a resident's home in a ministry compound during the day to steal, he happened to encounter an old man who was alone at home and was in critical condition of a heart attack.
Hu Rongbin, whose conscience was still intact, could not bear to leave without mercy, so he gave the dying old man some water and medicine to help him out of danger.
But he didn't want this busy work to waste time. After the old man's condition stabilized, when he was about to leave, he bumped into the old man's daughter-in-law who was returning home from get off work when he opened the door.
The woman screamed, and the neighbors all mobilized to block Hu Rongbin on the spot. After that, the police station conducted a home search.
It stands to reason that Hu Rongbin is a master thief, and he understands the principle of punishing both the stolen goods and the stolen goods.
Therefore, he only stole cash when he entered the house, and only food when entering the store. He never kept any money and only committed crimes when he had used up the money. In fact, not much money was found in his home. This matter should not be serious.
But what was even more unfortunate was that seven or eight plexiglass key pendants were found from his son's house, which were of a different nature.
On the spot, the expressions of several policemen changed, because there was only one such key pendant, there was no semicolon, and they were all souvenirs from the National Civil Aviation Administration of China.
In the 1960s and 1970s, even booking a soft sleeper seat on a train had to be checked to see if your level was high enough. Of course, it was not something that ordinary people could afford to fly on.
If there are one or two souvenirs, maybe they were stolen from the home of a model worker. The owner occasionally got special permission and took a plane back, but seven or eight...
In this way, "Yunli Fei" Hu Rongbin died on these little things he brought back as toys for his son due to a sudden change of thought.
The public trial was held on the streets of the busy city. There were more than a dozen prisoners with signs on a large Jiefang truck.
When the public prosecutor read Hu Rongbin's charges, he said that he was a recidivist who had repeatedly visited the family compound of major ministries and commissions and had stolen from the homes of many cadres. Due to the large amount of theft and the bad impact of the crime, he was executed by firing squad.
!
Both Hu Gang and Hu Qiang went to see the scene that day. At the last moment, their father actually raised his head and smiled, and then was viciously pressed down on the neck.
That night, the two brothers cried their hearts out at home. From the next day, they went out to the streets together.
Although they have only practiced "hand cleaning" for a while, they are not as capable as their father in stealing from wealthy officials. But it is enough for them to pick out the pockets of ordinary people on the bus every day...
…
So to put it bluntly, in fact, the reason why "Big Eyed Lantern" felt compassion for "Roller" and took this young little burden with him since then was precisely out of a kind of sympathy for each other, and he was reminded by "Roller"
What happened to himself and his brother.
And as he watched "Roller" grow up day by day over the years, he gradually had the same state of mind as his father back then.
On the one hand, I don’t want “Gunzi” to go hungry and cold, but on the other hand, I feel extremely helpless and regretful about letting “Gunzi” take this path.
