Teacher Xu Xin, who was the first "ghost and snake spirit" to be "caught out" in the past, once ranked the beauty teachers in the whole school (as mentioned in the previous article). The ranking will change every year as female college graduates enter the school, but the top one is always Wang Renli, a mechanics teacher in the Mechanical Department. In the summer of 1973, I returned to the teaching material group of the school from the glass factory "fighting high temperature", and was engaged in the work of mimeographing teaching materials.The textbook group is located in the new site of the main school on Shaanxi North Road, which is much larger than the original two-story building on the Bund on Jiujiang Road.There are two bungalows and gardens, as well as sporadic buildings.For example, our mimeograph department is located in two large bungalows, which used to be the place where the old owner (foreigner) of the garden raised horses.Unexpectedly, the office cleaner of the main school turned out to be Wang Renli.

Sometimes Wang Renli can be seen resting in the corner of the main school gate room (communication room). She sits there quietly with her head bowed, like a statue.strangeness!Wang Renli's labor clothes are always clean, and of course the ground she sweeps is also clean. Most of the people in the mimeograph department are educated youths raised from suburban farms.Once I walked out of the bungalow with them and met Wang Renli who was cleaning fallen leaves. She politely "ordered" them not to litter waste paper and other rubbish.Xiao Tao and the others smiled and assured her: Be careful in the future!Xiao Tao also picked up the cigarette butts he had just thrown away.I can't help feeling: Although the beauty is in trouble, the charm of the beauty is still there!

I learned a lot about Wang Renli from the female educated youth in the textbook group.They were quite sympathetic to her and would take the initiative to chat with her. However, their former colleagues (referring to female colleagues) were naturally afraid of avoiding Wang Renli when they saw Wang Renli, because Wang Renli was under control of labor supervision. Female colleagues hate, who made her so beautiful?I heard that Wang Renli and her 2-year-old son are dependent on each other. She must lock her son at home when she goes to work, so as not to cause trouble for the child. She rushes back at noon to feed the children from the cafeteria, and then rushes back to school to continue working. At night, she has to go home after get off work. , The son is still locked in the room.Wang Renli's child is an "illegitimate child", and she is considered a "regulatory element", so her child cannot go to a nursery school.The natal family refused to help, so they could only suffer for her mother and son.But Wang Renli said that her son was very good and didn't bother at all.

The child's father, Xu Miaoxin, was also supervising labor at the Nanshi Branch School at this time, and he was also a "regulatory element."The higher authorities stipulated that during the "control" period, the two were not allowed to meet. If they met privately, it would be a higher crime. Xu Miaoxin lived in the Nanshi branch school. Not long after I arrived at the teaching material group (called the teaching material department before the "Cultural Revolution"), I heard that the control period for Wang and Xu was about to expire, which meant that they were about to make it through. Little days at home.I saw a smile on Wang Renli's face.

Accidents will happen!Wang Renli's child had a sudden illness, some said it was scurvy.What do you think: How can a child not get sick if he is locked in a small room all day long without being exposed to the sun?The illness was severe and urgent, the hospital failed to rescue him, and he died. It is said that when the child first fell ill, Wang Renli, who had no master, called Xu Miaoxin to discuss with Xu Miaoxin at the Nanshi branch school.This is also one of the reasons for Wang Renli's despair.This statement has never been confirmed to Brother Miaoxin - dare not touch people's heartache.

Wang Renli's face was pale, but she calmly said to the dead child: "Don't be afraid, mom won't let you be alone!" After returning home from the hospital, she took poison and committed suicide. According to people from the school who attended the cremation ceremony (it was not a memorial service, but just for Wang Renli’s relatives to meet before the cremation), everyone cried—"It’s so sinful! An adult and a villain slept together!" Xu Miaoxin was still unable to attend the final farewell, although one was his son and the other was his lover.
