Chapter 54 Author postscript

When I finished writing the last few words, it started to rain in Beijing, it was a little cold outside, and I was also a little cold in my heart. From the beginning of the chapter, I think most people read the taste of tragedy, I didn't expect to design it abruptly, and to quote Su Tong, the word "success" is ridiculously extravagant. Friends who are familiar with me may know that I published a novel on the Internet in 2005 called "Brother, Love Me Again", which was the predecessor of this novel.But what you see now is completely different from "Brother, Love Me Again". Except for the relationship between the main characters, I have continued to use it. There is almost no sentence in the two texts that is the same.The reason for making such a big change is because of this theme.It was adapted from a real case, and its prototype came from a magazine I read when I was a student. There was a letter column in that magazine, which was to publish letters to other people in the magazine.What I saw was a letter written by a girl in her twenties, addressed to a deceased boy.It can be seen between the lines that the boy was a juvenile delinquent who was injured to death in a criminal case.Because the boy is smaller than the girl, the girl calls him brother.I was very impressed by the last sentence. The girl said, brother, you promised me to come back, did you forget?

I was very sad after reading this letter, and I specially wrote a short story about romance, which was circulated among classmates in the form of a manuscript. The name was "Love Me Again", and it was the first novel I ever wrote.Later, in 2005, I picked up the pen again. In order to commemorate my original text, I expanded it into "Brother, Love Me Again" with the same theme.At that time, I only took a fancy to this sad and beautiful love, so it also showed the theme of love and fate.But this year, when I think about it again, I think differently. Whether it's the boys and girls in the magazine, or Wei Rufeng and Xia Ruhua, the reason why their love has become a tragedy is because it involves juvenile delinquency.

Some friends may ask, is there really such a thing?Would you do something like this at such a young age?I would say yes, there really is. Juvenile delinquency is a gloomy and regrettable thing, but it is not far away from us. Friends who have read it should remember that I wrote a juvenile delinquency case in it. The boy Li He was stabbed in the liver with a switchblade during a fight with social youths and died at the school gate.This is also a real incident, which happened in a school in the same district when I was in junior high school.I have a friend who was very close to the deceased, and he even told me that before the fight that afternoon, the deceased also asked him to help, but it happened that he had something to do, so he didn't go there.As a result, the next day, news of the man's death came out.Later I asked him, what if you were fine that day?You going?He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, he will go, no one would have thought that he would die!Who would have thought in their youth that they would face death head-on?But juvenile delinquency is like this, it happens suddenly when it is unexpected and unprepared.

Originally I thought this was a very rare case, but I didn’t expect that in the discussion on the Internet, I saw many people talking about this incident. These readers all guessed that it was true, and the reason was that it happened in their school. I have counted the "Li He incident", and there are at least a dozen schools mentioned in it, and they are involved in all parts of the country. This result surprised me, and I recalled that when I was in high school, I heard an announcement in the school's moral education class that a secret organization "Sanhetang" with the nature of a juvenile underworld was detected, and the so-called boss was only 17 years old. And there are thousands of people under him!The entire hall is arranged in a tree shape like a martial arts novel. The detailed distribution and careful deployment are breathtaking.

Later, in the continuous attention, I saw more such things, such as school violence and bullying, teenagers involved in gangsters and drugs, and so on.Because of this, I re-imagined the whole story and wrote it as you see it now. It's not a preaching novel, I'm still telling you a story, a story about the entanglement of love and fate very seriously.I want to truly describe the sorrows of love, the impermanence of fate, the cowardice of human nature, the negation of law, and the redemption of sin.In this story, there are four juvenile delinquents, Ah Fu who caused evil because of lust, Ah Jiu who caused evil because of greed, Cheng Xiuxiu who caused evil because of frivolity, and Wei Rufeng who caused evil because of his youth. The final outcome.

However, each of them didn't think so at the beginning. Ah Fu just liked Xia Ruhua, Ah Jiu just wanted to make a lot of money, Cheng Xiuxiu just wanted Wei Rufeng, Wei Rufeng just wanted to live with his sister forever, none of them did it for crime And to commit crimes, but they all made the wrong choice and took the wrong path. In fact, at their age, each of us makes mistakes, ranging from verbal criticism and writing inspections, to asking parents and warnings.But how should juvenile delinquency be punished?I think all sentencing is difficult to judge accurately.Because the pressure of society cannot be measured, the fall of the law cannot be measured, the pain in the heart cannot be measured, the loss of years cannot be measured, and the gloomy future cannot be measured.

And all of these must be condensed into the only result, which is the tragedy of life.At the end of the story, Lu Yuan asked Su Tong, did they regret it?Su Tong replied that they hadn't had time to regret it yet.I feel sorry for them because they are too late.All youth and love are beautiful, but Wei Rufeng and Xia Ruhua are too cruelly beautiful.They tried very hard to be happy, and they were happy once, but they couldn't stay happy forever. Life is like summer flowers, but they only bloom in Pinellia. Dreams in reality, reality in dreams.There should be no original sin in pure love, and we should all be redeemed after punishment.I hope there will never be Wei Rufeng and Xia Ruhua to make people sad again.
