Chapter 8 The Northwestern Wolf in Les Miserables

Before Huang's father was labeled as an "active counter-revolutionary", the Huang family's family was considered decent.Every week, Huang's father will spend 50 cents to buy a roast chicken for his family to eat.He was generous and made many friends.Some friends who run transportation will bring back dog meat and rabbit meat to improve his food. When he committed suicide, the family nearly fell apart.Huang's mother pulls a cart to dig soil on the city wall every day, and sells a cart of soil for a few cents, relying on this to support the family.Under the heavy pressure, her temper became more and more irritable, she had nothing to say all day long, and when she got angry, she grabbed Huang Nubo and beat her.Huang Nubo was so hungry that he fell off the kang and couldn't climb up. When his mother came home and saw him crying, she got angry and grabbed him and beat him twice. "I have lacked warmth since I was a child." Parents did not give delicate and gentle expressions of love. This may be the source of Huang Nubo's brutal and authoritarian way of expressing love to those close to him.Huang Nubo even takes care of what clothes his subordinates wear, basically playing the role of a father, and he expresses his love by stern scolding.This may have laid a hidden danger for the management of his company.

Maternal love was a luxury in that era.At that time, not only the adults, but even the young Huang Nubo had to learn how to survive from hunger and hunger. "At that time, he ate like a dog." Huang Nubo said.They went to the wild to dig mugwort, bitter herbs, and dandelions, and steamed them with elm leaves and acacia flowers.The best days are when the farmers have harvested the cabbage, the beets, and they go to the fields to pick up rotten leaves. He used to pick up melon rinds on the street, and when he was five or six years old, he followed the older children to steal bean cakes from the manger.Once, someone caught him in the act, and the older child jumped over the wall and ran away, leaving him where he was.The person who caught him relented and gave him two bean cakes.

The neighbor of the Huang family is a chef, and he would come back with a bag of meat bones every one or two weeks.Some flesh and marrow remained on the bones.A lot of children were waiting there, waiting for the chef to drop the bone and rushing to grab it.They smashed open the bones with maggots crawling on them with stones, dug out the marrow and ate them all. Huang Nubo once took a train with a few classmates to exile, and drank well water to fill his stomach on the way; when he returned home, his mother who was in a panic beat him up, and the neighbor stuffed him with a steamed bun.He broke it into pieces, soaked it in hot water and ate it in small bites. After a few minutes, he vomited it all up—his hungry stomach couldn't stand it, and he instinctively resisted the food. "It's a fake movie about wolfing down when you're hungry," he said.This was his most memorable starvation experience.

When Huang Nuchang was twelve or thirteen years old, he and his friends went to the park to steal fruit, and hid in the trees to watch the park guards walk by with their wolf dogs.Going to the farmland at night to steal cucumbers, the melon shed was covered in darkness, he stretched out his arms, swayed under the melon shed, and picked cucumbers when he touched them; they also stole watermelons, lying down in the melon field and looking at them under the moonlight, the reflection was brighter It is a fast-ripening melon. For Huang Nubo, the biggest difficulty in life is still in childhood. He is weak and has only a little strength, and anyone can bully him; he is not strong enough, he will feel uncomfortable, afraid, and painful.He was beaten repeatedly by the hammer named Doom, and only then did he become the steel he is today.Compared with hunger and death, the cruelty of human nature haunts him like a nightmare, which he will never forget all his life.

He remembered that his mother was buried once digging soil because the city wall collapsed. Fortunately, she was rescued by the man who picked up cow dung in the morning and sent to the hospital.After coming out of the hospital, she walked home with a limp.Some ignorant children imitated her and walked with a limp.She sometimes cried in the street, crying about her husband's untimely death. "The worst thing about my mother is that she has suffered all her life as a woman. My classmates are ignorant and always imitate how my mother cries on the street. This hurts me a lot." He still remembers that his family managed to raise a rabbit, and the workers from the factory caught the rabbit and poured gasoline on it.The burning rabbit ran around in pain, and those people laughed.Rabbits were burned alive.In that era when right and wrong were reversed and conscience was lost, people had no mercy for living beings.The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can all be bullied.

He even remembered that he once fought with a boy who couldn't beat him.The boy's father rushed over and hugged him, making him unable to break free; the boy picked up a brick and threw it on his head, knocking him unconscious.When he woke up, his head was bleeding, and the father and son had already left. The onlookers laughed, thinking that people from "counter-revolutionary families" should be beaten.He still has the scar on his head today. Friends who had made good friends with his father in the past also stayed away. "Anyone who stands with you should be arrested too. This class struggle is too cruel, treating people like animals." Huang Nubo said.

"Whose family's wild child is this?" This is what Huang Nubo's mother said when he visited a classmate's house to play.Huang Nubo was greatly stimulated by the cold gaze and disdainful tone. "We are at the bottom of society, living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and anyone can bully us." Even after decades, Huang Nubo still couldn't hide his anger when recalling those years. It was a distorted era, his family suffered many injustices, his childhood was uprooted, and he tasted the cruelty of the world. On March 28, 2010, Huang Nubo revisited the Gobi, and Mount Helan awakened his boyhood memories.At that time, he liked to cross the Gobi to go to Helan Mountain alone: ​​"You don't understand, in that era, people were the most cruel to people, and everyone could beat me because of my bad background. Only dogs can't bite you , Only a donkey will not kick you. I went to Helan Mountain when I was 13 years old, and I lived in the mountain at night, but I felt safer. I thought I must have been a wolf in my previous life. When I returned to the mountain, I immediately felt relieved. There is nothing in the mountain The things I fear. The experiences I had when I was a child made me more vigilant towards people.”

In an era when fate was like grass and humanity was like a beast, Huang Nubo chose fists.When he was in junior high school, he was already very good at fighting. If he couldn't fight, he would call a group of people to fight in groups, or smash other people's windows with bricks.Once the school wronged him, others clamored, do you dare to smash the school glass?He just picked up the brick and smashed the school glass.No one dared to provoke him anymore. For he is like a wild beast. "I'm risking my life. If you beat me today, I will definitely come to you tomorrow. If you don't beat me to death, I will haunt you all the time, or I will smash the glass of your house." He once led someone to touch the window in the middle of the night In other people's homes, bricks were used to smash the glass, and there were babies on the kang in the house, so they just threw them in. "I'm really scared when I think about it now." Huang Nubo said.

His youngest son, Xin Fei, was the son of a cadre at the time, and his father was the head of the Ningxia branch of Xinhua News Agency.He recalled that era and said: "After I was bullied a lot, I found that fighting can actually protect my dignity." When he was studying, Huang Nubo was always criticized.The school held a monthly criticism meeting to carry out class struggle, and children from bad backgrounds were pulled up to stand in a row, and their classmates pointed wooden guns at them and told them to bow their heads.The students below shouted slogans to criticize these "bad guys".Huang Nubo never bowed his head.The Red Guards, who were also his classmates, hit him with gun butts.Huang's mother was called to the school to visit the criticism meeting, and she also told the Red Guards to beat her son, and she was afraid that his son would suffer even more if he refused to surrender.Thousands of people stared at the stage, but Huang Nubo never bowed his head.The leader of the Workers Propaganda Team said forget it and don't beat him, that's all.

The next day, Huang Nubo and his two companions stopped the person who hit him with a wooden gun at the gate of the school.He whipped the man with a canvas belt with a metal buckle, and as soon as the belt was pulled up, the blood flowed down.Although he was afraid in his heart, he gritted his teeth and twitched again. "It was so barbaric at that time. In a barbaric environment, you can only live barbarously. When you are beaten to the extreme, your life is already very cheap." When he said this, he gestured with his hands and trembled a bit . Huang Nubo couldn't tolerate others scolding his mother the most.His classmates recalled that when they entered the classroom, everyone would push me and I would push you.Someone pushed Huang Nubo, and he bumped into a classmate who was sitting and doing homework, and scratched the other's notebook.The classmate jumped up and opened his mouth to curse "your mother".Huang Nubo suddenly became anxious. At that time, he was tall and sat in the last row.That classmate is short and sits in the first row.Like an eagle catching a chick, he pulled people up and slapped him when he raised his hand.Just when Teacher Tu walked into the classroom, he said angrily, "You, you, give me another slap if you have the ability!" Teacher Tu pulled them to the podium and said, "Slap him again if you have the ability." Huang Nubo really raised his hand and slapped his classmate again.His classmates and Lili were sitting in their seats, their hearts beating fast: it's over, and they must be criticized again.

The wild nature of his youth still affects Huang Nubo today. In October 2008, Huang Nubo successfully climbed to the sixth highest peak in the world - Cho Oyu in Tibet at an altitude of 8201 meters.Near the base camp at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, there are Tibetan mastiffs from border guard posts, which have bitten members of the mountaineering team.One day, Huang Nubo went out for training, and when he came back, he had to pass through a deep ditch, when suddenly four Tibetan mastiffs sprang out and rushed towards him from four directions.After seeing Huang Nubo descending into the ditch 200 meters away, Captain Wanga heard the barking of a dog and yelled, "No! Mr. Huang was bitten by a dog!" When Wanga rushed over, Huang Nubo But he calmed down, took out his trekking pole and hit it a few times, and then let out a roar. The four Tibetan mastiffs braked urgently four or five meters away from him, and then turned around and left.Huang Nubo said: "I don't know how many dogs I have killed, maybe I have a murderous look on my body, and I am still afraid of dogs?" When Huang Nubo was an educated youth, he was the deputy battalion commander of the militia battalion and often beat dogs.For a while, an infectious disease was prevalent in Tonggui Village, where he jumped in line, and dogs were to be exterminated.The locals didn't dare to kill the dog, so they had to find Huang Nubo: "I picked up the gun, pointed at the dog, and the dog fell down. So, the dog will be afraid of me when it sees me in the future." , Huang Nubo also gestured with both hands to aim the gun. In April 2009, Huang Nubo climbed Mount Everest. When he first arrived at the base camp, two Russians drank vodka and sang and made noise in their tent that night. People in dozens of nearby tents did not sleep well. Sleep.Huang Nubo also stayed up all night.At dawn the next day, Huang Nubo, whose eyes were bloodshot, lifted a trekking pole, opened the tent of the Russians, and cursed angrily, and was about to beat them. The two Russians saw Huang Nubo's red eyes and knew something was wrong. He opened the tent and fled. Zhongkun Group had been blackmailed. After hearing this, Huang Nubo's eyes widened, he slammed the table, and roared, "They don't know that I am a Northwest wild donkey!" He immediately ordered his subordinates to collect evidence and file a complaint.Huang Nubo likes to call himself the Northwest Wolf, but it is unknown whether the "wild donkey" is a slip of the tongue.
