Chapter 45 celebrity in jail

Dear Xiaowen: Grandma said that you wanted to see Dad and that Mom had told you about Dad going to jail.In the past three years and seven months, the reason why I haven't told you is because you are too young. Now that you are getting older, you can know. The reasons for going to prison are very complicated, and you still don’t fully understand that some people go to prison because they have done bad things, but some people go to prison not because they did bad things, and some people are even wronged. "Law" is the remedy for this possibility.So when a person is in prison, we cannot immediately conclude that he is a bad person who has done bad things. It will take a lot of time to prove it (of course there are obvious bad people who did bad things, such as smoking opium and pirates, and it is easy to prove) .Dreyfus in France took twelve years to prove his innocence.

A lot of great people, a lot of celebrities, have been in prison.Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the prime minister of India, has been sitting for a year and a month now.Her father is Nehru (the h of Nehru is not pronounced, and it was a Chinese mistake to translate it into Heyin), who was also the Prime Minister of India and served ten and a half years in prison.Another Indian celebrity named "Mahatma" Gandhi (Mohandas K. Gandhi) served 2,338 days in prison, and his wife died in prison.Mrs. Gandhi, the current Prime Minister of India, married another Gandhi, who has no kinship with this Gandhi.Now the Prime Minister of West Germany, Willy Brandt, his parents planned to get married, and he has also been imprisoned.Tunisia's President Habib Bourguiba has also spent more than a decade in prison and in exile.Kenya's prime minister and president, Jomo Kenyatta, also spent nine years in jail.Britain's Queen Elizabeth I (Elizabeth I, now Elizabeth II) has also been in prison since she was 20 years old. She is not the legal daughter of her parents, but she later became the greatest queen in British history. Anyone is legal.She lived to be seventy years old, and has been a "female emperor" for forty-five years since she was twenty-five. This is the "golden age" in British history, with a wealth of talents and cultural relics. The great writer Shakespeare is People of that time (sixteenth to seventeenth centuries).

From the 13th to the 14th century, there was a man named Marco Polo who crossed the Asian continent from Italy to China, returned to Italy 24 years later, and was imprisoned. A fellow sufferer wrote a book, The Book of Marco Polo (The Book of Marco Polo). This book aroused Europeans' interest in the East, so they tried to come to the East, but the land route was blocked.Because I heard that the earth is round, I wanted to go around it by sea, so I sailed west and finally discovered America.Although Columbus discovered America, he didn't know it. He thought he had arrived in India in the east. He thought the Indians were Indians, so he called them Indians, and called them red people. In fact, they were Asian yellow races. Not red and not Indian.Look, Xiaowen, how fun it is to write a book in prison, so many discoveries and stories have evolved.

Writers who write books are often behind bars.Have you seen?The English name of the book is Robinson Crusoe, and the author, Daniel Defoe, was imprisoned for more than a year.The French writer Voltaire, who was at the same time as the Englishman Defoe, was also imprisoned.The most famous award in the world after the 20th century is the Nobel Prize. The winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature, the British philosopher Bertrand Russell and the Soviet writer Solzhenitsyn have all been imprisoned . German writers Ludwig Quidde and Carl von Ossietzky, who won the Nobel Peace Prize, were also imprisoned, all because of their articles.

There are two interesting prison stories for you: 1. Hitler, the former head of state of Germany, wanted to write a book when he was in prison. The title of the book was called, but his German was very poor, so his roommate Rudolf Hess caught the knife. After he was released from prison, Hess sat down second place.At the age of forty-seven, he flew a plane to Britain for negotiations, but was locked up by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (who also served in prison) until Germany surrendered, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Nuremberg Trial.Eleven people who were sentenced with him were hanged, and seven people were sentenced to ten or twenty years in prison. By the year before his father went to prison (1970), everyone else had been released from prison, only Hess was alone. Now sitting, he was already seventy-six at that time, and he had already been in prison for thirty years.Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union sent people to detain him, and it cost 300,000 U.S. dollars a year, or 830 U.S. dollars, or 32,000 NT dollars a day, but Hess was in good health, and he wanted his enemies to continue After spending money, he said he was not guilty.The prison supplies him with ten books a week and four newspapers a day.

2. Another interesting prison story is that of the American labor leader Eugene V. Debs. When the United States was elected president in 1920, Debs was in prison and won one million votes.Although he was sentenced to ten years in prison, President Harding of the United States saw that he was too popular, so he had to pardon him. dad October 19, 1974 P.S.: I received your letter on the 6th and 14th. I wrote two letters to my friends last week, but I didn’t write to you. Only two letters can be sent out here every week.
