Chapter 19 Chapter 6 Where to Find a Desk After the Phlegm Licking Case

On April 12, 2007, the "phlegm licking case" of Zhang Xiaogang, a high school student in Beijing, was heard publicly in the Shijingshan District People's Court.Zhang Xiaogang, a phlegm-licking boy, sued Beijing Liwen Middle School and Yang Yuxiu, the director of politics and education of the school, for infringement. Zhang Xiaogang demanded compensation of 50,000 yuan for mental damage from the two defendants, and demanded that Yang Yuxiu make a public apology.During the trial, Teacher Yang Yuxiu had a sudden heart attack and lay on the dock. Zhang Xiaogang walked up to Yang Yuxiu, held Teacher Yang's hand and called "Mom".Immediately, the case took a turn for the worse, the two parties shook hands and made peace, and the plaintiff, Zhang Xiaogang, withdrew the lawsuit against the school and the teacher in court.

After the plaintiff and the defendant reconciled in court, although teacher Yang Yuxiu tried every means to contact a school for Zhang Xiaogang, Zhang Xiaogang, who wanted to continue studying, suddenly found that Nuo Dajing could not find a desk of his own. On August 15, 2007, half a month before the start of the new semester, the reporter learned during an interview that Zhang Xiaogang still hadn't found a school willing to accept him.His parents had no choice but to ask a tutor to help him in his studies, hoping that he would grow up to be a useful person. Confused teenager, complex and rebellious "punk"

If people born in the 1970s were the generation that grew up with television, and those born in the 1980s were the generation that grew up with diverse cultures in the early days of computer popularization, then what kind of generation would people born in the 1990s be like? ?With the improvement of various communication tools, young people born in the 1990s are surrounded by an information-based atmosphere from birth to cognition.They understand this diverse world prematurely, and use childish minds to distinguish the so-called right from wrong. For this reason, children in the 90s sometimes challenge authority and express their true thoughts in extreme ways.

17-year-old Zhang Xiaogang is a student of Liwen Middle School in Shijingshan District, Beijing, but he is only a probationary student in this school. The probationary agreement signed with the school stipulates that Zhang Xiaogang must abide by the contents of the agreement before the school allows him to continue. Learn. Zhang Xiaogang, who has just arrived, looks very different among his classmates. His attire surprised the students around him, with gaudy clothes, messy hair, and a sloppy look.His friend also dressed very differently, with steel nails on many places on his body, and a long metal chain hanging from his waist.Zhang Xiaogang said that this is a symbol of "punk". They play with "dirty friends". They don't take a bath for several months like British punk boys. Lose.

Zhang Xiaogang, who was in the rebellious period of youth, was obsessed with "punk" (PUNK).However, Zhang Xiaogang didn't understand what the real "punk" spirit is, what he learned was only the decadent and rebellious appearance of "punk". Punk was born during the British economic crisis in the 1970s and is an anti-rock music force.The background of its generation determines that it is inherently rebellious. It is a deformed product under the unbalanced compression of material and desire, ideal and environment. Sensitivity to material is an important concept of punk.Punk used crude music to elevate their blatantly rebellious behavior to a philosophical level, creating a warped sense of responsibility and a marginal cultural phenomenon under theories of subjectivity and the negation of negation.

Punks have a restless aggressiveness and aggression, as well as a feeling that they are not satisfied with everything. Only through spiritual catharsis and soul mania can the inner torment be satisfied.In recent years, punk has won the love of many teenagers who are in the period of confusion and rebellion with its strong rebellion and extremeness, and Zhang Xiaogang is one of them. Zhang Xiaogang not only wears "punk", but also has a bold and alternative style of doing things. His personality is different from ordinary people. He is a "problem boy" in the eyes of school teachers and classmates.For this reason, there were many frictions between Zhang Xiaogang and his teachers and classmates.Once, Zhang Xiaogang had a conflict with a teacher because of the violent words, and later the teacher resigned and left school.

One of Zhang Xiaogang's classmates, Wang Xingyang, is also a loyal fan of "punk". In order to show his love for "punk", Wang Xingyang printed the words "Punk shines on China" on his school uniform.On this day, Wang Xingyang wore this school uniform to school, and Zhang Xiaogang couldn't help admiring Wang Xingyang's behavior after seeing it.Wang Xingyang was also very proud, showing off in this ordinary but special school uniform.Just when a teacher passed by, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Xingyang's behavior, so he asked him to take off his school uniform and confiscated it.After Zhang Xiaogang knew about this incident, he felt wronged for Wang Xingyang. He thought Wang Xingyang's actions were acceptable.

"Licking phlegm" incident, one stone caused a thousand waves On the evening of November 30, 2006, during the self-study class, Yang Yuxiu, the director of the school's political education, patrolled the campus as usual. 54-year-old Yang Yuxiu has been teaching at Liwen Middle School for 7 years.Not long ago, Yang Yuxiu was awarded as one of the 100 Dedication Award Teachers in Beijing Private Schools. When Yang Yuxiu came to the playground, she suddenly found a student playing with a mobile phone on the playground.Yang Yuxiu was very angry. This school clearly stipulates that students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school.Teacher Yang didn't know which student brought the mobile phone in violation of school regulations.

Yang Yuxiu took a closer look, and it turned out to be Zhang Xiaogang, a freshman in high school. Yang Yuxiu suddenly felt her head was getting bigger.Yang Yuxiu has always had a headache for this child, she has been trying to communicate with Zhang Xiaogang, she wants him to be a "good boy", but there is always an insurmountable gap between these two people of different ages and values. Yang Yuxiu walked up to Zhang Xiaogang and said to him: "Give me the phone." Zhang Xiaogang, who was playing with the phone, was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that Yang Yuxiu would suddenly appear in front of him.Seeing that he didn't move, Yang Yuxiu said, "Give me your mobile phone. It's not like you don't know the school rules, and you've violated the rules again." Zhang Xiaogang's rebellious energy came up, thinking that if you asked me to give it to me, I would give it to you. , I will not give it to you!Zhang Xiaogang remained silent, but refused to hand over the phone.

Yang Yuxiu became anxious and said, "Why are you so disobedient, kid? If I ask you to give it to me, you can give it to me, right? If you don't give it to me today, I will ask your head teacher to write a note. You can go home first." ." When Zhang Xiaogang heard that he was going to let him go home, he was a little panicked, because it was hard for his family to find a school that accepted him. Although Zhang Xiaogang didn't like reading, he didn't want to drop out of school either.Zhang Xiaogang thought for a while, then handed the phone to Yang Yuxiu.Yang Yuxiu took the phone and said, "Follow me to the Moral Education Department."

What happened later was unimaginable and became the focus of this case.Regarding the process of licking phlegm, Zhang Xiaogang and Yang Yuxiu each have a version. Zhang Xiaogang version: I handed my mobile phone to Yang Yuxiu because I was afraid of dropping out of school. I accidentally spit on the ground, and Yang Yuxiu immediately asked me to wipe it off.But I didn't bring a tissue with me, and I couldn't find anything to wipe the phlegm, so I said, "It's really not possible, can I lick it off for you?" After hearing this, Yang Yuxiu said, "Okay, you can lick it off. "In desperation, I lay down on the ground in front of many classmates and licked up the phlegm. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaogang said: "How could there be a mop on the playground to wipe the phlegm on the ground? In fact, I really hope that Yang Yuxiu can stop me." Yang Yuxiu version: Zhang Xiaogang spit out a mouthful of phlegm arrogantly and walked away with staring eyes. I was very angry and said to him: "You come back and wipe it with a mop." Because the place where Zhang Xiaogang spit was near the toilet of the teaching building.But at this time, Zhang Xiaogang replied: "I lick it, okay?" I said, "You are a high school student, and you know what to do and what not to do." He licked up the phlegm.I was stunned, I never thought that Zhang Xiaogang would really do this, and the process of Zhang Xiaogang licking the phlegm was very fast, there was no time to stop it. After licking the phlegm, Zhang Xiaogang was ordered to drop out of school because the incident had a huge impact on the students. After Zhang Xiaogang was expelled from school, he had nothing to do at home.His parents paid a lot of money to hire tutors to give him extra lessons so that he would not delay his studies.In the past six months, Zhang Xiaogang found that he still wanted to go to school. Only in the school's learning atmosphere could he study with peace of mind, and in the future he would be admitted to a university and become a useful person. At the end of January 2007, Zhang Xiaogang's parents reported the incident through the media, and sued Liwen Middle School and Yang Yuxiu, who handled the incident, to the Beijing Shijingshan District People's Court on the grounds that the school's improper handling measures had caused physical and mental harm to minors. Ask the school to re-admit Zhang Xiaogang, and compensate 50,000 yuan for mental damage. For a while, the media and the public expressed their views on this matter one after another.Some people think that because the children in the school are in a disadvantaged position and the teacher is the authority, it leads to such bad things happening on campus.After the matter was reported by the media, Yang Yuxiu became the target of public criticism. She once thought of proving her innocence by dying. The situation in the court, the two sides embraced and made peace On April 12, 2007, the "Licking Phlegm" case, which has attracted much attention from all parties, was heard in the People's Court of Shijingshan District, Beijing. During the trial, Zhang Xiaogang's lawyer played the video material of the previous media interview with Zhang Xiaogang's classmate in court.In the video, Zhang Xiaogang's classmate claimed that he witnessed the whole process, proving that Zhang Xiaogang's sputum licking behavior was based on Yang Yuxiu's threats and coercion, and said: "I was stupid at the time." Regarding this video, Yang Yuxiu cried and questioned Zhang Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, can I call you a child? Child, do you think this evidence is true?" Zhang Xiaogang did not speak, but just nodded. Yang Yuxiu's agent held up a school uniform of Zhang Xiaogang's classmate in court and said that the words "Punk shines on China" were written on the school uniform, indicating that Zhang Xiaogang and his classmates were both punks. The student who testified had a special tattoo on his arm, so His words are not credible. Yang Yuxiu and the school's representative believe that the "phlegm licking incident" is purely fabricated, Zhang Xiaogang has no evidence to prove that Yang Yuxiu asked him to lick it, and there is no evidence to prove that he actually did it.A student testified that Zhang Xiaogang was pretending to lick phlegm in order to disgust the teacher. The school and Yang Yuxiu were the victims of this malicious lawsuit.Subsequently, the school's agent began to present evidence to the court, proving that Zhang Xiaogang had repeatedly violated school regulations, and was not expelled for spitting this time. At the insistence of the school, several student witnesses appeared in court, proving that Zhang Xiaogang had insulted the English teacher and beat the school students after being persuaded to leave.The school's approach was protested by Zhang Xiaogang's lawyer. During the fierce confrontation between the two sides, Yang Yuxiu suddenly suffered from heart pain and needed to take quick-acting heart-relief pills. The judge announced a 5-minute adjournment.As a result, more than a dozen media immediately flocked to Zhang Xiaogang.But at this time, Zhang Xiaogang bypassed the reporters and walked towards the dock. Yang Yuxiu was lying on the table in the dock, and Zhang Xiaogang walked over to hold her hand.Yang Yuxiu looked up to see Zhang Xiaogang, hugged him, and cried on his shoulder: "Son, how could you do this? Child, you just want to disgust me, and you can't do that even if you beat me. You can't put dirty water Splash it on the teacher's head!" Zhang Xiaogang whispered, "I just want to go to school." Yang Yuxiu hugged Zhang Xiaogang tightly. Zhang Xiaogang's eye circles were also red, he patted the teacher on the back and suddenly shouted softly: "Mom, mom..." This scene moved everyone present. After the trial again, Zhang Xiaogang asked to withdraw the prosecution against Yang Yuxiu and the school.Although it was unexpected, everyone was not surprised by the scene just now.On the contrary, the lawyers of the school and the teacher disagreed with the withdrawal of the lawsuit and insisted that the court continue the trial and clarify the responsibilities. The People's Court of Shijingshan District, Beijing considered that the withdrawal application did not violate the law, and did not affect the interests of others, which was also Zhang Xiaogang's true intention, and finally agreed to withdraw the lawsuit. In court, Yang Yuxiu said affectionately: "Zhang Xiaogang will always be my student, my child. It is common for children to hurt their parents. A reporter's child told me that when a child needs to vent, he most wants to vent The target is his parents. I have never blamed Zhang Xiaogang, I will always care about him, as long as Zhang Xiaogang needs me, Yang Yuxiu will die. What we want to cultivate is what we admire, not what we despise." After Zhang Xiaogang heard this, he said, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry for saying three words to you. Please pay attention to your body. I love you." Yang Yuxiu choked up and said, "I will always miss you." In court, Zhang Xiaogang's father also bowed affectionately to Yang Yuxiu, and said to teacher Yang Yuxiu: "At that time, the school didn't talk to us, and we had no choice but to go to court." Yang Yuxiu said to him, "Whenever you need me, I will help you." After the trial ended, teachers and students lost their grievances, and Zhang Xiaogang helped Yang Yuxiu leave the court. After the trial, Zhang Xiaogang was interviewed by the reporter. He said: "I am very uncomfortable, and I can't describe it in words." Zhang Xiaogang said with red eyes: "I was very anxious when I saw the teacher was ill. I came forward to let the teacher not be so excited. ." "Do you think you were wrong at the time?" the reporter asked him. "It was wrong, I was not sensible at the time." Zhang Xiaogang said that after experiencing this incident, he felt that he was more mature. With a sigh, where can the phlegm-licking boy find a school? After the "phlegm licking" incident, Yang Yuxiu, exhausted physically and mentally, submitted her resignation letter to the school and left her teaching post for many years.Although the school tried its best to keep her, Yang Yuxiu made it clear that she would never be a teacher again in this life. But Zhang Xiaogang still hasn't enrolled in school.It turned out that there were two schools that expressed their willingness to accept Zhang Xiaogang, including a school that Yang Yuxiu helped Zhang Xiaogang find through his personal relationship.But half a month later, the school changed its original intention and refused to accept Zhang Xiaogang.The reason turned out to be that the teachers and students in the school strongly opposed the acceptance of Zhang Xiaogang. The school was afraid that the incident of students suing the teacher would happen again. The teachers were afraid of this "problem" boy, and the students were unwilling to study in the same school as Zhang Xiaogang. We cannot criticize those schools that rejected Zhang Xiaogang. After all, the phlegm-licking case has aroused great repercussions in Beijing. No matter what reason Zhang Xiaogang licks phlegm, after all, his phlegm-licking behavior is very "heretical" and unacceptable.We can understand those schools that reject Zhang Xiaogang. However, from the "Mom" that Zhang Xiaogang yelled to Yang Yuxiu in court, we have reason to conclude that Zhang Xiaogang is actually a kind-hearted child. The reason why he sued the teacher and the school has only one purpose, that is, to return Go to school to study.However, things backfired for Zhang Xiaogang. After the sputum licking incident, Zhang Xiaogang became a "celebrity", and people looked at this underage child more suspiciously.People only saw his decadent and rebellious "punk" appearance, but did not communicate with his inner world. What is even more sad is that there is no school that can accept this child who is eager to learn and become a talent with an open and tolerant heart. We can't help but think of such a question, it is not children who control educational resources but adults, so how many adults can really know what children in the 1990s want?For them, the material life is quite satisfied, and the intake of spiritual food is the basis for ensuring their healthy personality in the future.Under their "punk" appearance is a fragile heart, and their rebellious appearance is actually because they need the approval and understanding of adults more.In the process of their growth, wandering too much in the virtual world and accepting multiculturalism too much will make their hearts more empty and confused, and make their ability to distinguish right from wrong determined by their temperament, without any cover, without any No scruples.Once you can't be recognized and perceived by others, your characteristics such as irritability and rebellion will be revealed immediately. Zhang Xiaogang is a kind child, but also a child who needs someone to recognize him, understand him, and cultivate him.For such a child who is not deeply involved in the world, our society should tolerate him and give him enough sunshine so that he can return to the life that should belong to him instead of abandoning him. However, in Nuo Da Beijing City, who gave Zhang Xiaogang a desk to go to school?
