He is a top student who graduated from Peking University . With his excellent grades, he got the opportunity to study abroad. After studying in the United States for six years, he left a farewell letter to his sister and walked into the university campus with a pistol.
killed five teachers and students in the school in a short time, including his mentor and Chinese students in the same dormitory.
What exactly has he experienced in the United States and why did he do such an extreme thing?
This issue will bring you a look at the story of Lu Gang .
Beijing University has been qualified to study abroad
In 1991, a horrific shooting occurred at the University of Iowa, USA. This incident caused three professors of the school, a vice president of the school and a Chinese student to lose their precious lives.
After killing several people, the assailant immediately committed suicide by drinking and killing himself on the scene of the crime. It makes people wonder what kind of grudges and entanglements the gun holder has with the victims, so he wants to take this slap.
The person who committed the crime was named Lu Gang. To talk about him, he must start with his academic career.
Lu Gang was born in an ordinary working family in Beijing. Although he had two sisters on it, his family put all his love on him.
Lu Gang did not disappoint such love. He has had a super IQ since he was a child, and his academic performance has always been the best in his class. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Department of Physics of Peking University and became an enviable top student.
However, after entering the school, Lu Gang did not get along well with his classmates. He was successful in his youth and almost no one could match his studies, which also led to him looking down on his classmates.
always looks arrogant when dating others, and naturally he is a little mean when speaking.
Although he is not good at dealing with people, no one has ever denied Lu Gang's ability. He is well-deserved first in every academic assessment.
Physics is a subject that needs to be seen outside, especially for China at that time. If you want to achieve something in the subject of physics, going abroad to study was the first choice for all students.
However, with Lu Gang's family conditions, it was a big problem to raise enough tuition. Fortunately, there was a Meimei physics exchange and selection project in China at that time, and students who passed the assessment could get the opportunity to study abroad for wages.
This is great good news for Lu Gang, because for him, passing the assessment is just a matter of being able to get it right.
The fact is indeed as Lu Gang expected. He passed the assessment with excellent results. In June 1985, after obtaining , he went to the United States with the public expenses given by the school.
officially entered at the University of Iowa, preparing to pursue a Ph.D. in physics.
is proud of his talent, which aroused dissatisfaction among his classmates and his mentors
Lu Gang, who was used to being proud of Peking University, still looked arrogant when he came to the University of Iowa. In his opinion, those who are engaged in academics must speak with their ability. Those classmates around him who are obviously weaker than him have no value of communication.
So Lu Gang is always alone in daily life. He will find a way to solve any problems he encounters. He will not ask for help or find his mentor to solve his problems.
Lu Gang's field of research at that time was plasma , which was an unpopular discipline at that time. There were only more than 300 scientists in the United States who conducted related research, and Lu Gang was struggling on this road.
Lu Gang, who is hardworking in his studies, has the best scores in each subject in the grade, which makes him look down on his classmates more and more.
After no one around him was willing to communicate with him, Lu Gang used his own method to relieve the loneliness in a foreign land, and the way he chose was a bit different, that is, indulging in love and desire.
He started dating his girlfriend in high school, and when he came to the open country of the United States, he would not restrain himself, whether it was domestic or foreign, single or married, innocent or standing on the street.
As long as it is what Lu Gang wants, he will not let it go. There is no love in his heart, only desire, and only by constantly shaking among all kinds of women can he find a moment of tranquility in his heart.
At this time, Lu Gang only had two preferences, one was physics and the other was women, but soon he didn't want to like these two items.
In 1987, an international student who graduated from University of Science and Technology of China was moved into the dormitory where Lu Gang was, named Shan Linhua. Like Lu Gang, he also worshipped Professor Goldz, and the two can be regarded as brothers of the same school.
Shan Linhua's family conditions are much worse than those of Lu Gang. Born in a poor rural family in Zhejiang, he is the eldest son of his family. He has been carrying the expectations of the whole family since he was a child, so that he can one day get rid of poverty with his whole family.
He was hard-working and eager to study. He was admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 16. Since then, he has been studying continuously. After obtaining a master's degree in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China, like Lu Gang, he embarked on the road of studying abroad for public funds.
Affected by the family environment, Shan Linhua did not have the arrogance of being a top student, and was serious and kind to others. Not long after he arrived at the University of Iowa, he made many friends and he also respected the teachers who taught.
His appearance perfectly highlights how bad Lu Gang's character is, because Lu Gang does not respect his mentor much, and the two often quarrels over academic issues. Professor Goltz doesn't like this student from the bottom of his heart.
Shan Linhua made Professor Goldz quite happy. The relationship between the two became better and better, and Lu Gang was naturally neglected.
It has to be said that Lu Gang does have a certain talent in physics. Even after five years of independent study, he completed his doctoral thesis within the prescribed time after being bored by Professor Goldz. It was also at this time that the contradiction broke out.
failed the defense, and he felt resentful and shot five people. When Professor Goldz got Lu Gang's doctoral thesis, Lu Gang's thesis defense began, but the situation did not go as smoothly as Lu Gang expected. At the defense site, he was picked by the professors present in turn, and the defense failed regretfully.
However, Shan Linhua, who also submitted her doctoral thesis this year, received unanimous praise from her supervisors in the defense, and was even recommended as an excellent thesis, and won the DCS Academic Honor Award, the highest honor for students in the school.
At that moment, Shan Linhua was in full bloom in the school. After graduation, he became Professor Goldz's assistant, wandering in the laboratory and campus every day.
In the following year, the topics studied by Shan Linhua and Professor Goldz and Professor Smith from the same school were highly praised by the academic community after the paper was published.
At this time, Lu Gang sat alone in the dormitory, watching his roommate set up a high-rise to entertain guests. This was something that he couldn't accept for Lu Gang, who was already arrogant.
Lu Gang felt deeply hatred for Shan Linhua, Goldz and the professors who were in the defense. He wanted to take revenge on the other party, but the premise was to prove himself first.
The next year, Lu Gang revised his thesis and successfully graduated from the University of Iowa. It is logical that after graduating from a doctorate, he could easily find a suitable job, but almost no professor in the school recommended him.
After leaving school, he wandered for several months and still did not stabilize. At this time, Lu Gang still completely lost hope for the world. With all his thoughts, he began to build his own revenge plan.
Lu Gang, who had been in Iowa for six years, applied for an gun certificate through various relationships and then went to the gun store to buy a continuous revolver.
1991 On November 1, 1991, on the day Lu Gang was about to take action, he wrote a letter to his second sister who had the best relationship with him. After sending it, he went straight to Room 309 of the Physics Building.
At this time, a seminar on physics was being held in the classroom. Although they were surprised by Lu Gang's arrival, they didn't say much.
But when Lu Gang came to Professor Goldz to take out his pistol, everyone was frightened, and before the horror sound was released, Lu Gang had already shot.
bullets first hit Professor Goldz's body. After seeing that Goldz was about to escape, Lu Gang shot him in the back of the head, and then shot Professor Smith twice.
The incident happened suddenly. After a brief pause, the students in the classroom fled out one after another. Only Shan Linhua had never experienced such a thing and stood there stupidly and didn't know what to do. After Lu Gang discovered it, he fired several shots and took Shan Linhua's life, who was only 27 years old.
But Lu Gang's revenge plan did not end. After leaving the classroom, he came to the department director's office, took out his pistol and shot him in the head without saying a word. After
, he came to principal's office , killed the vice principal of the school, and injured the student secretary who wanted to call the police. Although there were still some people he wanted to retaliate against in this school, he no longer had time to find it slowly.
When he came to Room 203, he saw the students and professors running in a panic outside the window. He said nothing, and after a moment of silence, he raised his pistol and ended his life.
Lu Gang vented all his dissatisfaction before his death, but he killed other innocent people's lives.
Especially for Shan Linhua, he finally changed the fate of the family through his own efforts and eventually died in Lu Gang's pathological psychology. How unfair fate is to him.
