htmlBeginning in the 190s, I was dominated by the "village tyrant" Ge Hongce for many years and forced me to give birth to a son for him and get a fake marriage to him. For this reason, I lost my husband and son and my personal freedom. Later, I finally awakened to reveal my heartbreaking bitter and humiliating experiences to the world in order to recover my innocence and dignity.
Change jobs for my husband, but fall into the tiger's mouth
My name is Liu Xia, from Xiacun Township, Cangshan County, Shandong Province. After graduating from high school in 1981, I was recommended to the township art propaganda team, which attracted the attention of Ge Hongce, the 32-year-old township propaganda committee member at the time. In 1983, the township recruited private teachers, and I was admitted to become a primary school teacher.
10 years have passed in a flash, and I have become a family here. My husband is a middle school teacher. We also have a lovely son and life is dull and warm. In 1991, I went to Cangshan County Teachers College for further studies. Once, on a bus back to in Xiacun Township, I happened to meet Ge Hongce, whom I had not met for 10 years. At this time, he had been transferred back to Xiacun Township to work and said that if I had any trouble, I would like to find him.
My husband has always been eager to work in the village. Since meeting Ge Hongce, I think he is a way. So, I found Ge Hongce twice with the gift. He neither agreed nor refused to refuse my husband's secondment.
One night, Ge Hongce took the initiative to come to my temporary dormitory in the county town. He said in a state of drunkenness: "Your husband's secondment has already made a fuss. You have to thank me..." Suddenly, he jumped up from his seat and stepped forward to hug me. I struggled desperately, but I tried my best to break free from this devil with a human face and beast heart. Later, Ge Hongce made a sweet wish to me: "Your husband's business is fine, it's just my words."
I was angry, shy and ashamed. After my husband returned home, I wanted to speak out several times but stopped, for fear of losing this happy home, so I had to swallow the humiliation with tears. On the third day, my husband came home and told me happily: "Liu Xia, I have already gone to work in the countryside! Money is still working..." I quickly turned around and tears burst out from my eyes.
He threatened me: You can't be better if you don't give birth to a son
After that, Ge Hongce came to pester me every few days. Once, I went to visit my relatives dozens of miles away, and Ge Hongce drove me from his relative's house to his room in the guesthouse...
At the end of 1992, Ge Hongce was transferred to Moshan Town, Cangshan County, 30 kilometers away from Xiacun Township to work. I secretly thanked: This time I can finally get rid of this demon's entanglement. Less than three months after Ge Hongce took office in Moshan Town, he transferred my husband to the vice principal of a middle school in Moshan Town, and transferred me to the town center kindergarten as the head. I will never do it. But my husband, who has been in the dark, mobilized me again and again. In order not to let my husband notice and to protect this family, I had to bite the bullet and come to Moshan Town.
In the next days, I was controlled by Ge Hongce again. I am worried every day, worried that my husband will leave me when he finds out. Ge Hongce seized this weakness and came to harass me every day. I must be on call and not be negligent at all. Once, he told me that I had to get to the room he rented in the guesthouse within a quarter of an hour. Because I was in class at that time and wanted to wait until the get out of class was over. Unexpectedly, just one quarter of an hour passed, he rushed into the classroom and pulled me into his car, and did not say hello to other teachers. He looked upset: "You are too brave, you dare to disobey me. If there is another time, don't blame me for sweeping you and your wife out!"
His casual and unscrupulous behavior caused the incident between us to be in a sudden burst of storm. I made up my mind to leave Ge Hongce and threatened him with suicide. But Ge Hongce immediately yelled at me with anger, "I have brothers in black and white, dare you refuse, I call your parents and brothers, and my family won't have a good life!"
One morning in 1996, Ge Hongce called me to his office and said to me, "After observing over the past few years, I found that you are the most suitable candidate to give birth to a son for me, and I want to marry you." I was shocked: He is already 50 years old, his wife teaches at the county No. 1 Middle School, and his three daughters have grown up and been working.Now he is going to marry me, what should I do with my family? What should I do if my 7-year-old son? I would rather die than obey.
Ge Hongce stood up and closed the door. Then he glared at me viciously: "You dare to resist giving birth to a son for me. I will not tell you to live, and you don't want to see your son or husband. You must know that there is nothing I can't do on the land of Cangshan, and there is nothing I can't get from women."
For the safety of my son and husband, and for the sake of my mother, brother and sister-in-law's family not being plotted, in July 1996, I followed Ge Hongce to the place he arranged in advance, the home of Zhang, a friend of Ge Hongce in Yanshan County, Hebei Province, and he gave me a pseudonym Liu Ying. After settling me, he told Zhang: He has divorced and has made a private lifelong appointment with me and is preparing to settle down here. He also asked them to help buy a house and entrust me to them first. He went back and resigned and then came to Hebei to settle down. After Ge Hongce returned to Moshan Town, he told everyone that I was missing and that I was abducted by human traffickers at the bus station. The purpose of his doing this was to take advantage of the time caused by this false appearance, and without anyone knowing that he had a son for him in Hebei.
This is my son. If you dare to have an abortion, I will kill your whole family
in Hebei. I cry all day long. More than two months have passed, and Ge Hongce has visited Hebei three times in total. On the evening of September 27, 1996, Ge Hongce hurried to Zhang's house, leaving me with 200 yuan for me to take the train back tomorrow, and asked me with concern when I would have my period. I said that just after I passed, he looked dark and said, "I haven't gotten pregnant yet?" Then he left.
After I disappeared from Moshan Town, people have been talking about it, sure that my disappearance was planned by Ge Hongce. So, a report letter reflecting his economic and work style was sent to the relevant units, and the relevant units quickly sent an investigation team to Moshan Town for investigation... After I returned to Moshan Town, Ge Hongce "sent" the investigation team away. He said proudly: If you want to mess with me on my territory, you will be brave enough to kill me! "
I returned home nervously. My husband said to me coldly, "Let's get a divorce." "I was speechless and hugged my son and cried loudly. I knew that this day would come sooner or later. The night before breaking up with me, my husband burst into tears: "Liu Xia, I really don't want to leave you, but I am a man..." After the divorce of
, my son awarded the husband. My only bet at that time was to marry Ge Hongce. He took out his divorce certificate with his wife (later confirmed to be fake) and showed me. In the next 20 days, he threatened me every day to ask me to get pregnant earlier.
With Ge Hongce's "work", I got pregnant. I threatened him, if you don't get a marriage certificate with me, I will abort the child. Ge Hongce suddenly slapped me, and I suddenly had a bleeding mouth and nose. He grabbed my collar with both hands and roared at the top of his lungs: "Do you dare? This is my son! If you have an abortion, I will kill your whole family and I will do whatever I say. "
I rushed out of Ge Hongce's office desperately. He chased after him and said sternly: "From tomorrow, don't go to work anymore. Get ready, I'll send you to Tai'an . I want you to fulfill your mission of success in the Ge family! My son is called 'Jiangshan'! "
10 days later, I was taken by Ge Hongce to a friend named Wang in Tai'an. In order to avoid others' discovery, Ge Hongce did not allow me to go out. During the day, I had to buy it after dark. I often stayed up all night, was extremely scared, and was almost on the verge of collapse. When I was 6 months pregnant, Ge Hongce came and asked an acquaintance to take me to the hospital for gender identification. When the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant with a son, he shouted in vain: "My son, my country! "The sky is endless, I am..."
The more than a month before giving birth was a fire season, and the small bungalow was like a fire pit. Ge Hongce did not allow me to open the doors and windows, for fear that the local family planning department would find out and all his previous efforts were wasted. There were a few times I really couldn't stand it, so I went out for a walk during the lunch break. When Ge Hongce learned about it, he drove to chase me and cursed me, and threatened that once I was captured by the family planning department, he would punish our whole family. He said that the lives of more than a dozen people in my family were not as valuable as his unborn son.
August 6, 1997, after a strong knife pain, a little life that should not have been born came to the world. In order to cover up, Ge Hongce asked me and Jiangshan to change places to live: his sister, his mother and friends in Yanshan, and Juxian. I spent my confinement period in a nervous and hiding from Tibet.
took away the country, the bully abandoned his official position and stole his family for fear of crime and hid
One day in late September 1997, three women suddenly broke into the hut where I lived, claiming to be Ge Hongce's wife and daughter. One of the daughters pointed at Jiangshan and shouted sternly: "Why don't you strangle this bastard to death!" They scolded and beat him. I begged hard and tried my best to dodge... This happened several times since then. I begged Ge Hongce to let me go, but he ignored me.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1998, Ge Hongce tried to convince her wife to let Jiangshan and me gain "legal" status in his family, but failed. The next night, Ge Hongce's wife came to me and stuffed 2,000 yuan to me and said, "This child is the root of the Ge family. You keep the country. This money is the pregnancy fee he asked me to give you. You can leave here now!" I burst into tears and threw the money over. After she said that, she snatched the child in my arms...
The facts in front of me disappointed me with Ge Hongce, and I decided to break up with Ge Hongce. However, when Ge Hongce saw that I was about to leave him, he immediately turned his back: "If you dare to break off relations with me, I will first attack your mother and your brother, and then kill your eldest son!" I was frightened when I heard this.
After the Spring Festival in 1998, Ge Hongce was transferred to Cangshan County to work. The day after he took office, he called me to his office and asked me to hand over the child to his wife for raising.遭到我的拒绝。 Since then, my mother, brother and Jiangshan, rented a private house in the county town. Then I heard that Ge Hongce had other women and was no longer so harsh on me. I teach classes in a private school and support the country with peace of mind.
2000 10th day of the lunar calendar at around 9 pm, three strangers asked me about my home and claimed that I was engaged in family planning. They snatched the country from my mother's arms at a very fast speed. I chased out of the gate and found that they were missing, and I collapsed to the ground.
I called Ge Hongce angrily, but I couldn’t get through at home, office, and mobile phone. I ran all over his relatives' homes in the suburbs of the city to find the country. They said to me all the words: "I don't know." In desperation, I reported the case. The police officers searched overnight, and at about 11 o'clock in the evening, they handed the country to me.我流着泪要求他们处理此事，他们说，我们只管救回孩子，其他的纠纷应由法院来管。
The next day, when I was about to make a banner to give to the kind-hearted person who rescued Xiao Jiangshan, several family planning staff came to my home and locked me up in Family Planning Commission .这又是葛洪策玩的花样。 But he didn't expect that he wanted to force me to hand over the country in the name of family planning, but I explained the ins and outs of this child truthfully. After Ge Hongce received this news, he came to me in anger at 3 a.m. the next day and said, "You must change your confession to me immediately and say that Jiangshan is adopted. Otherwise, you will not only continue to detain you, and be fined 60,000 yuan, but you will also have to go to the hospital for ligation immediately!" I was forced to do so.
When I got home, I couldn't help but be stunned: my family was smashed into chaos by the Ge family. My mother and I hugged our heads and cried, and decided to leave the place with Jiangshan in our arms. From then on, we began the miserable days of wandering and hiding from all over the world.
Ge Hongce, who was angry and embarrassed because he did not achieve his goal, sent a group of people led by his son-in-law to look for me everywhere, and went to my brother's house every day to threaten and insult their family.
我不得不返回县城。 Ge Hongce also sent someone to do my job and asked me to agree to register for marriage with him.我一时毫无主意。 On April 20, 2000, under pressure, Ge Hongce and I completed the marriage procedures. After completing the procedures, he quickly put his marriage certificate in the bag he carried with him without asking me to take a look.
On May 25, 2000, relevant units formally implemented quarantine and review of Ge Hongce. I accepted their suggestions and took my mother and Jiangshan to my hometown to take my mother and Jiangshan away from the county town that afternoon.
At 5 a.m. the next day, Ge Hongce broke the window and escaped while the staff was not paying attention. After finding me, he forced me to escape with him.见我不从，便强行抱起江山就走。
We came to our mother's house in the countryside and lived in an old house. The gate was locked all day long and the food and drink were handed over by people from the wall. During the half month of living together in the countryside, Ge Hongce and I were living together day and night, he was like a different person, treating me unprecedentedly and trying his best to please me. My gloomy heart has felt a little warmth. Thinking that he and I were already a legal couple, I couldn't stand his repeated requests, and took Jiangshan and came to Xuzhou with him, and moved into a room on the tenth floor of Xuzhou Xiyuan Hotel.
Here, our family of three looks particularly happy. One day, it was already past 8 o'clock after dinner. Seeing that Jiangshan was asleep, I asked Ge Hongce to take good care of him and I took the time to go downstairs of the hotel to get a haircut. About an hour later, I returned to the room and disappeared from Ge Hongce and his son. I looked for them everywhere and the waiter told me that he had left with his baby in his luggage. I ran to the train station and bus station like crazy, intercepted taxis and called "110"... However, all the calls that had been running around all night were in vain, and Ge Hongce disappeared without a trace.
我只身一人返回苍山县。 Two days later, someone sent me a message asking me to call Ge Hongce for his cell phone immediately. This time, the phone ran through as soon as I called, and Ge Hongce's gloating voice came from the other end: "Liu Xia, I have said that hard work pays off!" I angrily scolded him as a liar. He said shamelessly: "I don't talk sweetly or cheat, can my son get it? Who will inherit the great cause of the Ge family? Let me tell you the truth, the divorce certificate is fake, and the marriage certificate is fake!" I strongly asked to see the child, and Ge Hongce sneered: "Hmph, do you want to see my son? Let's talk about it in 50 years!" He hung up the phone.
我号啕大哭。 I no longer had any fantasies and came to the relevant departments to take the initiative to tell everything about Ge Hongce and me. They attached great importance to it and immediately made a decision to remove all his posts.
edited the postscript
Many local people know that Ge Hongce is now guilty of being fugitive. Ge Hongce's idea of favoring boys over girls was too serious. In order to give birth to a son, she gave birth to three daughters in succession. In 1985, he had a divorce due to this incident and signed an divorce agreement . As a local leader, Ge Hongce not only could not set an example and strictly discipline himself, but instead violated the law and discipline, rampantly ran the countryside, and harmed the people, becoming a rampant "local emperor" and "village tyrant". He not only lost morally and his personality, but also his political decline.威逼他人非婚生子、不可一世的疯狂霸气，透过葛洪策这一典型，我们更加感到当下倡导的“扫黑除恶”行动是何等的必要和重要。葛洪策负罪潜逃。
In addition, I feel deeply sympathetic to Liu Xia’s experience, and I also feel that there are many lessons worth remembering. Although she had no choice but to change her life and cause misfortune to fate under the force of the "domineering secretary", on the other hand, her weaknesses and personality from the depths of human nature also changed her. The dependence and submission to power that seeps out of her subconscious mind casts a humiliating and temporary tragedy in her fate, leading to the tragedy of eventually relying on Ge Hongce and his power. This is the consequence of the dual psychology of weakness and dependence, and it is also undeniable that there is a certain catalyzed by selfish desires. This multiple effect led to her final outcome of becoming a tragic character.
Liu Xia’s fate makes us reflect deeply: only by self-esteem and self-reliance, loyalty to the family, adhere to an independent personality, and not forbidden by any selfish desires and temptations can we finally grasp our own destiny. To save yourself, you can only rely on taking up the weapons of the law to fight against the coercion of power, get out of the predicament and be reborn. Otherwise, you can only continue the tragedy of and .
