A talented and versatile artist could have had a bright future, but unfortunately his reputation was too strong and he was jealous of others. He was eventually framed and his reputation for his business for many years was destroyed, and his family was also implicated. After being released from prison, he spent many years finally finding the person who framed him back then. Only then did he realize that the victim was more than himself.
In the 1980s, due to the adjustment of national policies, economic recovery, people's living standards have improved, and they have begun to have new demands for spiritual aspects. Some literati, scholars, and artists have also had the opportunity to display their talents and have become the objects of pursuit and worship. Middle-level cadres working in the Cultural Center of Wuwei City, Gansu Province, Pei Shutang is such a person.
Because of family reasons, Pei Shutang has been playing a variety of instruments since childhood, has an excellent voice, and can also write poetry and music. He is the backbone of the cultural center. He must participate in any performances in the city. Although he was transferred to the Cultural Center in 1981, he was a scarce "talented man". His position has improved rapidly within a few years, and it is possible that he will become a director in less than a few years.
It may be that his development momentum is too strong, which makes some people feel that their position is under threat, and an accidental incident made the vicious villain seize the opportunity. In August 1986, a young girl named Liu Jianping asked someone to find Pei Shutang. She turned out to be a favorite and wanted Teacher Pei to give her some advice on her shortcomings.
Pei Shutang met Liu Jianping for fear of his face and asked her to sing a few sentences on the spot. Although Liu Jianping was just a female factory worker, her voice was pure and her innate conditions were very good, with only a few flaws. Pei Shutang felt that this was a good seedling. He was so proud that he agreed to give some advice and help her correct her accent. It happened that afternoon that day, Pei Shutang asked Liu Jianping to come to her office and tutor her separately.
One taught seriously and the other learned carefully. Before he knew it, time passed quickly. When Pei Shutang felt a little hungry, it was seven o'clock when he looked at the watch. He said to Liu Jianping, "It's getting late now, so let's get here today. I'll have time in two days. I'll set a time for others to notify you." The two of them discussed and walked out of the office.
As soon as they walked out the door, a young man came towards him. The young man was anxious. When he saw Liu Jianping and Pei Shutang walking together, he asked, "Liu Jianping, who is this man? You guys are tightly pulled the curtains, what are you doing inside?"
it turned out that this person was Liu Jianping's fiancé Cao Wuan. The two had dated that night, but Liu Jianping learned too seriously and forgot and didn't know his fiancé in advance. Cao Wuan waited for most of the day but didn't see anyone coming, so he looked for people everywhere. Finally, he found the cultural center. As soon as he walked to Pei Shutang's office, the two of them happened to come out laughing. Cao Wuan was originally anxious, but he was even more unhappy when he saw that the office window was blocked tightly, so he started to shout without any hesitation.
The staff around the office who had not left yet came out to see when they heard the shouts. Everyone knew what was going on, so they explained to the young man. Pei Shutang, who did not do anything wrong, also pulled Cao Wu'an to the office, pointed to the curtains and said, "Look, since I entered this office to work, the curtains have been nailed to the windows, not that I pulled them on purpose. Also, you can't believe me, but you can't believe your lover. In public, how can your fiancée be a human being in the future?"
Seeing these, after listening to everyone's explanation, Cao Wuan knew that he had misunderstood. Seeing that Liu Jianping ran away crying, he rushed out to chase people. The next day, Cao Wuan came to Pei Shutang to apologize, but unfortunately Pei Shutang didn't come to work today. However, Cao Wuan specifically contacted two directors and deputy directors of the Cultural Center to talk about this. That afternoon, Pei Shutang returned to his workplace and heard about it, thinking that the matter had arisen due to a misunderstanding. Since it was solved, it was nothing. A few days later, he almost forgot about the storm.
Unexpectedly, just one week later, several policemen walked into the cultural center and arrested Pei Shutang, who was attending the meeting on the same day, on the grounds that it was suspected of raping a woman, which made Pei Shutang confused. I thought it must be the police who made the mistake, but when I arrived at the Public Security Bureau, I realized that it was Liu Jianping who sued him and raped him.
Pei Shutang repeatedly explained at the police station that he had not done this at all, but on the afternoon of August 5, he and Liu Jianping were the only ones in the entire office, and no third person had testified to him. When he saw Liu Jianping, the other party insisted that Pei Shutang insulted him, and her fiancé Cao Wuan also said that he saw his fiancée walking out with tears on his face. Pei Shutang was really unreasonable at this time, and Pei Shutang was eventually sentenced to 7 years in prison for rape.
After being imprisoned, although he loved to know his wife deeply and believed that her husband was wronged, in order not to affect his wife and children's lives, Pei Shutang took the initiative to file for divorce. In prison, Pei Shutang was soon appointed as a cultural instructor by the prison for his talent. Every time the prison party held a party and played the role, Pei Shutang also performed on stage. Because of his excellent performance, the prison party proposed to reduce his sentence.
But in Pei Shutang's view, accepting a commutation of sentence means admitting that he has really done a sin, so he rejected the good intentions of the prison party. He refused such "good intentions" six times until he was released from prison after being sentenced in 1993. Although they are all undergoing transformation and re-becoming a new person, the environment Pei Shutang faces at this time may not be as good as in prison.
At this time, he had no job, no income, and even had no place to live. Their family lived in the dormitory of the Cultural Center, and as soon as he was imprisoned, he took back the house. His wife did not want to be disturbed by life. After divorced Pei Shutang, she moved to another place with her children. What is even more embarrassing is that although seven years have passed, Pei Shutang was too famous back then. Many people still know him now and know that he has committed a crime.
Walking on the street, people are often pointed at, and no unit even hires Pei Shutang. Even if some bosses don’t know for the time being, they will know Pei Shutang’s past over time, and finally fired him. If it weren't for the fact that some old friends believed in his innocentness, they not only arranged a residence for Pei Shutang, but also helped him through those difficult days in life.
For life, Pei Shutang abandoned his once proud talent and put down his figure. As long as he could make money, he would do all kinds of work. He even worked as a porter. Later, when he got old, he ran to a restaurant to work. The one who caused a major change in his life was Liu Jianping, who had only met her one-on-one relationship. Pei Shutang had always wanted to find her and ask why she wanted to harm her back then.
Over the years, as long as he saved some money, he would look for news about Liu Jianping everywhere. Many Pei Shutang's students firmly believe in the teacher's character and helped him find out where Liu Jianping went? Hard work pays off. Years of unwillingness to give up finally came true. In 2000, a parent of a student told him that someone wanted to see you was Liu Jianping you were looking for.
Finally met the person who framed him. The night before meeting, Pei Shutang didn't fall asleep almost the whole night, not sure whether it was excitement or angry or sad. After the two met the next day, Liu Jianping knelt on the ground with a thud and cried to Pei Shutang, "Teacher Pei, I'm sorry for you, I wronged you back then." Pei Shutang imagined many scenes of meeting the two, but he didn't expect it to be like this. For a moment, he didn't know what he was going to say.
Then Liu Jianping told him what happened back then. It turned out that Pei Shutang not only had an upright character, but also had a straightforward personality, which made some villains dislike him. Especially since Pei Shutang entered the Cultural Center, his reputation has become increasingly famous and has a rapid development momentum. The person in charge of the Cultural Center was afraid that his position would be replaced and he always wanted to find an opportunity to mess with him.
Unexpectedly, the next day when Cao Wuan went to the leader of the Cultural Center to explain, they thought it was an opportunity, so they gathered together Cao Wuan asked Liu Jianping to frame Pei Shutang, and when the matter was done, he transferred him to the Cultural Center and became a formal worker.Cao Wuan was moved and kept persuading Liu Jianping for a few days when he went back, and even beat and scolded her. In the end, Liu Jianping was afraid of being beaten, so she agreed, which happened later. After the incident of
, Liu Jianping broke up with Cao Wuan because she couldn't get over the conscience, but she didn't dare to tell the truth. Over the years, she has been living in self-blame and often woke up from nightmares from her sleep because she dreamed that she was arrested by the police for slandering someone. When Pei Shutang heard this, he realized that he was not the only victim of this incident.
And now that Liu Jianping tells the truth about this matter, she can help him clear himself. But Pei Shutang's reaffirmation path was not easy, but he was willing to wait until February 2009, and finally waited for the retrial of the case by Gansu Higher People's Court . In January 2011, Pei Shutang finally waited for the final ruling, proclaiming that he was innocent, and at the same time received a state compensation and resumed public office. From now on, he can receive a pension of more than 2,000 yuan a month.
What happened to those who framed him back then? Liu Jianping, who has been helping Pei Shutang retrieve the case, has provided evidence, and because she has obtained Pei Shutang's understanding, and she was also coerced back then, she was finally not investigated. Cao Wuan has never found anyone, Pei Shutang chose to give up the investigation, and the other people have passed away long ago.
summary, 25 years of waiting and 25 years of expectation, Pei Shutang finally waited for that day of brightness. Although there were reputation and treatment, the impact of this incident on his life was too great, and this could not be saved no matter what. The key figure that made Pei Shutang clear was Liu Jianping, which shows that she is still a person with a positive attitude and hopes that everyone can face their own mistakes, let alone do stupid things that harm others and themselves.
