Robins will only sing to people, they will not waste the garden, they will not nest in the corn ear warehouse, they will not do anything bad, they will only sing to us to the fullest. So, killing a mockingbird is a crime. ”
In The Book To Kill a Mockingbird, the one that impressed me the most was the "monster" Radley. He is the robin itself. As a teenager, Radley was unladylike, misguided, went to juvenile court, and was then held at home. Radley has never appeared in public since.
For 15 years, no one had ever seen what he looked like. There were all kinds of rumors about him in the town, he was ugly, he was stigmatized, and children ran by his door with their breaths. The brother and sister were curious and tried to lure him out many times, but in the end they did not succeed. Radley is even more mysterious in everyone's mind.
Three years later, the town caught fire, and the adults were too busy putting out the fires to take care of the children. It was the "monster" Radley who guarded them all night. Watch them silently and put on blankets to keep them warm. Only then did the siblings know that Radley was not an evil man.
Even more surprising was the discovery that Radley had placed gifts for them in a tree hole. This is still a relatively warm ending, but how many people who are misinterpreted in reality end up with a tragic ending. All his life he lived in the blank eyes and spit of others.
I was born in a small southern frontier town. Like thousands of ordinary towns, there is nothing out of the ordinary. But the reason I wrote it is that our town also has a Radley.
I couldn't figure out what his name was, but everyone called him Zhou Wuxian. Fatherless and motherless, he was a mute, born with a hand and foot disability (fingers are shrunken, feet are cripples). Walking trembling.
I remember him forever wearing a cheap suit covered with stains, rummaging through various garbage heaps for parts that could be recycled. Yes, picking up garbage is his main source of income, and occasionally he will help the pig killers to make a small income.
Note: The picture is from the headline gallery and is not the real Zhou Unspoken
He is the negative teaching material in the mouth of parents, when children are disobedient, some parents will say: "You are not good at studying, growing up is like Zhou Buyan..." Words such as these will fill the town every three to five minutes.
The children did not understand, hearing these words, think that Zhou Buyun is probably a naughty child since childhood. On the way home from school, the kind of well-behaved child who saw Zhou Without saying a word was afraid to go away. What about the kind of mischievous child who spits at him, makes a grimace, throws stones. While doing these actions, he did not forget to shout: "Zhou does not say anything, pick up the garbage..." And then laughed and scattered.
This farce would be staged every day, and he would come out without any response, but he could see the lonely, sad look on his face. It was as if the expression was engraved on his face. So I've never seen him laugh.
At the same time as my elementary school career ended, Zhou Buxian also disappeared, quietly. Life was the same as ever, except that there was one less scavenger on the way out of school. I don't know if he died or if he wandered far away. In short, he disappeared with my childhood.
From beginning to end, Zhou Buyan had never done a bad thing, nor had he ever fought back against anyone who hurt him. People don't know where his malice comes from?
Later, there was a rumor that he was taken home by his brother, and I hoped that was the real ending.
Don't bother with the "monster" Radley (the robin), his life itself is miserable. Each time he could only heal his wounds in the dark of night, and then accept the ridicule of a new day.
