In the early years, when I saw people sending their children to places to quit their addiction, I always thought that this kind of thing was too exaggerated.
How can an online game full of violence, full of excitement, full of desire to win or lose be addictive to people? But when I saw Wang Gang's story, I couldn't help but start to identify with the parents' approach.
"Don't sell my game account", no one thought that this was a person's last words.
Wang Gang, 31, was pale and lying dying in his mother's arms. When his life was about to dissipate, he said such a sentence to his mother.
The emergence of online games was originally intended to provide a moment of relaxation and pleasure after people's work, but it turned out that it had evolved to this day, but it had become a murderous weapon.
What happened to Wang Gang? How did he become obsessed with online games to such an extent? Let's get closer to the life of Wang Gang, a person who is "debauched".
Wang Gang grew up in a privileged family, and his parents were people's teachers. When Wang Gang was not yet born, his father was full of expectations for this child who had not yet been born, and gave him a good life plan early.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Gang fell to the ground, his parents imperceptibly conveyed the correct outlook on life and values in their son's daily education. Coupled with his father's strict requirements, his son Wang Gang has achieved excellent results since he was a child. Whether in kindergarten or even in primary school, Wang Gang's performance has made everyone very satisfied, and he has always been a child in the eyes of many parents.
After Wang Gang grew older and older, in order to facilitate the care of her son, Wang Gang's mother quit her job as a teacher and concentrated on her husband and son at home. Wang Gang's father, Mr. Wang, has always stuck to his education post, and while teaching and educating people, he did not forget to tutor his son Wang Gang with homework.
Under the hard-working companionship and earnest education of his parents, Wang Gang entered a good local junior high school with excellent results. Wang Gang, who is getting better and better at learning, makes his parents feel relieved.
With such a child with excellent grades, a well-behaved personality and a sensible personality, Wang Gang's parents gradually relaxed their discipline of their son Wang Gang.
Relying on the good foundation laid by junior high school and primary school, Wang Gang was once again admitted to a local key high school with excellent results of first and second.
At every family gathering, Wang Gang will become the focus of the doll group in the party. All relatives and friends will exaggerate Wang Gang's good learning, and let his parents worry about it, and ask Wang Gang's parents for ways to educate their children. This made Wang Gang and his family feel extremely happy and proud.
Wang Gang's parents and parents were well aware of the impact of knowledge on a person's life from the very beginning, because the two of them only went out of the mountain village and into the city by reading books, and had such a beautiful life as they are now.
Therefore, after his son successfully entered the high school life, Wang Gang's father and mother played the spirit of two points to supervise Wang Gang's study.
"The gaokao is the first important watershed in life, and we don't want our children to be knocked off the horse at the first hurdle."
However, in the two years of high school and high school, Wang Gang's performance was very good. No matter how heavy the study task is, no matter how difficult the test questions are, Wang Gang can maintain the top five in the class every time. This also made Wang Gang's parents feel very relieved.
I thought that three years of high school life would be spent in such a calm way, but one day, a phone call from the class teacher shattered the fantasy of Wang Gang's parents.
"Hello Mr. Wang, I am the high school class teacher of your child Wang Gang. According to my observation, Wang Gang has skipped class more than four times this week because he went to an Internet café to play games, and this problem is very serious. So I think you as parents can pay attention to it. Take a trip to the school and we'll discuss a solution together. ”
The words "skipping class, playing games in Internet cafes" stabbed Wang Gang's father's heart hard. For so many years, Wang Gang was a well-behaved and sensible, serious and studious good boy, but suddenly became a bad student with bad behavior in the mouth of the class teacher, which made Mr. Wang feel very angry.
He immediately came to the school, and according to the information provided by the class teacher and classmates, he found his son Wang Gang, who was playing a game in a network café near the school.
Mr. Wang pulled off the headphones he was wearing on his son's head and angrily pulled Wang Gang out of his Chair in the Internet café. Under a heart-wrenching education, Wang Gang confessed to his father, he apologized to his father, he should not go to the Internet café to play games, and also swore to his father that this was the last time and would never do it again.
Mr. Wang looked at his son with a sincere look in front of him, his heart softened, and he decided to believe Wang Gang once. It turns out that Wang Gang did indeed successfully quit internet addiction as he said, he put his mind on learning, and relied on his clever brain and excellent thinking ability to quickly make up for the courses that fell behind.
Finally, under the ardent expectations of his parents, Wang Gang successfully admitted to the university of Wuhan Institute of Chemical Technology, although it is not a very good school, but Wang Gang's parents still expressed great satisfaction.
The four years of college life kicked off vigorously in Wang Gang's full of expectations. His parents personally sent Wang Gang to school, settled in, and told him that in college, a person must study hard, complete his studies conscientiously, and seek a way out for his future hard work in society.
At the beginning, Wang Gang was also full of confidence and high morale. He is determined not to play online games anymore, but to study his studies with all his heart and mind to lay a good foundation for his future entry into society.
However, as people jokingly said, "Generally do not easily make a flag", Wang Gang was quickly punched in the face by reality.
When he first entered the university life, he was still able to insist on arriving in the classroom on time every day and seriously accept the teacher's knowledge.
However, it didn't take long for Wang Gang to be influenced by his roommate. The roommate skips class, he also skips class, the roommate plays games, he also plays games, the roommate goes to class to sleep, he also sleeps with class.
With a clap of the mouse and a sound of the keyboard, Wang Gang once again fell into the whirlpool of online games. At night, I sneaked out of the dormitory building to play games in the Internet café, and dozed off during the day. In this state, Wang Gang spent four years of his college life.
However, many absences, many skipping classes, and several failed grades led to Wang Gang's final failure to conduct a graduation defense, and he did not successfully get his own graduation certificate, but only obtained a certificate of resignation with the help of the instructor.
In the summer of 2001, Wang Gang, who was holding a certificate, returned to his hometown in the heat. After a month at home, Wang Gang suddenly told his parents that he wanted to go to Wuhan to find a job and work hard for his future.
Wang Gang's parents were very relieved to hear their son's decision. They feel that when their son grows up and can make changes for his future, that's a good outcome.
So they agreed to Wang Gang's request and happily sent Wang Gang to the train to Wuhan the next day. Wang Gang, who had just arrived in Wuhan, thought that a bright future was beckoning to himself, but he only got a certificate of resignation, and he could not successfully find a suitable job for himself.
Seeing that the money in his pocket was gradually spent, and the work had not yet landed, Wang Gang felt very anxious. Just then, a roommate in his college dormitory contacted Wang Gang. It shows that he is now preparing for graduate school in Wuhan and rents a small house that can be temporarily provided for Wang Gang to live.
The help of the old classmates solved Wang Gang's urgent needs. He was so thankful that he moved into the house rented by his roommate overnight.
Every day during the day, when his roommates went to the library to prepare for the exam, Wang Gang made a living by selling second-hand material books near the school, and at the same time he would go to the nearby Internet café to earn some pocket money by repairing game consoles.
The days go by. In the end, Wang Gang's roommate succeeded in his examination and left the city, and Wang Gang also lost his only place to hide.
Carrying his luggage, he walked blindly on the streets of Wuhan by himself, not knowing where to go. At this time, he regretted that he was addicted to online games in college, failed to study well, did not create life value for himself, and finally ended up like this.
In addition to his grief, he suddenly saw an Internet café on the side of the road, so he had the idea of going inside to relax. But it was this trip that completely plunged Wang Gang's life into endless darkness.
Put on your headphones, grip the mouse, and ring the keyboard. The exciting online game is waving to Wang Gang across the screen, pulling him into the abyss of Internet addiction step by step.
He began playing games in Internet cafes day and night. When he is hungry, he eats instant noodles, and when he is thirsty, he drinks mineral water, and as long as there are no special circumstances, he will not leave his position.
The colorful characters and bright operations make Wang Gang forget his plans for the future, and he is now incapable of thinking about how he will spend his future life, because the joy brought to him by online games has saved his decadent soul.
If at the beginning Wang Gang only used online games as a way to relax and enjoy, Wang Gang in the end has long used this way of relaxation as a means of making money.
This change of thinking originated from an inadvertent operation by Wang Gang.
He succeeds in acquiring a unique weapon while playing the game, but this weapon does not match the hero he uses.
So it changed hands to hang this weapon on the Internet for sale, and it turned out to be just an ordinary weapon, but it could sell for 100 yuan.
This transaction completely opened up a new world for Wang Gang. He began to form a guild on the Internet and served as its president himself.
He takes these brothers of his guild every day and night to ride in online games, exchanging gorgeous operations for those exquisite weapons and putting them on the Internet for sale.
The boss saw that Wang Gang was so obsessed with playing games and had lived in an Internet café for a long time, so he hired Wang Gang to become a staff member of the Internet café.
The money from playing games and selling equipment and the salary of working as an Internet café staff allowEd Wang Gang to sit motionless at the computer every month and earn nearly 1,000 yuan.
Although this meager salary cannot bring Wang Gang a rich and noble life, it can basically solve his daily life needs, which makes Wang Gang very satisfied.
However, the daily and nightly high-intensity physical operation and continuous high mental state caused Wang Gang's physical fitness to become lower and lower, and finally on May 6, 2011, Wang Gang fainted on the seat of the Internet café.
During the period when Wang Gang was playing games and selling equipment, he never took the initiative to contact his parents, and this disappearance was a full decade. When Wang Gang's parents received information about Wang Gang again, it was the news that Wang Gang was sick and hospitalized.
The Wuhan aid station called Wang Gang's parents, saying that their son was now in an extremely dangerous state and hoped that they would rush to the hospital to accompany him.
When Wang Gang's parents arrived in Wuhan overnight, they were notified that Wang Gang's condition was very serious, and now he has been transferred to Daijiashan Hospital.
After careful examination by the doctor, it was diagnosed that Wang Gang was now in the advanced stage of tuberculosis, accompanied by severe meningitis. The long-term loss of the body has caused Wang Gang to be in a state of inability to return to heaven, and the parents are also very distressed to see their son lying on the hospital bed dying.
They couldn't understand why their son, who had been scrappy ten years ago, was now lying in a hospital bed. At the end of his life, Wang Gang snuggled into his mother's warm embrace and said his last words.
"Don't sell my game account."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Gang's 31-year-old life was painted with a terminator.
The deceased is gone, and the living continue to live. Although Wang Gang's parents are very sad about the death of their son, but life will continue, I think they will spend the rest of their lives with an incomparable hatred for online games.
Flowers and greenery are fascinating, and every adult should master a degree when facing anything extremely tempting. A short period of relaxation is responsible for life. Don't give your life to the virtual things on the Internet, or create a better future through your own diligent hands.
