(Original title: The Day Out of Yuzhang Academy)
More than three years later, Zhou Yan still dreams of his days at Yuzhang Academy.
Seven or eight people dressed in Tang costumes pushed Zhou Yan into a dark room of more than ten square meters. Zhou Yan was not convinced and fought with them, but only in vain. He was pinned to the ground and handcuffed with his backhand. Subsequently, his full body was stripped naked.
In Nanchang in late June, the temperature was 40 degrees, there was no air conditioning in the house, it was too dark to judge the day and night, he could only breathe through a small hole for delivering food, and rely on a bucket of water in the toilet to quench his thirst.
He stayed inside for 7 days, and then it was a "concentration camp" style of study years.
Nowadays, many teenagers who "walked through" in Yuzhang Academy have embarked on different paths. But because they had been traumatized physically and mentally, that memory flashed back in their dreams from time to time, causing them to shudder and make them sweat. The volunteers who intervened to help defend their rights were constantly harassed and threatened by the "ghost asking for their lives".
<h1>Teenager who committed suicide by drinking laundry detergent</h1>
Zhou Yan admitted that he was not an excellent child.
He is a post-00s, has depressed tendencies, and has had suicidal thoughts. Because he was temporarily suspended from school and did not want to stay at home, he often went to internet cafes. On June 23, 2016, he and his mother flew from Dalian to Nanchang and went to Lushan for a day and a half. After descending the mountain, his mother put him in a car parked outside the hotel and went to a school. "The car went in and the door closed. As soon as I turned around, my mother was gone. "
Closed for 7 days in the small black house, almost every child who enters Yuzhang Academy is an "appetizer". For 7 days, no one spoke to him. That night, Zhou Yan thought he had fallen into a pyramid scheme. After falling asleep, he thought it was a dream. "When I woke up the next morning, people broke down."
Yuzhang Academy was shaped by the teachers into a small river with a hierarchical system. The two "student principals" appointed by the teacher have the power to record the bad behavior of other students and hold "criticism meetings" every night. The students who were recorded during the day went up one by one to receive punishment, generally on the grounds of "deserting in class", "talking to the opposite sex", and the most serious was "fighting", and they were locked up in a small black room. The bamboo board hit the palm of his hand, at least five times, not capping, "I have seen the most of a classmate who has been beaten 50 times, and I can't stand it anymore." "
This special school, which bears the name of "Guoxue", basically has no scientific curriculum, and even the "Guoxue" textbook is written by Wu Junbao, the "chief of the mountain". (Ancient academies were generally built on the mountain, and the chief lecturer was honored as the "chief of the mountain.") Teachers read the script and forced students to memorize by rote. Every morning at 7 o'clock, all students participate in the "Worship ceremony" in the playground and recite the Analects to a 2-meter-high statue of Confucius in white jade.
But what frightened the students the most were the "three principles and five constants" of the feudal era. "The king is the subject, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife", and the girls also have a special female morality class to teach "Female Yigui". "It's to brainwash you, to tell you that everything is to obey your parents, to make you believe that everything your parents say and do is for your own good." 」
The half-year tuition fee is 36,000 yuan, and the food provided by the school is usually "green pepper fried green pepper", unpeeled potatoes, eggplant with pedicles or seaweed soup, and often undercooked or overcooked. The only pot of soy milk in the morning will be preyed upon by the children of the upper grades.
Because the school built a new school building, the boys also had to act as free coolies. There is no fixed time, and when there is work, it is done, sometimes until the evening, until it is finished. "Move cement, a bag of 200 pounds, put it on your shoulder, carry it to the fourth floor," Zhou Yan is a northeasterner, tall, but he is only 15 years old after all, the cement pressure makes his waist hurt, and he can't sleep at night.
He waited for his mother to come and pick him up. He was afraid to enter the little black room again, and he had always behaved very well, hoping that his mother would be able to see it. Originally, it was agreed to go to school in September, but my mother never came. Every letter written to parents is reviewed, revised, and made available electronically on the web page. To avoid settling accounts after the fact, students can only write good words. At the beginning of September, when Zhou Yan was washing clothes, he was the only one around, "very uncomfortable in his heart", looking at the laundry detergent and disinfectant water next to him, he poured two mouthfuls of laundry detergent. "I want to take a sip and die, or I can't die and be picked up by my mother." Both are ways to escape. After falling to the ground, he spat foam and was taken to the hospital.
During the gastric lavage, he had a lot of blood, and the hospital issued a critical illness notice, but the school teacher signed it on his behalf and did not notify Zhou Yan's parents. Back at school that night, Zhou Yan called his parents and grandmother, the phone was open, and there were three instructors standing next to him, which was downplayed as "accidentally drinking something." "Once I tell the truth, I don't know how the rest of my life will be."
Yuzhang Academy implements "pure military management", in addition to a very small number of teaching teachers, the management of children is a group of "instructors" who have retired from the army in their 20s. A gay instructor fell in love with him. When no one was around, the instructor would lie in bed with him, show him same-sex pornographic videos on his phone, and stroke his back and thighs at the same time.
The instructor and Zhou Yan's parents maintained good communication. Zhou Yan is heterosexual, but he pretends to be good with the instructor, "I was expecting him to let me go out early." Sometimes they lie in bed, listen to music together on the instructor's mobile phone, and chat for the entertainment of boring life. "He knows what's going on in this place, and he thinks it's not good for me to stay here, and he hopes my mother will pick me up soon."
After drinking laundry detergent, Zhou Yan recoiled her esophagus and could not eat anything, but the school did not provide any care. The instructor secretly went outside to buy lotus flour and rushed it to drink for him. "Lotus flour is soft and soft, or sweet, nourishing the stomach, can be eaten as rice."
Parents still perceive that "accidentally drinking something" doesn't seem so simple. When visiting during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mother saw that her son had lost a circle of black weight, so she took him out. To this day, he has not revealed the name of the instructor.
"At that time, my biggest idea was not to retaliate, but to save people." In October 2017, the matter of Yuzhang Academy was exposed, and Zhou Yan also stood up to expose it. "Because of the hatred for this place, after coming out, some people may have exaggerated what they said, and I was more excited at the time. But now that it's been three years, there's no need to exaggerate at all, I can describe that very objectively. "
One of the things he remembers most clearly is that 9-year-old girl Kang Li was beaten. Yuzhang Academy nominally only admits children of junior high school age, but Kang Li is the child of a prisoner recruited by the local procuratorate in cooperation with Yuzhang Academy, and is adopted and supervised by Wu Junbao. "Her parents were either criminals or dead."
One day, Kang Li was sick and did not go to class, and Wu Junbao called her to the office. The two quarreled, and Wu Junbao, furious, dragged Xiao Kangli to the playground and whipped with a dragon whip, "Very fierce, about thirty or forty times, the white tiles on the ground were shattered." Conley let out a "particularly frightening scream" and finally fainted. Wu Junbao asked the students to bring half a cup of salt water to Kang Li to drink, and then asked her to kneel in front of the statue of Confucius on the playground for an afternoon. "She was dehydrated."

It was the hottest time in Nanchang summer, and the teacher and the students danced the "Eight Dances" (an ancient ritual dance) in the canteen "like a god". Zhou Yan saw that scene through the window and heard Xiao Kangli's screams, but everyone around him was indifferent. "It may be affected by the environment and feel that it is normal for students to be beaten. And in that boring and boring day, there is such a thing that happens, but it makes everyone feel interesting and a little excited. Almost everyone is like this. Zhou Yan said, "But now that I think about it, this idea is disgusting." "
<h1>The "Avengers" of young people</h1>
In October 2017, the online article "How many Yang Yongxins are there in China?" It blew up a corner of the iron fence of The Yuzhang Academy, and many students who came out of there stood up to tell their stories and what they saw. However, it was not so much a public trial as it was a secret "self-help movement" organized by a group of young people.
More than 20 volunteers who were originally on the sidelines counted the victimized students, collected evidence, did psychological counseling, and tried to destroy Yuzhang Academy in one fell swoop through legal weapons. In the early stage, several core volunteers had a clear division of labor, some registered victimized students, some maintained QQ and WeChat groups, some collected, compared, and verified information, and some did reassuring work. Zi Mu is the most core one.
She not only reached out to students, collected and organized materials, but also very clearly collected all relevant papers and legal provisions. Because she thinks more thoroughly, she has also published targeted and sharp articles on the Internet many times, and she has become a "nail in the eye" of Wu Junbao and others.
When Yuzhang College enrolled students, it was announced that 3,000 students had been corrected. Lu Ming, Zimu's boyfriend who later participated together, said that the number was exaggerated and may include students from Long Regret School, the predecessor of Yuzhang Academy before 2012.
In the days when Yuzhang College was exposed, the volunteer team could receive more than 100 emails a day, and a large number of victimized students came to talk about it, "so much that we all felt fear." During that time, they slept less than four hours a day. But they soon discovered that some people disguised as victimized students, lawyers and journalists were "undercover" to obtain information, so they immediately used hierarchical screening to verify the identity of the complainants.
As early as November 2017, someone from Yuzhang threatened a reported student, saying that "there are a lot of military resources." Courtesy of respondents
More than three months later, they identified 120 "students who were indeed harmed by Yuzhang Academy" from more than 600 people. Among them, 36 students were willing to testify to the police and the court to pursue the legal responsibility of Yuzhang Academy and Wu Junbao. On January 4, 2018, they handed over evidence of the group to the police.
Lu Ming said there was very clear evidence against the two instructors, and the local police had applied for arrest warrants three times, but the prosecutions all refused on the grounds of "insufficient evidence.". However, this incident has triggered public criticism of the "corrective special training school" in the whole society. On November 7, 2017, Yuzhang College was officially disqualified from running the school. Since then, the case has been in the investigation stage, "one of the criminal police brigade leaders who advocated active case handling was transferred after the end of the year." "
Luo Wei and several parties sued two instructors who had severely punished students, which was dismissed by prosecutors on the grounds that Yuzhang College had "no personal injury consequences" to the students.
With the increase in the exposure of Wu Junbao and others, the mysterious harassment and threats encountered by volunteers have also increased. After being reported by numerous phone calls, Lu Ming could only resign from the game company he worked for. It was not until the boss of the company sent Lu Ming's resignation report and dismissal letter that the other party stopped harassing. But soon, harassing phone calls frequently hit Lu Ming's newly joined startups, "all virtual phones," and in order not to disturb his colleagues, he had to leave his job again.
When she intervened in the Yuzhang incident, Zi Mu was only a student who had just entered college, and her long-term negative emotions and mental pressure made her depressed. She often receives harassment and threat messages, and even school teachers ask them, "Are you involved in any illegal organization or pyramid scheme?" "
In May 2018, Lu Ming went to other places to run errands and noticed that Zimu was depressed. At 9:30 p.m. the next night, he heard the sound of rain on the phone, and Zi Mu said that he was outside and did not want to go back to the dormitory. "She said, it doesn't matter, there's no need, everything is meaningless anyway." Lu Ming immediately asked her roommate to call 110 and 120, and notified the housekeeper aunt before saving Zi Mu from the roof of the teaching building.
That day, Zi Mu took 6 kinds of cold medicines and drank RIO wine, trying to make the kidneys fail and die. The next day, Zi Mu's father rushed to the brain hospital in Nanjing to visit his daughter. After talking with the class teacher, he was extremely angry, demanding that Zi Mu completely withdraw from Yuzhang Academy, not allowing Lu Ming to contact her, and proposing to let his daughter suspend from school. Zi Mu insisted on continuing to go to school, and his father forcibly deleted all the information about Yuzhang Academy and the victims in Zi Mu's mobile phone.
Since then, Zimu has completely bid farewell to this public welfare action, and the entire volunteer team has also suffered heavy losses. "If there had been no Zimu in the beginning, our rights protection behavior would have only been a small fight in their eyes, and it would not be a climate." Lu Ming said.
It's a purely dedicated job, and there is no understanding and approval from parents and school teachers. Lanzhou university student Xiao Yifan's family, relatives, school and even the education department were harassed for half a month, the teacher talked to her, she said that what she did was a righteous public welfare act, but the teacher did not agree, let her agree to the other party's request, away from right and wrong. As a last resort, Xiao Yifan could only compromise. Lu Ming said, "It's a very ordinary sanben school, and she is not a top student, and the school's protective resources cannot be used on her." You know. "
The harassers made requests in three separate times. The first time, Xiao Yifan was asked to quit the volunteer team and close a rights protection website; the second time, Xiao Yifan was asked to write a written review and an apology letter and send it to them, destroy all the information and data collected in his hands, which could not be backed up, and recorded a video to send them; the third time, Xiao Yifan was asked to send them all the contact information and chat records of all the volunteers she knew... With the consent of Lu Ming and others, Xiao Yifan agreed to and implemented all three requests. Only the last time, after providing the volunteer member information to the other party, everyone collectively modified the account.
"Do not support justice, but bow to the forces of darkness." I was surprised at the time and asked Xiao Yifan: Is your school not clean? Lu Ming said that the school regarded them as bad people and thought they were seducing students who had not yet done anything. He once explained to the school, "If we were bad people and doing bad things, I wouldn't have agreed to the first two requests." "However, the school does not want to provoke right and wrong, only wants to calm things down."
"They don't care what the thing itself is, whether it's just or not, they don't think about it. You're the one who breaks it out, and you deal with it yourself. Either the quickest way is for you to drop out of school, leave school, and it doesn't matter to it. Lu Ming said, "This is tantamount to bowing to the evil forces in disguise." "
Even so, in the next two years, the few remaining volunteers accumulated some experience. In 2018, they helped expose the Wuhan New Long March School, nanchang Sunshine School, and a number of illegal special training schools that infringed on the growth of young people in Yiwu, Guizhou and other places in Zhejiang. According to Baidu searches and information provided by victims, they count that there are at least 160 similar illegal special training schools across the country, most of which are concentrated in third- and fourth-tier cities.

Until October this year, Lu Ming and others were harassed and threatened by unknown people. His Weibo account was logged off after being reported by an account, and the QQ numbers of many volunteers mysteriously logged in in a different place. After knowing that the big V "gentle" posted an accusation, Wu Junbao posted a Weibo denial, claiming that he had called the police, and deleted Weibo two days later. Volunteers verified that the picture of the police station accompanied by Wu Junbao used an old picture of a news article from 2015. On October 24, "Gentle" and Lu Ming each received a private message, and the other party sent a picture of "chopping hands" and threatened, "Wu Junbao said this is your end." Zi Mu has committed suicide, and the next one will come to you. But Wu Junbao then posted on Weibo, saying, "The internet triad is marrying." "

<h1>"Revolutionary Love"</h1>
Most of the students who entered Yuzhang Academy were tricked into it by their parents and the school. But Chu Wuyue went in by himself.
Chu Wuyue's family was superior and his appearance was outstanding, so he was subjected to a series of "network violence" in junior high school, often skipping classes, and his grades fell a lot. The girl's heart is difficult to tell her parents, she decided to change schools and change the environment. Because she practiced calligraphy since she was a child, she and her parents took a fancy to Yuzhang Academy from Baidu. Later, the principal Ren Weiqiang helped to transfer her student status and promised to get her junior high school diploma.
At the beginning of 2015, the parents signed a 3-year agreement with Yuzhang College. Because it was voluntary, and his parents continued to stay in Nanchang for two or three days, Chu Wuyue was one of the very few people who had not been locked up in a small black house. But two months later, she tried to cut her wrists and self-harm.
I can't recite the "Ode to the Thanksgiving Meal", the quilt is not folded into squares, the queue is late, the movement is chaotic, there is no raising of the hand, the class speech, the sitting posture is not improper... Everywhere there are reasons to beat the ruler. Wu Junbao also encouraged the students to expose each other and expose others, so that they could reduce their punishment at night.
The female morality class teaches the "Female Etiquette Rules", "at home from the father, married from the husband, the husband dies from the son", "under the stick out of filial piety", no one has expressed objections, "everyone has been brainwashed, all think these are very normal." Otherwise, they will be intimidated or beaten very badly. "But these things are difficult to really penetrate people's hearts," everyone is left ear in the right ear out, what he said is what is good. "
On that day, the school rarely opened meat, ate a meal of fish, and as a result, all the students suffered from food poisoning and vomited and diarrhea. The school did not treat the students, but let them drink salt water all day. Chu Wuyue was dissatisfied, smashed the ceramic cup, and cut his wrist with fragments, but fortunately did not cut the artery. Some students reported the incident to the teacher, and the next night, Chu Wuyue was beaten 20 times with a dragon whip.
Chu Wuyue insisted that the dragon whip at that time was a thin steel bar, and "there will be a very crisp sound of steel bars when it falls on the ground." Principal Ren Weiqiang asked three or four instructors to hold Chu Wuyue's limbs, and all 40 girls watched, and he personally whipped. "The most perverted thing is that at the beginning he saw me holding back and didn't say a word, and he hit harder; when I said, 'Wait a minute,' he was heavier again." With each stroke, the fiery pain made her tremble and finally she almost collapsed.
After beating the dragon whip this time, Chu Wuyue was thrown into the small black house and locked up for 7 days. Her ass was so bruised that she couldn't sit or take a shower. But Chu Wuyue had a stubborn personality and never cried. That night, she tried to kill herself again, "I thought about hitting the wall, I thought about holding my breath, and finally I was going to bite my tongue, but it hurt too much, so I gave up." "
Within a few months, she was talking back for a small matter and the female class teacher who was fifty or sixty years old, and the class teacher was scolded and cried. This time, she was whipped 10 more times, followed by another 7 days of small black houses.
What was different was that Chu Wuyue was psychologically strong enough, and twice the Dragon Whip and the Little Black House, she did not learn any "lessons". "I don't think I'm a bad student. I think this is a very normal thing in adolescence. I thought there was nothing wrong with me. "But every student who dares to struggle and resist is in danger."
When a girl from Jiangsu came in on the first day, she was carried in by several instructors, and she kicked one of the instructors underneath. That night, she tried to kill herself with air conditioning parts, and was then dragged out to receive a dragon whip, but she kicked the instructor again on the way. "Then she was pressed to the ground by the instructor and beaten, hands, elbows, knees, chins, all of them bleeding, blood on the ground," Chu Wuyue remembered, this girl fiercely resisted, swearing, "my old man has never beaten me, why did you beat me."
Wu Junbao was furious and hit her personally, "Her head was pressed to the ground, and as soon as she lifted it, she was pressed down and slammed into the ground." Wu Junbao beat her with a dragon whip, "Probably forty or fifty times, while hitting her mouth and reading some words in pieces." According to the rules, after the beating, the students must bow to the teacher and say, "Thank you for the teacher's teachings." Subsequently, she was imprisoned in a small black room.
After that time, the girl became obedient. "In fact, the students inside are either subdued or pretended, and no one really realizes their mistakes." Chu Wuyue said, "Loading, one is not to be beaten, and the other is to get out as soon as possible." "
In Yuzhang College, boys and girls follow the ancient precept of "granting and receiving no affection", and the boundaries between boys' and girls' schools are strict, and close relationships will be severely punished. However, the incidents and rumors of "sexual assault" have risen one after another. A girl who later returned to the northeast told Zhou Yan that she was peeked at by a male teacher while changing clothes, and she went out to shout, but instead she was framed by the teacher, saying that she "looks like this, which teacher will look at you?" Then she was beaten.
A girl was friendly with the male instructor and left a strawberry mark on her neck. Later, the instructor was fired, and the girl was also beaten 15 times, "I don't understand why she was beaten." "
Under high pressure, Chu Wuyue still dodged the surveillance gaze and fell in love with a boy. Once she went back to Zhejiang to apply for an ID card, her boyfriend secretly ran to the office to send her a QQ message and was found, not only beaten, but also found 32 notes in the big search.
In July 2016, taking the opportunity of the exam, Chu Wuyue met his parents, "I said I wanted to study well", which allowed me to leave Yuzhang Academy and return to Zhejiang. Her sleep was completely "paralyzed", sometimes she could not fall asleep until dawn, and after falling asleep, she had nightmares, "ghost press", "I would dream that they had arrested me, dreamed of those ugly faces inside, or Wu Junbao scolded me again." "
The state lasted two or three years, and she was diagnosed with "severe depression" and "severe mania" and "four days a week when she was thinking about dying." I used to sit outside the window sill and get pulled in by my parents. "
After leaving Yuzhang Academy, her relationship with her boyfriend was interrupted. This year, an opportunity to exchange rights, they resumed their romantic relationship. "After all, I can't share what I experienced with others, and now there is such a person who can understand me." Chu Wuyue said, "Back then, he was just a spiritual pillar, that was revolutionary love and revolutionary friendship in prison; now it is normal human love." "
<h1>"That same-sex first love, it's ridiculous."</h1>
Jiangsu girl Li Xintong slept on the table and woke up separated from her parents. In 2015, as soon as she entered the little black room, the instructor began to criticize her homosexuality. "He said I had a problem and wanted to correct me. I said my parents can't control me, why do you care about me. As an "emerging human being", Li Xintong does not feel that there is anything wrong or abnormal about liking the same sex.
But the teacher targeted her everywhere, forcing her to wear a skirt, and if she didn't wear it, she would be disciplined. Once you are too close to a girl, you will be whipped by the dragon. In the Spring Festival of 2015, the school specially opened a "zero-breaking class" for students with serious problems, and did high-intensity corporal punishment training every day. Lying on his stomach, his hands propped on the gravel ground for 20 minutes, each person did more than 100 squats, as well as frog jumping, running, duck steps, and Instructor Zhang was behind him with a small whip to supervise.
The martial arts teacher who teaches calligraphy prefers sons to daughters. He did not understand music, and when singing school songs, girls were not as loud as boys, he accused girls of being "inferior to boys", and punished them for standing in front of the statue of Confucius in the playground to sing during meals.
Li Xintong has been dressed as a "tomboy" since childhood. At the New Year's Party, a teacher set up a separate program for her and another gay girl to wear wigs to perform on stage. She refused, and the teacher threatened: "If you are like this, I will let your parents never come to pick you up." Li Xintong said, "I feel like a clown. "
Yuzhang Academy went to great lengths to correct their sexual orientation, but did not succeed. Children after 00, who are open to homosexuality, will not be easily changed. "There's no impact at all. In fact, to be sent in, it is all innate. If you don't really only like the same sex, you will have changed a long time ago. Li Xintong said that even if sometimes they behave very obediently, they are just going out early, and their hearts have not really changed. On the contrary, the bad atmosphere formed by the children of the three religions and nine streams gathered together will also pollute the original "good children".
"There were a lot of drug addicts and fights in it. But Yuzhang Academy's banner is both 'Guoxue' and juvenile discipline, and I saw that some children had very good grades, very well-behaved, and had no bad habits, but inside, other children were bragging and smoking, and he also learned to smoke. "
In May 2016, Li Xintong stopped pretending and gave up correction, "I made a look to my parents: if you don't take me out, I will continue to be mischievous, and you can't kill me, right?" "The parents listened to a teacher and took her out.
Huang also didn't have such a clear understanding of himself. Although he realized that he liked girls in the sixth grade, the concept of homosexuality has always been in a hazy state. In the second year of junior high school, she often had conflicts with her classmates, the teacher punished her for sitting alone, forbidding her classmates to talk to her, she almost dropped out of school, and played with boys every day. Her parents, worried that she was mixed up with people in society, drove her to Nanchang. On the contrary, in Yuzhang Academy, she really had a clear sense of homosexuality.
Forced to sign by two instructors, beaten up, and thrown into the small black room, she was "blindfolded", "I really didn't expect my parents to lie to me like this... Hate. I thought that if my mother was in front of me, I would stab her to death with a knife. "
In addition to her in the little dark room, there are 4 girls, two of whom are gay. When asked if it was a "T" (male character in lesbian), Huang said he didn't know and was ostracized. "What kind of bar or whatever they talk about, I haven't experienced. They sneered at me and let me sleep near the toilet at night. "She's even more autistic.
In order to show "loyalty", Huang also took the initiative to apply for the "broken zero class", did not expect to hold the sand and gravel with both hands, did not count to 100, she had lost consciousness and fell, the instructor took her hand and slapped the ground, "the knuckles are broken, the hands are full of blood." "
But in this closed environment, she fell in love with a girl who was considered "only like boys". "It's getting better, and I don't know why." They pass notes, share snacks, and chat privately. In order not to be discovered, the note is burned after reading each time.
Not only did they kiss in private, but they often went to bed at night when the teacher was on duty in the little black room. Fortunately, the peers in the dormitory did not feel anything, and their relationship was maintained until they walked out of Yuzhang Academy.
Every month, when her parents visited, Huang also begged her parents to take her out, and even knelt down, but to no avail. On May Day 2016, Huang also said that he had changed his mind and would work hard to go to school before he fled here. But as soon as she got home, she confessed to her mother, "I haven't changed at all." Later, she found out that her mother said in the WeChat group of parents at Yuzhang College that she would send her back again, and she ran away from home for a week to stay at a friend's house and a hotel. "If you are really caught again, it will not be a matter of half a year."
Before leaving, her girlfriend asked her to stay with her, and Huang also hesitated, "But I want to go out more, and I want to be free more." Fortunately, a few months later, my girlfriend also walked out of Yuzhang Academy.
Huang is also from Zhejiang, but his girlfriend is in the central province. Long-distance relationships don't reassure them. On the day of the Spring Festival, they broke up on the phone and deleted WeChat from each other. But a few months later, her girlfriend called and asked her to borrow money, saying that she was pregnant and was going to the hospital to get a fetus. Huang also borrowed money from a friend to call her.
After leaving Yuzhang Academy, Huang also felt inferior, she suffered from depression, social phobia, in addition to the experience in Yuzhang Academy, her parents' divorce also made her feel lost. She felt like she still liked her girlfriend, and once when she was drunk, she called and told her "I miss you", and the two resumed their relationship. Huang also took the high-speed train to find her and stayed with her for a week.
It was the first time she had traveled for love. Soon after, she found that the other's character could not stand it, and the two blacked out each other again. "She was my first love, and I wanted to die for her, and now I think that relationship is ridiculous." 」 Including the classmates at that time, when they left, they left each other on the phone, and they were in love, and then gradually faded, "Only because in Yuzhang, there was everyone's friendship, there was this love, who knows what kind of person it is when you go out?" Huang also said, "If it weren't for Yu Zhang, I certainly wouldn't have liked her." Inside, everyone is distorted, very strange. A very strange experience. "
<h1>"Parents will never say sorry"</h1>
"What are parents thinking? Why send children to such places? "The volunteers were also curious. Lu Ming said that most of the reason is that parents have imposed their previously unfulfilled dreams on their children.
"They want their children to fulfill their dreams for them. But children are also independent individuals, not the exclusive property of parents. Once the child resists and loses interest, they think that the child is disobedient, ignorant, and feels that the child has a problem. At this time, another sound blows the wind, and the child may be sent to such a school. "
However, the 70,000 tuition fees a year bring to children the harm of "labor camps". "Parents will self-hypnotize, have a fluke mentality, and feel that even if there is abuse, their children will not be beaten." Lu Ming said that powerless parents see such schools as hospitals and expect them to modify their children's personalities for themselves, "thinking that there can cure their children's diseases, and that disease is called disobedience." "
Luo Wei of Nanchang only failed the college entrance examination, did not want to go to college, and argued with his father, who was a senior engineer, and was tricked into the school by a group of people wearing police uniforms. "In the little dark room, I said: I am an adult, I have not broken the law, even my parents have no right to detain me, you have no right to detain me, I want to see a lawyer." Five years later, he insisted on prosecuting Wu Junbao and his instructors for illegal detention, corporal punishment and abuse, and insults, but he struggled.
"Yang Yongxin and Yuzhang Academy have a triple shield: cloaked in medical clothing, they are actually practicing medicine illegally, which is a false 'Morita therapy'; the local government supports them; the law can never determine the crime and crime." Luo Wei said that for 5 years, what he has been doing is breaking through the third layer of shields. "If my case is won, it will become the first judgment of the case of China's Internet addiction school, so that the future Internet addiction school will have to be afraid of three points and will not beat people indiscriminately." This is of great significance to China's rule-of-law society. "
In April 2012, the local media made an endorsement report for long regret school, "Wu Junbao and his "potential students", with many examples to boast about the miraculous effect of the school's "reform from evil to righteousness", "The founding spirit of long regret school is to increase self-cultivation with the spirit of human introspection, to guard against hard work and self-improvement." In addition to being the principal, Wu Junbao is also a national second-level psychological counselor. In the report, principal Wu Junbao claimed, "I oppose the corporal punishment-based education methods carried out by some special training schools in the past, but focus on psychological guidance and maximize the advantages of 'potential students'."
In fact, the Long Regret School and Yuzhang Academy are a dark "juvenile concentration camp", and the personality habits of many young girls and young girls change here - good becomes bad, bad changes are bad, and the perpetrator becomes the abuser. Lu Ming said that all he knew was that there were three children, who walked out of Yuzhang Academy and were sent to a mental hospital.

Chu Wuyue said that originally Yuzhang Academy was a perpetrator, and there was also bullying between students, which led to many people being "mentally abnormal, unclear about right and wrong, and three views of change", so that the victimized students, in turn, became perpetrators. In the girls' dormitory, a group of people bullied a 22-year-old mentally ill girl, "She was blown up, using the hairy end of the toothbrush." "
After leaving Yuzhang Academy, Zhou Yan, who had originally suffered from depression, became more serious. For more than 3 consecutive months, he did not dare to live at home at night, go to classmates or Internet cafes, carry a sharp kitchen knife with him, and go back to sleep during the day. Where to stay at night, even the parents did not know. "They've always had the means to go to your house at night, drag you out, put you in the van and pull you away. I was afraid they would take me away again, afraid to go back again. "
Zhou Yan also developed a "stress disorder". Once, his mother drove him to a psychiatric hospital, and halfway he noticed that the direction was wrong, and immediately became manic, and the speed of the car was thirty or forty yards, and he jumped out and ran. Mom cried out in pain. After explanation, he believed his mother and went there, and sure enough, it was a place for sandplay psychotherapy. "I was so scared that she would send me away. I thought that even if the people from Yuzhang Academy came to my door today, I would rather jump down the stairs. "
He couldn't adapt to the collective environment and almost dropped out of school. Two years after the inside story of Yuzhang Academy was exposed, his state slowly improved, and he was later admitted to college to study applied psychology.
Liang Xu, who originally suffered from paranoid mental disorder, was 1.88 meters tall, and when he entered, he was locked up with a drug addict and kicked down the instructor. Later, because of various things, he knelt dozens of times in the statue of Confucius, "This is the biggest stimulation I have received in it." After coming out of Yuzhang Academy, he became schizophrenic. Until this year, he frequently harassed Zhou Yan by phone, "sometimes calling me more than a dozen times a day." Liang Xu repeatedly described that when he was 5 years old, he met Ren Weiqiang on the street, "I asked him to open Yuzhang Academy, and he really opened Yuzhang Academy." "
After Yuzhang Academy was exposed, Zhou Yan's mother formally apologized to her son, saying that she had been blinded by the school authorities. But most of the parents who send their children to Yuzhang Academy rarely really reflect. "They won't apologize to you, or they'll say, I was doing it for your own good," Mr. Huang said, adding that parents would only avoid the problem, "hiding from the mistakes they made to you." This is the thinking inertia of Chinese parents. "
Many parents have "taken shares" or donated money at Yuzhang College. A student's mother in Zhejiang donated more than 26,000 yuan twice. Courtesy of respondents
Volunteer Luo Wei said that the principal Wu Junbao was probably bisexual, Wu touched his thigh, and some people said that Wu had molested a little boy in the office. "There are many witnesses who mention that Wu Junbao has a lot of 'chest hair' and 'leg hair' and 'sexual desire', and he also calls himself 'Qinglong'. Luo Wei said that from 2008 to 2013, when Yuzhang Academy was the predecessor of The Dragon Regret School, Wu Junbao once impregnated a girl. His wife dragged him to the victim's home to pay money, apologize, kneel, "write a review, then burn it, turn it into water, drink it." "
Volunteers counted and confirmed that a number of people who had been sexually assaulted at Yuzhang Academy were either married and living a normal life, or they had collected a gag fee and stopped talking, or they had been admitted to a mental hospital." Lu Ming said five of them were willing to testify at the trial. But the problem of sexual assault also faces the problem of insufficient evidence. "After a few months in a closed environment at the school, I can't help but take a shower, and the people who were beaten can't find any traces afterwards, and I hope to have evidence?"
Lu Ming said that in their statistics, 40 people have been injured by campus violence, sexual assault and other injuries before. "These children, who deserve to be protected by the law and the school, are sent to that kind of place, where they can hide and retreat?" Is this what this society owes to them? "
Some parents, obviously mentally unsound, point the finger at their children. Lu Ming mentioned that a father himself was transvestite, but said that his son was gay. After another stepfather raped his daughter, he worried that his daughter would call the police, so he sent her to Yuzhang Academy. The latter later went abroad, intending not to return to China again, and completely severed ties with his family.
Other children who were hurt by Yuzhang Academy later embarked on the path they chose. Li Yushan, who was imprisoned in a small black house and stripped naked, went to Beijing to work as an Internet celebrity; Wang Kai, a teenager who was sent to Yuzhang after encountering school violence, did not go to school after coming out, and worked as a "duck" in a bar in Sanlitun, Beijing.
