preface
Newly married was the happiest day of her life, but Korean female soldier Li Yilin chose to end her life on this day. Before committing suicide, he also left a video, which set off a storm in South Korean society.
Big wedding day
May 21, 2021, for Chinese couples, this homonymous "I love you" festival is a special festival. Not only that, for Li Yilin from South Korea, this day is also a special day.
May 21, 2021 is the wedding day of Lee Ye-lin, an air force officer from South Korea. That morning, she dressed up and applied for marriage registration with her husband at the relevant Korean authorities in the most beautiful manner. After the registration was completed, they and their friends held a party at a restaurant to celebrate the registration of their marriage.
Whether it is marriage registration or a party, Li Yilin, as a bride, is the brightest star in the crowd. Li Yilin was born in a middle-class family in South Korea, has been a beauty embryo since she was a child, and has received business cards from Korean talent scouts several times when shopping with her mother.
However, Li Yilin is not a character who likes to dress up, and today she dressed up uncharacteristically, which made the groom and friends dazzled. The beautiful girl smiled cheerfully in the crowd, and everyone was infected by the cheerfulness of the girl.
After the party, Li Yilin bid farewell to her husband, who had to rush to the company to work overtime, and went home alone. This bright-looking girl, after being empty around her, revealed her most true side.
Li Yilin rubbed her almost stiff smile, silently freshened up, and changed out of her beautiful dress, leaving herself covered in devastation. She turned on the camera, the exhaustion and pain on her face could not be hidden, and in the corner where no one was, she could finally speak out her grievances.
"I had a lot of hope that those people would be punished, but they banded together to cover up the facts and asked me to drop the charges against them," she said in the video. Now my body has become dirty, and as for my death, all of them are the perpetrators. ”
After speaking, on her happiest day, this girl who left the most beautiful self to the people around her closed her eyes forever.
Who hurt Li Yilin? And who covered up the crime of the person who hurt Li Yilin? What secrets are hidden in it?
Things have to start with Li Yilin's dream.
I don't love red clothes and love arms, and beautiful girls chase dreams of the air force
One day in the 90s of the 20th century, an ordinary middle-class family in South Korea gave birth to a new life, and they named her Li Yilin.
Li Yilin, who was born in a middle-class family, grew into a cheerful and bright girl in the love and careful care of her parents. Although Li Yilin is very outstanding in terms of achievements and abilities, whenever everyone mentions Li Yilin, the most mentioned is Li Yilin's pure and natural, pure beauty like clear water hibiscus.
Because she is good-looking, from childhood to adulthood, Li Yilin has received many business cards from talent scouts, but these invitations from talent scouts have been rejected by Li Yilin. This girl who can eat by her face does not want to become an idol, her dream is to become a soldier!
Through Li Yilin's unremitting efforts, she was admitted to the military school as she wished, graduated from the military school with honors, and became a female pilot in the 20th Fighter Wing of the Republic of Korea Air Force.
The ROK 20th Fighter Wing, located at Seosan Flight Field, Chungcheongnam-do, is part of the Air Force's Northern Combat Command, and is the ace unit of the ROK Air Force, which has participated in ROK-US military exercises many times and is a well-deserved leader of the air force. Being able to enter the 29th Fighter Wing is enough to prove Li Yilin's excellence and her efforts for her dreams.
However, Li Yilin, who stepped into the land of dreams, completely underestimated the evil here, this is not the place where Li Yilin's dream takes off, but the place to swallow this girl with dreams.
We all know that in Korea, there is a culture of "predecessors and predecessors". The origin of this culture was influenced by the Confucian culture of "respecting the old and loving the young" when Korea was still in Korea, and Koreans attached great importance to the elders and the young.
In Korea, seniors must love their juniors, and juniors must obey their predecessors. When facing the seniors, the juniors must bow and say hello and must say honorifics to the seniors; The seniors need to love the juniors and give them certain care.
Seeing this, everyone may think, isn't this so-called predecessor the elders and juniors in the family? In fact, no, in Korea, the relationship between predecessors and predecessors is determined according to age and seniority.
We all know that China, as a food country, when saying hello, everyone will habitually ask "Have you eaten?" "Have you eaten?" In Korea, there are similar greetings, except that they ask "How old are you?" "What month was it born?" That's right, in the Korean predecessor system, as long as you are older, you are all seniors. This is based on age, and is mostly used for students in the same year or for staff who join the company together.
There is also a division method, that is, according to seniority, in this case, the older is the senior, and the less senior is the junior. Even if you are older, as long as you are not qualified enough, you are a junior. This is the strict seniority of Korea.
The original intention of the existence of such a culture is good, the predecessors promote the juniors, and the juniors respect the predecessors. However, a long period of hard maintenance has gradually deformed such a culture.
Nowadays, it is not difficult to see Korean seniors unscrupulously bullying juniors on TV dramas and news, or vicious school violence caused by the culture of predecessors and predecessors. Most frighteningly, such a culture has also spread to the military.
Deformed culture: the white rabbit who strayed into the wolf pack
After Li Yilin joined the 20th Fighter Wing, as the latest newcomer, she was naturally at the bottom of the food chain. However, Li Yilin's cheerful and bright and generous character has been loved by everyone in the army.
All the seniors took good care of Li Yilin, and because of Li Yilin's good appearance, during the weekend vacation, there were many male officers like Li Yilin who invited them to dinner and dinner.
At first, Li Yilin thought that this was the care of the seniors of the army for the juniors who had just entered the camp, but gradually, she discovered that something was wrong.
Invitations to parties and parties did not disappear long after Li Yilin entered the camp, and the sensitive Li Yilin overheard the male soldiers talking about her appearance and figure.
The favor for the seniors suddenly dissipated, and Li Yilin began to hide from these seniors, and when they made an invitation for the weekend, Li Yilin refused under various excuses.
Even so, many people invited Li Yilin. Before this, Li Yilin had always separated her private life from work and did not disclose her emotional status, but the invitation at this time had caused a kind of harassment for Li Yilin. Therefore, in order to cut off this harassment, Li Yilin disclosed her boyfriend who had been in love for many years and admitted the fact that she was engaged.
Since then, many male soldiers have given up pursuing Li Yilin, but there is one exception, that is, the male officer of Li Yilin's team, Sergeant Zhang.
In South Korea's military duties, sergeant belongs to the rank of non-commissioned officer, and is a small official position in the army. And Li Yilin belongs to the squad managed by Sergeant Zhang.
In her previous work, Li Yilin had several intersections with Sergeant Zhang. But Li Yilin clearly felt Sergeant Zhang's abnormality. In the most ordinary work, Sergeant Zhang will intentionally or unconsciously increase the content of work, increase the time the two of them spend together, and from time to time will make jokes about Li Yilin.
But under the influence of the culture of "predecessors", Li Yilin chose to endure. Comfort yourself silently and endure it. However, at the departmental gathering not long after, Sergeant Zhang took advantage of the strength of the wine to move his hands and feet on Li Yilin.
At this time, the alliance was bullied before, and Li Yilin finally broke out. This girl at the bottom of the food chain bravely said no to her unscrupulous boss and exposed his ugly behavior in front of everyone. But to Li Yilin's surprise, none of the colleagues present helped her.
Most people chose to ignore it, and a few colleagues with better relations only said: "Sergeant Zhang is drunk, just endure." ”
The huge contrast made Li Yilin disgusted with the gathering of the army, as long as she could not go, she would not go, minimize her contact with Sergeant Zhang, and have social contact with Sergeant Zhang, and was also transferred by Li Yilin to other colleagues.
But how can a hunter give up hunting because his prey is fleeing?
A rabbit who falls into a trap, a nightmare that cannot be escaped
Soon after, Li Yilin transferred to another officer's subordinate, where she finally did not have to hide from Sergeant Zhang without worry, and her stressful work life was calmed down for a long time.
However, Sergeant Zhang suddenly found Li Yilin's boss, Warrant Officer Lu. He claimed that he had formed a bureau of non-commissioned officers, and if Warrant Officer Lu could bring beautiful women here, he would definitely become the most face-saving officer at the dinner.
Warrant Officer Lu, who was moved by Sergeant Zhang, first thought of the famous beauty in his team - Li Yilin. He immediately found Li Yilin and asked Li Yilin to go to the dinner with him.
However, after the previous incident, Li Yilin has always been able to go to a place where there are many men like dinner. Therefore, when Warrant Officer Lu proposed it, Li Yilin refused his invitation.
The good-faced Warrant Officer Lu suddenly felt that his face was dull, and he forced Li Yilin into a corner and threatened viciously: "Li Yilin, don't you want to stay in the army?" Want to be just a soldier forever? ”
After weighing the future and a nasty dinner, Li Yilin had to agree to Warrant Officer Lu's invitation. Receiving a positive answer from the beauty, Warrant Officer Lu sorted out his expression, resumed his previous smiling face, and left alone.
Li Yilin, who stayed in place, only felt that her body was full of resistance, and nausea surged in her heart, holding back the feeling of wanting to vomit, Li Yilin sorted out her mood and continued to complete her work.
Soon, the appointed day came, and on March 2, 2021, Li Yilin accompanied her boss, Warrant Officer Lu, to the dinner site. Pushing open the door, Sergeant Zhang's viper-like eyes stared at Li Yilin. Suddenly, her body began to stiffen, and she froze in place, under the strong restraint of Warrant Officer Lu, before entering the room full of male officers.
No, it's not like that.
At this time, the number of people in the room has exceeded 5 people, and due to the epidemic, South Korea has issued a ban on the number of people in the party not exceeding 5 people. However, the officers clearly violated the ban.
Li Yilin, who was stiff, seemed to have found a lifesaver, and she quickly proposed a ban, hoping that the officers could let her go. It is impossible for this group of officers not to know the participants before starting the dinner, and this move was obviously deliberate.
Li Yilin was forcibly left in the hotel, and it was Sergeant Zhang who made her avoid like a snake and scorpion sitting beside her. Although she was forced to stay in the dinner, this stubborn and indomitable girl still did not give up, everyone pushed glasses and changed glasses at the dinner table, and the wine bottles were empty bottle after bottle, but no matter how they persuaded, Li Yilin still insisted on her attitude and did not stick to alcohol.
Gradually, the officers lost their patience and smashed the cup of Warrant Officer Lu brought by Li Yilin, and no longer paid attention to this female soldier who "did not know how to lift".
At this time, Li Yilin didn't care about any seniors, superiors and subordinates, she stood up, said a simple goodbye and prepared to leave.
At this time, Sergeant Zhang on the side stood up with a red face and staggered to ask for a ride on Li Yilin's ride. Seeing that the man in front of him was indeed drowsy and drunk. Therefore, Li Yilin agreed to Sergeant Zhang's request.
On the way back, although Sergeant Zhang was already asleep in the back seat, Li Yilin, who was driving, never slackened at all, and through the rearview mirror, she closely followed Sergeant Zhang's every move. Suddenly, when the car was driving to an uninhabited path near the army, Sergeant Zhang suddenly covered his mouth and told Li Yilin that he was going to vomit.
The simple Li Yilin did not suspect, immediately stopped and opened the door for Sergeant Zhang. At this moment, the "drunk" Sergeant Zhang changed his previous groggy state and pressed Li Yilin under him.
It turned out that Sergeant Zhang had been pretending to be drunk! This dinner is the perfect trap set by the hunter for the prey! The prey is constantly resisting under the control of the hunter, and the roar and scream resound throughout the world, but on the empty path, who will save the rabbit that fell into the trap?
I don't know how long has passed, Li Yilin doesn't know how she finally left that path, she returned to the army dormitory in a daze, washing and licking her wounds alone. She washed herself over and over again, and it took a long time to find her thoughts.
Desperate to accuse the wicked, but to be bullied into a laughing stock
Li Yilin, who found her thoughts, did not intend to hide this matter, at this time Li Yilin's mind appeared the figure of her parents, family, and boyfriend, and the love of each of them became Li Yilin's strength, and after thinking twice, Li Yilin found her boss, Warrant Officer Lu, hoping that he could report to his superiors and let Sergeant Zhang receive the punishment he deserved.
Warrant Officer Lu, who learned of this, felt very angry, Sergeant Zhang bullied the person he took out, wasn't it just bullying him and getting off his face?
Warrant Officer Lu comforted Li Yilin, and after sending her away, he picked up the phone and prepared to report to his superiors. However, at this moment, Warrant Officer Lu's hand to dial the phone suddenly paused.
If Sergeant Zhang is stabbed out, then it is bound to be investigated on his head, then he will definitely be implicated in taking Li Yilin out that day. At the same time, their violation of the epidemic prevention ban on that day will also be discovered.
Thinking of this, Warrant Officer Lu turned his finger and dialed Sergeant Zhang's phone. On the phone, Warrant Officer Lu first reproached Sergeant Zhang, a sergeant, for being so bold to bully a female soldier. Then, Warrant Officer Lu warned Sergeant Zhang that since he had done something wrong, he should wipe his ass clean himself, not leave his tail, and kill himself and implicate others.
Hearing Warrant Officer Lu's words, Sergeant Zhang first sighed in his heart that Li Yilin dared to say this, and secondly, Sergeant Zhang also understood after being terrified that Warrant Officer Lu was preparing to suppress this matter, in this case, what else did he have to scruple about?
So, Sergeant Zhang found Li Yilin, and shouted in front of Li Yilin with a villainous face: "I heard that you are about to get married, and the impact of this matter on you is not good." ”
Seeing that the person who hurt her in front of her did not repent, but still showed off her strength in front of her, Li Yilin's inner anger could no longer be suppressed, she stared at Sergeant Zhang deadly, and the stubbornness in her eyes showed that she would not give up her determination to seek justice for herself.
Sergeant Zhang, who was a villain, was obviously calmed by Li Yilin's eyes, and he bluffed and said to Li Yilin: "If you go to sue again, be careful that you are ruined!" ”
After Sergeant Zhang left, an angry Li Yilin approached Warrant Officer Lu and asked him why he was shielding someone like Sergeant Zhang.
Compared with Li Yilin's hoarseness, Warrant Officer Lu behaved very lightly, he lightly persuaded Li Yilin to give up, and when he found that Li Yilin did not intend to give up, he viciously threatened her: "If you make trouble again, I won't let you have a good life!" ”
Li Yilin left Warrant Officer Lu's office, she could not have imagined that the place she dreamed of would be so dark and evil.
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, if it is useless to report to her superiors, then she will collect evidence and take a military court!
Even if she was unfair, Li Yilin never gave up, she got the vehicle recorder at that time and handed it over to the Military Police Department, hoping that the Military Police Department could thoroughly investigate the matter and let Sergeant Zhang get the punishment he deserved.
Soon, the investigation team of the Military Police Department arrived at the 20th Fighter Wing, and hope rose in Li Yilin's heart, and just when she thought that the bad guys could finally be punished, the reversal appeared again.
During the investigation of Sergeant Zhang, Sergeant Zhang blocked the mouth of the investigation team on the grounds that "I was drunk at the time and don't remember anything." In the ensuing investigation, instead of investigating Sergeant Zhang, the investigation team pointed the finger of the case at the victim, Li Yilin.
During the 15-day investigation, Li Yilin was interviewed 17 times, and the scars that had not healed were revealed again and again, and in the memories of the case again and again, the defense line in the heart of this strong girl still collapsed.
Since then, Li Yilin's physical and mental state has dropped significantly, often showing excessive sensitivity and self-harm tendencies, just when this girl held her breath and looked forward to justice, the investigation team gave the results of the investigation, which made this originally cheerful and bright girl completely collapse.
According to the investigation of the investigation team, Sergeant Zhang forced Li Yilin to have sex while drunk, which is a serious act of overreach, and the fact of rape is not established.
As soon as this result came out, Li Yilin completely sank into the abyss. Who broke the law? Who was hurt? At this moment, Li Yilin no longer believes in the so-called law, justice, will there be a day to come?
After the incident, in order to calm the impact of the incident, Li Yilin was transferred to the 15th Fighter Wing and completely stayed away from Sergeant Zhang. Just as Li Yilin was about to gather her spirits and start over, the news that she was violated by Sergeant Zhang spread out at some point, and the entire Air Force knew that she had been violated, sued, and finally Sergeant Zhang was acquitted.
In the 15th Wing, Li Yilin could feel the fingers of her comrades when she walked on the road, obviously a victim, but at this time, she became the object of their injury.
In the days under investigation, Li Yilin suffered from depression, anxiety, and insomnia due to a mental breakdown, and in the new wing, the pointing of comrades-in-arms and the threats of Sergeant Zhang from time to time became the last straw that overwhelmed Li Yilin.
So, there is the opening scene, this young and promising girl, her life is forever frozen on the wedding day.
epilogue
"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."
Li Yilin's death was difficult for her family to accept. Therefore, in order to get justice for Li Yilin, Li Yilin's father reported Sergeant Chang's crime to the South Korean presidential office - the Blue House.
Soon, word spread of Li Yilin's experience, and in just one day, 400,000 people simultaneously petitioned the government to thoroughly investigate the Li Yilin incident. In the end, Sergeant Zhang received the punishment he deserved, and was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Finally, Li Yilin's spirit in heaven was comforted, but this young and promising girl with ambitions in all directions will never come back.
