Indifferent parents and crazy pursuits
Tao Rukun is a quiet and introverted boy in our class. He is good at drawing, and his grades in all subjects are stable in the middle and upper reaches, giving people a mysterious and cold feeling. We usually have very little communication with him.
But unexpectedly, one day, Tao Rukun suddenly plucked up the courage in front of the whole class, confessed to Zhou Yan, and publicly expressed his love for her. He even wrote a love letter to Zhou Yan with his own hands.
I saw Zhou Yan frightened, his face pale, and he looked around in horror for help.
Since then, Tao Rukun has begun his crazy pursuit. He used various ways to entangle Zhou Yan, such as stuffing love letters into her desk and intercepting Zhou Yan on the way out of school.
There was even a time when I saw Tao Rukun shouting hysterically after Zhou Yan refused. This undoubtedly seriously affected Zhou Yan's normal life and Xi.
Zhou Yan and his parents repeatedly reported the situation to teachers and Tao Rukun's parents, asking them to take steps to stop Tao Rukun's behavior, but received no positive response.
This made Tao Rukun more unscrupulous and went his own way, and Zhou Yan's life was overshadowed by his harassment.
The transfer was fruitless
After graduating from junior high school, Zhou Yan decided to transfer to another school, hoping to get rid of Tao Rukun's harassment. However, the good times did not last long, on the first day of high school, when Zhou Yan came to the new school happily, she was greeted by Tao Rukun's indifferent and fanatical gaze standing in the classroom.
I can't imagine Zhou Yan's despair and fear at that time. The next day, accompanied by his parents, Zhou Yan left the school. However, the nightmare continues.
Tao Rukun still blocked Zhou Yan's way to school every day, insulting her loudly, and once even violently grabbed her hair to prevent her from leaving. Zhou Yan's face turned pale with fear, and his body was as helpless as if he had lost his strength.
I saw a deep despair in her eyes, she just wanted to stay away from Tao Rukun, away from this endless horror.
Forced suspension of school and tragedy
After experiencing sustained harassment, Zhou Yan was forced to take a break from school for a while. She and her family hope that this period of separation will make Tao Rukun die and stop being entangled.
However, they never expected that on a sunny weekend, Tao Rukun suddenly came to Zhou Yan's house, and the gasoline in his hand had been poured on Zhou Yan and ignited.
I heard Zhou Yan let out a deafening scream, and her body was burning in the firelight. A week later, early one morning, just after the dawn fell in the hospital, I saw Zhou Yan, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, finally opened his eyes.
She looked around blankly, trying to smile but unable to move when she saw her mother. When her hand lightly touched her side and felt the touch of her skin, she understood everything in an instant.
Endless Surgery and Endless Blame
After that, Zhou Yan spent a long and painful time in the hospital. She underwent multiple surgeries and skin grafts, but the disfigurement of her face was irremediable. When she saw herself in the mirror for the first time, Zhou Yan fell to the ground crying, she couldn't recognize the person in the mirror as herself.
During this time, Zhou Yan and his family were under tremendous mental pressure. Sometimes she even had thoughts of suicide in the middle of the night, but in order to survive to take care of her disabled daughter, her mother began to stay at her bedside all night.
At the same time, there are still people on the Internet who choose to doubt and attack the poor victim, slandering her as "deserving". This endless blame and pain seemed to have become her new normal life.
Apathetic society versus life exchange
Ten years later, Tao Rukun was released from prison, and he soon returned to normal life. He looked relaxed, with a smile on his face, ready to start a new life. I saw him dressed appropriately, attending a blind date, and chatting with a beautiful girl.
All this happened so lightly and logically, as if he had not done anything wrong.
In sharp contrast, everything that should have belonged to Zhou Yan was all wiped out due to that accident. If it weren't for Tao Rukun's cruelty, she would have a happy study, career, and family like other ordinary girls.
Now, however, she can only spend the endless nights on her sickbed. Two young people who could have had the same life ended up swapping fates.
Warning others and reflection
This shocking incident happened all around us, and it warns us not to go our own way because of our superior background, let alone to harm the innocent.
We must be wary of people like Tao Rukun and not be confused by his family background.
At the same time, we should also reflect on the fact that parents and teachers have not fulfilled their due responsibilities in this matter. They ignored and indulged Tao Rukun's actions and failed to stop them at the beginning of the situation.
If he had received the care and help of the people around him, Zhou Yan might not have encountered this tragedy. Therefore, each of us should care for and help the weak in life, pass on warmth, and jointly protect a society full of humanity.
