When Li Qiming was led to the gate of imprisonment and the door slowly opened, his thoughts were very complicated, as if he could clearly hear the expectation and longing for freedom in his heart.
However, this long prison life of six years has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow to the body and mind for this former gentleman, and all the sharp energy has been exhausted in the life behind bars.
Finally, on this day, Li Qiming walked out of the door that was too familiar to be more familiar, and his heart was full of mixed emotions. He is full of hope that he will be tolerated and forgiven by the society, and that he will have the opportunity to start a new chapter in his life.
However, the path of rebirth he hoped for was far more tortuous and arduous than he had imagined.
Li Qiming looked around, and none of his former friends were by his side, and even the "My dad is Li Gang" that he was once proud of became just an empty and powerless last words.
On the road to job hunting, he was constantly subjected to ruthless rejection and indifference from the company, and whenever the other party learned about his background, he would be ruthlessly rejected from the door, giving the reason that "our company cannot accept such employees".
What made him even more chilling was that his loved ones, who he once loved deeply, also chose to avoid them. Since that tragedy, Li Qiming's father, Li Gang, has never visited him in prison again, but the family has moved and left their original residence, cutting off all contact with him.
Seeing his relatives and friends leave him one after another, Li Qiming's heart once again fell into endless emptiness and confusion. He originally hoped that after he was released from prison, he would be able to use the influence of his father Li Gang to regain a foothold in society.
However, the reality poured cold water on him.
The arrogant and domineering momentum of the past has obviously lost its original power, and the phrase "My dad is Li Gang" that once made him fearless has now become his nightmare and curse.
Looking back at the long river of history, the hazy night of October 16, 2010 forever rewrote the trajectory of Li Qiming's fate. Those past pasts, as painfully embarrassing as they are, are hard to let go.
It was supposed to be a night of fun and good food. As a young man who is keen on smoking and drinking, Li Qiming drank fine wine during the banquet, however, after three rounds of drinking, he was already drunk and unconscious.
Reason gradually dissipates under the anesthesia of alcohol, replaced by reckless and arrogant impulses.
It was in this state of losing his mind that Li Qiming drove a car into the campus of Hebei University and ruthlessly injured two innocent female college students. What is even more shocking is that after the accident, instead of immediately reaching out to help the victim, he tried to flee the scene in panic.
When the bystanders tried to stop him, Li Qiming did not feel guilty, but arrogantly shouted: "If you have the ability, go and denounce me! My father is Li Gang!" This harsh sentence undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of everyone present.
As the son of a high-ranking public security official, he is so contemptuous of the law that he treats the lives of others as a mustard.
In the end, with the concerted efforts of everyone, Li Qiming had nowhere to escape after sobering up. Immediately afterwards, a heartbreaking news came - one of the two injured female college students was seriously injured on the spot, and the other was only 20-year-old Chen Xiaofeng, who could not bear the heavy blow and left the world forever.
Chen Xiaofeng's death was like a bolt from the blue, completely destroying her family. When the bad news came, her mother was admitted to the hospital due to a heart attack caused by excessive grief, and her father, Chen Guangqian, took on the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath alone.
Another victim, Zhang Jingjing, narrowly escaped, but was also slightly injured.
This tragedy, which should never have happened, has undoubtedly become the biggest shadow and regret in Li Qiming's life. He was once surrounded by the meticulous love of his family, but now he has personally ruined the happy life of other people's families.
The precious youth passed quietly in this way, becoming an eternal stain on his life.
Under the pressure of the surging tide of public opinion, even though Li Ganggui is a high-ranking official in the public security system of Hebei Province and his influence is extraordinary, he still cannot exonerate his beloved son Li Qiming from all responsibility.
In view of this, the police launched an in-depth and comprehensive investigation into the case to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the chain of evidence, thereby confirming Li Qiming's criminal behavior of drunk driving that night and locking in the conclusive evidence of his drunk driving accident.
Faced with such ironclad facts, the court finally handed down a harsh verdict on Li Qiming: he was sentenced to six years in prison, and at the same time, he had to pay up to 460,000 yuan in compensation to the victim's family, the Chen family, and 91,000 yuan to the Zhang family, another victim's family.
On the surface, this seems to be a satisfactory solution to this terrible case, but in reality, it has dealt a heavy blow to everyone involved.
For the Chen family, monetary compensation can alleviate the pain of losing a loved one, but it cannot fill the deep wounds. Especially after learning the news of the unfortunate murder of her daughter Chen Xiaofeng, Chen's mother suffered a heart attack due to excessive grief and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Chen Guangqian, the only male member of the Chen family, had to take on the heavy responsibility of handling his daughter's funeral alone, and was under great pressure from the entire family.
For Li Gang's family, their son's crime undoubtedly brought them unprecedented pressure from public opinion. The once-high-profile family image has been hit hard by the incident, and Li Gang, a senior official in the public security system, has been questioned as a result.
In order to maintain the fairness of the incident, Li Gang finally had to make the difficult decision to punish his own son.
After the verdict was announced, there was a lot of discussion about the case from all walks of life. Some people believe that the sentence is too lenient and that Li Qiming should accept a more severe punishment, while others say that in such special circumstances, the court has fully considered the principle of leniency.
In any case, this case, which has aroused widespread concern in the whole society, has finally been temporarily resolved, and people are looking forward to the early subsidence of the turmoil of the incident.
After serving his sentence, Li Qiming embarked on the arduous road of finding a job with good expectations for his future life. However, he never expected that this road would be so tortuous and full of thorns.
Many companies avoided him and even took extreme measures. Some companies directly turned him away and did not even give him the opportunity to interview; while others found excuses to prevaricate and perfunctory the past with all kinds of unreasonable reasons.
However, without exception, all companies refuse to accept this candidate with a complex background.
It turned out that he naively thought that he could solve the problem in one fell swoop by paying his hard-earned money, but the reality was cruel and ruthless! At this time, Li Qiming finally deeply felt that the mistakes he had made had left a deep mark on him, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to gain the understanding and acceptance of the entire society.
Even more sad is that his friends, who were once close to him, are now afraid of him. His father, Li Gang's family, resolutely left their original residence and cut off all contact with him.
Seeing his relatives and friends leaving him one after another, Li Qiming fell into endless loneliness and confusion again.
The once pampered son and brother are now in a lonely and homeless situation. The rhetoric of "My dad is Li Gang" has now become his nightmare, haunting his ears all the time, reminding him of his past mistakes and past glory.
The weight of life often plunges Li Qiming into painful self-doubt. He knows very well that these are shadows that he can't get rid of in his life, and that his arrogance and willfulness have brought him only endless torture and pain.
Life hit again and again, so that Li Qiming began to reflect on his past behavior, those ignorance and absurdity. What was once sharp is now so despicable and selfish.
How will he bravely face the mistakes of the past? How will he resolutely step out of the haze and regain the hope and courage of life? There is no doubt that this will be a road full of challenges and difficulties, and at the same time, it will also be a severe life test that will accompany him throughout his life.
In the cycle of cause and effect, the past follows closely like a shadow, and it still takes time to give an answer to whether Li Qiming can finally redeem himself and win back the trust and tolerance of the society.
