I'm 61 years old, a retired accountant at the city's machinery factory, and despite several rounds of internal staff replacement over the decades, I'm still in a strong position.
I, Zhang Mingtao, think that I have always been an honest person in the unit, and I have been working in this factory until I retired after graduating from university.
However, I was a bit out of place in a group of sleek people, which led to my first year in the factory being "designed......

01
In 1985, when I had just graduated from university, I worked a lot, and the director of the unit was a well-known and powerful figure in the factory.
It is reported that his nephew and I were in the same term, when I entered the factory, he was still in the field and did not come back, three months after I joined the company, the director suddenly proposed to give my accounting position to his nephew, as for me, I was transferred by the director to be an ordinary manual worker.
I was completely confused by the director's decision at the time, although the job of accounting is not very high, but after all, it is a decent job.
But I'm not stupid, I definitely won't agree to such an impertinent request, but the director made me a stumbling block, and as a matter of course, he arranged for me to do hard work, otherwise I would be dismissed!
I thought about theories on the spot, but as soon as I thought of the director's background and connections, I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth, and in the end I could only obediently accept the readjustment of my position.
After being transferred from the accounting office to the assembly line, I started a new working life, and to be honest, it was not easy.
At the same time, the director's nephew sat proudly in my former accounting position.
I happened to meet him once, and he pointed at me with contempt and contempt as if I were a worthless piece of waste.
I was completely disgusted by his arrogance, but I swallowed it in the end.
What's even more ridiculous is that other people in the unit also began to look down on me and ridicule me, and many people who had greeted me before now turned their heads when they saw me, as if they didn't see me.
I thought, God is playing tricks on me!
But the yellow-haired boy with a superior family background, how can he know what it means to be honest and decent? Especially in a position like accounting, if you don't do it well, you will make mistakes!
As expected, after he took the position of accountant, he soon began to pay and accept bribes, and not only that, but also squandered the money in the factory, and lived a prosperous life.
Just when I felt like I had been forgotten in the corner of life, something angry happened......
02
It was late at night, I had just gotten off work and was about to go home, and suddenly I was pushed behind me, and before I could react, the man reported to himself first, and it turned out that he was an employee of our unit.
"Zhang Mingtao, huh? I have something to tell you. The other party's tone was quite nervous and solemn.
"Tell me, what's going on?" I was puzzled, but more panic!
"The director's family has long been corrupt to the roots, they have speculated, embezzled and accepted bribes, and committed countless heinous crimes! I have solid evidence in my hands, and I'm going to call the police early tomorrow morning to expose them! ”
Although it is no longer a matter of one or two days for the director's family to act in the factory, because the relationship between the director and the director is relatively good, in the four years since I entered the factory, everyone has endured more silently than resisted.
I was first shocked by the words of the person behind me, but I was even more skeptical of the authenticity and intentions of the other party.
But before I could speak, the other party also said his true intentions:
"I'm here to find you this time to ask you to help me prove it, you just need to tell me what you know early tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, I ran away, and I stood still, full of extremely turbulent and complicated emotions.
The next morning, the whole unit was filled with the noise of police cars and crowds, and I was attracted by this battle, only to see the director's family being suppressed by the police.
"The surname is Wang, but you don't make me feel better, right? The evidence in Lao Tzu's hand is your S period! "It was the whistleblower last night, who roared loudly and threw a stack of documents into the director's face.
The director was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and he still muttered with a stiff neck: "I'm not doing it anymore, I'll explain everything!" ”
At this moment, I, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly saw the director's nephew who couldn't change his dog to eat.
He stood there with his hands in his hands, looking as arrogant as he had once done to me, as if all this had nothing to do with him!
But at this moment, another policeman walked up to him with a document and handcuffed him.
"I... I don't know anything! I'm innocent! The kid still stubbornly refused to admit it.
Just when the whistleblower slapped the incriminating evidence of the director's family in their faces, the atmosphere at the scene reached its highest point.
The director's face was full of shock and hideousness, and he couldn't stop muttering and quibbling, "Why are you doing this to me? I have contributed so much to the country... If it's wrong, it's wrong, won't it give me a chance to be a new person? ”
For the sake of power and money, they will do whatever it takes to forget all the principles of heaven!
And the nephew of this director has taken his arrogance and lasciviousness to the extreme, arrogant, and has never taken us ordinary workers into account.
However, the moment I looked at the person who reported it, I also chose to take the initiative to come out and tell the grievances I had suffered back then.
However, the investigation of the director's family was soon covered up with the news of the new director's appointment.

After this incident, the whole unit seemed to be injected with a clear stream, and everyone felt that the corruption and darkness before had finally been completely eradicated.
The new director personally approached me and solemnly handed me back the position of accountant, and when he put the badge back on me with both hands, my heart was extremely touched and proud.
At that time, I had been working as a coolie in the factory for 4 years, but fortunately I persevered!
"Master Zhang, I'm so sorry for you, you were framed by those conscienceless things back then. But don't take it personally, they're all in the Dharma now. The director said emotionally.
"It's all a trivial matter, how can He De?" I replied humbly, but my heart was genuinely happy.
It didn't take long for me to return to the familiar accounting work, and my colleagues praised me for my diligent and conscientious work attitude.
In this way, I slowly regained the trust and respect of my colleagues, but every time I think about those years, I still feel deeply angry: If it weren't for those corrupt guys, how could I have been so wronged?
But at this time, I will remind myself: that experience made me really understand how deceitful power and money are.
If someone bribes me in the future, I will definitely reprimand them fiercely, and I will never be deceived by money.
One day, I met a whistleblower on the street, and it was his whistleblowing that brought those corrupt officials to justice.
I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to him:
"Thanks to your report, those corrupt people have been brought to justice, and I am now living a happy life, all because you defended justice and conscience, I am so grateful to you!"
"You're welcome." The whistleblower humbly said: "Actually, I just did what a good citizen should do, and if everyone cleared the door and bravely exposed the darkness, then the world would be too beautiful." ”
I nodded in contemplation, thinking to myself that makes so much sense, yes! As long as we all be a good person for society and work together to purify our environment, then no one will ever suffer the same injustice and persecution as I did.
Yes, the road of life is so tortuous and rugged, but as long as you have courage and tenacity, you will definitely be able to break through the darkness and finally reach the other side of the light.
Looking back now, I feel that being able to go through that ordeal was also an opportunity and test given to me by God, which made me cherish the present from the bottom of my heart, made me understand what kindness and justice are, and finally made me understand the truth of being a human being.
Every time I see the accounting office getting busy again, I secretly say to myself that I must not be as depraved as them.
We must always maintain the quality of humility, diligence and integrity, and never forget our original intention and mission.
With this responsibility, I began to work diligently, and because of my experience, I quickly regained my grasp of many aspects of accounting, even more proficient than before, and my colleagues sincerely admired me when they saw that I had a good working attitude.
Outside of work, I also began to reflect on my own life, I was wronged in the past, I always went against the grain, and was silent about the injustice of fate.
But after this great disaster, I finally realized the preciousness of life, and I must bravely fight and defend my ideals.
In this way, I gradually changed from a pitiful insect suffering from injustice to a fighter who strides forward, and with this perseverance, my life has become more sunny.
Thinking back to the despair when I was transferred to manual work, I never imagined that there would be such a big reversal.
If God has given me hardships, it is also to make me grow and become stronger.
My family members were very happy for me when they saw me so brave and resolute, and my daughter-in-law often said emotionally: "You have finally come out of the haze, I am proud of you."
Epilogue:
The suffering of the past should be regarded as a great test given to me by God.
After the test, I am more sober, I understand what is right and wrong, right and wrong, and I love life and this wonderful world more.
Since then, I have shined in an ordinary position, and it is my upright personality that has allowed me to retire from this position.
