"The '697' in front of me is no longer just a number in my mind, I can feel the heat of '697' and the weight of '697'. 697' is 18 points higher than your '679' last year, which includes your perseverance, and these 18 points also include the hard work of grandma and mother. In these 18 points, there is even more unspeakable guilt in Dad's heart......"
This is a passage from a letter written by Dawei (pseudonym), an inmate at Chaohu Prison in Anhui Province, to his son.
It all started with a remittance. After learning that the results of the college entrance examination were released, Dawei applied to the police to check the details of his relatives' remittances.
When he saw 69.7 yuan, Dawei wiped his tears and excitedly said to the police in the prison area: "Great! That's great! My son scored 697 points in the college entrance examination! It turned out that Dawei had agreed with his relatives as early as the beginning of June that he would remit as much money as his child scored in the college entrance examination.
On June 24, after learning that the child scored 697 points in the exam, Dawei immediately wrote a letter, telling the affirmation of the child and the guilt of his family.
The reporter learned from Chaohu Prison that in 2022, Dawei was imprisoned for a crime, and his wife raised the children alone after divorcing him. Since serving his sentence, Dawei has always believed that he is ashamed of his family, has not set a good example for his children, is afraid to face them, and has a lot of worries all day long.
"The child is so hard working and excellent, as a father, do you have to sink like this?" In the face of Dawei's state, the police in the prison area continued to boost his confidence through conversation guidance, psychological counseling, and life care. In order to better play the special role of family affection, on July 4, Chaohu Prison provided Dawei with an opportunity to talk to his ex-wife and children.
“
Dad, I scored 697 points in the exam, and I'm going to go to Peking University, I'll go to see you when I get the notice, my younger siblings and I don't blame you, we're waiting for you at home.
”
On the phone, when he heard his son's good news, David burst into tears. This was the first time David had spoken to his child on the phone since he was imprisoned, and the moment he heard the child call him "Dad", he could no longer control his tears of remorse.
On July 10, the reporter learned from an interview that Dawei's son bought a mobile phone after the college entrance examination, and now the prison is actively contacting Dawei's family to handle family calls for Dawei and his son.
"Dear son, at the critical time when you are preparing for the college entrance examination, I was not able to accompany you, Dad wants to sincerely say sorry to you, I am very pleased that you have achieved such good results, I will take your results as a driving force to actively transform, and strive to go home and reunite with you as soon as possible."
Now, the child has applied for Peking University, and Dawei's performance in prison has also improved greatly, and he is also actively preparing for the forklift, electrician and other qualification certificates in prison.
In this regard, netizens also encouraged the father and son: The son has set a good example, and the father should also cheer!
Some netizens also asked: Do college admissions require political review? Some netizens gave answers
The prodigal son does not change his money,
There are such excellent and sensible children,
I hope that my father, who is serving a prison sentence, will mend his ways,
Get back together with your family soon!
