How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

"My life really got better after I entered the orphanage."

"There are more than 20 babies my age in the orphanage, some older than me, and quite a few younger than me. The youngest was only four or five months old, and the whole family was sent here before they died."

"The welfare home has a director, a nanny, a health doctor, and a fat cook. Sure enough, we can drink potato porridge and eat white-flour steamed buns every day."

"Every once in a while, we can actually eat a few fried cakes! You can imagine that in those days they were willing to fry deep-fried cakes for us to eat."

"The captain didn't lie to me, and Dai Jingzhi didn't lie to me either. Oh no, I should call him Teacher Dai."

"Later I found out that Mr. Dai is very powerful! I heard that he was a professor at Kyoto University, but he was assigned to work here because he made a mistake."

"Originally, he was feeding cows and horses in the village cowshed. After the establishment of a welfare home in the county, no one knew how to teach writing, so he was transferred here as a teacher."

"There are seven or eight childcare workers in the entire orphanage, but there is only one teacher, Dai Jingzhi, and he is also very busy."

"Those under six years old don't need to be taken care of, but they have to teach us and the older children on weekdays. Occasionally, they have to go to the village to pick up orphans who have lost their parents."

"It's easy for us to manage, but the older children, who are 13, 14, 15 or 16 years old, are not focused on studying. They want to leave the orphanage early and go out to earn wages every day."

"Teacher Dai has no choice but to focus on us. In addition to attending classes every day, he also has to prepare lessons late at night."

"Because he not only taught us how to read, but also taught us arithmetic, astronomy and geography, and what happened in the Dragon Kingdom in the past dynasties. Sometimes he would even say a few words in foreign language, saying that this is what most people in the world A universal language, once you learn it, you can speak it smoothly all over the world.”

“But I still like to listen to Teacher Dai’s lectures on physics, because it can solve almost all my doubts.”

"For example, why does water flow by itself? Why do lights turn on? Why can't even the strongest people lift themselves up?"

"Unfortunately, Teacher Dai taught very little about physics. He said it was very difficult and we still can't understand it at our current level."

"When he gets older, he will give us a good lecture on the vast ocean of physics. Because he is a professor in the Department of Physics at Kyoto University. He heard that foreigners spent millions of annual salaries to hire him to teach abroad, but he was unwilling to go. ”

"Although I don't understand at all what the concept of an annual salary of several million was in that era."

"I thought my life in the orphanage would be like this. I would study and go to class every day, eat and sleep, and live a stable life."

"It's a pity that the good times did not last long! Within two years, Teacher Dai will no longer be able to teach us regularly."

"Outside, the dislike for him is getting worse and worse, and there is a consensus that he has made a huge mistake. It seems that the more learned he is, the more unforgivable he is."

"Teacher Dai was often taken away for interrogation. He was also often taken to towns and villages to make him look embarrassed. Those people would get angry and beat him black and blue."

"Some people even say that he is a typical example, an enemy traitor sent to our country by foreign countries. They sent him to the city or the province to continue to judge his crimes."

"At first it was three to five days, then ten days and a month and a half, and finally I didn't even come back once a month or two months."

"But every time we come back, the teacher will still take time to teach us and try his best to answer our questions."

"But the number of people in class is gradually decreasing. Many children say that he is a heinous sinner. Sooner or later, if he takes class with him, he will become a bad guy and will be judged. The only ones who can still continue to attend class are me and five or six other classmates, a total of six or seven people." "

"Teacher Dai doesn't care when there are few people around. He still lectures seriously and teaches us all the knowledge he knows."

"Oh, by the way, when I'm not in class, I have a friend. He is an orphan from Qinjiagou. His name is Qin Gouwa. Teacher Dai named him Qin Wenjing."

"The two of us have a good relationship. We both like reading and writing. When the teacher is not in the orphanage, we clean his room and read the books left by the teacher."

"Through reading, we learned a lot of knowledge. For example, the Qin Empire established by Qin Shihuang was overthrown by a group of peasants. For example, there was a very powerful person named Isaac Newton who proposed the three laws of physics and explained the rules of how the world works... …”

“When we couldn’t understand something, we just wrote it down and looked forward to Teacher Dai coming back to explain it to us, but it’s a pity that the teacher’s absence is getting longer and longer.”

"Two more years passed like this. I was twelve years old and eating in the cafeteria."

"Qin Wenjing ran in in a hurry, panting heavily and saying that Teacher Dai was back!"

"I was shocked and quickly stood up, my face full of joy."

"Because the teacher has not returned to the orphanage for more than three months since he last left, many children have even forgotten what he looks like."

"Where is the teacher? Wen Jing, please lead me over and have a look!"

"I pulled Qin Wenjing to go to the teacher's dormitory, but Qin Wenjing was crying..."

"He said that the teacher was beaten badly this time. When he came back, he was carried back. He couldn't even stand up."

"The people in the county were going to send him to the hospital, but he said he wouldn't go and insisted on coming back to see us for the last time! Li Xin, don't fucking eat. Go and see the teacher."

"When I heard it, I just felt weak all over, just like my mother spent the winter three years ago. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk."

"In the end, Qin Wenjing pulled me and led me to the classroom, saying that Teacher Dai was inside."

"There were six or seven classmates gathered in the classroom, all of whom were children who often took classes with Teacher Dai. Other children had also heard about it, but they didn't dare to come over."

"There were so many people crying in the classroom, which was very upsetting. I pushed Qin Wenjing away, and then opened the crowd. When I finally saw the teacher, I felt like my head was exploding."

"What on earth has Teacher Dai experienced? His whole body is covered with injuries, there is blood on the corner of his mouth, his clothes are in tatters, and he no longer looks as cool and calm as before."

"When he saw me coming in, Teacher Dai was helped to sit up, and he leaned under the blackboard and smiled at me."

"He said Li Xin, you are here. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see you this time..."

"The teacher didn't finish speaking, so I rushed forward in tears. I said, teacher, who beat you like this? Tell me! I'll fight them to the death!"

"Not only me, but the six or seven children in the classroom were furious and wanted to kill the person who bullied the teacher."

"We were all twelve or thirteen years old at that time. We were well fed and as strong as calves. If we really put our hands on it, adults might not be able to beat us."

"Teacher Dai kept shaking his head and said..."

"Sorry, I don't know."

"They were standing in the sun, and I couldn't see their appearance clearly."

"Forget it, I just can't let you go when I get back, so hurry up and sit down! I'll teach you another lesson."

"Otherwise, the teacher would not be willing to die!"

"Teacher Dai waved his hands and told us not to cry anymore. He knew he didn't have much time and just wanted to tell us something more."

"But we sent the teacher to the hospital and even went to the doctor in the welfare home. But seeing the teacher's determined look, we had to wipe away our tears and go back to our seats."

"I am the class monitor, and I shouted loudly to stand up. Six or seven classmates stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs...Hello, teacher!"

"Teacher Dai was out of breath. He just sat on the ground and leaned against the blackboard. He smiled and said to us:

Hello students, please take a seat. "

"We sat down and looked at the teacher with red eyes, wondering what the teacher was going to tell us."

"Teacher Dai has spoken softly. Although he was seriously injured, his voice still sounds so strong and calm."

"He said……"

"Students, I didn't have time to prepare lessons. I can only teach wherever I think of it."

"Today, the teacher will teach you about physics, the world, and even the origin of the universe..."

"Light!"
