Chapter XXVII
She Du.
Xiangjiang Prison.
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Almost everyone had their heads drooped as they worked listlessly.
The reason was simple.
The time went back to half a month ago.
An old man who was over 70 years old had finally waited for the day he was released from prison.
Because he had been in prison for thirty-five years.
Many of the people who came in one after another recognized him.
Therefore, in the crowd.
He also had a certain amount of prestige.
On the day he was released from prison, many people sent him off and gave him their blessings.
Just when everyone thought that he had left to regain his life.
Something unexpected happened.
He committed suicide!
He couldn't find a job and was too old.
His children did not accept his existence and abandoned him.
Due to various factors, his life was in a dead end.
What kind of concept was thirty-five years?
To him, the streets and alleys were still shabby before he went to prison.
People didn't have a smartphone yet.
Everyone was talking about the black lump.
He even ate coarse grains, and it would take a long time to get an egg.
But now, everything had changed.
Planes flew in the sky and cars ran on the ground.
He didn't understand this, and no one was willing to tell him.
It seemed that the world was no longer accepting him as an outcast of society!
His existence seemed out of place!
Just like that.
He committed suicide.
On a night where no one cared.
He fell next to the trash can and died a miserable death.
But this was the current situation.
In this society, there was too much prejudice against people who had been released after serving their sentences.
As such, this old man, who could have lived a good life for a few days, was deeply crushed.
When the news reached the prison.
Everyone in the prison fell silent.
They would also be released one day. At that time, how much better would they be?
Just like this old man, he was not accepted by society.
He was not even accepted by his family.
In the end, without any source of income, he would starve to death on the streets!
Thinking of this, many people seemed to have lost hope in life.
Negative energy spread throughout the prison.
The prison guard frowned when he saw the situation.
If this situation continued, it was very likely that there would be large-scale psychological problems.
At that time, a suicide would occur.
The situation would be completely out of control.
On this day.
After lunch was distributed in the morning.
The prison guards announced that they were off today!
There was no need to step on the sewing machine.
Usually, at this time, many people would cheer.
However, due to the old man's influence, many people just nodded expressionlessly.
After receiving their meals, they wanted to return to their respective rooms.
At this moment.
The warden appeared.
"Everyone, wait."
"We don't have to work today.”
"Considering that everyone hasn't been in a good mood recently, after discussing with the other prison guards, we've decided to play a movie for everyone!”
Standing on the high platform, the warden smiled amiably and shouted loudly.
But at this moment.
Below the high platform.
Few people responded to his call.
They all lowered their heads.
A burly man frowned.
Hearing that the prison guards were going to organize an event,
He even complained in a low voice," What are you looking at? I don't even know how to live. How can I be in the mood to look at this?"”
Yes, it was.
He was also about to be released from prison, which should have been a very happy thing.
However, he was not in the mood at all.
Ever since the news of the old man spread throughout the prison, he had been depressed.
After all, he had been sitting there for twenty years.
I'm forty years old this year.
He did not have a wife or children, and he still had to support his old parents.
If he couldn't find a job, no one would give him anything even if he was a beggar.
Moreover, he had been out of touch with society for such a long time. He had no idea what he wanted to do.
He thought about the reality he was about to face.
He even wanted to die!
At the same time.
There were many people who had the same thoughts as him.
Other than stealing and robbing, they barely knew how to live.
Facing such a situation, the prison guard did not give up and continued to speak.
"Everyone, relax. Not everyone will encounter misfortune. Today's movie is a surprise.”
"How about this, after eating, everyone should rest for a while. Let's gather at nine o'clock!”
After saying that.
The Warden retreated.
The crowd left in twos and threes.
However, they didn't listen to a single word the warden said.
These people only knew how to stand and talk.
They had decent jobs and clean resumes, so they were not worried about these things.
Not everyone was born knowing that they would commit crimes.
However, it was everyone's wish to live!
He only said that he would bear the karma, but there was no tolerance at all.
People who lived in the light were very happy, but those who lived in the darkness also needed a ray of light.
Every time they heard such high-sounding words, not many people were willing to listen.
Compared to these, they preferred more practical things.
If he really wanted to help them, he could just find them a job. How practical would that be?
Nine o'clock.
Under the lead of the prison guard, everyone gathered in a large room.
The Warden found a projector.
He took out the footage he had obtained from the cinema.
This was the surprise they had prepared for the people.
In this movie, they would not only see old friends, but also hope for life.
Facing the prison guard who had been acting mysteriously for a long time.
Many people did not buy it.
The movie did not start.
Many people had already started whispering.
They had no expectations for the upcoming movie.
"When are you going out?”
"There was supposed to be half a year, but because of my good performance, it became next month.”
"To be honest, do you still want to go out after what happened to Old Man Wang?”
"I don't want to, really. What can I do if I go out? I might end up the same way.”
"Hey, Old Li, I remember that you'll be here in three days.”
"Yes, yes. It's not as warm outside as inside. I've been in this place for twenty years.”
"I don't want to go out either. There's no point in going out.”
"Yeah, my wife ran away with someone else. She went out and lost her home. It's boring.”
"Damn, this movie might be to send me off.”
"Old Li, don't talk nonsense!"
"You can still stay for a year. As for me, this is just a reward for me. After that, I might as well just die!”
……
While everyone was still discussing, the movie had already begun to play.
"Everyone, be quiet. We're starting to watch the movie.”
At this moment, a prison guard shouted.
After that.
A movie began to play on the white curtain.
Everyone stopped talking.
They all looked at the big screen.
After the familiar opening speech, three figures appeared on the screen.
Because their faces were half-covered at the beginning, no one had any reaction.
A few of them were still immersed in the sadness of being released from prison.
He didn't raise his head and only whispered to the few people beside him.
"F * ck, Brother Fan!"
"What? Where?"
"Brother Fan, it really is him!"
"Where is he? Isn't he out of prison? Why are you shouting?”
"No, on the screen, this person looks like Brother Fan!”
"That, that."
"The one who lit the candle just now!"
"D * mn, it's really him. Brother Fan, when did he start filming?”
