Senior Class Three

My name is Shen Chuan.

Ten years ago, I was assigned to Class 17 ([-]) of Nanmo High School.The homeroom math teacher is a knowledgeable man who doesn't talk too much. He wears silver metal glasses in class.When he is not in class, he does not wear glasses, and stares at the people around him with his sharp eyes like a falcon. The unkindness in his eyes can easily make people fearful and unwilling to deal with him.So I often see him eating alone in the school cafeteria, walking through Nanmo's playground, such as Chunlin, alone.

He is also the principal of Nanmo. He never participates in school affairs, and only cares about his math class.No one knew his real name, he only let others call him Teacher Li or Principal Li.

On the first day of school, after the opening ceremony, he personally led us to the location of Class 17 of Senior Three—the far left on the 1th floor of Teaching Building 7.

He forced me to be the squad leader just like I did when I selected the class cadres.I am a person who is used to idleness, and I couldn't bear the constraints, so I said to him on the spot: "Mr. Li, I don't want to be the class monitor, I want to go to class (1) of the third year of high school."

He threw the math textbook on the desk, and the chalk box jumped up, "Shen Chuan, do you know how many people you got in the sophomore entrance exam? The bottom is 75."

Sweeping across the faces of each student, he spoke viciously, "All 20 of you are at the bottom, do you think you can get into Nanmo High School? With your grades, Beiji High School is not unusual.

Also, in the monthly exam after one month, if one of you does not make progress, I will immediately let 20 of you go to the factory without going to school, and all of you will work in factories. "

A few classmates were not threatened by him, and they still went their own way.The English teacher caught the student who was sleeping in class and told Teacher Li.As soon as he heard about it, he rushed into the classroom and slapped that classmate on the face. The classmate was unconvinced and slammed into his chest like a mad cow.He turned slightly away, and went down with his right leg, just kicking the middle school student's inner knee.

The student yelled and hugged his legs and rolled all over the floor.He picked him up easily, like carrying a caterpillar out of the classroom.

A week passed and the student returned to school.His white and chubby face became dark and thin, and the thick pores were clogged with black sticky matter.The originally white hands were rough, and black unknown substances had accumulated in the nails.The classmates asked him where he went for a week.He picked up the pen and cried while writing, "I want to study, and I will never dig coal again."

Later, people in the class were invited to dig coal one after another.When I leave the classroom, my fate is up to me; when I return to the classroom again, I will study hard and improve every day.

One month later, when the results of the monthly exam came down, all 19 people in the class improved their grades, but I stayed where I was.

Teacher Li asked 20 of us to dig coal together and return to the classroom in a week. The 19 students gritted their teeth and scolded me. Teacher Li told the 20 of us to love each other and not to fight.They were so comfortable with the scolding that they took turns to make up for me. From day to night, even when I went to the toilet, someone read ancient poems to me. My toilet paper was also quietly replaced by scratch paper with English words written on it. I tried Once, not only could it not be wiped clean, but it was also painfully worn, and I almost got hemorrhoids.

I don't study, and my classmates are getting more and more excessive.I went to the toilet and took my toilet paper. I squatted for nearly half an hour, my legs were numb, and I glanced at the toilet paper in the trash can. A bold idea was formed.

Should I continue squatting?Or break through the psychological defense line to pursue freedom?

The classmate outside the toilet urged, "Squad leader, you only recited a few sentences of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". After you finish memorizing, I'll give you a tissue."

If I can recite it, I have recited it a long time ago, so I have to wait until now to find another way?

The classmate probably got impatient waiting, I heard his footsteps going away, I took out my cell phone and called my good buddy Sun Wei.Sun Wei is also a student in Class 17. He heard my request and was about to say a few words when another student’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Squad leader, Sun Wei and we are both studying and are very busy now. disturb us."

It is impossible to ask the students in class 17 to help, I am not familiar with the students in other classes.Reaching for the trash can, I close my eyes, then snap them open again, withdraw my hand, and send a quick text message.

Three minutes later, someone approached the toilet door where I was, and there were three tentative knocks on the door.My heart was beating like a drum, and I almost lost my strength and sat down in the pit.

"Shen Chuan, is that you?" There was a female voice outside the door, holding a pack of tissues between her two fingers, and stuffing it in through the gap at the bottom of the door.

I said, "Why are you?" This is the men's room, why is she a girl here?Maybe I was pointed at by other boys. Thinking of this, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You sent me a text message to send it."

"You can ask a boy to send it."

"The only boy I know is you."

"...You go outside and wait for me."

I saw Zheng Rong leaning against the white wall eating a lollipop. She walked over with a smile and handed me an unopened lollipop. "Eat more candy when you are unhappy."

I took the candy, "Where do you see that I am unhappy?"

"Are you happy when you go to the toilet without paper?"

"I took it and it was stolen."

She smiled so charmingly that my heart was beating wildly.Zheng Rong has outstanding looks and excellent grades. She is the object of my crush.She is in the third class (1) of high school, and she is among the best in her studies.The reason why I wanted to transfer to Class Three (1) was also because I wanted to see her all the time.

I said, "You ranked ninth in the city in the sophomore college entrance examination. Why didn't you go to Dongwang High School? Why did you go to Nanmo?"

Her face suddenly turned red, and she turned her back to me, "I'm going to Dongwang to go to school, who will bring you toilet paper?"

"Zheng Rong, I, I like you." I stammered, as if I didn't say what I said.

"You are finally willing to say it." She ran away in a hurry, baring her teeth and claws, like a boy, without any shyness at all.

Soon we fell in love, and Teacher Li repeatedly prevented me from falling in love with her, saying that young people should focus on their studies, so I worked hard to study and fall in love.Under the guidance of Zheng Rong, in the mid-term exam, Zheng Rong was No.1, I was No.2, and my good friend Sun was No.5.

Seeing that my grades were improving rapidly, Teacher Li couldn't use my studies as an excuse to prevent me from falling in love, so he had to find another way and transfer Zheng Rong to Dongwang High School.I saw his despicable means clearly and fought with him, and he sent me to the factory for a month to reform.I did not change my mind, skipped class every day and ran to Dongwang to peek at Zheng Rong. He directly used his power to transfer Zheng Rong to another city.

I was devastated, I don't know where Zheng Rong, who didn't care about other people's eyes, resolutely gave me tissues, went.I couldn't find her, so I scolded Mr. Li every day, scolding him for being inhumane, scolding him for being unloved and painless, and destined to be alone for the rest of my life.

I made trouble for no reason in class, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and sent me to dig coal again, and he didn't let me out until the day before the college entrance examination.

I received a letter from Zheng Rong, she asked me to take the college entrance examination, and we made an appointment to be admitted to the same university.I am full of confidence. Although I have been digging coal for two months before the college entrance examination, Teacher Li finally has a conscience. During the work, he played the recordings of the class, English listening and classical Chinese for me, so that I would not be unfamiliar with knowledge.

On June 6th, the morning after the college entrance examination, I received Teacher Li’s notebook, and I knew all the secrets about Class 10 of Senior Three.

Teacher Li randomly selected 20 poor students, and hoped that we would get rid of the label of poor students through a year of hard work. He revealed to me the college entrance examination results of the whole class in advance, and all 20 students were admitted to key universities.

He congratulated me and Zheng Rong for being admitted to the same university.

I sneered.

Seeing the back, I cried.

I know that Zheng Rong has forgotten me; I know that my good friend Sun Wei is not alive; I know the reason why Teacher Li chose me to survive: you are the most lively and lovely, and you will definitely be able to survive the next ten years.

I can't get over it.

So I eat lollipops every day, grabbing the last bit of sweetness in the world.I have seen too many people die innocently, and I can only save 20 people.Mr. Li saved 20 people at random, and I thought I would save one at random, which is much better than not saving at all.

After a period of ideological struggle, I selected 20 people with the answer "to be with the person I like" to comfort my desire to be with Zheng Rong.

I have the same major as Zheng Rong, and we often attend classes together. I always look at her obsessively. For four years in college, I have watched her for four years. We only talked about some neither salty nor bland topics, no different from strangers.

I finally understood Teacher Li's good intentions.I am doomed to have no chance with Zheng Rong, let alone a husband and wife.After the college entrance examination, she forgot me. If I choose to pursue her, she will forget me again ten years later.I can't be so selfish and let her forget me twice, I'm so frustrated.

In Mr. Li's notebook, there is also a message from my good friend Sun Wei. He said that if something happens to him, he hopes that I will urge Sun Fei to quit smoking on his behalf.Sun Fei started smoking at a young age, and he likes to hide in the toilet and puff up his smoke when he has nothing to do. I have advised him no less than a hundred times, and I even vomited myself.Later, I thought of a way - to secretly rewrite his college entrance examination application.

He was admitted to a normal university, and I became his senior.

I reorganized the third (17) class of senior high school, hired him as an English teacher, and hired Zheng Rong as a math teacher.I invited them here out of selfishness, one for management and one for viewing, to find more things to do for myself, so that in the last year, I will not be cranky.

I seldom intervene in the affairs of class 17 in senior high school, they can do whatever they want.In fact, I always felt that Mr. Li's strict discipline was inappropriate, and when I reflected on my "free activities", I felt that it was also inappropriate.Since nothing is appropriate, let me take care of it once in a while and let them experience what I have suffered - memorizing "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".

The college entrance examination is approaching, and my time is running out. 20 people are carefully selected by me. I hope they can grow old and die, but I can't.I don't want to randomly choose someone to live like Mr. Li, I hope to let them choose by themselves by voting.I can't solve the problem, so throwing it to others might not be a good solution.

From the very beginning, I had planned to keep Wang Ruohan alive and elect him as the squad leader in advance. Among the 20 people, Wang Ruohan, Zhao Shuwen, Fu Yi and Jiu Tiao had a difficult life.Although Jiutiao has been ill for a long time, he has loving parents and a wealthy family.Zhao Shuwen and Fu Yi have no loved ones, but they are in good health. This is their greatest wealth.Only Wang Ruohan, whose parents dislike him and suffers from serious illness, I love him the most.This child clearly loves Zhang Yongqiang, but he always hides his love. He is very similar to me, just like I buried my love for Zheng Rong.

I arranged for the doctor in the infirmary to disclose Li Youmao's condition about Wang Ruohan.Li Youming was most worried about sick people, so he would definitely tell about Wang Ruohan's terminal illness.Out of sympathy, most people would choose to let him live.Moreover, the living are the saddest, and everyone doesn't want to live by themselves. I will add fuel to the flames and let them collectively support Wang Ruohan.

Sometimes I think, if it is the same as Teacher Li, wouldn't it be easier and easier to just choose one person to live?

I feel that it is necessary for me to let them know everything. Instead of dying in a daze, it is better to tell them everything.Unlike my senior three (17) class, in the end only Teacher Li and I knew the truth.

I don't know if I'm doing it right.
