After the episode of "Focus on Interview - Internet Addiction School" was broadcast, the ratings reached its peak. Before the interview program ended, countless calls were made to the program team.
The next day, as Lin Shuyue had just entered the newspaper office, she was stopped by Xiao He at the front desk. Lin Shuyue walked towards her and Xiao He took out a bag from the table and gave it to her.
"Ms. Lin, these are your letters. I just brought them back from the mailbox outside." As a newspaper owner, Xiao He would check the company's mailbox before going to work every day.
In the past, there were only twenty or thirty letters a day, but when she checked this morning, the mailbox was full to overflowing, and most of the letters were sent to Lin Shuyue.
Xiao He has been working here for so long, but this is the first time he has seen a reporter receive so many letters!
But thinking about the headlines of yesterday's newspapers and the focus interview broadcast in the evening, it is understandable. The Internet Addiction School has done a great job in advertising. They have invested in TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and flyers, as long as they can reach the public.
Who among the people of Pengcheng doesn't know that there are schools for people to stop using the Internet? But when such a well-known school suddenly had such a problem, everyone was shocked.
The electric shock devices, the dragon whips made of steel bars, and the blatant criminal laws were even more cruel than those in ancient times. The common people who had never seen the world were stunned.
Knowing that this matter was reported by their newspaper, Xiao He was still receiving calls from relatives and friends until after ten o'clock last night, all of whom were asking whether the matter was true or not.
Some of the people who sent their children to schools to stop Internet addiction even called Xiao He and cried. Xiao He had confirmed with his colleagues that they had also received such calls last night.
They had already discussed this matter yesterday. It is said that the advertising department is now thankful that they did not take this advertisement in the first place.
It is said that there are parents who keep calling the TV station to complain!
"Thanks, Xiao He."
"Reporter Lin, you're welcome."
Lin Shuyue felt very novel. It was the first time she had received a letter in her life. She had only seen letters, a traditional way of communication, in her parents' drawers. When she was in elementary school, she used a Xiaotiancai children's watch phone to contact her classmates and friends.
This was the first time she received a paper letter.
She returned to her workstation with a bag of mail.
Then she saw Li Weisheng. Li Weisheng still looked like he was owed a lot of money and rolled his eyes at Lin Shuyue.
During the time when Lin Shuyue was away, he did make a big news story. The story was about a migrant worker who worked for a contractor for more than a year at a construction site in Ping'an District but did not get paid. When he went to ask for money, he was beaten.
This news attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was reported, and sparked a lot of discussion among people from all walks of life. In the end, the worker successfully got his unpaid wages, and Li Weisheng also became very famous.
But his complacency came to an abrupt end when Lin Shuyue returned from her secret visit.
He had originally thought that there would be no news to write since Lin Shuyue had been away for so many days during her undercover investigation. However, he had just been happy for a few days when Lin Shuyue came back with such big news.
Li Weisheng has read the report and the focus interview on Lin Shuyue. It has to be said that Li Weisheng admires Lin Shuyue. At the same time, his desire to win has been aroused!
The two of them entered the newspaper office together, and Li Weisheng had always crushed Lin Shuyue before. Because of this, Li Weisheng always felt superior to Lin Shuyue.
The last time Lin Shuyue caught a murderer, he already felt a sense of crisis, but he felt that Lin Shuyue was just lucky. Duan Taoyong was just a scum who only dared to attack children. How capable could such a person be? Would he dare to commit such a crime if he were an adult?
If Lin Shuyue caught him, it would be pure luck.
Li Weisheng was not convinced! As a result, she made another big news this time! The response was even more enthusiastic than the last time she captured Duan Taoyong! Li Weisheng could not accept the gap between him and Lin Shuyue.
He looked at the bag of letters that Lin Shuyue was carrying, and he swore that he must make a big news story so that readers would send him so many letters!
Thinking of this, he went out with his camera on his back, which made Qian Yongqiang, who immediately walked over to his workstation to flatter him, very embarrassed.
Everyone in the office saw it, and no one sympathized with him. He tried to flattered people around him and tried to curry favor. He wanted to step on anyone who was not as good as him, even if it was an ant passing by. No one in the entire newspaper liked him.
Lin Shuyue didn't even care about Li Weisheng. She felt very surprised that someone wrote to her.
In her previous life, communications were advanced and there were many ways to communicate. Few people used letter writing as a way of communication. It was no exaggeration to say that these letters were the first handwritten letters Lin Shuyue had ever received in her life.
Most of these letters did not have postmarks, and some of the envelopes did not even have the sender's address written on them. It was obvious that someone had come here overnight and thrown the letters into the mailbox. Lin Shuyue's mood suddenly became complicated.
The first letter was written by a girl named Huang Xiaoqin. She said that she also liked to make friends and play games online. Because of her excessive addiction, her parents had decided to send her to a school to stop Internet addiction. Even her luggage had been packed, but after seeing the report written by Lin Shuyue yesterday morning, her parents were shocked and angry and gave up the idea.
Her grandparents came over and had a quarrel with her parents.
Her grandfather even took out the sole of his shoe and chased his father for a long distance, saying that her father liked to play with treasures when he was a child, and he would play for a whole day, and he didn't want to eat or drink. At that time, they didn't want to send him to others for instruction, so why did they want to send her to others for instruction when it came to her matter?
Does she have no father or no mother?
In the end, her father was no match for her grandparents and was quickly defeated. Her father even apologized to her.
Huang Xiaoqin thanked Lin Shuyue at the end of the letter. She felt that the report Lin Shuyue sent out had changed her life.
Lin Shuyue finished reading the letter with a smile. The existence of this letter made Lin Shuyue feel that everything she did was meaningful.
She is not a savior, nor is she a god, but what she does can change the fate of others. In her opinion, even if it is only one person, it is worth praising!
When she put the letter back into the envelope, she saw a note inside. Lin Shuyue took it out and unfolded it. On it was a person's name and a flourish of thanks. From the name, it turned out that the person was Huang Xiaoqin's father.
Lin Shuyue put the letter back carefully. After thinking for a while, she took out some letter paper from the drawer of her workstation, wrote a reply to the girl named Huang Xiaoqin, put it in an envelope, wrote the delivery address and put it aside.
She continued to open the letter.
If the first letter made Lin Shuyue smile, then the second letter would bring the smile back to its original state.
This letter was written by a boy who graduated from the Internet Addiction School. He introduced himself in the letter, saying that his name is Xiaogang. In the letter, he described his experience at the Superior Internet Addiction School and the changes he experienced after graduating from the school.
He didn't like to talk anymore, and he didn't like to go out. He didn't want to see anyone, especially his parents. When he saw his parents, he would feel uncontrollable resentment and despair in his heart.
But he had to face them. Every day in front of his parents, he played the role of a well-behaved, obedient and sensible son.
Because if he is not well behaved, his parents will say they will send him back to the Internet addiction school.
He is studying very hard now, and he is about to graduate from high school. His teacher said that he can get into college, but he doesn't want to go. He wants to go out to work after graduation and get his ID card, anywhere, as long as he leaves this home and this city, and never come back.
He said that where his parents were, even if the sun was shining brightly, he felt like he was living in a space covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
Finally, he wrote this: After I came back from the Internet addiction school, my parents and relatives were very happy with my changes, and their friends said they would send their children there for reform. I told them about my experience at the school, but they didn't believe me and said I was lying. My parents scolded me and said I had made them lose face.
They were extremely angry, and I was afraid of being sent away, so I didn't dare to continue talking. I kept the incident that happened in the Internet Addiction School a secret. I was a coward, but you did what I couldn't do. Thank you for exposing the Internet Addiction School, so that fewer people will suffer in the future.
Lin Shuyue felt heavy-hearted after reading it.
She opened other letters. Children who had been in the Internet addiction school wrote about their experiences there, the changes they had experienced after returning, and their determination to escape from their families. Many of them had even attempted suicide.
In addition, some of these letters also said that they wanted to send the child to school for reform, accused Lin Shuyue of fabricating facts, complained to her about the hardships of raising a child, and accused Lin Shuyue of being self-righteous. What's more, some even cursed Lin Shuyue that even if she gets married and has children in the future, the children would still be so disobedient.
Of course, such letters are a minority. In most of the letters written by parents, they thank Lin Shuyue. They thank Lin Shuyue for the report, which prevented them from making a big mistake.
Lin Shuyue replied to the letters of the children who had graduated from the Internet addiction school one by one, and then put these new items into the return bag. It was already noon time to get off work. Lin Shuyue did not go to the cafeteria to eat. Now she was in urgent need of some heavy-tasting food to sustain her life. The food in the cafeteria was too light and could not satisfy her.
She sent the reply letter she had written while she was out for dinner.
Li Mingfang also wanted to go out and improve her diet, so the two of them went out together.
As soon as the two of them left the door of the building, they were stopped by someone. Lin Shuyue turned around and saw that the person who called her was Ah Hao. The wound on his face had not healed yet, but his hair had been recut and was no longer uneven like before in the Internet Addiction School.
Ah Hao ran towards Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ah Hao to come to see her.
Li Mingfang looked at Ah Hao's face and asked tactfully, "Is this your brother?"
Without waiting for Lin Shuyue to speak, she continued, "Since your brother is here, I won't go with you. I'm going to go over there and have some fried rice. I'll just eat with Zhang Yue from Shengda Trading next door."
Zhang Yue from Shengda Trading, who was walking in front of them, stopped when she heard her voice.
"Okay, I'll buy you a coffee when I'm free." Lin Shuyue said to Li Mingfang. Li Mingfang made an OK gesture and walked lightly with Zhang Yue.
After she left, Lin Shuyue walked towards Ah Hao and asked, "Why are you here? Are your injuries healed?"
Ah Hao smiled at Lin Shuyue obediently: "This injury is nothing serious. I'm much better now. My grandma knows that it was you who helped me get out of there. She prepared dinner at home and asked me to invite you home to eat."
Ah Hao thought of his grandmother who went out to buy groceries early in the morning and felt a little embarrassed: "She insisted on thanking you, and I couldn't stop her. She also gave me an ultimatum. She said that if I didn't invite you back, she wouldn't let me into the house anymore."
The last sentence was obviously made up by Ah Hao himself.
Lin Shuyue looked at Ah Hao, who was scratching his head embarrassedly, as if this experience in the Internet addiction school had no impact on his life.
She said, "Okay, but you have to wait while I go to the post office to mail some letters."
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."
The post office is not far from the Dingsheng Building where the newspaper is located. Just cross the road and turn the corner.
The journey was not boring. Ah Hao told Lin Shuyue about his life after he came out of the Internet addiction school without her asking. He focused on his mother who sent him to the school.
"The police called her last night. It was already midnight and she came to pick me up. It was fine since the police were there. She didn't say anything and even thanked them. But after she came out of the police station, she started swearing at me."
"She felt that I had brought shame upon her. Her and her later husband were also second marriages, and his previous children were all very outstanding, either getting into very good universities or studying abroad."
"Compared to them, I was a loser. Not only did I skip school, I also spent every day in Internet cafes. She said that when she mentioned me to her husband, she felt her face burning and she felt ashamed to face others."
"She's old, and after being married for so many years, her next husband wouldn't let her have children. She accepted her fate and wanted to take me in to take care of her in her old age, but I'm not very presentable, so she said there was no other way but to send me to a school to get rid of my internet addiction."
"She also told me that it didn't matter if this school was closed, there were still schools in other cities, and she would contact me in the next few days and send me there when the time comes. I must reform myself, so that her husband will like me and leave me more property in the future."
When Ah Hao talked about his mother, his cheerful appearance in front of Lin Shuyue just now suddenly changed. Thinking of his mother's calculating look, his expression became sarcastic.
He added: "How can I listen to her bullshit? What does her husband's wealth have to do with me? Am I unable to live? Why am I thinking about his money?"
"I turned around and went back to the police station and asked the police to call her husband in front of her. Her husband was also a well-known figure, and he called her back on the spot."
"I never thought about going back to live with her. If it weren't for my grandmother's concern, I wouldn't have let her into my house."
"My grandmother said that from now on she will no longer have any hope in that woman. This morning, that woman came to see me, but my grandmother didn't let her in and chased her away with a broom."
Lin Shuyue listened quietly, and then when passing by a store, she bought an ice cream and shared it with him.
Ah Hao ate the cool ice cream and looked at the sister who saved him from hell. He felt that both his body and mind were healed.
After sending the letter, Lin Shuyue said to Ah Hao, "I received a lot of letters today. Most of these letters were written by students who graduated from the Internet Addiction School. Some of them have been trapped in the shadow of the Internet Addiction School, while others have already walked out and have expectations for their future lives."
"Ah Hao, you are still young. Internet addiction school is just one of the many experiences in your life. Let it go and look forward. There is still a long time to go. You will encounter many, many things. There will be good and bad things. Don't let this matter trap you."
"It's about turning this thing into nourishment for your life."
Ah Hao's eyes turned red in an instant. He felt that the experience in the Internet Addiction School would follow him for the rest of his life.
In the two days since he came out of the Internet addiction school, he has been dreaming about it at night. The instructors are holding rulers and dragon whips, and Xiao Changxin is holding irons and electrotherapy devices. They are trying to catch him with bared fangs and claws, and he can't escape no matter what he does.
He would always be awakened in the middle of the night and would not be able to sleep the whole night, keeping his eyes open until dawn. In order not to worry his grandmother, he did not dare to show it.
For his grandmother, he had to move forward step by step. But it was too difficult. Those days and memories were like a monster, always catching up with him and biting him when he was not paying attention.
His soul was bitten and bleeding.
He held up his hand to cover his falling tears. After a while, he ate the ice cream in big mouthfuls and said to Lin Shuyue, "The sun is so bright today, it's blinding."
Lin Shuyue did not expose him, and the two went to Ah Hao's house in Wujiao Village.
Ah Hao's grandmother had already prepared the meal and was waiting. When she saw Lin Shuyue, she stepped forward and enthusiastically took Lin Shuyue's hand and said, "It's you, little girl. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Ah Hao would have committed many sins."
As Ah Hao's grandmother said this, she was about to kneel down to Lin Shuyue.
When Ah Hao's grandmother thought about the injuries all over her grandson's body when he returned, tears fell from her eyes.
She lost her husband when she was young, her son when she was middle-aged, and her daughter-in-law also left her young grandson. She raised Ah Hao by herself, and it is no exaggeration to say that Ah Hao is her life!!
Since last year, she felt that her health was getting worse, but Ah Hao was still young, and she was worried about him being left alone in this world. If something happened, there would be no one to talk to.
So when Ah Hao's mother came back to recognize Ah Hao, she suppressed her disgust for this former daughter-in-law and let her in. She did this because she also wanted to leave Ah Hao with a relative who cared about him.
Who would have thought that she would let Ah Hao suffer so much just because she was soft-hearted for once! She hadn't slept well in the days since Ah Hao left her. Ah Hao came back with this injury. She really hated herself for being useless and unable to protect her grandson. She hated herself for being unable to stop Ah Hao's mother from sending him to this crappy school!
The more guilty she felt, the more grateful she was to Lin Shuyue for rescuing Ah Hao.
How could Lin Shuyue let her kneel down? "Grandma, I am really ashamed of what you said. Ah Hao helped me a lot."
Lin Shuyue couldn't get into the infirmary. Her every move was watched by the instructors at all times, and there were people on duty in the infirmary forty-eight hours, so it was difficult for her to get close. If it weren't for Ah Hao, it would take Lin Shuyue a lot of time to get those images.
"Grandma, I'm hungry." Ah Hao was not used to this kind of situation where both parties thanked each other, so he interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Ah Hao's grandmother immediately said, "Reporter Lin, are you hungry too? Come in quickly, I have already prepared the meal."
Grandma Ah Hao took Lin Shuyue to the living room. The table in the living room was already filled with delicious dishes, including boiled chicken, roast goose, fried clams, and a plate of crispy and shiny stir-fried cabbage hearts.
"They are all home-cooked dishes, please don't be disgusted by them, reporter Lin."
"How could that be? These dishes look delicious. I have to thank you, grandma. You don't know, the food in our unit is terrible. It's the same three things every day. Occasionally, if we go late for a snack, there's only soup left." Lin Shuyue said this sincerely.
"Then come to my house for dinner more often. It's not far away anyway. I'll ask Ah Hao to pick you up then."
As soon as the two of them sat down, Ah Hao came in with a bowl.
Grandma Ah Hao introduced herself to Lin Shuyue. Her surname was Fang, and she asked Lin Shuyue to call her Grandma Fang. She also called Lin Shuyue Ah Yue in a familiar way.
Ah Hao had already served the rice and placed it in front of the two of them.
At the dinner table, Granny Fang talked a lot to Lin Shuyue, and Lin Shuyue also found out that Ah Hao always skipped school to go to the Internet cafe because he took a job as a game leveler to make money online.
"I used to be in good health and could earn some money. But as I got older, my health got worse and worse. I could only grow some vegetables and sell them at the entrance of the village to earn enough to live on."
"Ah Hao is sensible and feels that I work hard, so he found a job like this for himself. He makes a lot of money, and my medicine money depends on him. He also does not fall behind in his studies. If it were not for this, I would not let him hang out in the Internet cafe all the time.
When Granny Fang said this, she looked at Ah Hao with an especially proud look in her eyes. She couldn't understand how his mother could bear to send such a good child to such a place. Even after he escaped from there, she wanted to send him to another such school for the second time.
Ah Hao is her flesh and blood! Ah Hao is her only child in this life! How could she be so cruel? Granny Fang didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.
"Grandma, I really envy you for having such a good grandson. I think Ah Hao will definitely have a bright future, so just wait and enjoy the good life!"
Lin Shuyue's words made Granny Fang smile: "I am enjoying myself now. It would be even better if he could focus more on studying and get into a good university in the future and come back to show me."
Lin Shuyue looked at Ah Hao, who smiled at her and promised his grandmother: "Grandma, I won't go to the Internet cafe anymore. I will listen to you, study hard and make progress every day, and get into a good university in the future to bring honor to you."
Ah Hao knew that when he used to go to the Internet cafe every day, and the villagers laughed at him a lot. Some people even went to her grandmother to gossip about her. Ah Hao thought that when his mother came to see him, she must have heard those things.
He didn't care about what others said before, as long as he and his grandmother lived well. Now his mind has changed.
Grandma Fang glanced at her grandson and then smiled: "Then reporter Lin has to testify for me. If you don't keep your word, I will be angry."
"Okay, I'll testify."
Just when the atmosphere was joyful, there was a knock on the yard door. Ah Hao's face darkened. At this time, at this point, the only person who would come to his house was his mother who was only taking care of herself.
Granny Fang looked at him and said, "Go open the door. If she comes again, just use the broom to beat her out! She's already married, and has nothing to do with us anymore."
Ah Hao listened to Grandma Fang's words very much. Although he was still reluctant, he still stood up and went in with a sullen face. But after opening the gate, he instantly became happy: "Why are you here?"
Lin Shuyue turned her head to look outside and saw that the person coming was Zhou Bingrong, holding a basket of fruit in his hand.
When Lin Shuyue saw him, she remembered what he said in the infirmary that night. She had to admit that this kid named Zhou Bingrong was a bit funny.
"Not welcome?" Zhou Bingrong didn't care about Ah Hao's answer at all and immediately continued.
"My mother is on a business trip again, and my father is staying in the hospital and not coming home. I'm bored at home, so I came to play with you." Zhou Bingrong walked into the house in front of Ah Hao very familiarly.
Ah Hao closed the door.
When he saw Lin Shuyue, he exclaimed, "Ah Hao, you have a guest at home. Is this your sister? She is so beautiful."
Ah Hao's eyes fell on Lin Shuyue's face for a long moment, and then he raised the corners of his lips unconsciously: "You don't know her?"
Zhou Bingrong rolled his eyes at him: "What are you saying? If I knew such a beautiful sister, how could I forget her?"
When they were rescued, Zhou Bingrong kept repeating in his ear how much he admired the dormitory manager who saved them from the fire pit.
He was like this just after getting rescued?! Thinking back, he felt that Sister Yue was familiar when he first saw her!
Ah Hao immediately felt refreshed!!
Only he knew Lin Shuyue's true identity! When he looked at Zhou Bingrong now, his eyes had a sense of superiority.
Zhou Bingrong didn't understand what was wrong with Ah Hao, but that didn't stop him from being attentive to his beautiful sister.
He had no other thoughts about Lin Shuyue. After all, Lin Shuyue looked several years older than him.
He simply likes good-looking people, regardless of gender. When he sees a pretty or handsome boy or girl, he wants to talk to them and make friends with them. This is also one of the reasons why he is friends with Ah Hao. After all, Ah Hao is not ugly.
Granny Fang had already met Zhou Bingrong and was very familiar with him, so she asked Ah Hao to add more bowls and chopsticks for Zhou Bingrong. Zhou Bingrong was not polite and picked up the food with chopsticks to eat.
His family has a nanny who cooks for them, and her cooking skills are just so-so. Ah Hao's food is still the best! To be more hypocritical, Zhou Bingrong feels that his family's food tastes like home!
With the addition of this funny guy, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively. Both Grandma Fang and Lin Shuyue were amused by Zhou Bingrong.
Ah Hao disliked Zhou Bingrong a little, but there was nothing he could do about it since it was his own fault for not being so sweet-mouthed.
Lin Shuyue was going to work in the afternoon, and Ah Hao insisted on sending him off, and Zhou Bingrong also wanted to follow.
Watching Lin Shuyue go upstairs, the two teenagers started walking back.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Bingrong said to Ah Hao, "This morning, Zeng Xiaoyi sent me a message saying that her parents were very unhappy with her, even though they didn't know what the instructor had done to her. Her parents still felt that she was a disgrace, and her mother told her to die."
"Her mother said that because she was disobedient, her relatives and friends knew that she was sent to an internet addiction school. Everyone accused her parents of being cruel. Her parents care about their reputation the most, so after being accused, they took out their anger on her."
At the hospital, more than 80 students had already exchanged contact information. After Zhou Bingrong received Zeng Xiaoyi's message, he came to find Ah Hao.
The girls who came out of the Internet addiction school knew about what happened to themselves, but they didn't tell anyone.
No one said a word about their special experience.
Everyone unanimously kept this secret for the girls.
These boys only suffered physical pain in the Internet addiction school, but the girls' experiences were much worse than theirs!
They don't have the ability to protect them in school, but outside, they don't want to be the abuser.
But there are still some parents who are unaware of what the girl has gone through and still speak ill of their own daughters.
"If it really doesn't work, let her come out and find a job here, it's better than staying at home." Ah Hao said.
Zhou Bingrong put his hands behind his head and said, "That's what I told her. The specifics will depend on her choice."
For the first time, Zhou Bingrong showed a mocking smile on his face: "Some parents are really not fit to be parents."
"Just like my parents. After I was born, I never drank their milk for a day. They sent me to my grandmother's house. I didn't see them once a year. When I was three years old, they left me to the nanny. Sometimes I didn't even have enough food to eat."
"After a lot of hard work, I grew up and their positions were promoted, so they set their sights on me. They began to think that I was disobedient and that I didn't meet their expectations in any way."
"Ah Hao, I don't care about their belated concern, and I don't care about them sending me to that kind of place under the pretext of doing it for my own good. I will never forgive them."
"Ah Hao, I've made up my mind. I will study hard and go to college as soon as possible, then become independent and leave them. Don't they think I'm hopeless? Then just treat me as dead. If they want an obedient son, give birth to one again as soon as possible."
The two young men sat side by side, talking about their future path.
Before going to the Internet addiction school, they had never thought about their future, but after leaving the school, they already had a vague plan for the future.
•••••
Lin Shuyue returned to work, turned on her computer and searched for the definition of Internet addiction and psychological problems among teenagers.
After reading it, she started writing the report.
The term Internet addiction was originally a joke by a psychiatrist in the United States. He compared the definitions of alcoholism and gambling addiction and made up seven diagnostic criteria, including "fingers will consciously or unconsciously tap the keyboard", claiming to have discovered a new type of mental illness. However, due to controversy, in 1997, the doctor personally admitted in front of the media that this was a joke he made on a lifestyle forum. In fact, there is no such disease.
Since 1995, the psychiatric community in the United States has conducted a large amount of academic research on "Internet addiction". In the end, they believe that Internet addiction is not a disease, but a manifestation of "impulse control disorder" in Internet users. Just like TV disease and air conditioning disease, it is a psychological habit caused by long-term exposure. It is a psychological problem rather than a disease.
However, the diagnosis made by the academic community in Country M was of no use to the statement of the person who first proposed this disease. Some people with ulterior motives copied his seven-point diagnosis report back to their country, and as a result, Internet addiction officially became a disease in many countries!
Speculators saw business opportunities, and various institutions sprang up.
Some of them don't even have the formal qualifications to run a school. They don't know how to teach, they only use beating, scolding and threats to intimidate the children. Beating the children makes them scared, they get money, the desire to abuse like an emperor, and the parents get a well-behaved and obedient child who dares not refute them.
So both parties were very happy, and no one cared about the child's wishes and health.
It is important to condemn these schools, but don't the parents also have to be held accountable?
They only use the old standards to demand their own children. They had a hard life when they were young, so they think that today's children should feel happy and grateful for themselves for creating a good life for their children because they have enough food and clothes.
They think that children are their "personal property" and that this "personal property" must grow according to their ideas. They feel that they have the power over the life and death of this "personal property".
They have never thought about what era they were in and what era they are in now! After the reform and opening up, the country has developed rapidly, and it is becoming easier and easier to make money. As long as you are diligent and have hands and feet, everyone can have enough food. It is different from when they were young, when they worked from the beginning of the year to the end of the year but could not even have enough food.
They can't open their eyes to see the changes in this world, and they cover their ears to not listen to the sounds of this new world.
They also don't accept new things. When their children play on the computer, they say that their children are addicted to the Internet, but they never mention themselves sitting in front of the TV for two or three hours, nor do they mention themselves sitting in front of the card table for an entire night when they are not working.
Chinese parents always believe that there is no wrong parent in the world. Take the group of people who sent their children to the Internet addiction school this time, for example. No matter how guilty they are, how many people can apologize to their children like Huang Xiaoqin's father who wrote the letter?
If you can count ten, it's considered a lot.
Therefore, this time, Lin Shuyue pointed the pen directly at the parents of these children.
She decided on the title: [ "Shocking! Parents are the accomplices behind the Internet addiction school!" ]
Lin Shuyue edited and revised the report and only sent it to Wang Mingzheng when she was almost getting off work.
After Wang Mingzheng opened the report and read it, he sat in his boss chair and smoked two cigarettes in silence. Finally, he sighed softly and gave Lin Shuyue's report the front page, but not the headline position.
Before getting off from work, Wang Mingzheng called Lin Shuyue to his office and shared his joy with her: "Xiao Lin, the report you wrote, 'Internet addiction school is a concentration camp', was reprinted by Yangcheng Daily and will be published on the front page tomorrow."
For a small newspaper like Pengcheng Metropolis Daily, there are very few reports that are reprinted by official media in a year. In just less than a month, there are already two articles. How can Wang Mingzheng not be happy?
He is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but the newspaper does not belong to him, he is just a manager who gets dividends. These are all his achievements!
However, as a leader, Wang Mingzheng was so happy that he did not forget to make big promises to the outstanding juniors he favored: "Xiao Lin, you have a talent for being an investigative reporter! I like you very much. If you work hard, you will get a promotion and a raise."
Lin Shuyue was not tempted by the big promise made by the editor, but she was very happy that her professional ability was recognized by her senior.
Especially when she get home at night and see the report about the Internet addiction school in the Yangcheng News.
And this matter is far from over.
As soon as Lin Shuyue's article targeting parents with unqualified children was published, it was reprinted by major media outlets. The name Lin Shuyue appeared in the journalist circle of Guangdong Province for the first time.
After publishing this article, she received a lot of letters. Most of the letters were from parents whose lungs were punctured. Some tabloids even published articles refuting her in order to increase sales.
Lin Shuyue was not afraid at all. Whenever an article came out, she would publish a report to compete with the other party.
Her actions and her real-time online confrontation with others also opened the eyes of the onlookers in Pengcheng. The name of the reporter Lin Shuyue entered the public eye! Even the media in other provinces published this wonderful war of words.
Then Lin Shuyue discovered that the classmates of the original owner, who had not contacted her for 800 years, had all appeared. Not only on Penguin, but also on the phone, and the text messages increased.
Lin Shuyue thought about it and replied one by one. If they had a good relationship with the original owner, she would reply more sincerely, and if they had a bad relationship with the original owner, she would reply more perfunctorily.
On the fifth day after Lin Shuyue graduated from the Internet Addiction School, she was still debating with scholars in the newspapers every day.
Public opinion about the Internet addiction school has reached its peak, and Internet addiction treatment schools in other cities have also exposed the same problem. Many schools are even more serious than the Superior Internet Addiction Treatment School in Pengcheng.
There are many cases of students being killed or injured! Some were settled by the school leaders with money, while others have been insisting on seeking justice for the children, but because of the "protection umbrella" of the school leaders above, their voices have not even made a splash.
Among them, the most serious incident was at the Longtan Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School in Jiangxi Province. Their good child was deceived by the leaders of the Longtan School and died in two days. In order to prevent them from being held accountable, the school directly cremated the student, and the parents did not even see him for the last time.
Over the past year, the student's parents have persisted in petitioning, but to no avail. In order to prevent them from leaving the province, the local leaders even hired someone to watch over them!
This incident caused a big stir. The central media sent reporters from all over the country to visit local Internet addiction schools, and then compiled these reports into a book, using several programs to talk about this "disease"! Countless heads of Internet addiction treatment schools were arrested.
The protective umbrellas that provided them with various conveniences were ordered to be strictly and thoroughly investigated. The leadership team of Longtan County, Jiangxi Province, from the village head to the county head, were all within the scope of strict and thorough investigation.
The state urgently issued policies to regulate special schools. Major psychiatric experts have expressed their views on the disease of "Internet addiction" in the media, dispelling the rumor that "Internet addiction" is a mental illness.
Authorities in psychology have also published articles on the psychology of adolescents during puberty.
Such a change made Lin Shuyue very happy. She knew that as long as there was a market, schools like Internet Addiction School would change their names and titles, and there would still be countless parents waving money to send their children to suffer.
Her personal abilities are limited, but she will try her best to do what she can.
On the last day of the half-month period, Lin Shuyue's good and evil discrimination system, which had been silent for a long time, finally started to move: [ Ding!! Congratulations to the host, the limited-time task: 'Visit the Internet Addiction School and make it public' has been completed. ]
[ Ding ~~~ Task settlement in progress, please wait.... ]
[ Ding ~~~ Mission completed, host gains health value x30 days, points 300. ]
[ Ding ~~~ Congratulations to the host for winning 1 box of Variety Candy and cash reward X500. ]
There were five more red bills in her bag, and Lin Shuyue was in a good mood.
Lin Shuyue was very satisfied with the extra 30 days of life. Next, she read the introduction of Variety Candy.
Seeing this, Lin Shuyue was extremely surprised.
The effect of this versatile candy is very magical. After eating this candy, her disguise will be made more realistic!
Take this undercover interview as an example, she disguised herself as a 40-year-old aunt, but her figure and voice could not be disguised. But if Lin Shuyue ate a candy after putting on this makeup, her figure and voice would change accordingly.
This is simply tailor-made for her! With this candy, her safety will be more guaranteed when she goes on secret visits in the future.
But after the initial joy, Lin Shuyue still followed her original plan and found a dubbing teacher for herself.
In her previous life, she had not learned how to disguise her voice in the disguise course. She did learn it online, but she only learned the basics and was far from being able to successfully disguise different voices.
This undercover visit to the Internet addiction school clearly revealed her shortcomings.
Lin Shuyue's father, Comrade Lao Lin, taught her since she was a child that a blacksmith must be strong himself.
Lin Shuyue agrees with this statement. She feels that the good and evil distinction system is only a tool for her and she cannot rely on it too much. Otherwise, if the good and evil distinction system leaves her one day, her life and work will fall apart!
For this purpose, Lin Shuyue even made a special call to the original owner's university teacher, Professor Bai.
Professor Bai is a particularly kind old teacher. He had already read Lin Shuyue's report. When Lin Shuyue called him, his attitude was very good. After hearing that Lin Shuyue wanted to learn dubbing knowledge, he introduced an expert to Lin Shuyue.
What's even more coincidental is that this expert settled in Pengcheng.
Lin Shuyue successfully got the address and decided to visit on Saturday when she had a day off, then packed up and went home with Li Mingfang after work.
Because Lin Shuyue has been spending more time in the office these days, she and Li Mingfang have a particularly good relationship.
Li Mingfang is known for her gossip, no matter if it's about the newspaper or the surrounding companies, she can tell you everything. When Lin Shuyue is talking to people online, she listens to Li Mingfang's gossip and feels that her life is very happy.
After strolling around the night market, buying some snacks and two pieces of clothing, Lin Shuyue walked home in the evening breeze.
Pushing open the door, she saw a middle-aged woman standing in the yard, hanging clothes on the clothesline under the grape trees.
Hearing the noise, she glanced at her, then turned back to focus on her own things: "Are you back? Have you eaten? Your sister left some food for you when she went out."
Lin Shuyue looked at Lou Fengqin carefully. Lou Fengqin didn't look like her mother in her previous life, but at this moment, Lin Shuyue felt that they looked very similar, especially the way she looked at her, which was 100% similar.
It was full of concern and love, and the gaze on her was as gentle as if bathing in the spring breeze.
Lou Fengqin is very thin. She is over 1.6 meters tall and weighs less than 90 kilograms. She has thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets due to being thin, but her skin is fair and her hair is black.
Lin Shuyue was a little surprised. She thought that life was so hard that the original owner's mother would look older than her actual age. Unexpectedly, time treated her particularly well.
She looks to be in her early 40s at most, two or three years younger than her actual age. And despite going through many hardships, her eyes are still clear and resolute.
Lin Shuyue walked in with a smile: "Mom, when did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"
Lou Fengqin's voice became a little gentler as the evening wind blew her: "You're not a stranger. Why do I need to call you when I get back?"
Lou Fengqin looked at her second daughter, wrung out the last piece of clothing and hung it up: "We should have come back a few days earlier, but your uncle Wu wouldn't let us go and insisted that we attend their family recognition banquet, so we came back late."
"As soon as I got home, I heard your sister praising you, saying how amazing her sister is. I was very curious, so come and tell me about it."
Lin Shuyue obediently followed Lou Fengqin into the house. Lou Fengqin poured a cup of tea and Lin Shuyue sat beside her. Just like in the original owner's memory, she told her about what she had encountered during this period.
Lou Fengqin was a very patient listener. No matter what the original owner said, she would listen quietly and seriously. She was never like the parents nowadays who would get angry or anxious while talking, and then lecture or scold their children in a panic.
She would only praise the original owner when she got good grades, and encourage her when she didn't do well. She would reason with her when she didn't want to study, and when she had a conflict with her sister, she would appease both sides instead of asking the older one to give in to the younger one.
She missed her son who was abducted when he was young, but she also did not neglect her two daughters.
She did the hardest and most tiring work, and divided the money she earned into three parts: one part for household expenses, one part for her two daughters' education, and one part for finding her son.
No one is being favored.
Maybe because she had seen too many bad parents in the past two days, Lin Shuyue felt that a mother like Lou Fengqin was truly amazing.
She feels that if being a parent also requires taking an exam, then Lou Fengqin would definitely be the best one, while those parents who, for the sake of their own face, wantonly hurt their own children under the banner of "for your own good" would definitely not even pass the exam.
Lou Fengqin was exhausted from the journey, so after paying attention to her second daughter, she went back to her room to sleep, while Lin Shuyue waited until Lin Shuxing came back before going to sleep. This was already a tacit understanding between the two sisters.
Lin Shuyue did not sleep well that night. Her mother, who had not appeared in her dreams for a long time, came to see her. She was wearing a neat police uniform and stood with her father. They touched her hair and said with satisfaction: Ah Yue, you are our proud child wherever you are. Mom and dad will always be with you, come on!
Lin Shuyue had tears in her eyes while she was sleeping, but there was a smile on her lips.
When she woke up again, she thought about what her parents said in their dream and felt her chest swelling and warm.
After a long time, she withdrew her thoughts and turned around to find a newspaper lying quietly beside her pillow.
This scene seemed familiar. Lin Shuyue seemed to be aware of something and picked up the newspaper to read.
[ "Uncovering the 'Yihaorong' Group and Restoring the Evil Path of the 'Three Siblings'" ]
The characters illustrated in the newspaper were Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong, who looked more mature and angular, and an extremely cool and beautiful woman.
There is no doubt that this is another newspaper from the future.
