Chapter 783
Han Qingsong nodded slightly, “Teacher Fan is a sensible person. I would actually like to ask you the real reason why you were sent down to the labour camp.”
To be honest, a lot of the files were written by people with little to no education at all. Some people just wrote random documents, which sometimes made the readers’ teeth hurt after gritting them for so long.
Fan Yikun was arrested and sent to a labour camp on the charge of embezzling student meal expenses.
It was such a nonsense charge that Han Qingsong, an outsider, couldn’t believe it.
Fan Yikun said, “My crime is due to my inciting students to pursue the ideas of capitalism.”
He explained that, in other words, students were encouraged to study hard. They were to focus on learning and not be too indulged in politics or formalism. His academic means conflicted with several teachers and school leaders. For example, he emphasised Chinese studies but wanted the children to learn foreign languages as well. For that, he was criticised for wanting to restore the country and pursue capitalism. At a time like this, such actions were a serious crime and could be labelled as rebellion.
Han Qingsong looked at him steadily, “Teacher Fan, if I may ask, have you ever written the words Dear Comrade Jiang, Jie or Shi”?
Fan Yikun’s expression changed as he shook his head and sighed. It was as if this topic was a stain that he didn’t know how to explain.
