As soon as they go to work in the early morning, the sound of "ding ding ding bang" can be heard in the factory of Yiqing Food Group in Daxing District, Beijing. Workers are unloading baskets of empty glass bottles from trucks and moving them into the warehouse. Each glass bottle has a white polar bear printed on it, with three Chinese characters at the bear’s feet: Arctic Ocean.　　

?

Arctic Ocean is a time-honored brand of Beijing’s native orange soda.For Beijingers, Arctic soda is like White Rabbit toffee for Shanghainese and Wufangzhai zongzi for Jiaxing people. It is a brand that can evoke deep nostalgia.It was born in 1950 and flourished in the Beijing beverage market for a while, but it disappeared after the 1990s.　

　

Like many old brands, Arctic Ocean has experienced a long period of loneliness under the wave of China’s economic transformation and state-owned enterprise reform. During this time, the market is surging with Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite, Mirinda… In 2011, when the Arctic Ocean, which had disappeared for 15 years, reappeared, some people said that "all Beijingers should celebrate this."

As soon as the Arctic Ocean soda went on sale, it was welcomed by consumers in Beijing.

Synonym for soda

?

Every older Beijinger has a story about the Arctic Ocean. Back then, in the summer, there was a large block of ice in front of the common corner grocery store, and the Arctic Ocean soda was lying on the ice. The boss sat on the side, turning the glass bottle from time to time to make the soda chill more evenly.　

　

A few children who had been playing wildly outside for half a night ran over and bought a few bottles of soda. They raised their necks and drank it "Gudong Gudong", while not forgetting to stroke the soda one by one from left to right with their oblique eyes. After a row of soda was turned over, the bottle in their hands just finished drinking, the children deliberately burped and laughed at each other. After returning the empty bottle to the store, they continued to sprinkle girls outside.　　

?

A dime – in his fifties, Li Qi still remembers the price of the Arctic Ocean in his youth.Today, he is the general manager of Beijing Yiqing Food Group, in charge of two brands of Arctic Ocean soda and Yili bread. Li Qi is a native of Beijing, with a burly figure and a loud voice. When he goes to work, he always likes to walk around the workshop, see the empty glass bottles shipped back one by one, cleaned and disinfected, refilled with soda, and shipped to various places "Ding Ding Bang".　　

?

What a friendly voice, it once rang in the large and small hutongs of Beijing, causing countless children to lose their homework and make a lot of effort. In the 1970s, in the most glorious years of the Arctic Ocean, it became almost synonymous with soda.Wang Xuliang, an electrician who has worked in the Arctic Ocean for nearly 40 years, said that at that time, the people who picked up the goods were waiting in the workshop, and the tricycles carrying soda were lined up from the factory to the street.　

　

Li Qi was less than 20 years old at the time, and had just been assigned to another time-honored food factory in Beijing, Yili Bread. Yili was founded in Yuyuan Road, Shanghai in 1906, and moved to Beijing in response to the call of the "prosperous capital" in the early days of the founding of New China. Like Arctic soda, Yili Bread also enjoyed the glory of giving up one’s name in the Beijing market at the time.

Vanishing Brand

?

But times have changed. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978 put forward the strategic decision of "reform at home and opening up to the outside world." Deng Xiaoping said: "The current world is an open world."　　

?

At that time, Li Qi, who had just entered the factory, was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. Like his co-workers, he was proud to be an employee of a state-run factory. In the bakery in Yili at more than 40 degrees Celsius, he used his hands wearing two layers of heat-insulating gloves to remove the bread molds from the oven, and then knocked the baked bread one by one from the mold upside down. After finishing this string of work, the heat-insulating gloves were hot, and his hands trembled lightly. He adjusted the gloves back and forth, and continued to remove a batch of bread from the oven. When the day’s work was over, a bottle of Arctic soda was the best comfort.　

　

Coca-Cola entered China in the same year that Mr. Li entered Yili. At first, the Chinese didn’t seem to like the taste of traditional Chinese medicine. But soon, everyone began to see the tricks of foreign soda. Every weekend, in major shopping malls in Beijing, Coca-Cola employees hold colorful balloons marked with the Coca-Cola logo and sell to customers, buying a bottle of Coke for 50 cents and giving away a balloon or a pair of packaged chopsticks.

　　

The promotion caused a lot of shock. Some newspapers immediately issued articles criticizing the practice, saying that the practice "invades China and introduces the capitalist way of doing business."Soon, the order came from above: Coca-Cola can only be sold to foreigners in China, and "one bottle is not allowed to be sold to Chinese people."　　

?

Li Qi, who was still a bakery worker at the Yili Bakery at the time, realized that change was really coming, and the ban was probably unbearable. Sure enough, within a year, the ban was lifted and Coca-Cola was allowed to resume domestic sales. Two years after Coca-Cola entered China, Pepsi followed. In the following years, foreign companies flocked in. In the Beijing market, the dominance of the Arctic Ocean is in jeopardy.　　

?

In 1994, Chinese companies set off a wave of joint ventures. The government brokered a joint venture between Arctic Ocean and Pepsi Cola. Across the country, there are six other famous beverage factories: Shenyang Bawangsi, Tianjin Shanhaiguan, Qingdao Laoshan, Wuhan Bridge, Chongqing Tianfu Cola, and Guangzhou Asia Soda. They wanted to expand their operations with foreign capital, but they gradually drowned in the wave of foreign soda and gave up the Chinese soda market.The industry later called it the "flooded seven armies" incident.　

　

Soon after the partnership between Arctic Ocean and Pepsi, the brand was "frozen". After more than a decade, it was difficult to find Arctic Ocean soda in the market. Six other domestic beverage brands were also abandoned by Coca-Cola and Pepsi one after another. Only years later did the domestic business community understand that this was a strategy for international companies to eliminate local competitors.

?

Return of righteousness

?

The Yili Bakery, where Li Qi was working at the time, encountered a similar dilemma: First, it established a joint venture with the international giant Nabisco to establish "Yili-Nabisco". After a few years, the word "Yili" in the company’s name disappeared, and a few years later, Yili Bread also stopped production. In 1992, The Beijing Evening News published a letter from a reader with the headline "Where Did Yili Bread Go?"After reading Li Qi mixed happiness, sadness is the national brands disappear one by one, happy is that people still miss them.　　

?

There was also a piece of news at that time, which in a way that made people laugh and cry, pinned the thoughts of Beijingers for time-honored brands. In 1995, the industrial and commercial bureaus of Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Chongwen and other districts in Beijing received reports one after another, saying that the Arctic Ocean soda sold in the market was mixed with fish and eyeballs. After searching for thousands of bottles of counterfeit Arctic Ocean, the industrial and commercial law enforcement officers followed the lead and found a regular beverage factory located on the outskirts of Beijing, and found a large number of Arctic Ocean soda and empty bottles in the workshop and warehouse. In the ingredients room, the law enforcement officers saw two bottles of soda with color labels and the words "Pepsi-Arctic Beverage Co., Ltd." on the lid. One was real and one was fake. The law enforcement officers asked the beverage factory manager, what happened? The factory manager mumbled out a few words: This bottle of real Arctic Ocean is a counterfeit specimen. He admitted that the fake Arctic Ocean was customized according to the requirements of the wholesaler.Despite the start of spring and the cooler weather, the beverage factory sells hundreds of cases of counterfeit Arctic Ocean every day.　　

?

At this time, the genuine Arctic soda factory has been shut down. In the old factory building at Shazikou outside Yongding Gate, the dust is full of machines, and in boredom, there are occasional chats of workers. Wang Xuliang, an electrician, said: "More than 2,000 workers have been laid off, and only a few of us are left. We stay behind to watch the factory building, and by the way, we repair the staff dormitory." In a few years, even the old factory building has been demolished, and the office buildings that have risen on the original site have nothing to do with the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean has disappeared, leaving only counterfeits to flaunt and newspapers to conjure souls.　　

?

After reading the newspaper news, Li Qi made up his mind to get the time-honored brand back. In May 1995, with the start-up capital of 500,000 yuan given by the factory, he started a "third industry" business in an old factory building of 300 square meters outside the South Second Ring Road. Still making bread, more than a dozen people are responsible for their own profits and losses. Li Qi named the product "Righteous King".

?

Yili came back from the dead. In 2001, Li Qi’s bakery merged with another factory and was renamed "Yili Bread Factory". In the following decade, Yili’s classic products, fruit bread and vitamin bread, occupied hundreds of shopping malls and supermarkets in Beijing. In 2012, the self-operated chain "Centennial Yili" appeared on the streets of Beijing.　

　

The next comeback is the turn of the Arctic Ocean.

Looking for "Original"

?

In 2011, Coca-Cola’s 15-year license to operate the Arctic Ocean brand expired, which meant that the Arctic Ocean was lifted and could be returned to the market. A few years later, when Chongqing Tianfu Cola, which was destroyed by the "Seventh Army of the Drowned" at the same time, returned, a local newspaper described the scene:"The base color of the spray painting is gray like a Holocaust memorial, with some mottled black on it, and the four red characters of’Tianfu Cola ‘are printed on it. This is a rare comeback ceremony with a strong tragic atmosphere."According to reports, the background music of the event that day was "My Chinese Heart". Domestic beverage brands have been lost for nearly 20 years, and international brand beverages are overwhelming. The comeback of time-honored brands looks tragic and lonely.　　

?

Li Qi, who had been making bread for half his life, was ordered to take over the Arctic Ocean under such circumstances.　

　

When the Arctic Ocean returns, the first thing to do is to restore the original taste. The heart of the drink lies in the formula. The most legendary in the industry is Coca-Cola, which has been kept secret for more than 100 years since its inception in Atlanta in 1886. It is said that its handwritten secret recipe is hidden in a bank safe.　　

?

In Beijing in 2010, Li Qi dug out the archives kept by the technical department from the warehouse. The recipe for the Arctic Ocean is handwritten on white paper and packed in a blue plastic folder.Notes on the folder: storage period, permanent; classification, secret.　　

?

The ingredients are water, carbon dioxide, orange juice concentrate, sugar, additives and orange oil. What makes the Arctic Ocean special is orange oil. It is cold-pressed and separated from the peel of oranges and is a natural flavour and colouring agent. It is the most precious part of oranges. A ton of oranges produces only 6kg of oil. The source of the orange determines the quality of the orange oil, which in turn determines the taste of the soda.　　

?

In the past, the Arctic Ocean used to purchase the "Dahongpao" red oranges produced in Wanzhou, Chongqing. More than a decade later, when Li Qi led his technicians to Wanzhou, the original orange production area has changed, and the processing plants they used to cooperate with have long since disappeared. They traveled all the way west, and finally settled in Nanchong, Sichuan. Nanchong is located in the shallow hilly area of the upper Jialing River, with water quality of Class II, and the "Dahongpao" produced is of good quality.　　

?

The raw materials were determined, but the research and development did not proceed smoothly.The soda prepared according to the "secret recipe" is not the original taste, and it is even "hard to drink".There are countless factors that affect the taste of food: raw materials, air, water, equipment, workers… After more than ten years, these factors have changed. Naturally, the taste of the debugged soda will also change.　　

?

The old formula has failed. In addition, the properties of soda are also difficult. Technicians found that orange oil is insoluble in water. The general method is to use emulsifiers, but small amounts cannot be dissolved. Large amounts affect the taste.

?

Rebuilding the Arctic Ocean is far more than just a picture of the gourd.

Rebuilding the Arctic Ocean

?

While he was tuning his soda recipe, Mr. Li was looking for soda production equipment. The original Arctic company was gone, the team was gone, and the production line was gone, leaving an old brand empty. At an industry fair at the Beijing International Exhibition Center, Li Qi was struggling to find equipment when an elder next to him said: "I’m from the old Arctic Ocean."　　

?

Li Qi looked at the old man in front of him. He was about 60 years old and tall. His name was Ma Qian. He entered the factory in 1972. At that time, the Arctic Ocean was still called the Beijing People’s Food Factory. Once in the factory, he was assigned to the soda workshop to deal with machines. In the 1980s, he went to Iraq to assist in the production of local beverages. He worked for Pepsi Cola there for two years and was exposed to advanced Italian and German machinery.　　

?

After returning to China, Ma Qian was promoted to director of the Arctic Ocean workshop. He couldn’t figure out how the joint venture between Arctic Ocean and Pepsi at that time."I’ve been in charge of the equipment in the workshop. At that time, when it was said that you were from Arctic Ocean, no matter where you went, people knew you. Arctic Ocean is very well run, and there is no need to partner with others. I don’t understand the approach after the joint venture. There is no hope for this brand."He quit his job and opened a factory in Tongzhou to produce beverage equipment.　

　

When he met Ma Qian, Li Qi had just taken over the Arctic Ocean, but he had already heard of this old workshop director and skilled technician. "I’ve heard of you, let’s talk." Li Qi said.　　

?

Knowing that Li Qi was going to recreate the Arctic Ocean, Ma Qian said: "I learned my skills in the Arctic Ocean now, and all the technical training was sent by the Arctic Ocean. What I know should be given back to the Arctic Ocean for free." This coincidence not only prompted Ma Qian to become a new shareholder in the new Arctic Ocean, but also a senior consultant in solving technical problems of equipment.　

?

Mr. Ma’s company supplied Arctic Ocean with pre-equipment such as ingredients and refrigeration. In addition, Arctic Ocean also imported a production line from Nanjing Light Industrial Machinery Group (hereinafter referred to as Nanqing). Nanqing has an unusual connection with Arctic Ocean: it once provided the first production line for the old Arctic Ocean to imitate Japan’s Mitsubishi, and the current chairperson was an apprentice of Arctic Ocean in the 1980s. So, like Ma Qian’s equipment, Nanqing’s production line has the genes of the old Arctic Ocean from the beginning. The equipment solves the problem that has plagued Li Qi before – that orange oil is insoluble in water. The new process uses a high-shear emulsifier to split the orange oil into tiny ions, which are then matched with a suitable amount of emulsifier.　　

?

The imitation journey took half a year. Li Qi had forgotten how many formulas he had tried, the only thing he remembered was the strict taste review after each development.Each time a recipe is developed, it is first tasted by three technicians, and then given to a team of dozens of people. This team is made up of people who have drunk the old Arctic Ocean and people who have worked in the old Arctic Ocean.When the last batch of experiments came out, Ma Qian supported his master, the first generation of Arctic employees, to the factory to determine the final taste. Master picked out a bottle and said, "This is it."　　

?

Then things went smoothly: Li Qi hired young designers with overseas study experience to redesign the polar bear logo in the Arctic Ocean. The new logo has a traditional shadow but is more flexible.　

　

Sales channels are not difficult to choose, but those mom-and-pop stores that are scattered all over the hutongs.These mom-and-pop shops, often only a few square meters in size, penetrate deep into Beijing’s capillaries but are ignored by big dealers.The Arctic Ocean soda that is deep in everyone’s memory was once displayed on the large ice cubes in front of these small shops.　　

?

On a sweltering August morning in Daxing, Li Qi watched as workers moved boxes of empty glass bottles back into the warehouse overnight. "How much did you sell last month?" he asked.　

　

"3.30 million boxes," Hu Zhiyong, the head of storage, replied.　　

?

On another 37-degree-Celsius sauna day, Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded at Hu Zhiyong.He forecasts that his goal of selling 800 million yuan this year is promising.　　

?

Twenty kilometers away, on the streets of downtown Beijing, thirsty passers-by opened a bottle of Arctic Ocean, "Gudong Gudong" was just a few bites, and a burst of orange fragrance lingered in the throat for a long time. "It’s still the smell!"　

　

Only Li Qi and his friends know that the Arctic Ocean is no longer "original".

　　Yesterday, Xiaowu, accompanied by his father, came to the ward of Yang Dongling, a female teacher who was burned by his arson, and apologized to her.

　　13-year-old Xiao Wu’s letter of apology

　　"Dear Miss Yang:

　　Sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you. Besides, you are still a people’s teacher who has never met me and has no holidays. I regret that I hurt you. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t do anything illegal, and I wouldn’t hurt you. I’m sorry, Mr. Yang. I wish you a speedy recovery, restore your previous appearance, and go back to your previous education for those students in the mountains, so that they will not follow my example and become pillars of society and talents of the country. Miss Yang, I’m sorry. "

　　Xiao Wu, a 13-year-old woman teacher, has been kept at home by her father since she burned Yang Dongling with gasoline. Yesterday morning, Xiaowu followed his father to visit Yang Dongling in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from Jinchuan County.

　　Yesterday morning, in the face of the excited family members of the injured, Xiaowu walked beside Teacher Yang Dongling, kept silent and took out a pre-written letter to express his apologies and guilt. However, it is a pity that although Yang Dongling said "I want to see him (Xiaowu)", she failed to see Xiaowu clearly in the end.

　　face

　　Father stayed at home with him for two months.

　　This time, I took him to Rong to visit the female teacher.

　　On the afternoon of August 13th, Li Dong changed a shirt and left home, ready to go to Chengdu to visit Teacher Yang Dongling who had just finished the first skin grafting operation.

　　There is a line in the movie "mr. six": "What you have caused will be rounded up by yourself, and what you can’t round up by yourself will be rounded up by his father". This line, as Xiaowu’s father, has no more empathy than him. After the incident, he visited Yang Dongling in the hospital and spent more than 80,000 yuan on medical expenses. Then, he didn’t go out to work again, and stayed at home with Xiaowu almost all day. If he wants to go out, he will chain Xiaowu’s feet. However, unlike the first time he visited Yang Dongling alone, this time he called his son Xiaowu.

　　"I kept him at home for two months. I don’t know what to do, only let him watch junior high school textbooks and the legal program of CCTV Channel 12. "

　　Li Dong said, let the children take a look at the burned teacher Yang. First, let them see how much harm he has caused others, "let him face everything in front of him"; The second is to express apology and repentance. "If the family members of the injured are emotional, I can understand even if I can’t stand it."

　　After changing his shirt, he asked Xiaowu again, "Do you want to go?" Xiaowu bowed his head and said nothing. Li Dong didn’t force the child. Half an hour later, Xiaowu nodded: "I want to go."

　　Before going out, Li Dong’s mother stopped him. "Take the 3000 yuan I saved some time ago." Li Dong replied, "I have already taken it."

　　During the nearly 9-hour journey, the father and son didn’t say a word. The little military commander faced the window and his eyes turned up and down with the mountains and rivers. The outside world made him curious.

　　The last time he went to Chengdu was last year, when he stole thousands of dollars from his grandmother, went to "rush" with several friends for ten days, and finally came back down and out.

　　repent

　　The juvenile ward took out an apology letter

　　Regret not reading it to Mr. Yang’s face.

　　When I arrived in Chengdu last night, it was already 11 o’clock in the middle of the night, and my father and son stayed in the hotel. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning, the two came to the burn ward of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. The more I went to the hospital, the heavier Xiaowu’s expression became. "My relatives told me that many people on the Internet said they would shoot me, and some even said they would take me to prison."

　　When he arrived at the hospital, the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily asked him if he would like to meet the teacher Yang Dongling who was hurt by him. He nodded. "I want to go." As soon as she entered the ward, Yang Dongling’s mother recognized Li Dong, who had been to the hospital. When she saw Xiaowu hiding behind Li Dong, she froze, her face turned black, and she cried and said, "Come and have a look for yourself. What have you burned people to? How can you do it? ！”

　　Xiaowu was at a loss and stood nervously in the corner. Yang Dongling’s sister and aunt excitedly pushed Xiaowu to the bed with their hands, and uncovered the shroud on the bed, so that the teenager could go to the bed and see clearly the "consequences caused by himself". Opening the shroud, Yang Dongling, who had just finished skin grafting, was covered with medicine on her upper body and had no complete skin on her face. Xiaowu stood by Yang Dongling’s side, maintaining his inherent expression since he was locked at home for two months.

　　"You go! You go! " In the face of Xiaowu, the emotional Yang family said. Xiaowu remained silent. He took out a letter and put it on the table beside the hospital bed, and then moved out of the ward step by step.

　　Li Dong is still standing at the bedside, facing the accusations of the Yang family alone. "I didn’t ask them to forgive me. I just came to see Teacher Yang, indicating that we don’t care about not coming forward."

　　Xiaowu wrote in his letter: "Dear Teacher Yang, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you. Besides, you are still a people’s teacher who has never met me and has no holidays. I regret that I hurt you. If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t do anything illegal, and I wouldn’t hurt you. I’m sorry, Mr. Yang. I wish you a speedy recovery, restore your previous appearance, and go back to your previous education for those students in the mountains, so that they will not follow my example and become pillars of society and talents of the country. Teacher Yang, I’m sorry. "

　　After coming out, Xiaowu said that the letter was written at home before coming. He is a little regretful that he didn’t tell his faith to Mr. Yang’s face.

　　regret

　　"Where is the doll? I want to see him."

　　The teacher read the letter of apology and failed to see the teenager.

　　"For more than two months, you haven’t been here, and you haven’t got a phone call." Yang Dongling’s aunt pushed Li Dong and accused him of not educating his son well. After the incident, she even evaded her responsibilities and rarely visited him. Li Dong always explained in a low voice that he didn’t discipline his son Xiaowu, and his family was really difficult. He didn’t raise much money, and his son didn’t come until he needed to take care of him after the accident. As he spoke, he took out the 3,000 yuan in cash he brought. "You get it first, and I will continue to find a way after I go back." However, Yang Dongling’s mother, who was unable to restrain her grief, refused to accept the money, and Li Dong half-kneeled the money into her hand.

　　"We all understand that he said it was difficult for him to go back and find a way, but if they were sincere, they wouldn’t wait until today." Aunt Yang Dongling said that in recent months, the three of them have been taking care of Yang Dongling, and Yang Dongling always vomits when she can’t eat, which is worrying. Considering Yang Dongling’s illness and family mood, Li Dong didn’t stay for long.

　　Yang Dongling in the hospital bed looks very calm. Because Yang’s family was emotional, Xiaowu couldn’t walk close to the bed, and Yang Dongling didn’t see Xiaowu because of the shroud. After Xiaowu and his father left, Yang Dongling suddenly said to her sister Yang Dongxia, "Where is the doll? I want to see him." The Chengdu Business Daily reporter immediately gave her the apology belief left by Xiaowu. A moment later, she struggled to spit out a sentence: "Show me the words." The reporter held the letter of apology in front of her. She read it carefully line by line, more than 100 words, and read it for nearly 1 minute.

　　"Call him, I’ll wait for him." When a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily asked why he wanted to see Xiaowu, Yang Dongling was silent for a moment. "I want to hear him read (apology letter)". At her insistence, the family members also agreed that Xiaowu would come back and said that they were no longer excited. But at this time, Li Dong, who had just experienced the excitement of the Yang family and accused him of being on his way home, took care of his son’s safety and didn’t want to take Xiaowu back. At 9 o’clock yesterday morning, Yang Dongling, who had been lying all night, also needed to turn over with the help of her family, so it was not convenient to see Xiaowu.

　　"No, I’ll go to see him." Dong-ling Yang whispered.

　　Female teacher

　　Where’s the doll? I want to see him

　　After Xiaowu and his father left, Yang Dongling suddenly said, "Where is the doll? I want to see him."

　　The reporter of Chengdu Business Daily immediately put Xiaowu’s letter of apology in front of her. She read it carefully line by line and read more than 100 words for nearly 1 minute.

　　"Call him, I’ll wait for him." When the reporter asked why he wanted to see Xiaowu, Yang Dongling was silent. "I want to hear him read (apology letter)." However, at this time, Xiaowu has set foot on his way home with his father.

　　"No, I’ll go to see him." Dong-ling Yang whispered.

　　A broken family in a remote county leads a astray life.

　　Growing fragments of arson teenagers

　　Questioning the cause of Xiaowu’s arson, we can see the weakness of a county boy whose temperament changed greatly after his parents divorced, and who was led astray by others because of his weariness of learning and ignorance. Xiaowu claimed to know it was a mistake, but when he was instructed by "Big Brother", he chose to listen.

　　At 9 o’clock on the evening of June 14, after hiding in Jinchuan County for 24 hours, he was found by his father, who called the police station: "I found the person and sent it to you." Xiaowu didn’t resist.

　　His family broke up and he became dull.

　　On the night of arson and robbery, Xiaowu stayed in a hotel for one night, afraid to go home or tell anyone. He knew that he had made a big mistake.

　　Jinchuan County is located in the southwest of Aba. Like many remote counties, teenagers like Xiaowu can be seen everywhere on the street. Xiaowu’s home is in Lewu Township, which belongs to Jinchuan County. Since school, his family has changed, and he has lived with his father and grandmother since then.

　　After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, cracks appeared in Kotakeya’s house, and my father and grandmother later built a new house together. But the new home didn’t live for a long time, and Xiaowu’s parents’ feelings broke down. Xiaowu became dull, and his parents didn’t want to communicate with him more. Since the third grade of primary school, Xiaowu has learned to skip classes. "I ran out after school, and my home was full of streets." Xiaowu’s grandmother, Li Yunshu, said that once she went to the street to look for her grandson, a neighbor pointed out of the city and said, "Your grandson goes to that temple every day." She rushed to the temple and saw Xiaowu kneeling in front of the Buddha statue. "He asked the Bodhisattva to bless him. Mom and Dad should not divorce." For a long time, as soon as school was over in the afternoon, he and a classmate ran to the temple. Now that his parents have been divorced for almost six years, he is used to living without his mother. For the harm caused by divorce to his son, Xiaowu’s father, Li Dong, only explained it simply by "not getting along with his wife". Speaking of the disaster of Xiao Wuchuang, the 36-year-old man kept sighing.

　　Began to be obsessed with online games and learned to skip class and not go home.

　　Xiaowu, who had no parents around for a long time and was only taken care of by his grandmother, began to be fascinated by the online game of crossing the line of fire.

　　Grandma Li Yunshu gave him two yuan to buy breakfast every day. At night, she found her grandson in the Internet cafe. For her, the way to discipline her grandson is too limited, and there is no other way but to tell her a few words. In her eyes, the introverted grandson also has a grumpy side. Considering that Xiaowu’s parents are divorced, his relatives are particularly concerned about him. Before he graduated from elementary school, he used his smartphone. "On one occasion, he felt that his mobile phone was slow to respond, so he picked it up and threw it on the ground. In the past few years, I have broken several mobile phones. " In order to prevent his son from surfing the Internet in Internet cafes, Li Dong bought a computer for Xiaowu to play at home. However, the computer was damaged by Xiaowu less than a year after it was bought. Xiaowu’s uncle was going to buy him another one, but Li Dong refused.

　　Hanging out with unemployed young people was arrested for stealing.

　　Li Dong believes that his son’s troubles have long been buried in his wandering life.

　　In Li Dong’s view, he and his son have lived in this remote ravine since they were born. He said that he had always known that his son had been mixed with some unemployed young people in society since he entered junior high school. A neighbor often sees Xiaowu and a group of young people wandering around the square and teahouse in the county. What impressed Li Yunshu the most was that she went to school in the afternoon to send a schoolbag to her grandson. The students had already entered the school gate, and there were two young people with yellow hair at the school gate. "What’s the use of studying? Now I can earn 1800 a month by working." She didn’t expect that Xiaowu, who arrived late, went to the front of two young people and talked for a few words, then left together. She gave a cry and Xiaowu started to run.

　　Last year, Xiaowu, who had just entered junior high school, began to steal. He is with his companions. When he runs out of money, he tries to steal. He likes to steal cash and mobile phones. First, it is easy to steal. Second, mobile phones sell well. Li Dong said that once, Xiaowu was caught by the police and brought back for investigation. Wherever he went, it was like parading in the street.

　　After setting fire to the female teacher, Xiaowu wrote in a fact sheet that the other party asked him to pay off the debts that everyone usually owed in the restaurant. Because he had no money, the other party asked him to rob him. Except for two of his friends who were apprentices in barbershops, all of them had no proper jobs and lived on credit and theft in the county town.

　　After the incident, I left home and wanted to go out to work with my companions.

　　Since junior high school, Xiaowu likes to drink beer in a bar in the county with some young people four or five years older than him. The excitement brought by alcohol made him experience the joy of adult life, and it was from this time that he began to understand the outside world.

　　Last year, Xiaowu stole several thousand yuan from his grandmother and took a bus with several companions to Longquan, Chengdu, in order to "go to work". As a result, after spending all their money in Chengdu Zoo and Happy Valley, the group took the shuttle bus back to their hometown. In his view, I really want to go to Chengdu to work, but I didn’t find a suitable job. I wanted to "work early to earn money and stop being wronged."

　　One afternoon after the incident, Xiaowu left home and trotted along the hillside, trying to find a companion to work in Chengdu and escape from the place where he made a mistake. On the same day, Li Dong arrested him. After that, whenever Li Dong went out or cooked in the kitchen, he chained his son in the house.

　　Now, Xiaowu’s family has given up watching TV for entertainment, but only transferred to CCTV Channel 12 every night to let Xiaowu "watch legal programs and study law."

　　On the evening of August 13, a suspect in a detention center was broadcast on TV. Xiaowu watched it for a while, looked away from the TV screen and was silent for a long time.

　　When I saw Mr. Yang in the ward, he left an apology letter and never spoke.

　　"It’s no use saying sorry when you’re scared."

　　"I still want to come." Although he went to the hospital to visit Teacher Yang Dongling and was accused and taught by his relatives, Xiaowu told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter afterwards. On the way home, Xiaowu had a simple exchange with Chengdu Business Daily reporter.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: Are you worried that visiting Teacher Yang in the hospital will affect her and her family’s mood?

　　Xiaowu: (Nodding)

　　Chengdu Business Daily: Why did you promise to come? Do you regret it?

　　Xiaowu: No, I just want to have a look at Mr. Yang’s injury and know that I have made a big mistake.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: Aren’t you afraid that they will beat and scold you?

　　Xiaowu: (silent for a moment) When I saw the fire burning that night, I didn’t want to live.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: What are you afraid of?

　　Xiaowu: At that time, I knew something was wrong. When I saw Teacher Yang rolling on the ground, I was afraid to go home. Later, relatives came to my house every day to scold me, saying that many people on the Internet said they would shoot me and put me in prison.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: You never spoke in the ward. What was the reason?

　　Xiaowu: I’m scared. I feel sorry is useless.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: How do you feel after seeing Teacher Yang?

　　Xiaowu: I have a bad fever. After seeing Teacher Yang personally, I feel that I can feel better for a few days.

　　Chengdu Business Daily: What do you want to say to Teacher Yang now?

　　Xiaowu: Sorry, I hope she will recover soon. I wrote a letter to her, hoping that she would read it.

　　Teenage gasoline burns female teachers.

　　Grab his Apple phone.

　　At 9: 00 pm on June 13th, in a residential courtyard in Jinchuan County, a 13-year-old boy Xiaowu (a pseudonym) threw a bottle of gasoline at Yang Dongling, a 23-year-old female teacher on her way home, and then took out a lighter. The fire instantly wrapped Yang Dongling. In pain and cry for help, Yang Dongling fainted at the scene, Xiaowu took the opportunity to grab her Apple mobile phone, and the residents of the community then dialed 120… …

　　According to the doctor of the provincial hospital, Yang Dongling’s burn reached the third degree standard and was diagnosed as extremely severe burn. At present, she has completed some skin grafting operations, and the wounds on her face and head have gradually healed. However, the deep burns on her chest, back, thighs and neck can only be recovered after continuous removal of dead meat and skin grafting, and most of her fingers may be amputated due to necrosis.

　　Xiaowu is a junior one student in a local middle school. He said that he thought of robbery because his playmate asked him to give some money. Two days after the incident, Jinchuan county police blocked Xiaowu. Because the 13-year-old boy did not reach the age of criminal responsibility, Xiaowu was brought home by his father the next day. At present, Xiaowu’s father has paid Yang Dongling more than 80,000 yuan for treatment. Xiaowu’s father said that his son Xiaowu followed him after he divorced his wife five years ago. After the incident, the father and son were basically at home every day. "I stayed at home with him every day."
