Hou Peiqing’s growth experience
/p>
At 3:08 in the morning on May 26, when the excited Hou Peiqing turned the steering wheel and decided to let the sports car, which was also in a state of excitement, pass through two taxis, the seven people who were originally scattered in various corners of the city, Destinies suddenly intersected, and they were at both ends of life and death.
Yesterday afternoon, when the Shenzhen traffic police finally found the key screenshots of Hou Peiqing’s driving in a massive amount of videos, Hou’s father was sitting at home in a remote village in Guangxi, chopping bamboo and raising his grandson. That was his entire life. . At the same moment, more than 10 family members of the three deceased people were nervously listening to the description of an accident witness. They have always been unwilling to accept the reality that the mechanic from rural Guangxi with a mediocre income was the culprit who killed his family.
Hou Peiqing, wearing prison uniform, bowed and apologized in front of the camera several times. He said to the victim’s family: “I am willing to do my best to bear all the consequences I have caused. I hope that I can "We have received understanding from people from all walks of life." But in fact, given the financial capabilities of Hou Peiqing and his family, the compensation they may bear is a drop in the bucket.
The family is impoverished and the father and son are strangers
Whatever you want to do is entirely up to you. This is Hou Peiqing’s Weibo description.
He really has no one to rely on. Hou Peiqing, who had changed into prison uniform, confessed to the family of the deceased through the media. He shed tears when talking about his parents, even though he had not seen his father in 11 years.
The 66-year-old father had been away from home for 11 years and only returned home last year. Looking at the large picture of his son in the newspaper, he said several times: I really don't recognize him. I haven't seen him or contacted him in 11 years.
Pinglong Village, Pingnan County, Guangxi, Hou Peiqing’s hometown, is a village far away from the hustle and bustle. The shock wave of the "5.26" traffic tragedy has obviously not spread in this remote mountain village, so much so that when relatives heard about Hou Peiqing's accident, they asked reporters with concern: "Is Ah Qing injured?"
This is where he struggled to leave.
A villager recalled that Hou's father was a gambler and borrowed money from loan sharks at high interest rates. The amount may be thousands of dollars, but Hou's father could not pay back the money. He left home for more than ten years just to avoid debts. In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, when the reporter rushed to Pinglong Village during a heavy rainstorm, Hou's father was safely cutting bamboo strips and weaving bamboo products at home. His biggest task was to take care of his grandson. He didn't seem to care much about what happened to his youngest son. .
The owner of the unfinished second-story house has been jailed
Wearing prison uniform, Hou Peiqing bowed and apologized in front of the camera several times. He said to the victim’s family: “For what I have done, I am willing to do my best to bear all the consequences, and hope to gain understanding from people from all walks of life. "But in fact, the financial ability of Hou Peiqing and his family is a drop in the bucket for the possible compensation.
The Hou family has five brothers and sisters, Hou Peiqing is the youngest, born in 1983. He has two brothers and two sisters. The two sisters are already married and rarely appear in the village. The brothers are also married and have children. The villagers all know that Hou Peiqing's eldest brother works in Guangdong, his second brother makes a living by doing decoration locally, Hou Peiqing repairs cars in Shenzhen, and his mother cooks in a county factory. The village chief said that the family once received subsistence allowances, but as the Hou family's five children went out to work, the family's economic situation improved slightly and they were no longer on subsistence allowances.
The Hou family’s house is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a bamboo forest and paddy fields. The eldest brother's house is very new, a bungalow, 70 to 80 square meters, with three rooms plus a utility room. The room was in a mess. There was only one bed and a long wooden sofa in the bedroom. The sofa was piled with cotton wool and rancid-smelling clothes. There was not even a cabinet to put the clothes.
Beds, tables, chairs and sofas are the only furnishings in this family. Looking through the window, the room was full of torn pieces. It seemed that the owners had a heated argument and then dispersed, just like the embarrassing situation between Hou Peiqing and his son.
The housing conditions of Hou Peiqing’s second brother are even more primitive. There was a small bungalow with blackened walls, accumulated firewood piled at the door, and a small black lock that locked the entire home.
The houses of the two brothers are dozens of meters apart. A new two-story building is being built between their homes. There are two rooms above and below. Father Hou said that the construction of the house started last year.
At present, the main structure of the house has been completed, and there is also a small courtyard. The doors to the courtyard and living room are equipped with fashionable iron gates.
A relative revealed that this house was probably mainly built by Hou Peiqing and his second brother. Many young people who came out of the countryside are accustomed to building houses in their hometowns no matter how far they go. A house, this is the common mentality of migrant workers wandering in big cities. They always feel that they will still return to their hometown.
This new house, partially owned by Hou Peiqing, is still far from completion: the large windows on the second floor have not had time to be installed with glass, the exterior and interior walls have not been painted, and the scaffolding has not been removed. Who knows that the house has not yet been built? It was built, but the owner was imprisoned for recklessness.
Empty Village, Lost Young Man
If Hou Peiqing really had a sports car, he would not be able to drive it back to Pinglong Village. It is about 500 kilometers away from Shenzhen. Starting from Shenzhen, we drove all the way to Cangwu County, Guangxi, and the highway ended. There are still 50 kilometers away from Hou's house. These 50 kilometers are ordinary roads. Large trucks can be seen along the way. Some sections of the road are uneven. Sports cars coming here may be like fishing boats in shallow water and can only be stranded.
The Hou family is still in a more remote place. From the ordinary highway, turn onto a rugged trail and drive about 10 kilometers to reach Houjia. The road is lined with sugarcane groves, bamboo groves and rice fields. On a sunny day, it seems to be a beautiful pastoral scenery, but on rainy days, the road is muddy and watery. Villagers mostly rely on motorcycles, and they have to be careful on the muddy roads.
The village chief of Pinglong Village said that there are more than 3,000 villagers in the village, and the surname Hou is a minor surname, with about 300 people. They live together. There are also particularities in naming. Hou Peiqing belongs to the Qing generation, so everyone of his generation in the village has Qing in their names.
Although the mountain village still retains some traditions, it is still difficult to withstand the impact of the outside world. A villager secretly said that a neighbor of the Hou family was imprisoned for criminal offenses many years ago, and his son was sentenced to five years for robbery when he was working in Dongguan. He has not yet been released from prison.
It is difficult to find young people in the village. Old people gathered in the canteen to play cards, while young children, naked buttocks and dirty clothes, ran around. The village chief said that most young people are working outside, mostly in Guangdong in the early years, but now with the rise of the garment industry in a nearby town called Mule, more and more people are staying to work locally. In fact, walking a hundred miles from Cangwu County to Hou Peiqing’s hometown in Pingnan County, along the way, you can see the high-speed railway under construction, the dug-out mountains and factories under construction, as well as the factories emitting white smoke. This is the economic A sign of development.
He usually abides by the rules and regularly sends money home
“He is actually a decent person and has never violated any rules and regulations in the company. I have also seen him often send money home. " Mr. Luo of Tianhengtai Construction Company commented on his employees. It was precisely because of Hou Peiqing's drunken recklessness that the company's senior executives were involved in "top-paying" rumors.
People in his hometown also gave this young man similar comments. Hou Peiqing, who remains in the memory of relatives, is an honest child. Compared with those naughty children, he does not like to fight. After going out, he would come home occasionally, but he never drove back his car or brought back his girlfriend.
Many people in the village did not believe how this honest young man could be connected with crime. However, they also said that since he graduated from junior high school in 1999 and went out to work in Shenzhen, they had no much impression of him. They only knew that he repaired cars in Shenzhen.
His superb car modification skills are appreciated by his boss
After 13 years in Shenzhen, Hou Peiqing seems to be far away from the countryside. Relatives said that during the busy farming season, only the eldest and second brothers of the Hou family came back to help, and the youngest son of the Hou family was never seen back. He is trying to embrace the city. He longs for a sports car, is quite good at modifying cars, and pays attention to racing information.
At first, he was just an ordinary car repair employee. Later, through hard work, he learned to modify cars and was appreciated by Xu Mouzhou, the boss of Tianhengtai Company. With Xu Hanzhou's funding, he once opened a car supplies store in partnership with others and became the boss himself. His car modification skills still impress people in the car city.
Around October 2010, due to business failure, he defected to Xu Mouzhou and became a team captain in the company. On a daily basis, he still participates in modifying cars from time to time and maintains the company's luxury sports cars. Life seems to be slowly getting better. The sweet moments between him and his girlfriend were recorded on Weibo.
In his Weibo, he showed the temperament of a typical young man in Shenzhen: concerned about current affairs, slightly angry when encountering injustices, and from time to time showing his helplessness about the high housing prices in Shenzhen.
In his 846 Weibo posts, he paid attention to small things in the market such as urban management beating hawkers; he also stepped on the Red Cross Society that was involved in the controversy; he hated forced demolitions and complained about high property prices; he targeted Huangyan He made patriotic remarks about the island incident.
In a Weibo post, he described seeing a monkey charmer abusing monkeys in Buji. He cursed the monkey charmer as a bastard and said he burst into tears over this.
These softness may come from his village. Here, animals and humans live in harmony. The cow was carrying her calf in the rain, and the yellow dog lay loyally at the door. He would bark when he saw a stranger, and when he heard the owner's scolding, he would wag his tail and make a docile snort.
But under the stimulation of alcohol and sports cars, this usually honest young man from Guangxi transformed into a dangerous speedster in the middle of the night.
