South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

In the blink of an eye, it is March 5th and classes have already started at Kyoto University of Political Science and Law. Today is already the ninth day of school.

In an office on the third floor of Building No. 1, Kyoto University of Political Science and Law.

Yuan Mu sat in front of a middle-aged man who was about fifty years old and had some graying hair.

This middle-aged man is a professor in the law department. His name is Wu Guangzhou. He is 56 years old this year. He has been studying law for most of his life, but he was also persecuted that year in that turbulent era.

After being rehabilitated in 1977 or 1980, he returned to his old profession and became a professor of law at Kyoto University of Political Science and Law. Today he called Yuan Mu here because of a paper written by Yuan Mu.

This paper was summarized by Yuan Mu based on the two school bullying cases he handled in Ningyang before. It is not appropriate to call it a summary. He integrated it by drawing on some memories from his previous life. It is called "On the Legal Lack and Response to "School Bullying" in Contemporary China."

Throughout the paper, Yuan Mu elaborated on the causes, processes and results of the two cases he handled that year. He also explained how he responded at the time and pointed out that the current law does not have adequate supervision in this regard.

School bullying is something that has been around for a long time and has always existed, but this problem has never been fundamentally solved. Those two cases touched me deeply at that time.

When writing the final report, he repeatedly proposed to supervise and stop this situation, but there was no better solution.

"Student Yuan Mu, did you write this yourself?" Wu Guangzhou raised his head, pointed at the paper in his hand, and asked Yuan Mu.

"Yes, Professor Wu, I wrote it myself." Yuan Mu nodded.

"Well, I have read your personal information. You used to be a criminal policeman of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch. The two cases in the paper were handled by you personally. To be honest, these cases were shocking to me. A few children actually had such vicious thoughts." Wu Guangzhou nodded and sighed.

"Professor Wu, I think that a person's goodness or badness depends on many factors, including family factors, environmental factors, and education factors. I think the occurrence of these two cases is likely related to their original families."

"It is said that if a child is not well educated it is the fault of his father. I think this is quite true. The reason why these children have such vicious thoughts has a lot to do with the fact that the adults in their family did not educate them well." Yuan Mu continued.

"Well, what you said makes sense. I read your paper and it's very well written. Many of the ideas in it are very novel, especially the term "bullying". I remember that this term first appeared in Norway."

"This was proposed by a Norwegian scholar in 1978. It seems that you read a lot of books." Professor Wu said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment." Yuan Mu bowed slightly.

"To be honest, you are an excellent person. I thought that your ability to handle cases was only reflected in your ability to handle cases, but I didn't expect that your excellence in academic research is not inferior to your ability to handle cases."

"Actually, I didn't want to praise you, but it would be really insincere if I didn't praise you." Professor Wu looked at Yuan Mu, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

"Professor Wu, I really don't deserve your praise. If you praise me again, my tail will be so high up in the sky!" Yuan Mu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Haha! You kid." Professor Wu laughed.

"In fact, I noticed you a long time ago. After all, it's impossible for a person of your rank not to notice you. You solved a big case before you even started school, and the top leaders personally issued an article praising you. There are almost no students like you."

"Later, you entered school and studied very hard. You studied almost all the time. I was very pleased with your spirit."

"I didn't think too much about it. Since I'm here at school, I have to study hard. I still have a lot to learn. I guess I'm just an early bird."

"Haha, if you are a fool, then what about others? Yuan Mu, you are too modest. Being overly modest is not a good thing!"

Yuan Mu and Wu Guangzhou had a very pleasant chat this time. Later, Wu Guangzhou simply asked Yuan Mu not to call him professor, but to just call him teacher. Yuan Mu agreed.

Although Yuan Mu was not Wu Guangzhou's first student, he was definitely Wu Guangzhou's first student since the college entrance examination was opened.

After all, it has been less than four years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the first batch of college students have not graduated yet, so he naturally has no graduate students.

Wu Guangzhou told him that he could come over whenever he had any questions and he would be there to answer his questions. If he encountered something he was unsure of, they would discuss it together. Their friendship was formed at that moment.

Time flies. Four months have passed in the blink of an eye and it is July now.

Kyoto has started to get hot in July, and people on the streets have changed into short-sleeved shirts and shorts, but it is still very different from the previous life.

If it were in the previous life, the streets would have been filled with black stockings and long legs by now, but this era is not very open and people don't dress like that.

Room 206 in the boys' dormitory.

"Old Yuan! Datian! Why don't you come with me to my house and have some fun?" Gao Yuliang said to Yuan Mu while packing his things.

"Okay, I think it's a good idea. It would be nice to go out for a walk during the holidays." Datian, who was packing his things, immediately agreed.

"It's not easy for me to leave. Although it's vacation, I'm just on a temporary assignment after all. I have to go to work even if I don't go to school. Although it's a sinecure, I can't do too much." Yuan Mu said hesitantly.

"Well, I'm not asking you to spend the whole summer at my house. Just go for a few days and come back." Gao Yuliang advised.

"Yeah, Brother Yuan, let's go for a stroll at Lao Gao's house. By the way, Lao Gao, can your house accommodate all of us?" Datian also said.

"Don't worry. After all, I am an excellent teacher. The house allocated to me by the school will be kept. There will be enough space for you to live there!" Gao Yuliang assured.

"Oh, Lao Gao, I've lived with you for almost three years, and I almost forgot that you were a teacher. Tell me about yourself, do you look like a teacher?" Datian laughed.

"Hey! Why don't I look like a teacher? Look at me, don't I look like a role model?" Gao Yuliang said, putting on the style of a teacher.

"Haha! You learned this from Professor Zhu, you're exactly the same as him!" Seeing him like this, Datian laughed even more unscrupulously.

Yuan Mu watched the two people bickering and playing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It can be said that Gao Yuliang now looks nothing like that Secretary Yuliang. It seems that they have nothing to do with each other!
