Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)
“Soapy, if you admit what you have done with
Black Peony now in my presence, I might consider
giving you lighter punishment. If you refuse to admit
it, I’ll turn over your case to the revolutionary
teachers to deal with. They will severely denounce
you. They have been unhappy with you. They would
ask our leaders to give you the most serious
punishment. They wouldn’t let you go easily. So, I
persuade you to admit your mistake as soon as
possible. You know our Party’s policy, leniency to
confessors, severity to resisters…”
“A good conscience is a soft pillow! I haven’t
done anything wrong. I have nothing to be afraid of!”
“In that case I will turn over the case to the
revolutionary teachers to deal with. They will ‘help’
you. They’ll ‘help’ you understand your mistake.”
With that, he let me go.
