Some people often say that the most untested thing in the world is human nature. Thousands of years ago, "Huainanzi" once said: "Human sexual desire is flat, and craving for desire harms it." In fact, the ancients It has been understood that human nature can be plain, but various greedy desires make human nature elusive. Just like there was a death row prisoner in our country. He invented a patent a few hours before he was executed. Not only was he exempted from the death penalty, but he was also hired by that prison with a high salary. What is his legendary story?
His name is Li Hongtao. He was born in Hubei in 1966. He has been a child of other people since he was a child. Not only does he have good academic performance, but he is also sensible, smart and decisive in dealing with things. Since childhood, he has won numerous awards and once won second place in a national mathematics competition.
Later, he was admitted to Zhejiang University in 1984 and studied in the most popular electronics department. You know, given the difficulty of the college entrance examination back then, he was a well-deserved top student and could have a very good development prospect. In college, he met his wife, and after graduation he worked with her in Kunming, at the Kunming No. 2 Resistor Factory. One year after working, the two got married.
Logically speaking, such a good young man with good roots should be able to develop well and even become a leader in the field of science in our country. But later, his development exceeded everyone's expectations. After marriage, he did not live in peace and contentment, but found a mistress. His wife was so angry that she divorced him, and finally his family broke up.
Shortly after the divorce, Li Hongtao was arrested by the police and sent to prison. It turned out that he secretly carved a fake seal and used it to commit fraud and obtain 200,000. You know, in the late 1980s, 200,000 yuan was equivalent to tens of millions today. This time, Li Hongtao's crime was very serious.
I thought he would be able to change his ways after being imprisoned, but the day he was caught by the police, he secretly made himself a key and escaped from the police. What happened later was very magical. He ran to Guiyang in one breath and stole the only Audi car in Guiyang with the key he made.
Then, he went out for several months, found the mistress who caused him to divorce, and stayed with her for a while. When the novelty wore off, he found the mistress boring and stole another Santana police car. This time, he didn't want to live a carefree life outside, but drove the police car back to the prison without hesitation. It turned out that he was going to surrender.
But this time, he did not really repent, just like joking with the police. After staying for a few days, he regretted that this kind of life was too boring, and that the free and unrestrained life outside was more fun. So he dug another tunnel and successfully escaped from prison. Before escaping from prison, he told the police that he must control himself more strictly, because he might disappear. The police did not take his words seriously. After he successfully escaped from prison, he called the police to show off. In the end, he could not escape the punishment of the law. He escaped from prison again and again, coupled with huge amounts of theft and fraud. All the charges were added up, and he was sentenced to death by the Kunming Intermediate People's Court.
In fact, the last time he was imprisoned was because he was obsessed with invention and had no intention of escaping. When he was sentenced to death, he was not too surprised because he was focused on defeating the invention of the electric motor. He feels that this is the more challenging thing in his life. Therefore, while being imprisoned, Li Hongtao kept applying to his superiors, and finally he got an independent dormitory and simple experimental equipment.
Because at that time, this kind of motor was still a blank research field in our country. Once invented, it would have a great impact on the development of our country. So after learning about his research, the leaders in the prison also attached great importance to him and decided to give him a last chance to experiment. They also found several experts to help him test the data. Three or four hours before the execution, Li Hongtao finally overcame this problem and became the inventor of my country's brushless electric excitation motor.
Because of this invention, the prison leaders submitted an application for a stay of death penalty for him. Instead of welcoming death, his sentence was constantly reduced. Finally, he was released from prison after 16 years in prison. During this period, he also conducted research in the prison, created a monitoring and management system, plugged all escape loopholes, and was also responsible for daily management and maintenance. Since him, no one has successfully escaped from this prison system.
