Knowledge changes fate, and how many people change their own destiny through their own efforts. There is even a condemned man who used his knowledge to take his life back from the bullets and turned his fate around. He is Li Hongtao, who invented a patent the day before he was shot, exempted himself from the death penalty, and was hired with a high salary.
the experience of "the best prisoner on death row in history"
Li Hongtao was born in an ordinary intellectual family in Huangpi County, Hubei Province in 1966. Because of the good family atmosphere, Li Hongtao was very studious and gifted in the field of mathematics.
In p>198, he was selected as an outstanding young man for his outstanding achievements. He also participated in the national middle school students' mathematics competition, and won the second place. In 1984, he was admitted to the Department of Electronics of Zhejiang University with excellent results, and he was a veritable "schoolmaster".
At that time, when college students were still scarce, it was not only a glorious thing to be admitted to a prestigious school, but also a stepping stone to find a career in the future.
After graduating from college, Li Hongtao and his girlfriend went to Kunming to work in an electronics factory in Kunming. The two also naturally entered the marriage hall, and everything seemed very beautiful. But after all, he was not satisfied with this dull life, made a mistake in his marriage, and personally broke this peaceful and beautiful life.
In p>199, he betrayed his marriage and had an extramarital affair with a local female college student. Because he was caught in this "extramarital affair", he couldn't face his wife, so his relationship with his wife broke down, and the emotional dispute between the three people made him miserable. He was once depressed and fell into the bottom of his life, and his life track has changed greatly since then.
Go astray and be condemned to death
At the low point of his life, Li Hongtao's classmates invited him to set up a company together, but due to lack of funds, the company's operation has not improved.
Faced with the problem of insufficient funds, Li Hongtao did not use formal methods to solve it. Instead, he used a "crooked idea"-forging the bank seal of the company. With this forged seal, he successfully transferred 8, yuan from the bank account of a certain unit to a fake account he opened.
after the first time he cheated money and tasted the sweetness, he began to plan the second implementation plan, but he was successfully arrested by the long-established police.
Even when he entered the police station, he didn't obediently submit. While the police were not looking, he opened his handcuffs and ran away.
He first went home to destroy the evidence of fraud, and then started his escape. During his escape, the choice of transportation is also extremely important. Li Hongtao stole a limousine with his crooked skills to facilitate his escape plan, but he was bored by running away blindly.
Frustrated, Li Hongtao decided to go to his girlfriend's university to find his little girlfriend, and was arrested by the police for the second time. Li Hongtao, who was captured, was not afraid, but also excited. He told the police what he had done in detail, and challenged the police to get rid of himself within three months, otherwise he would escape again.
The investigators were indifferent to Li Hongtao's remarks, and did not take his words to heart at all. This attitude also aroused Li Hongtao's inner discontent. So Li Hongtao planned to escape from prison again.
He advocated that two prisoners dig tunnels with him to escape. With their help and self-made tools, they dug through the wall of the detention center, and Li Hongtao escaped successfully again.
But he was so bored with this life that he deliberately exposed his whereabouts. It wasn't long before Li Hongtao was arrested by the police again. After this time, he didn't want to escape again, on the one hand, because the guards on the police side were more strict, and on the other hand, he was tired of this boring chase game.
On November 1, 1993, he was sentenced to death for fraud, theft and other crimes, and was deprived of political rights for life.
Prison invents patents and strives for its own vitality
After being sentenced to death, Li Hongtao did not give up on himself. On the contrary, he has been thinking about doing something meaningful, so that he can leave more than just charges in people's minds.
Because he graduated from the Department of Electronics of Zhejiang University, he is full of interest in electronic and mechanical things, so he has a novel idea, that is, to manufacture a brushless motor.
In prison, he told his unique ideas to the top leaders, and hoped that the leaders would agree to his request to do the experiment.
At first, the leaders didn't believe this "slick", but after Li Hongtao's repeated requests and their research and discussion, they were finally convinced. So, Li Hongtao started his experiment of brushless motor in a humble prison.
But because the environment was too simple, his first confident experiment ended in failure. He didn't give up because of this, but he became more and more frustrated. Even though he was sentenced to death, he didn't panic at all and still devoted himself to the research of brushless motors.
The warden was also moved by his spirit of studying hard. In order to help him, the warden specially invited experts in radio to invent the brushless motor with him.
With the guidance of experts, the progress of Li Hongtao's experiment has been accelerated a lot. He found the reasons for his failure and tried to solve these problems.
something miraculous happened. After his many experiments, the day before the execution, the brushless motor was finally invented. In this regard, the warden was very excited, and specially wrote a request report on "suspending the execution of Li Hongtao's death penalty" for him, and sent it to the higher authorities, hoping to suspend his death penalty or commute his sentence.
With the sound of brushless motor running, Li Hongtao also ushered in the dawn of his own life. Finally, considering Li Hongtao's contribution to mankind, the Yunnan Higher People's Court agreed to change the death penalty to a suspended death sentence.
The brushless motor invented by Li Hongtao also applied for a national patent, and won the first prize of Yunnan Excellent Invention. The success of the first invention patent made him full of interest in invention and devoted himself to it.
Later, he invented several patents in prison. Because of his attitude correction and the invention of so many patents, he was finally relieved of the death penalty and sentenced to 17 years in prison. In 29, Li Hongtao was released from prison. In order not to bury this talent, some units hired him with a high salary.
Some people say that gold always shines, even in prison, it can realize its value. Li Hongtao made many mistakes in the first half of his life because he went astray, but he kept his life by virtue of his intelligence.
But in any case, Li Hongtao's success is an unrepeatable legend. Of course, his experience in the first half of his life is not worth learning from. Fortunately, he turned back in time and rewritten his life.
Many people will go astray because they are possessed by ghosts, but it is important that we wake up in time and find the right direction in life. It's never too late to wake up, so we shouldn't give up on ourselves until the last moment of our lives!
