There are gold belts for murder and arson, but there are no corpses for repairing bridges and roads. ?At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the war was in chaos, the people were in dire straits. In the troubled times, many villagers were forced to go to the mountains to survive, and they became bandits and robbers. Some of these bandits and robbers are good and bad. For example, the heroes of Liangshan who rob the rich and give to the poor are called righteous men. However, most of the bandits are ruthless bandits who commit murder and arson.
One of them was a ruthless bandit from the Republic of China. He went around robbing homes and robbing women. He did countless bad things and forcibly married 72 wives. Such a domineering and arrogant bandit was eventually raped. What's going on?
Hateful people must be pitiful
All bad guys are not developed in a day, and must have their own development process. The same is true for Liu Guitang, a gangster in the Republic of China. His childhood was more miserable than most people's. He was born in Feixian County. His father was an idle gangster who had an affair with a widow in the village and gave birth to Liu Guitang.
Not long after Liu Guitang was born, his father passed away, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother helpless. Liu Guitang's mother was forced to make a living, so she could only take him to beg from door to door to make a living. This undignified life lasted until Liu Guitang grew up to be 8 years old, because at this time Liu Guitang could start to herd sheep for other people to make a living.
In such an era when people's livelihood is difficult, dignity and face are no longer important. The only important thing is to survive. Liu Guitang, who has not had a complete family since he was a child, has not received a proper education. Since he was a child, all his cognition has been for survival, so dignity and morality have no place in his values.
This also resulted in his cruel character of using any means to achieve his goals after he became a robber, because in his eyes, the world is a world of the jungle, only survival and death, without warmth and love, as for morality and faith. , are all false excuses.
The road of a robber
Adhering to such values, the first way Liu Guitang thought of to make a living when he grew up was robbery, because this was the profession that best aligned with his values. This word perfectly explains the law of the jungle and the use of any means necessary. He first teamed up with some local gangsters in the village to rob in familiar places in the village, but because he was worried about the government, he only committed crimes every now and then.
However, the demise of the Qing government soon made him realize that the government that could control him no longer existed. He became more and more unscrupulous and simply began to form his own team of bandits to win over gangsters from nearby villages. Together they robbed homes and houses, so Liu Guitang's bandit team grew stronger and stronger, slowly growing to more than 5,000 people, equivalent to an army.
Once a person who has been treated cruelly by the world since childhood takes power, he will inevitably treat the world cruelly. Liu Guitang led his army of bandits to attack cities and villages, killing people, setting fires, and robbing women. In the era of war and chaos, everyone was hungry and cold, and many people had no choice but to eat tree bark and chew grass roots. In such a social environment, Liu Guitang still ignored the lives of others and robbed the only food in people's homes. .
For those who resisted, Liu Guitang's order was to kill them all. Some women who preferred death threw themselves into wells. He even asked his men to throw huge rocks into the wells to cut off the last vestiges of life for those who threw themselves into the wells. Really? Hell is empty and the devil is in the world. ?Under Liu Guitang's policy of burning, killing, looting, and exterminating everyone, many nearby villages were wiped out by their bandit army, turning the former fireworks countryside into a hell on earth.
The devil will never have love
If a person sacrifices everything he has to the devil in exchange for survival and power, then he will only be able to live like a beast and a walking corpse. , forever losing the ability to love and be loved. Even though Liu Guitang robbed women of the family during robberies and married 72 wives in his life, they only satisfied his temporary emptiness. He never regarded these women as his relatives or family members. In his eyes, they were just his playthings, no different from raising a cat or dog.
Once the leader of Liu Guitang’s enemy captured his wife during the war and wanted to threaten Liu Guitang. Unexpectedly, Liu Guitang bluntly said: "You can kill her as you please, I have plenty of wives." Kill one so I can find another. ?And behind such a ruthless and cruel character, it reflects the extreme emptiness of his inner spiritual world. No one has ever been able to enter his heart, and the only one he cares about is himself.
And such a person is more like a beast than a human being. There is no faith and love in his world, all warm words are insulated from him, and his life will always be a world of ice and snow. life is sad.
Doomed to a sad ending
Those who do not give their sincerity to others will never get the sincerity of others. Even though Liu Guitang married more than 70 wives, no one truly loved him. Instead, they hated the robber from the bottom of their hearts, because it was this robber who tore their family into pieces. And Liu Guitang's men just followed him to beg for a bite of food, and they just succumbed to his power and didn't have any respect for him in their hearts.
Liu Guitang was worried that he would be cuckolded, so he locked his wife in a room and let a subordinate guard her. Unexpectedly, this subordinate actually robbed her.
When this incident reached Liu Guitang's ears, Liu Guitang was not very angry. He just ordered the men and women to be killed, because he never regarded these women as his family, and he would just marry them after killing them.
This situation is naturally not uncommon, and Liu Guitang is well aware of it, but he does not know which of his wives are having an affair with which of his subordinates, so that he cannot even know whether his son is his own. Sure. Liu Guitang has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, so although he does all kinds of evil, he is very filial to his mother.
He threw a grand banquet on his mother's birthday, collecting all kinds of delicacies from all over the country, and even filled the table with gold, jade and jade. The birthday banquet was held in a grand manner, and Liu Guitang's mother was filled with joy. At the birthday banquet, Liu Guitang asked his wife and children to kowtow to his mother. In such a large audience, Liu Guitang suddenly pointed at one of his sons and said: "You are not my son. You and I look nothing alike." picture. ?So he ordered his men to drag him out and kill him on the spot.
Liu Guitang’s wanton banditry was eventually sanctioned by the Republic of China government, and it is said that none of his more than 70 wives said that their children were Liu Guitang’s biological blood, and he ended up like this, which can be said to be He deserves it.
A ruthless gangster like Liu Guitang lived a life of crime and robbed countless treasures of gold and silver during his lifetime. However, when he died, he couldn't take it with him and was only burdened by his evil deeds. The bleak ending in the end is not so much the retribution of the karmic cycle as it is the inevitable development of values ??formed by the tragic childhood experience.
Because he has never felt the warmth of the world, he does not believe that there is warmth in the world. His whole life has been cold and cruel. He later robbed so much gold and silver, and owned countless wealth and women. What changed was only his material life. In fact, he could not escape the spiritual world of hunger and cold in his childhood.
