"Little Radish Head" was brutally killed

When his remains were found

The little hand still holds the half-cut pencil tightly...

01

8 months in prison

Growing up in prison all my life

The big name of "Little Radish Head" is Song Zhenzhong

Due to living all year round

In a dark and damp cell

"Little radish head" is eight years old

But only four or five years old is the tall

It became a big head and a thin body

Children with thin facial yellow muscles

The victims are all loving

Call him "little radish head"

Study hard in prison

Use branches as pens and cotton as ink

Under several struggles of my father

Only then did the "little radish head" have the opportunity to "go to school"

His father gave him a sharpened branch as a pen

The mother tore off a piece of cotton from her cotton coat

Scorch with fire and mix with water as ink

My uncle and aunt saved the straw paper and made a few exercise books

Later, the general Huang Xiansheng in prison - Uncle Huang

Began to teach him to read and study

Uncle Huang promised that as long as he could use Russian

Say a few words to yourself

Just give him a red and blue pencil

"Little radish head" memorizes Russian words every night before going to bed

Before dawn, I lay down under the bars and studied hard

Later, he got the pencil as he wished

Run back to the cell and say to Mom and Dad:

"Look! This is the real pen! ”

Caring for patients in prison

Cook the noodles in cans

"Steal" oil from the aisle

Life in prison is dark

But the "little radish head" tries his best to take care of others

Once, Hu Chunpu, who was in prison, suffered a recurrence of stomach problems

"Little Radish Head" asked with concern:

"Is it uncomfortable? Want something to eat? Tell me! ”

Looking at a serious child

Hu Chunpu said with a wry smile

"If only there were some noodles"

I didn't expect it more than an hour later

"Little Radish Head" really brought him noodles

Hu Chunpu later found out

The pot for boiling the noodles was in the women's cell

Empty canned boxes after eating

The fuel is "radish heads" from the oil lamp bowl in the aisle

Little by little "stolen"
