There was a sanitation worker who looked a lot like Andy Lau. Once, when I returned from my hometown in Jurong to Zhenjiang, I even sat on the same bus with him. He said the whole way was full of "stones," like Stone Mountain, Stone Horse, and Stone Hill. One time, when I was making a fuss, he covered my head with a quilt, took me to the bed, and tied me up while I shouted for help. He made me help with chores, like sweeping the stairs early in the morning, believing I wouldn't run away. He asked, "Why would you run?"
He said he was on the night shift and he was the first to sleep. Once, he secretly brought an old man into the ward (the same old man who talked about the secret police), locked him and another confused patient in the kitchen, and they were making a ruckus, saying they were fighting poison with poison. Director Tian Zhihong of the ward told him to take the old man back, saying the fare wouldn't be reimbursed.
There was a nurse named Jia Jianqing who rode a big motorcycle to work in the morning, which was quite flashy. She had a very good relationship with me, to the point that later Director Qu Hongfang said, "Ge Yimin, you need to take care of yourself, or you will let Xiao Jia down." Once, I said, "I want to transfer a billion, buy the Fourth Hospital, and let Nurse Jia be the director." The sanitation worker Li asked, "What about you?" I quickly replied, "The director's husband." Nurse Jia immediately laughed so hard she bent over.
Once, while chatting with patients, I said, "Nurse Jia B takes care of others R, but doesn't take care of me R." An old man said, "Nurse Jia is married." I replied, "So B takes care of others R, but doesn't take care of me R."
I often helped with chores in the hospital and was considered a model worker. For example, tying people up, using a urinal for patients (while tied up, on IV drips, etc.), so that when I was discharged, a nurse said, "Now that I'm gone, no one will help with chores." The benefit was that I could eat more good food. I also washed dishes; sometimes I took on the daily task of washing dishes for all three meals, while they took turns.
Once, I had to tie someone up; in the hospital, it was usually a few people for one. When I saw that the person was thin, I said I could handle it alone. I went up to support him and brought him to the bed, and the nurse tied him up, but he suddenly vomited all over my face.
There was a police officer who came to the hospital still in uniform. A few of us went to tie him up; he was very strong, and I was still talking to him when a doctor suddenly lunged at him. We all rushed in, and a female relative of his said, "Watch his hands; he has injuries."
The police officer knew that electric acupuncture was powerful, but he said he wasn't afraid and even requested to try it out, specifically saying to let him see while I did it, but I didn't look.
Once, I had an unpleasant encounter with the police officer. I was eating duck, and he wanted some pieces, but I stubbornly refused and told Nurse Jia, who was sitting across from me, that I couldn't finish it, and she just laughed.
The patients did all the mopping; a few regular patients did it. After the doctors finished their rounds, the sanitation worker would call us to mop the floor.
One morning, a doctor asked me to take out the trash from the doctor's and nurse's office, which was filled with banana peels and other garbage.
Once, it seemed like my "master" Xia Liwen was in the sleeping room, talking bad about the medical staff with another person. I reported it to the doctor at the window, but the doctor ignored me. When I went back to them, they twisted my arm, and when I reported it again, the doctor said I deserved it.
There was a young man who looked like my brother Lu Jun; he played football and wore a military coat and sports pants. He had a very good relationship with me, sharing food, as the mental hospital only had food. He told me not to help with chores.
An old man said to me, "Ge Yimin, you have a grandmother who loves you the most." I didn't know how he knew my grandmother was still alive or why he would say she loved me the most. Once in the activity room, he suddenly said to me, "Look, Jinshan," pointing out the window, and after a while, he said it was gone.
He also said that when I was doing electric acupuncture, it was very painful, but when others did it, I would still help connect the wires. He said as long as I didn't oppose the party or society, it would be fine.
In the mental hospital, with just one cigarette, you could be treated like an emperor. If you gave someone a cigarette, they would kneel down and shout, "Long live my emperor!"
At that time, I was wearing red pants, and a nurse asked, "Ge Yimin, why are you wearing red pants?" I replied, "What does that have to do with you?" She said, "Then I'll tie you up." I said, "If you want to tie me up, then do it." She went to find Du Yu and others to tie me up. The male doctor who came to do the ECG in the ward had to do it on the bed where I was tied, saying, "Don't argue with them," and I said, "Thank you."
Once tied up, I had to do electric acupuncture. Doctor Zhang Wei was doing it, and I told her to be gentle. After it ended, a young nurse named Tang came to do it again, saying while doing it, "Ge Yimin, aren't you a bit young? Your son is already as tall as you." But at that time, my son only reached my knee. She then said, "You are despicable, shameless, and lowly."
During lunch, a woman dressed in casual clothes, in a beautiful red and black outfit, looking like a Hong Kong star, came to deliver food and asked, "Why is he tied up?"
