Xiang Xuehua in the phone thinking for a long time, from the beginning firmly said “will not, in the old home to repair the car do not want to go”, to later changed his mind and said that if the teacher good communication, he may will also choose to go back.
This is the first time Xiang Xuehua set foot outside of Guizhou. Although already 15 years old, but before going to Hebei to learn acrobatics, he has never been out of Guizhou, “the beginning is to go out more to see the outside world, but to Hebei, so far from home, want to see family can not see, only brother (Xiang Xuexiang) in that side, or quite homesick. “And this time to go away, in addition to the boss in Cao aggrieved, they think Sichuan is closer to Guizhou, “we all want to return to Guizhou, the home “.

Now years have passed, he is already 15 years old “did not think so much before, it feels like she left us so small in us, which is irresponsible”.
The school in Hebei, many of his classmates are in a similar situation to him, either poor in studies, or family poverty, or parents divorced or unattended. Xiang Xuehua said that there are more than 40 students in their acrobatics class, the youngest is 7 years old, the oldest is 16 years old, mostly from Guizhou, Yunnan, Henan, and not many students are really interested in acrobatics, “most of them go because their families are poor, and many do not like “.

You can’t bring your cell phone to school, you can’t go out of school, you can’t go home, you can only play with the teacher’s cell phone for a while at the specified time and place.
For before enrolling in school whether you know is closed management, and can not go home in four or five years? Xiang Xuehua said: “At that time to enrollment when the head of the high (acrobatics professional head of Gao Wenjun) said let us rest assured that there are many friends over there, the landscape is also very good, but also take us to the park to play, but after going to none. “”After going for a day or two, I regret it. “Xiang Xuehua said that the first day to go to watch everyone practice, “feel they are so powerful, but the next day the head let us learn those, can not learn the head of the scolding, (high head) Control up than other teachers are more aggressive, yelling at people with the loudest voice, but also pushed, but did not fight, there is monitoring they dare not fight. “
The food in the school is also bad, eat steamed buns and pickles in the morning, noon and evening meals, but the dishes are only tomatoes and fried potatoes, “meat rarely have, probably once a week to eat. “Xiang Xuehua said, if he had known that this is the case, he certainly do not go.
Can not stand the agent swear words
Also use the hand to shoot people, “shoot half pain half pain kind”
Life at school are still tolerable, but after arriving in Chengdu, the broker Cao boss sexually impatient, swearing, so that the four of them are under great pressure.
Xiang Xuehua said, in addition to no breakfast every day to eat, practice until the early hours of the morning, the performance of the performance to be punished 500 push-ups (can be completed in stages, but must be done before rest), they and Cao boss family living in a house, the four of them in addition to practice, but also responsible for cleaning the room hygiene, Xiang Xuehua is responsible for kitchen hygiene, the other three people are responsible for the toilet, bedroom, living room. “found a bowl was not washed began to scold us, a scolding is a few minutes, all swear words. “And practice gong is not good, Cao boss will also pat them with his hands,” pat chest, pat back, pat waist, pat half pain half pain kind, but my brother they all say pain. “
For the few days away, he said straightly “can not live”, in the road, they want to go back to Guizhou, in addition to call the acrobatics school teacher. “Say (Cao) boss (to their) situation, see how the teacher to deal with. “After they came back, the head of the high also told them to tell the police truthfully, but Xiang Xuehua said that when he saw Boss Cao at the police station, “he looked at us with that very fierce look in When we went in to take a statement, he also deliberately said, ‘Do I usually yell at you? Did I scold you guys? After we went in, we did not dare to say, just to the police said he did not give breakfast to eat. “
Feel used as a tool to make money
Out to perform only 100 yuan per person per month pocket money
Hard work every day to perform to earn money, in return is a variety of scolding, which is the four children can not think through.
Xiang Xuehua told reporters that they came to Chengdu to perform is the teacher contacted Cao boss, the head of the high then send them over. They initially did not know that these performances to give money, and then after the first performance, they saw someone to give money to Cao boss, “after every scene like this”.
Xiang Xuehua calculated an account, from April 22 to Chengdu to May 1, they went to the hotel celebrations, joy / funeral activities performance, “at least two every day, if it is a big event, a more than 3,000 yuan, small activities also have more than 1,000 yuan. “And each performance are completed by their four people,” Cao boss will also give money to the head of the high, but the specific how much is not clear, the head of the high said we just out of the internship performance. “In this regard, Gao Wenjun also said that it is a paid performance, “to charge a little fee “.
But come out to perform, they each have only 100 yuan a month pocket money. Xiang Xuehua said they then felt they were being used as a tool to make money, “feel that we came out to perform is to help them make money, their own money outside to earn 5 years are better than helping them earn 5 years. “And according to friends who are familiar with Gao Wenjun, the time of internship performance and back to school study time “half and half, half year performance, half year back to school “.
The reporter also learned from the Hebei Wuqiao County Bureau of Education and Sports, four children went missing after the incident, Wuqiao County Government, the County Bureau of Education and Sports set up a special investigation team to investigate, is currently under investigation, “the matter is currently by the Wei principal (Hebei Wuqiao County Vocational Education Center principal) is fully responsible for replying This matter”. But the reporter repeatedly call Wei principal’s phone, are in no one to answer or call state. The reporter also sent a text message to him, as of press time has not been replied.
According to an acrobat, acrobatics is a very hard performance, “a little inattention in the daily practice may kill their performance career. “This line of acrobatics is also “eating youthful rice”. The reason is that as they grow older, actors accumulate more and more injuries due to their performances, and many difficult movements cannot be completed, so generally 35 years old is the limit of acrobats in this business.
According to a previous report by Xinhua Viewpoint, the stage life of acrobats is very short, starting from seven or eight years old training, at least six years before they can perform on stage, generally more than 20 years old, at the latest 30 years old to say goodbye to the stage. Cao Zhilong, vice chairman of Jiangsu Acrobats Association, also said in a previous interview with the media that after practicing the basic skills for a few years, actors are pushed to the stage early for specialized performances, which often makes actors become passive, they will be “unpopular” because of a certain type of program This tends to make actors passive, and they may leave the stage prematurely because of the “unpopularity” of certain types of shows. In the secondary employment process of acrobats, most of them suffer the loss of emphasizing skill over culture.
Now, back home, Xiang Xuehua talked about what he would like to do most without considering other external conditions. He said he wants to be a chef, “because since I was a child, my father taught me to do housework and cooking, which I will. “
And after all these experiences, his psychology has also changed, “before my brother did not practice well I will go to scold him, but now I feel that, like the boss scolded us, the more he scolded us, the more afraid we are, the more we do not do well, maybe in the future to communicate with Xiangzi well, not to scold him. “
