每個大隊的工廠都有一個被關押者被看守指派作監工。
我被關在三大隊時，脾氣暴躁的監工總在工廠用惡毒的語言罵我、侮辱我，說我幹活笨手笨腳之類。
我默默忍受、從不回嘴，同時不斷從自己身上找原因，對照真、善、忍的標準檢查自己有什麼地方做的不夠好、需要修正提高。
然後有一天，她突然請求我在工廠的黑板上給她寫些字，說她很喜歡我的字。
我寫完後，她一改平日的痞氣、一本正經的對著整個工廠的被關押者大聲說：「這手字看起來真是舒服！我相信一個人的字反映出一個人的性格！以後我一想發脾氣就看看這手字！我就不會發脾氣了！我也想做這樣的人：不和人爭，默默忍受，以理服人，以德服人！」
整個工廠哄堂大笑。
從那以後她再也沒罵過我。（待續）
(英文對照)
In every brigade’s factory, there was an inmate who was designated by the guards to supervise the labor.
While I was in the Third Brigade, the hot-tempered supervising inmate often scolded me and insulted me with venomous language in the factory, saying I was clumsy in labor and so on.
I quietly endured without fighting back, meanwhile kept searching my inner self for where I had fallen short and needed to be improved according to the principle of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance.
Then one day, she suddenly requested me to write some Chinese characters for her on the factory blackboard, saying she liked my handwriting very much.
When I finished writing, she said loudly to all the inmates in the factory in an earnest tone, instead of her usual ruffian-like tone, “This handwriting feels really pleasant to look at! I believe one’s handwriting reflects one’s character! From now on, whenever I’m in the verge of flying into a rage, I’ll look at this handwriting! Thereby I won’t fly into a rage! I want to become this kind of person too: Quietly endure, never fight with anyone, and win over people’s respect only by virtues and reason!”
The whole factory burst into loud laughter.
She never scolded me thereafter.
