励志传记(当今奇人周兴和)第七章第五节

野牛对狮子反击

The buffalo fought back against the lion

“周总，你这样干绝对不行！”

"Mr. Zhou, you could never do such thing!"

星河公司资深的法律顾问魏教授，看了周兴和写的这份材料后，他连连摇头，竭力阻止周兴和将这份材料寄出去。

Professor Wei, the company's senior legal adviser, shook his head and tried to stop Zhou Xinghe from sending the document.

“魏教授，你的好心我领了。但，这件事我已经想了几个月了，决心已定！”周兴和决绝地说，“我如果不出这口气，憋在心里太难受，那样会生病的。既然要我生病，何不让他们也生回病！”

"Professor Wei, I have accepted your kindness. But I've been thinking about it for months and I'm determined!" Zhou Xinghe said resolutely, "If I don't vent my anger and keep it in my heart, I will get sick. If I'm going to get sick, why don't they get sick too!"

“你这样做，我是坚决反对的。”魏教授依然坚持他的观点。

"I am firmly opposed to your doing so." Professor Wei still stood by his view.

“我知道你肯定会反对，我确实是忍无可忍。”周兴和固执地说道，“我已经豁出去了，他们要抓要关要杀，我已管不了那么多了，反正我已经是死过两三回的人了！”

"I know you'll object, but it's the last straw." Zhou Xinghe said obstinately, "I’ll go all out; even if they want to catch, lock or kill me, I can't care so much anymore. Anyway, I have already died two or three times!"

“周老板，说实话，以前我对你的印象还可以。”魏教授停了停，接着说道，“恕我直言，在这件事情上，你的做法好像农村的泼妇一样。”

"Mr. Zhou, to be honest, I had a good impression of you." Professor Wei paused and then said, "With all due respect, you're acting like a village shrew about this."

“魏教授，你还真说对了，对待泼妇只能用泼妇的办法来对付她！”周兴和闻言回答道，“你已尽到了你的工作责任。我周兴和这个人，敢做敢当。我决心要做的事，九牛二虎都拉不回来！”

"Professor Wei, you are really right. A shrew can only be treated in the way of shrew!" Zhou Xinghe replied, "You have done your duty. I dare to act and dare to bear resposnbility. What I'm determined to do, nothing could pull me back!"

“不管你怎么说，我作为你的法律顾问，看到你走到悬崖边，不把你拉住，这是我工作的失职。”魏教授是个做事认真的人，在原则问题上他也不会轻易放弃自己的主张。

"Whatever you say, I am negligent in my job as your legal adviser to see you walk to the edge of the cliff and not pull you back." Professor Wei was a serious person, and he would not easily give up his ideas on matters of principle.

“谢谢你，魏教授。你的心情我理解，但我的心情你理解吗？”周兴和见魏教授有些着急的样子，他冷静下来，想了想对他说道，“这样，我给你讲个故事，你听完这个故事，就能理解我现在为什么要这样做了。”

"Thank you, Professor Wei. I understand your mood, but do you understand mine?" Seeing Professor Wei was a little worried, Zhou Xinghe calmed down, thought for a while and said to him, "In this way, I will tell you a story, and then you can understand why I am doing this now."

魏教授有些疑惑地看着周兴和。

Professor Wei looked at Zhou Xinghe with some doubts.

周兴和给魏教授讲的是电视中科教频道《自然传奇》中的一个故事：在非洲赞比亚大草原上，一群凶猛的狮子正在追逐着一群野牛，野牛们为了活命，纷纷四散逃离。危急关头，一头半大的野牛，被狮子追上并扑到了，要把它当作一顿美餐。小野牛拼命挣扎，逃到了河边上。未曾想，一条蛰伏在河边的鳄鱼猛然扑了上来，咬住了小牛的后腿，狮子也追上来咬住了小牛的前腭，一个往岸上拉，一个往水里拖。

Zhou told Wei a story from Nature Legend, a science and education channel on TV: on the Zambian savannah in Africa, a group of fierce lions chased a herd of buffalo, who fled in all directions for their lives. At the critical juncture, a medium-sized buffalo, was chased by the lion and pounced upon, which wanted to regard it as a good meal. The buffalo struggled hard and fled to the river. Not knowing that, a crocodile, dormant by the river, pounced upon and held the buffalo by the hind leg. The lion followed and took hold of the buffalo’s anterior palate, pulling towards the bank, while the other into the water.

正当鳄鱼和狮子拼命争夺这头垂死的小牛时，一个令人震惊的场面发生了！只见远处一头强壮的公牛凄厉地叫了一声，不顾生死勇猛地冲上前去，用它的犄角一下把狮子挑了起来，猛地将它扔到了河里去！鳄鱼见状，赶紧一下松开血盆大口，逃之夭夭。其余十几只狮子，也被这头狂怒的野牛反常的举动惊呆了，竟然全都四散而逃！狂怒的野牛救下自己受伤的儿子后，不断爱怜地舔着儿子鲜血淋漓的伤口——那个情景，竟叫周兴和看着看着，情不自禁流下泪来！

While the crocodile and the lion were fighting desperately for the dying buffalo, a shocking scene took place! In the distance, with a shrill cry, a strong buffalo rushed forward bravely, risked his life and death, picked up the lion with his horns, and threw him violently into the river! Seeing this, the crocodile quickly released its jaws and fled. A dozen other lions, stunned by the rageful buffalo's unusual behavior, and fled in all directions! After saving his wounded son, the wild buffalo kept licking his son's bloody wound with love and pity. Zhou Xinghe could not help shedding tears at the sight.

“一头野牛，为了保护自己的儿子，都能那么奋不顾身地与凶残的狮子和鳄鱼决斗。”周兴和讲完这个故事，他有些动情地对魏教授讲道，“我周兴和这么多年拼命而获得的发明专利，在我眼里心里，它就是我的儿子呀！眼看狮子和鳄鱼就要把它吞噬，我难道还不如那头野牛么！”

"A buffalo, to protect his son, would be so desperate to fight the ferocious lion and crocodile." After Zhou Xinghe finished his story, he said to Professor Wei with some emotions, "The invention patent that I have worked so hard to obtain for so many years, in my eyes, is my son too! The lion and the crocodile are about to devour it. Am I worse than the buffalo to save my son?"

“唉——”魏教授听到这里，只是长长叹了口气。

"Well." Professor Wei just gave a long sigh when he heard this.

倔犟的周兴和，这时他确实已是一头狂怒的野牛，挺起犄角冲到了河边，要与狮子和鳄鱼争夺他的儿子了，确实没有什么力量能够把他拉回来！第二天，他将写好的这份材料印了上千份，毫不犹豫公开寄给了地方有关部门、有关领导、法院纪委、法院领导，以及当事人等等。

Balky Zhou Xinghe, no doubt was a furious buffalo by this time, rushed to the river with his horns to contend with the lion and crocodile for his son, and there was really no strength to pull him back! The next day, he printed thousands of copies of the written material, and without hesitation, publicly sent them to local authorities, relevant leaders, court discipline inspection commission, court leaders, and the parties concerned.

这份材料通过邮局寄出前，周兴和已充分作好了被司法机关拘留、逮捕的思想准备，他给家人和朋友，特别是儿子作了一些交代和嘱咐。上千份材料寄出后，他哪里都不去了，每天按时到公司办公室，坐等法院或公安局的人来传唤或逮捕他。

Before this material was sent through the post office, Zhou Xinghe was fully prepared to be detained or arrested by the judicial authorities. He gave some explanations and instructions to his family and friends, especially his son. After sending out thousands of documents, he went nowhere, arriving at the company office on time every day to wait for someone from the court or public security bureau to summon him or arrest him.

 “兴和呀，你胆子也太大了吧？”好心的朋友们闻听这件事，莫不为他担心，纷纷打电话或来到公司关心他，“你要知道，他们要弄你一个小老百姓，就像掐一只蚂蚁那么容易呀！”

"Xinghe, you are too bold?!" Hearing this, his kind-hearted friends were worried about him and called or came to the company to care about him. "You know, if they want to frame you such a common people, it’s just like pinching an ant!"

“这是共产党的天下，我相信共产党反腐倡廉的意志和决心。”周兴和竟然振振有辞，“我就不相信，一家地方的法院，就能把整个共产党的天都遮黑了！”

"This is a world under the Communist Party's rule, and I believe the Party's will and determination to fight the corruption and build a clean government." Zhou Xinghe even explained, "I don't believe that a local court can blind the whole Communist Party!

“反腐倡廉那是共产党纪委和政府监察部门的事，你何必要去当这个出头鸟呀！”朋友们出于好心，还想竭力从旁规劝他。

"Combating the corruption and building a clean government is the matter of the Communist Party's Discipline Inspection Commission and government supervision department. Why should you stand out?" His friends out of their kindness tried to persuade him.

“对于贪污腐败现象，连封建社会、国民党时期那都人神共愤，我不相信共产党政权能够容忍！”周兴和固执起来，就像一块捂不热的石头，“就是因为大家都装聋作哑，没有人愿当出头鸟，所以才造成那些腐败分子肆无忌惮、变本加厉。”

"I don't believe the Communist regime can tolerate the corruption, even in feudal society and during the Kuomintang period, the corruption was hated by all men." Zhou Xinghe became stubborn, just like a stone, "It was because everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one was willing to take the lead, that those corruptionists became more and more reckless."

“兴和啊，你还是要多长一个心眼呀！”

"Xinghe, you still have to be careful!"

“我是明人不做暗事，我所做的事情都是公开的，材料上白纸黑字都落着我‘周兴和’的名字。只要他们能公开收拾我，就算有些绅士的风度，我个人也就心满意足了。”

"I am an honest man who does not do anything underhand. What I do is public. My name 'Zhou Xinghe' is written on the documents. If they would only deal with me openly, I shall be content with their gentlemanly manner."

“恐怕，人家恐怕不会按照你的想法来行事哟！兴和呀，你想没想过，你是一个人单打独斗，人家是一张大网啊！……”

"I'm afraid they may not act in your way! Xinghe, have you ever thought that you are a person fighting alone, while there is a big net! ..."

奇怪，周兴和的材料寄出去后，他天天坐等穿着制服提着手铐的人来拘捕他，可两个月过去了，竟然来传唤他的人也没有——难道，此事就这样不了了之了么？

It was strange that after Zhou Xinghe's documents had been sent, he sat there every day waiting for the men in uniform and with handcuffs to arrest him, but two months had passed and no one had even summoned him - could this event have been come to nothing?

这个结局有些出乎人的预料——但，这只说明了一个问题，这个法院的枉法者只是极个别人，他们的领导和法官们，绝大部分还是具有正义感和较高法律水准的。

The outcome was somewhat unexpected - but it only illustrated one point: the people perverting the law in the court was the minority, and most of the leaders and judges had the sense of justice and high legal standard.
