Wu's mother is a middle school history teacher, his father is a state-owned enterprise leader, and Wu is a classmate of Congming. According to the portrait of the investigative reporter, this is a typical upper-middle-class intellectual family.
Such a family has its own unique class characteristics-self-esteem, sensitivity, good face, and easy not to expose life difficulties.
Wu's academic performance confirmed his identity as a high IQ student.
In the third grade, Wu won the third prize in Fuzhou Division of the National Applied Physics Knowledge Competition; In 2009, Wu scored 437 points in the senior high school entrance examination, ranking first in the whole school; In high school, Wu won the "Three Mu Zhi Stars" scholarship in Fuzhou No.1 Middle School when he was a sophomore; On 20 12, Wu was admitted in advance by Peking University's independent enrollment and entered Peking University School of Economics. In his freshman year, Wu won the honorary title of "Three Good Students" of Peking University; In his sophomore year, Wu won the Peking University Scholarship; From 2065438 to September 2004, Wu got a high score in the GRE exam, which was called "Wu's GRE score, ranking among the top 5% in the world" by the staff of English training institutions.
All these brilliant life trajectories happened in a specific family background: when Wu was young, his father died of liver cancer. The burden of family falls on my mother, who is a history teacher in middle school, and her family life becomes tight.
Single-parent families, orphans and widows, the ups and downs on the road of life, were suddenly hit by this mother and son.
In this case, the pressure of mother Wu can be imagined. According to the reporter's investigation, Wu's mother is aloof and lofty, while Wu's father was originally outgoing and easy-going.
Perhaps it is under the pressure of this contrast and life that Wu appeared psychological and spiritual deviation and imperfection in the process of growing up, and there are traces to follow.
There is no doubt that people who can be admitted to Peking University, two Peking University scholarships and GRE full marks are undoubtedly far superior to their peers in IQ, learning ability and personal self-control.
However, high IQ and self-discipline do not mean that a person's personality must be healthy and sound, let alone that a person has wisdom.
A high IQ can only show that this person is better at learning and thinking than others, and wisdom, on the basis of IQ, comes more from social experience and inspiration from the third party.
A healthy and sound personality is bound to be irrigated by rich and full humanity, and at the same time it will collide and experience in a broad and extensive social environment.
Before Wu's father died of liver cancer, his personality was stable and organized. According to the reporter's investigation, Wu's father is the backbone of this family and has a deep education for Wu. Wu is also very close to his father. He often said that "father is home, father is everything, and there is no home without father", which shows that Wu's father has a deep influence on Wu.
When a teenager's mind is immature, he suddenly encounters a life event like his father's death at home, which has a great mental and psychological impact.
When great sadness comes, people will psychologically refuse to admit this fact and fall into a state of self-paralysis
On the one hand, I will deceive myself and my life will go on as usual. On the other hand, I will actually fall into a huge psychological and spiritual gap-this gap can be understood as a psychological defense mechanism at work, making people forget everything to delay the heavy blow to people when sadness comes.
It can also be understood that people can't accept this fact psychologically, but force themselves into an unconscious state to escape or avoid the blow of this fact.
Speaking of which, it naturally involves neurobiology. After all, it is our bodies that act for our consciousness.
If we want to shift our attention from neurobiology to the study of human behavior, we can't help but mention Marty. Professor Holovitz (Maldi). As the world's top expert in the field of trauma research, he divides the process of human healing psychological trauma into the following five stages:
1. outcry) 2. Numbness and denial) 3. Invasive re-experience) 4. Work passed) 5. When a traumatic event happens, some people will immediately enter the stage of "crying", which is a blow to people facing the facts. After the painful stage has passed, thoughts, images and memories related to traumatic events will immediately flood in.
These thoughts are so frustrating that the human brain will automatically turn on the defense mechanism to keep them out of consciousness. As you can see, a seriously injured person usually looks insensitive and forms a resistance relationship with the elements related to the traumatic event.
Numbness and resistance are the most important self-protection mechanisms.
When people recall traumatic events, the usual scenes are: their minds are like a stage, and they see themselves performing a stage play on the stage, while another person looks on coldly in the distance; The feelings of the injured are like dreams, and it is not easy to distinguish between dreams and facts.
All the above reactions are actually self-protection when people face great psychological pressure, and sometimes they show emotional numbness. As a n experienced person said:
"Sad moments, I used to feel like a stone. So I completely closed my heart ... and built a wall around it to protect my fragile self. "
Usually this state of hard numbness (you can also understand it as "avoidance") will not last forever.
Research shows that if people deliberately suppress negative and sad emotions, they will increase their frequency-and this is the psychological "rebound effect", that is, people have unconsciously entered the third stage of Holovitz's "invasive memory".
Between the two stages of resistance and invasive memory, many people will swing back and forth.
With the passage of time, most people can summon up the courage to store information related to trauma in long-term memory. But in fact, this process is particularly painful. Every effort, a person can only complete one small step: what he remembers, he forgets-this is what Holovitz called the stage of "understanding trauma".
What people don't know is that after the beginning of the stage of "understanding trauma", they seem to isolate themselves from their feelings: I have completely become a bystander, looking at the trauma I have experienced from a distance, and the whole feeling seems to be in a dream-this isolation or unreality in a dream.
Perhaps it is the deliberate action of the brain, which is still regulating traumatic stress in this way to prevent people from being too mentally impacted.
While people are constantly trying to understand the trauma itself, it is also a process in which resistance and invasive memory gradually fade away.
So we reached the last stage: "Healing the wound".
Traumatic memory stored in short-term memory, after reaching this stage, eventually transferred to long-term memory, no longer interfere with the normal life of the parties. Generally speaking, this process is extremely painful, and the length of time should also be determined according to its own resistance and surrounding environmental factors.
When people inevitably experience such setbacks or trauma, if someone can accompany them all the way and help him/her point out his/her state and stage in time, maybe the process will become shorter and people will return to rationality as soon as possible.
Obviously, maybe Wu didn't get rid of the traumatic shadow after his father died at first. Perhaps, in the process of living alone with his mother, there are too many unknown distortions, which lead to his psychological variation, even cold blood, and finally lead to the consequences of killing his mother.
But these are just conjectures from his life experience, which can't accurately present his criminal motives and psychology. But we can observe some clues from the other side.
After the "rebirth" after killing his mother, he seems to have got some relief. Began to borrow money one by one and lied about going abroad with my mother; After the murder case was discovered, he did not regret surrendering himself, but wandered around, making a living as a male model and teacher in a bar during the day, even making a girlfriend, and taking more than 200,000 girlfriends to travel to Hong Kong.
After being arrested and brought to justice, Kan Kan made a statement in court, analyzed his own psychology and defended himself. ...
Did you take a hammer from behind the door and kill your mother directly, and then calmly hide the body? Still making a living by fleeing, Wu's later life track showed a high degree of self-discipline and shrewdness.
Without guilt, it seems that after killing my mother, I was reborn mentally and psychologically; Living a normal life for a long time, living in good order and having a high IQ; In court, I kept offending myself, but I didn't see the cowardice and sadness of killing my mother. ...
There are indications that Wu Ji may have great resentment and bad blood with his mother, which led to his extreme murder; The normality of Wu's life after his death shows that this person has become psychologically dead steel and may have formed an extremely cold anti-social personality prototype. After entering the society, it is very likely to commit crimes again.
After all, after killing a person, the murderer's world outlook, outlook on life and values have been completely shattered and entered an unscrupulous state. If the death penalty is not imposed or deterred, it is likely to happen again.
Of course. The above is only based on the understanding and speculation of news facts. The specific judgment has yet to be finalized by the court.
We hope that Wu's case can sound an alarm to all families (especially single-parent families) and parents: we should not only pay attention to the success of children, but also pay attention to the growth or fission of a living person in the process of life and study.
It is more difficult for a person to become a talent, and it is more difficult for a person to feel that he is living himself and living like an individual, which is more worthy of our construction.
-The end-
A group of young people who like to look up at the stars.
