At the Police Station
During the summer vacation, I had a chance to visit a police station in order to learn something about society. There I caught sight of a drug addict①.
That day, I was reading a dossier of a case② in the office when a young man was brought in.
“How old are you?”a policeman asked.
“Nineteen,”the man answered in a low voice.
“How long have you been taking drugs?”
“For 3 years.”
On hearing this, I was very surprised. Now I knew how he had become so thin, so pale and so weak. Drugtaking③ cost him so much money that he had to steal. As a result he was caught.
“Now I realize I was wrong. I feel I have let my mother down who has been ill for a long time and is always worried about me. But now…I must die. I must die….”
Nineteen is a golden age. At this age he could have been at school or in the army or on a farm if he had not taken drugs.
His case proves the truth of a Chinese saying：“A moment＇s error can bring a lifelong regret.④”
