出狱

27岁的上海人陆剑伟在监狱里已经关押了十年，他8岁时父母离异，一年后抚养他的父亲又患绝症去死。16岁时，他在同学家中行凶致人死亡，因故意杀人罪被判处有期徒刑15年。陆剑伟绝望以后开始真诚忏悔，前后三次获准减刑，志愿者吴阿姨每个月去看望他，坚持六年对他进行帮教。2008年底的一天，是陆刑满释放的日子，吴阿姨第一个出现在监狱门口。获得自由的他首先面临户口和住房问题。因为复杂的家庭关系和贫寒的家境，他像皮球一样被父母两边的亲戚踢来踢去。没有户口，便没有稳定工作和生活保障。社会有关部门在帮助这个没有独立生活经验的年轻人，陆剑伟也努力去适应巨变的城市，但现实问题比他想象复杂得多，他的心态在发生变化……　　LuJianwei,twenty-sevenofage,Shanghainese,bynowincarceratedforanentiredecade.　　Lu’sparentsdivorcedwhenhewaseight.Helivedwithhisfathersincethen,untilayearlatercancerbroughtthelatteraway.Attheageof16,hecommittedamurderatonefellowstudent’splace,resultinginasentenceoffifteenyears’imprisonment.　　Theyoungmanwasonceindespairbutresolvedtoredeemedhissin,andearnedhimselfthriceacommute.ThankstoavolunteercalledAuntyWu,whohadbeenvisitingthemanmonthlyoverthelastsixyearsandwasthefirstoneinDec.,2008–thedayLuregainedfreedom–togreethimbacktonormallife,Lugraduallybuiltuphishopeandconfidence.　　Whathedidn’tforeseeis,problemsonlystartstopileupafterhesteppedoutofjail,likehouseholdregistration,orsimplywheretolive.Heistossedaroundamongrelativesonbothhisfather’sandmother’ssides,understandableduetothefamily’spast,especiallywhenmostofhislivingrelativesleadafrugallifetheirown.Besides,havingneverbeforelivedindependently,hehaslittleideaastohow.Evenwiththehelpofthesocietyandhisownattempttoadjusttotherapidlydevelopingmetropolis,Lustillfindsrealitymuchhardertohandlethanhehadimagined,whilehisattitudeisundergoingasubtlechange…
