Introduction to Professor Junk

The protagonist of the novel is a humanities middle school teacher named Raat. He is a professor (at that time, middle school teachers in Germany also received the title of professor). He should have been called Professor Raat, but People call him Professor Trash. What's going on? This is the result of his behavior throughout his life. What the novel describes is what the trash professor did throughout his life. The story takes place in a port city in northern Germany at the end of the 19th century.

The rubbish professor is a tyrant in the school, and his teaching has always been aimed at making students his enemy. He believes that students are subjects to be disciplined, and their nature is to be willful and indulgent, and do not know what is good or bad; their naturally playful behavior is tantamount to depravity; their carelessness and laughter are resistance to state power; any of their "derailed" behaviors will Resulting in a riot, which is tantamount to a mob "riot." It has become his habit to be harsh and cruel to students, to make things difficult for no reason, and to "imprison him in solitary confinement" at every turn. Unexpectedly, a showgirl named Rosa Fr?hlich appeared in this seaport city. She was a prostitute who had been insulted and hurt. The trashy professor was very afraid that his students would hook up with the singer, so he used all kinds of tricks to track the students and inquire about the singer's whereabouts, making many ironic jokes. Little did he know that his student did not have an affair with the singer, but he himself became the lover of this promiscuous woman and even married her. As soon as this scandal came out, he became a veritable "moral garbage". The school authorities dismissed him from public service as a matter of course.

After Professor Trash's mask of "upholding moral principles" was torn away, he went out of his way and openly appeared as a "moral trash", treating the singer Frelich as a powerful person in his hands. Tool, colluding with her, colluding with her, and selling moral garbage. They opened casinos, turned their apartments into brothels, and were willing to be cuckolds, making the small seaport city a mess. The people in this city, from celebrities to ordinary people, including his previous students, seemed to have lost their souls because of this casino and brothel, and immoral incidents were common. Many people went bankrupt and even committed suicide. The rubbish professor is not ashamed of this, but proud of it. His persecution and desire for revenge reached its peak. Finally, when his last "mortal enemy" - his student Lohmann (Lohmann) stayed with his wife, he went crazy and completely lost his mind. He roughly grabbed Lohmann's wallet and tried to strangle the singer Freilich to death, thus violating the criminal law and was sent to prison. When another of his students, Kieselack, saw this scene, he said mockingly: "Finally a truckload of garbage was transported away."
