Not surprisingly, Tao Chongyuan will graduate soon, put on a suit and take the post of China UnionPay.

But all this came to an abrupt end on March 26th.

At six o'clock in the morning of March 26th, Tao Chongyuan had a talk with his mother at school. The theme was his tutor Wang Pan. About an hour later, Tao Chongyuan walked back to the dormitory alone, followed by his mother. On the way, he suddenly ran to the dormitory and ran into the dormitory without waiting for his mother to react. By the time his mother ran to the door of the dormitory building, Tao Chongyuan had fallen downstairs.

On March 3 1 day, the Propaganda Department of Wuhan University of Technology replied to the cover news: After the incident, the school attached great importance to it and immediately set up a special class to investigate and handle related matters.

"How can I get rid of him?"

At 2 am on March 26th, Tao Mu received a phone call from his son Tao Chongyuan.

On the phone, the graduate student who was about to graduate told her mother that she was "uncomfortable". Taomu is very worried after hearing this, and plans to see her son tomorrow. But Tao Chongyuan said, "Mom, don't come here."

Tao Mu works in Huazhong Normal University, which is close to his son's school-Wuhan University of Technology. Early the next morning, she went to Tao Chongyuan's school and asked Tao Chongyuan's sister Tao Hui (a pseudonym) who was studying at Huazhong University to come over.

The surveillance video shows that at 6: 00 am18, Tao Chongyuan walked out of the dormitory with his mobile phone and met his mother. Mother and son go to the canteen to have breakfast together. In the canteen, he once again told his mother about the "oppression and control" of his mentor Wang Pan. I really don't know how to get rid of him.

Tao Mu can only enlighten her son and offer to take him to the hospital. Tao Chongyuan refused, and then said that he would go back to the dormitory to get books.

Tao Mu didn't think much and walked to the dormitory with him. On the way, Tao Chongyuan suddenly came running. She didn't respond. She came to her senses and soon caught up with him. As soon as she got to the door of Tao Chongyuan's dormitory, she watched her son fall from the upstairs.

Tao Mu froze and ran to her son's side to cry a moment later. Then her daughter Tao Hui came to school. Under the contact of other students, an ambulance took Tao Chongyuan and her mother and daughter to the Army General Hospital.

During the first aid, the person in charge of Wuhan University of Technology came to the hospital. After a series of rescues, Tao Chongyuan finally died after being rescued.

That night, Tao Chongyuan's high school classmates heard the news and began to come back from all over the country. "Almost the whole class is back." Zeng Qing (pseudonym), who is very close to Tao Chongyuan, said.

On the morning of 27th, when Tao Chongyuan's dormitory opened, Tao Hui invited one of his brother's high school classmates into the dormitory to get his brother's important things. Finally, they got Tao Chongyuan's laptop and drugs, but they didn't find the mobile phone, ID card and USB flash drive.

Regarding the lost mobile phone, Tao Hui turned to the school security office for help. According to the school's positioning, Tao Chongyuan's mobile phone finally appeared in the east campus of the school, and then the mobile phone was turned off and could not be found.

The police of Mafangshan police station, who went to the police after Tao Chongyuan jumped off the building, took a coat, key and a shoe that Tao Chongyuan left on the rooftop and decided that Tao Chongyuan committed suicide.

Before this, no one thought that Tao Chongyuan might commit suicide. "Tao Chongyuan is very sunny and has a good relationship with everyone. We told him something unhappy and he enlightened us. " Zeng Qing said.

Mix (a pseudonym), a college classmate who often meets Tao Chongyuan, doesn't think that Tao Chongyuan has any mental illness. "On the 23rd, he also promised to accompany me to eat crayfish at 3 1 next weekend. On the morning of the 25 th, we also saw him enlighten a classmate in a circle of friends. " Mix recalled.

Known as the "pottery manager"

Someone once questioned that Tao Chongyuan jumped off the building because he quarreled with his mother in the morning. Tao Hui denied: "Our family has a good relationship. My brother will tell us something. We have long known the contradiction between him and Wang Pan. How could he quarrel with his mother and jump off a building! "

Wang Pan in her mouth is Wang Pan, the graduate tutor of Tao Chongyuan. "Sometimes, 24 hours a day, Chongyuan has more than ten hours to accompany him!" Zeng Qing said.

In Tao Chongyuan's laptop, Tao Hui and his high school classmates found the chat screenshots and materials arranged in the folder. Chat screenshots show that Wang Pan often asks Tao Chongyuan to help him bring food, sometimes arranges for him to clean his room, and even asks Tao Chongyuan to help him find glasses at home.

In the face of Wang Pan's "call", Tao Chongyuan will immediately reply "Here!" "Yes!" , and executed immediately. "We found that on February 22nd, Wang Pan asked Chongyuan to help him cook. Because of the rain, and Chongyuan was in a bad mood and didn't eat, his attitude was a bit cold and he was criticized by Wang Pan. " Mix (a pseudonym) said.

In the impression of friends, Tao Chongyuan was often called away by Wang Pan. "Wang Pan will ask Chongyuan to come to his house at eight or nine in the evening." Mix said. He recalled that once Tao Chongyuan and his classmates went to a KTV party near the school. After everyone had dinner together, Tao Chongyuan offered to go back and help Wang Pan, and then left.

"Everyone was also called Chongyuan' Manager Tao' because Chongyuan helped Wang Pan manage many things," Meeks recalled. "If he has his own business, he needs to take time off from Wang Pan, including weekends and holidays."

What shocked Tao Hui even more was that in some chats between Tao Chongyuan and Wang Pan, Wang Pan called him "Dad" and Wang Pan called him "Son". During the chat, Wang Pan showed Tao Chongyuan a screenshot of others chatting with himself. In the screenshot, Wang Pan said, "Frankly speaking, those six words." The other person replied, "Dad, I love you forever."

Tao Chongyuan also replied to Wang Pan after seeing the screenshot: "Dad, I love you forever." A similar situation also appeared in the short message chat between the two. This time, Tao Chongyuan said that he was still not used to saying so. "I personally feel that it is very fake to say it. My method is to look at action and performance. "

In this regard, Wang Pan said that Tao Chongyuan "has many problems in flexibility, which will definitely limit development."

After seeing the screenshot, Tao Chongyuan replied to Wang Pan, "Dad, I love you forever."

"Be grateful when you meet people" and "bind"

Wang Pan had already taught Tao Chongyuan when he was an undergraduate. Tao Chongyuan's major is automation, and Wang Pan is a teacher of the Institute of Automation. Because of his excellent study, Tao Chongyuan was appreciated by Wang Pan and entered the laboratory in Wang Pan. "At that time, Chongyuan was still very grateful to Wang Pan, grateful for his kindness to meet him, and they had a good relationship and would have dinner together." Tao Hui said.

"The modern control theory he gave us is a compulsory course. Wang Pan talked about his grades in the first 25 minutes of class, and then went to class. Once a student quarreled with him in class. " Mix said.

Tao Chongyuan graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Wang Pan expressed dissatisfaction with this and strongly hoped that Tao Chongyuan could stay in his post for postgraduate study. Then, after consulting with Tao Chongyuan, Wang Pan issued an announcement.

In the announcement, Wang Pan promised that Tao Chongyuan would receive an annual grant of 5,000 yuan during his graduate studies, and he would be given priority to be recommended to enter BEACON, the science and technology center of the National Natural Science Foundation of the United States, for doctoral study or visiting research.

"At that time, I felt that since Wang Pan promised to send him abroad to study for a doctorate after graduation, he suggested that he should go to Wuhan Institute of Technology to study, and now he regrets it." Mix said. After receiving the promise, Tao Chongyuan gave up his qualification to study as a graduate student at the Chinese University of Science and Technology and followed Wang Pan to study as a graduate student.

After studying as a graduate student in Wang Pan, the relationship between Tao Chongyuan and Wang Pan began to change, and he gradually told his family and friends about his mentor's "instigation". "We all advised him to be patient and leave after graduation." Tao Hui said.

In the third year of research, Tao Chongyuan, who was about to graduate, didn't wait for the news that Wang Pan recommended him to go abroad, so he contacted the laboratory of a foreign school and asked his tutor about doctoral research.

"If you want to study abroad, it takes about three steps: tutor recommendation, college approval, and admission to foreign schools, but Wang Pan didn't do the first step." Mix said. Because foreign schools need the approval of graduate tutors to study PhD, foreign teachers contacted Wang Pan, but Wang Pan didn't agree.

"Chongyuan always wanted to continue to do scientific research, but also wanted to get rid of Wang Pan's' control' and had to choose to find a job after graduation and leave Wang Pan." Zeng Qing said.

Tao Chongyuan started looking for a job without telling Wang Pan, and got the job opportunity of China UnionPay. But when Wang Pan found out, he suggested that Tao Chongyuan voluntarily quit his football team and left the office.

In Tao Chongyuan's computer, there is a personal note, which mentioned that he worked in Wuhan after graduation and continued to provide help and financial support for the football team and mentor Wang Pan. Wang Pan suggested that Tao Chongyuan "send it to the research group."

After learning that Tao Chongyuan was looking for a job, Wang Pan issued an "ultimatum."

Kick if you can, and roll if you can't.

The football team that Tao Chongyuan refers to is the C & ampd football team established for Wang Pan in the school, whose full name is the football team of the School of Control and Decision-making, C & Wang Pan; The Institute was established in 2000. Team members are mainly composed of Wang Pan laboratory members and other people who know Wang Pan. Members are required to pay annual registration fees of 100 (on campus) and 500 (off campus).

Tao Chongyuan helped manage the affairs of the team, so he was also called "Tao Team" by other players.

In Tao Chongyuan's computer, the team's training plan and financial statements are kept. When Tao Hui sorted them out, he found that his younger brother also "donated" various bonuses to the team and the institute.

In 20 16, Tao Chongyuan won the "Professor He Wenjiao Scholarship". In a short message from Wang Pan to Tao Chongyuan, Wang Pan suggested: "You should donate all the He Wenjiao scholarships this year (after they are distributed)." Tao Chongyuan replied: "Yes! Agree to your distribution. " In the QQ chat, Tao Chongyuan told Wang Pan: "Professor He Wenjiao's scholarship has arrived. According to what I said before, I should donate this 6,000 yuan to the institute for your approval. "

This team that is not qualified to participate in school competitions has different values in the eyes of some student players. "I think this team is a bit of Pan's personal toy, just to make him have fun. In each team, he will assign the strongest players to his own group, then win another group with a big score and announce the score every time. " Wang Yi (a pseudonym), a student who quit Team D only one year after C & nbsp; said.

Wen Qiang (pseudonym), a former member of the Institute of Automation, also said, "He should find someone to play football with him, because he can swear at will in that team." "Everyone coaxed him, passed the ball to him and didn't defend him." Some students will join the football team in order to get into the laboratory in Wang Pan.

In the eyes of other players in the school, Wang Pan's skill is average. "When he kicks a ball that everyone thinks is ordinary, he will ask his players' how is the foot', and then they will applaud and say' Mr. Wang played well'. We will snicker. " Wen Qiang said for example. TongFu.kabu (a pseudonym) of the C & ampD team thinks that Wang Pan needs praise from others, so he likes to perform on the court.

Wang Yi further said, "If you break the ball from his feet, he will chase you for a crazy foul until you are kicked down;" When you are on a team with him, he will always tell you to run and run. If you don't catch the ball he kicked, you will be embarrassed. "

Something like "So-and-so, are you a pig!" "Kick if you can, and roll if you can't." Almost every C & ampd team suffered from this almost insulting abuse. Individual players said that "playing here is not happy" and chose to leave the team; Most players who are not Wang Pan students say that they can endure and hide. However, as a disciple of Wang Pan, Tao Chongyuan had to contact Wang Pan every day, and there was no way.

Violence and control on the court continue to students' studies. According to informed students, as early as 20 15, Wang Pan tied students' independent will with graduation and future as a rope. After a school-level football match in Wuhan University of Technology, a player who played under Wang Pan was invited by the school team coach to join the school team because of his excellent performance. Wang Pan threatened the student not to join because he was expelled from the laboratory and was not allowed to graduate with a master's degree. A similar choice also happened to Tao Chongyuan. In the choice of studying for a PhD, working and continuing to be tied to Wang Pan, Tao Chongyuan was caught by the "future" rope tied by Wang Pan.

From 20 12 to 20 18, Tao Chongyuan spent six years in the team. 20 17 10 team's newsletter and photos commending Tao Chongyuan for winning the "Outstanding Contribution Award" are still hung on the homepage of C & ampd's football team website. In one of them, Wang Pan and Tao Chongyuan stand among other players who won the award. In the eyes of teammates, this quiet, modest and good-natured boy stood upright with a certificate of merit.

"Before the accident, he was my respected teacher. He is generous to his lab classmates and team classmates, and often gives subsidies to poor students. Usually I often greet security guards and even passers-by, and I feel very enthusiastic. But after the accident, I didn't see his remorse and reflection, and I still felt very narcissistic. From then on, I felt chilling. " TongFu.kabu said so.

Wang Pan is called the "son" of Tao Chongyuan.

Mentors spread information about depression.

After Tao Chongyuan jumped from the building, his family and high school classmates made three rounds of negotiations with the school from noon on the 27th.

"We showed the school some screenshots of the chat between the two people, hoping that the school would assist in the investigation, but the school thought that Tao Chongyuan committed suicide, and neither the school nor the tutor was at fault." Tao Hui said.

Tao Chongyuan's relatives and friends offered to see Wang Pan, and the school replied, "This is meaningless. If there is anything you can talk to the school. " Since jumping off a building, Tao Chongyuan's relatives and friends have never seen Wang Pan, and there is no contact information of Wang Pan.

In the second consultation, the school proposed: "The school and the tutor have no responsibility for the time being. The school gave Tao Chongyuan's family 50,000 yuan for funeral expenses out of humanitarianism."

After Tao Chongyuan jumped from the building, Wang Pan expressed his memory of Tao Chongyuan for two days in the group with the students, and said, "He had a very close relationship with his mentor. He appreciates my independent thinking and has expressed my desire to learn many times, and I feel particularly stressed. " Since then, a lot of information and reports about depression have been published online.

After Tao Hui released the incident in Weibo, on March 3 1, Wang Pan said in a group called "I know the difference" that relevant evidence would be thrown out.

On March 3 1 day, the Propaganda Department of Wuhan University of Technology replied to the cover news: On March 26th, a graduate student in our school fell to his death. The public security organ concluded that he fell from a building and died, excluding homicide. After the incident, the school attached great importance to it and immediately set up a special class to investigate and deal with related matters, and has already fed back the preliminary investigation to the family members.
