今年五月二十三日,湖北省黄石市的黄石日报刊登了一篇小品文《捉贼》,作者是大冶钢厂的青年工人。说的是材料员发现木料被盗,当他赶到保卫员家里去报案时,屋里传出了保卫员的声音:“我早就盯住你了”!材料员听了一喜,暗暗称赞保卫员的机警。进门一看,保卫员逮到的“贼”却是那几根木料。作品见报后,市公安部门某负责人即向作者所在单位保卫部门指示:“如有保卫人员偷木料,要严肃处理;如果没有则要严肃处理作者。”于是,作者受到了审讯、污辱、围攻,甚至黄石日报社也受到了冲击。作者忍无可忍,写了许多信件分别寄给本省和中央一些报社,呼吁编辑同志伸张正义。遗憾的是,许多报社置若罔闻。独有中国青年报给予了重视,于八月十六日以《一篇小品文惹来的横祸》为题刊登了作者的来信,同时附载了那篇小品文。这件事引起了很大的反应。许多读者来信对作者表示支持。而该厂一些保卫人员则极为不满,写了辩白的信,寄给报社。中国青年报又一次派出记者对事件作调查,同时要求黄石日报编辑部提供情况,于十月十一日以《对<一篇小品文惹来的横祸>的反应》为题开辟专栏,加编者按“原文照登”了保卫人员的申辩信,同时刊登了黄石日报总编室写的《我们的补充》,以及中国青年报记者写的《记者的调查》。 On May 23 this year, Huangshi Daily in Huangshi City, Hubei Province published an essay “Catching Thieves,” written by a young worker at Daye Steel Works.
