Reflections on the Peng Yu case

The Peng Yu case should have a deep impression on people in China. This is actually an incident in 2006. It is about an office worker, namely the party involved, Peng Yu, who sent a fallen grandmother to the hospital and was accused by her grandmother The story of going to court ended with a reconciliation between the two parties, but the stamina of this matter is very strong, and I believe that many people remember it until now. I only learned about this case recently, but in fact this case is not special, it should be said that it is too common, but after more than ten years, why do people still remember it deeply, only to say the incident itself and the judge's sentence "It's not you. Collision, why are you going to help her?” The impact of the shock still shocked the society at that time, and even the current society.

The case went through:

• Peng Yu said that he found an old grandmother Xu Shoulan fell, so he walked over to help her up and accompanied her to the hospital for treatment.
• Xu Shoulan said that she saw Peng Yu knock her down with her own eyes, and said that she and her husband both have pensions, one son is in the United States, and the other is a police officer.
• Chen Erchun said that Xu Shoulan ran to the third bus with a thermos bottle in his hand, and fell for some unknown reason when he ran to the back of the second bus. He didn't see it, but he saw Peng Yuxiang who got off at the back door of the second bus. After walking a few steps to help, he also went to help himself, and asked Xu Shoulan's family contact information, and called her son and concubine. He didn't go to the hospital together. He saw Xu Shoulan's son coming and left. The atmosphere at that time was very peaceful. Xu Shoulan and her son thanked Peng Yu and him and said, "It won't hurt you."

These three short texts probably explain the case, and everyone should be able to clearly know who is at fault and who is right. Of course, the case is over here, and Ms. Xu Shoulan is no longer there, so there is no need for us to argue about right or wrong. I What I want to discuss is just an extension of this matter to the question "Should I save? Should I help?"

Although I said in the last article that I am cold-blooded and unable to express my emotions, and even feel that I am a psychopath, it is undeniable that my genes or my own heart, I am a person who is willing to help others, of course I will not go I care about the problems after helping, and talk about a few things about the people I have helped, and even the people around me say that if they were them, they would not reach out. I am not showing off how enthusiastic I am to help others, but I am sharing.

• In the second year of studying in Canada, on the plane back to Vancouver, a boy sat next to me. I slept or did my own thing during the nearly ten-hour flight. Before I got off the plane, the flight attendant Handed us the information that needs to be filled in for entry. I have flown many times, so I just started filling it out. This is the boy next to me who has been looking around, as if looking for a flight attendant but didn't know how to speak until he looked After arriving at my passport, he forced a sentence in English and asked me if I could speak Chinese. After I heard it, I went straight back to him. When he heard me saying that I was meeting, all the tension eased. He was embarrassed to say that he was The first time I went abroad, I went to study by myself. His language was not good. He didn't know how to fill in these. He asked me if I could help him. Of course, this situation is very common on the plane, so I taught him how to do it one by one. I wrote, and after getting off the plane, he followed me closely. I only remembered the matter of customs. I asked him to find out that he was not studying in Vancouver, but in Victoria Island, which is a small island on the other side of the coast, which means He was about to turn around. He really can't speak any decent English. Although he's a boy, he's tall and strong, but it's the first time he travels alone to a place where he can't speak the language and where he doesn't know his life. A feeling of helplessness, I asked him to follow me. There will be a transfer place before the customs, and I will tell him to board the plane from there. I don’t know if God is going to test him or me. The flight is the last one, and the planes are currently grounded. They must not take off until the weather conditions are good tomorrow, so there are two options: 1. Let him wait at the airport until he can board the plane. 2. Help him find a place to live and wait for the airline's notification. Finally, my friend who came to pick me up lives near the airport. He is a boy and a Chinese. So, I took him out of the airport, arranged for him to stay at my friend's house for one night, and then asked my friend to contact him about the flight status tomorrow and send him to the airport. When he got to the airport, of course, my friend was as enthusiastic as I was, and he helped. The boy I rescued back then is still friends.
• I went to Korea to purchase, and met a Taiwanese girl who was released on the plane. She wanted to go to Korea with a friend, but she forgot to bring her passport and went back to get it, so the flight was delayed. Originally, her friend said she would wait for her at the airport, but in the end she was a friend She went to the hotel alone with Wi-Fi. It was her first time in Korea. She didn’t know Korean and didn’t know how to fill in the checkpoints, let alone take the subway. My friend and I asked her where she lived in Myeongdong. It is Hongdae, so I took her out of the customs all the way, bought a ticket, shared our Wi-Fi on the subway to let her contact her friends, and we also told her to get off at Myeongdong Station. Look at the sign and go to the exit number. After you go out, the hotel will be there. It's just by the side. Now the problem comes. Her friend said that she is going to the concert, so she may not be able to wait for her. I asked her to tell her friend to leave the key in the lobby. When she arrives, she can take the key and go upstairs. She Once again, she was released by her friend, and she added my line before getting off the bus. When we got to Hongdae, she called me to say she was there, but my friend didn't leave the key, what should I do? I just rolled my eyes a hundred times to send her friend off and said, "You leave your luggage in the lobby first, and then you will be nearby. Buy some food, we can’t help you, because we have our own business, many stores in Myeongdong can speak Chinese, and there are guides who translate, if you really can’t, just ask the guides.” She sent a message late at night. Thank you for the message, and now every festival will send me a blessing message.

In fact, I can stop when I borrow their pens and help them fill out the form, but my personality does not allow it. I hope they are safe. Helping someone who speaks the same language is the warmest . I think so. I don’t want to praise myself for how great I am, but for me it’s the same feeling. If I meet someone today, there is someone who is willing to help me. Will definitely be grateful.

It's just that why are we discussing whether to save or not to help?

Because too many people just want to do a good thing to help strangers, but they don't get any thanks in the end, and they are falsely accused by the other party. This happens frequently, and people can't help but wonder what they learned before.

In the Analects of Confucius, it is said in the testimony, "Seeing righteousness and not doing it, there is no brave person."

When we were young, adults told us to be kind and to lend a hand to help people who are in trouble. Now we have all become people who "do nothing to do what is right" . Too many incidents have made us lose our courage, and we didn't need to think about it originally. A behavior, and now we have to think over and over again whether to do it or not. YouTube, which I like very much, said something very touching when she talked about this case. She said that the avalanche effect brought about by the Peng Yu case is

Let the rogue see the opportunity to defraud people and make a fortune, let the good people see the price of bravery, and let the ordinary people find an excuse to die.

How many lives are lost because of people's indifference or fear. On the news, I saw a girl who had a car accident fell to the ground, and many people passed by, no one helped her, and even called an ambulance, and finally someone called an ambulance, but when she arrived at the hospital, the girl He had already died on the way; every day he heard the cry of the child next door and the beatings and scolding of the adults, even if he heard the child crying heartbreakingly every day, none of the neighbors picked up the phone and called the police until the child had been abused and died. I sighed that I heard it every day, thinking it was not a big deal. I think everyone has seen and heard the above situations. When did people become so indifferent? What is it that causes people to become indifferent?

After reading a lot of news and reports, no matter a certain part of the people makes most people lose their courage and subvert their moral values, but I don't think I can , of course we can't change other people, at least, we don't want to be that kind of people , if everyone I still hold a little courage of "helping others is the foundation of happiness". I hope everyone can continue to persevere, so that even in the dark there is a little light and a little warmth in the cold.
