From the judgment of the Jiang Ge case, we can see the situation and the law

On January 10, 2022, the Chengyang District People's Court of Qingdao City, Shandong Province, rendered a first-instance judgment in the dispute between the plaintiff Jiang Qiulian and the defendant Liu Nuanxi over the right to life: The defendant Liu Nuanxi compensated the plaintiff Jiang Qiulian for various economic losses of 496,000 yuan and a consolation payment of 200,000 yuan for mental damage within 10 days of the effective date of the judgment, and bear all the case acceptance fees. As soon as this judgment came out, all sectors of society reacted greatly.

This judgment is a civil judgment more than four years after the Jiang Ge case, and this judgment not only gives great comfort to Jiang Ge's mother, who is sad and desperate for the loss of her beloved daughter, but also highlights the clear guidance of the law to respect morality and benevolence in society, and avoids the moral decline that may result from only talking about the law and ignoring ethics and human feelings.

At the end of the judgment, the judge wrote: "This court believes that helping the needy and helping the poor is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and honesty and friendship are an important part of the core values of socialism. Judicial adjudication shall guard the bottom line of social morality, carry forward virtue and righteousness, and guide the whole society to revere virtue and goodness." This paragraph is a good interpretation of the thoughts in the hearts of many ordinary people, if the brave and benevolent who see the righteous and courageous or help the people in difficulty, after helping the poor and the needy, they fall into a desperate situation, then it is extremely unfavorable both at the legal level and in terms of social morality.

The 200,000 yuan of spiritual consolation money, although not enough to completely make up for Mother Jiang's heartache, is already a strong support. The court wrote in the judgment: "The plaintiff Jiang Qiulian, as Jiang Ge's mother, raised her daughter alone with Hard Work and Provided for her daughter to study abroad, Jiang Ge was killed in the process of rescuing Liu Nuanxi, Jiang Qiulian lost her beloved daughter, so she suffered great pain, and then ran and toiled to deal with the aftermath abroad, and her heart was exhausted, which was sympathetic and should be comforted." Liu Nuanxi's irritating remarks after the incident further hurt Jiang Qiulian's feelings, and she should bear the liability for mental damage according to law. This reasonable combination of judgments has also received a lot of support.

The love and reason of judicial judgments are the progress of the times and the guidance of social justice and justice.
