At the time of the Spring Festival homecoming tide, the outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing as the capital of a country has begun to touch the hearts of countless people:
According to the data of the seventh national census, the permanent population of Beijing is 21.893 million, and the foreign population is 8.418 million.
The vast majority of these immigrants are the main force in the New Year's wave of returning home. Therefore, the outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing represents that whether these millions of floating people can return to their hometowns, how to return to their hometowns, and whether they will infect the virus to other provinces and cities during the journey has become the focus of attention.
Among them, a father looking for a son, a son who shoulders the responsibility of treating his parents, if it were not for a publicly reported information, Henan man Yue Ronggui (pseudonym), may still be a member of thousands of ordinary people struggling to climb out of the quagmire of fate.
According to common sense, this matter is probably two directions of development:
First, through the intervention of the police and the help of the masses, he finally found his son.
Second, the son was found, but he had been victimized or died unexpectedly, and the couple who lost their son accepted the fact and returned to a peaceful life.
No matter which ending, good or bad, there is always a clear answer, so that the family that stopped two years ago can continue to move forward.
But I never expected that this became a Rashomon:
The Weihai Public Security Bureau reported that the body had been found in 2020 and DNA comparison had been made, and it was the eldest son of Yue Ronggui and his wife who had disappeared.
However, Yue Ronggui and his wife said that they had never seen the DNA identification report, and even the police refused to view the report, nor were they allowed to conduct DNA identification on the body themselves.
More than a year has passed, and it is difficult to determine whether this huge disagreement is a lack of communication between the two sides or whether there is indeed a problem.
We also have no way of knowing whether the father of this son-seeking is unwilling to accept the truth, or whether he feels the anger of being deceived from the corpse and the paternity test, so that for two whole years, he has been living a "Beijing folding" life of "looking for a son during the day and working at night".
It's just that this incident makes me see how difficult it is for an ordinary family to make a sound and realize its demands.
The two years before that were the two years he had no way to ask for help.
A father who has been left behind by the torrent of the times, a newly adult son who almost has to repeat the trajectory of his parents' fate, whether he is alive or dead, has no chance to tell the pain of his life.
Even more realistically, through this positive nucleic acid, through the circulation, he can get so much goodwill from this society, otherwise, he is the "migrant worker" and "social bottom" in the hearts of most people in the city, and may be regarded as a "social instability factor" and "potential criminal".
After that, even if he got the attention and support of the public, he had to face the situation in "Let the Bullets Fly" to open his stomach to prove his innocence, how could he prove to the doubters: These two years are indeed looking for a son, not a Bo concern?
Even, he insisted on the road of finding his son for two years, but in a somewhat absurd way, he was drawn a rest.
Do you want a son? The body was found.
Do you want results? The public security bureau investigation showed that "no criminal facts were found and the conditions for filing a case were not met."
Do you want a DNA report? Probably in the near future, you will get a fully compliant and legal report.
This is not to say that the Public Security Bureau has really done anything wrong, nor does it mean that the police must take on the responsibility of appeasing a father who does not want to accept reality, and there are some things that are beyond the reach of human and technical skills.
It's just that this missing or even dead child, this family who is suspicious of the corpse, should have been paid attention to their demands earlier and treated more patiently.
In a sense, being tested positive for COVID-19 is like a turning point in the family's fate, or more bluntly, a fortunate thing.
There are already similar remarks on the Internet:
In the face of the situation of netizens spontaneously donating money to help, some people said, "Relying on my son can make a lot of money";
In the face of police notices and different statements from the Yue family, some people said, "Jump up and down, Bo pay attention."
All this, on the contrary, makes people feel even more sad. In the era of traffic, even if there are "lucky people" such as Sun Haiyang and Yue Ronggui who are spoiled by traffic, so that they have more autonomy to seek help, there will inevitably be more parents, children, men, women and children who have completely lost their voices.
Even more and more. Whether it is due to the siphon effect, or the information cocoon. In short, these people will lose more and more of their right to speak in the grand issues of society, until people in different living environments and social situations become parallel lines that never intersect.
At that time, how should they go to find their relatives and defend their rights?
How not to be passively pushed into the traffic vortex, to seek the truth in controversy and doubt, but to have the initiative from the beginning, to decide whether you want to be seen and helped?
Such anxiety should not only be the collective concern of the part of the population that cannot speak, but also the concern of those who have the ability to export even a little bit of opinion.
