See love or see hurt
Chief Commentator Jing Wei
It is said that when Mandela was young, the teacher once painted a small black dot on a large white cloth and asked everyone what they saw. Everyone replied," "A little black dot." The teacher said, "No! It's a big white cloth! The black dot is just a tiny dot on a white cloth. "In fact, if you think about it, our perspective and interpretation of many news events are also the same, some people see black spots, some people see white cloths. It's hard to say which is right or wrong, because life itself is not black and white, and there are gray areas in the middle.
On the morning of July 26, in the Anliang Department Store in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, 30-year-old Xiang Liujuan took her son, who was less than 3 years old, to the elevator elevator upstairs, and when approaching the elevator arrival gate on the previous floor, the elevator pedal suddenly flipped over, and at the moment of being caught in the elevator, Xiang Liujuan struggled forward with both hands, lifted up and sent the child to the ground, while she herself was engulfed by the elevator in just 8 seconds. When the rescuers arrived at the scene to rescue Xiang Liujuan, the young mother had died. In this incident, some people saw the elevator "eat people", and some people saw the greatness of maternal love.
Recently, two years ago, a report entitled "Abducted Women Become Female Teachers in Mountain Villages" was turned over again, causing a big uproar among netizens -- Gao Yanmin, an 18-year-old migrant worker sister, fell into the hands of human traffickers and was sold several times after being resold and humiliated to an illiterate sheep in the xia'an village of Quyang County. She committed suicide and attempted to escape many times, and later, as the most educated person in the village (junior high school), she became a substitute teacher for the village primary school, supporting a group of mountain children "one-man all-round school". After the incident entered the media's attention, Gao Yanmin was called "the most beautiful teacher" and was named "the top ten people who moved Hebei in 2006"; in 2009, he made a movie "The Woman Who Married the Mountain". Similarly, some people see China moving, and some people see the rule of law online.
This is where life is full of contradictions and paradoxes. I believe that if that mother can choose her own destiny, I think she must prefer to be like an ordinary mother, giving her child more daily love, rather than leaving the last love to her children in the tragic and vicious life like now; if Gao Yanmin did not enter the media's eyes and become the "most beautiful teacher", moving Hebei and Touching China, would she also be like thousands of people who were insulted and damaged like her, struggling in life, but not attracting anyone's stop and attention? They are really like Murong Xi's poem: "I can't choose fate, it is fate that chooses me." Whether you see love or hurt in them, in fact, it is the crushing of fate and their struggles.
I also resent the use of warm pulses to cover up the cold truth and reality behind news events, but what if not? The narrative of "red and swollen place, bright as a peach blossom" is certainly disgusting, but is it necessary to let the red and swollen place continue to red and swell, fester, and then show it to others? For Gao Yanmin, after all, this has made a slight change in her life, and for her, this is already a small window opened by fate when it closes a door to her. And for Xiang Liujuan, at least it can make the children who grow up in the future remember the last maternal love she struggled to support. Life is sometimes like a bowl of chicken soup full of flies, which can be discarded and discarded for people who are full of wine and food, but for people who are hungry and have no choice, they can only swallow with tears.
There is a popular saying on the Internet: "Life is sometimes like a rape, if you can't resist, then enjoy it", which is a bit biased, but we must admit that for the ravages and destruction of life, many times many people are powerless to resist, then, we have been immersed in pain and can not extricate ourselves, or choose to face life and steal life, or simply like the Swiss dramatist Dürrenmatt's play "The Old Woman Returns home" said: "The world once turned me into a prostitute, Now I'm going to turn the whole world into a brothel"? I think a lot of times, we still have to reach a compromise with life.
O'Brin, president of Hanover Insurance, once said it best: "In the absence of external control, people think they are free." But the fact that they are imprisoned in a deeper, hidden bondage is that they see the world in only one way." And for many news parties, your opinion, your comment, and even your anger will not help them, even sprinkle salt on their wounds. Gao Yanmin just chose one of her ways of survival, and the aura of "the most beautiful female teacher" can at least give her bleak life a glimmer of color and a glimmer of hope. In the cruelty and coldness of the elevator "eating people", Xiang Liujuan's great maternal love can at least make us feel a touch of warmth of human nature, and we will not be so desperate for the world. I happened to see a speech by the novelist Xia Shang on WeChat, which said: "For us personally, the era is a big word, we only need to do ourselves, that is, a little repair to the times." "If you are a policeman, try your best to fight kidnapping, catch one more trafficker, perhaps, there will be one less Gao Yanmin; if you are an elevator worker or the person in charge of the mall, maintain the elevator so that it does not hurt people, perhaps, it will not let more Xiang Liujuan pay a painful price." In this era, there is no shortage of anger, only lack of reason, no shortage of "keyboard man", only lack of practitioners.
