In recent years, the problem of "whether to help or not" has sparked controversy because of the fall of the elderly. And one of the highly praised comments is, "It's not that the old people have become bad, but that the bad people have become old." ”
There was once a report that "the uncle rescued people in the river and caused the boy to become a vegetative person and was claimed by his family for millions", which aroused widespread concern in the society.
The nearly 60-year-old man jumped into the river to save people when a group of young and strong young men were still hesitating, originally to preserve evidence and take pictures, but it was speculated by everyone to save people because he "wanted to be popular".
This seemingly life-saving feat did not receive the credit it deserved, but instead became the object of anger for the family of the drowning boy. What's going on here?
1. Accidental rescue during morning exercise
"Someone has fallen into the water, help!" Hao Yizheng and his five-year-old grandson were exercising in the fitness area of a nearby park on an ordinary morning. Suddenly, there was a desperate cry for help from the lake at the other end of the park.
Hearing someone shouting for help, 58-year-old Uncle Hao immediately stopped exercising and ran to the lake with his grandson. When they arrived at the scene, they saw a boy of five or six years old struggling in the center of the lake, while no one from the surrounding crowd came to the rescue.
Uncle Hao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go into the water to rescue. Before jumping into the lake, he had his grandson wait on the shore and took a picture of the boy who fell into the water to prevent misunderstanding.
Despite his approaching age, he still swam to the middle of the lake with all his might, and successfully rescued the boy who was already limp. According to eyewitnesses, the uncle was struggling throughout the rescue process, but he still insisted on sending the boy back to the shore. With the help of others, the two were able to get out safely.
This courageous act won the praise and support of all. According to his recollection, when he climbed ashore in embarrassment after rescuing people, he had little strength left.
Uncle Hao himself didn't know how to perform basic rescue operations, and at this time, someone in the crowd of onlookers had already dialed the 120 emergency number, so he felt that there was nothing to do with him after that, so he left.
However, in order to prevent him from being falsely accused by the boy's family, he took photos again to preserve evidence. But he didn't know that it was these actions that inadvertently sparked controversy.
Afterwards, Hao Yi said that he did not regret his original decision. He confessed that he had hesitated, but could not turn a blind eye to an innocent life. He believes that this is a moral choice that everyone can encounter, and that everyone must be ready to act in the face of life-threatening risks.
However, Uncle Hao didn't know that it was precisely because he kindly went into the lake to save people, but he took pictures before and after the operation, which made him face some unnecessary trouble.
2. "Kindness to save people is false"
Uncle Hao kindly rescued the drowning boy ashore, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but two months later, the little boy's mother Zhao Xiu came to the door, claiming that the other party's death did not save him and delayed the best time for treatment, and asked him to apologize and compensate for medical expenses.
According to Zhao Xiu, after receiving a call from the hospital, she learned that her son had suffered damage to various organs due to drowning for too long, and was very likely to become a vegetative state.
Unable to accept this reality, she lost control of her emotions and even blamed the doctor for mishandling it. Later, he found a local TV station, hoping to force Uncle Hao to publicly apologize to him and bear the financial losses through the TV program.
In the show, the woman tearfully asked Uncle Hao why he took photos at a critical moment, instead of going directly into the river to save people, and even took pictures after rescuing him instead of sending the child to the hospital.
She accused the other party of deliberately delaying the treatment in order to be popular, which led to the death of her son. Although the guests at the scene stood up for Uncle Hao and pointed out that he had done his best to help him in the emergency situation at that time, the child's mother was still stubborn.
In the following days, Zhao Xiu continued to attack Hao Yi through various channels, and even sued him in court. This caused Uncle Hao's life to fall into great trouble, and he began to doubt whether his original decision was correct, and even began to doubt the goodwill of the world.
Behind this dispute, we see that there are big differences in the understanding and evaluation of righteous and courageous acts in society. There is a general call to respect the hard work of each hero, and to avoid unnecessary distress for his good deeds.
In the face of such problems, all sectors of society should actively coordinate and solve them to promote positive energy and promote the construction of a harmonious and beautiful social environment.
In this incident, Uncle Hao's righteous deeds have been supported and praised by many netizens, and it has also made everyone realize that the noble spirit of courage to save the lives of others is worth advocating and inheriting.
No matter when and where, as long as the conditions allow, everyone should be brave enough to stand up and help those in need. Of course, in the process of righteousness and courage, we also need to pay attention to ways and means to reduce potential risks as much as possible on the premise of ensuring our own safety.
At the same time, attention should be paid to the collection of evidence to prevent unwarranted slander and slander. Only in this way can our society be filled with love and trust. What is the final outcome of this incident? Will Uncle Hao be favored by justice?
3. The heart of salvation VS the claim for rights
In this world, there are still many people who are willing to stand up and speak for Uncle Hao. They posted comments on the Internet, supporting Hao Yi's good deeds and criticizing Zhao Xiu's unreasonable behavior. It was these warm words that made the uncle regain his confidence, and he decided not to back down and bravely face this groundless accusation.
Eventually, in court, the truth was revealed. After the court investigated, it was found that the other party was indeed doing his best to save people, and Zhao Xiu's accusations were not conclusively substantiated. In the end, the court acquitted Uncle Hao and criticized and educated Zhao Xiu.
After this accident, Uncle Hao has been silently paying attention to the recovery of the drowning child. He often visits the hospital's pediatric department, hoping to get some good news from the medical staff.
Although he received heart-wrenching answers every time, he never gave up hope and still prayed every day for the child he had never met.
Although the turmoil eventually subsided, its implications were far-reaching. In this society, we need to look at things more rationally, not easily blame others, but also learn to respect and appreciate the good deeds of others.
The selfless dedication of the rescuers is commendable. In this case, if Uncle Hao hadn't reached out to help, the little boy might have frozen to death in the icy river because there was no one to rescue him.
His family may also suffer immensely as a result. Despite the cost, the rescue operation has had a significant positive impact, allowing innocent lives to continue.
However, the boy's family demanded a high claim. Their argument is that the rescuer did not do a good job of post-incident (e.g., calling an ambulance) and caused a delay in timing, which aggravated the level of injury. In addition, some netizens criticized Uncle Hao's family for trying to turn "public welfare" into an opportunity to make money.
In fact, according to relevant laws and regulations, even if an individual has misoperated in the process of implementing emergency assistance, as long as there is no subjective malice and it is conducive to protecting the rights and interests of the victim, he or she should not bear additional legal responsibility. If it were not for profit or other bad intentions, people's charitable acts could be basically guaranteed and supported.
As for the issue of delays, we must look at it objectively. It is understood that the rescuer is not a professional, and there is no obvious violation based on common sense.
Therefore, everyone should not only respect and acknowledge the efforts of rescuers, but also pay attention to the reasonable demands of victims and their families. At the same time, we also need to continue to deepen the concept of the rule of law and create a good atmosphere for the whole society to watch and help each other.
The author thinks
It is important to find a balance between ensuring that children are able to develop freely and that they are fully cared for and supported when necessary.
At the same time, people should also pay attention to those who have been harmed by misunderstandings or misjudgments, and try to reduce the occurrence of such situations as much as possible.
