On that cold winter day 13 years ago, an argument between a mother and her 12-year-old son was staged in an old apartment building. That day, Xiao Ming once again failed to pass the exam set by his mother's high requirements, and his angry mother slapped him and scolded him for not learning and not knowing.
Scared and sad, Xiao Ming ran to the roof of the building to end his life. When he stood on the edge of the roof, the onlookers downstairs dissuaded him, but unfortunately it was too late, Xiao Ming closed his eyes and jumped off the 17th floor.
However, a miracle happened. Xiao Ming not only survived, but was not seriously injured. Since the incident took place in a busy neighborhood, the incident of a mother-son quarrel that caused the child to jump off a building quickly attracted media attention.
Xiao Ming's mother's harsh approach to education has been widely questioned, and calls for parents to be restrained from over-parenting their children have emerged. This incident became one of the most shocking and discussed news events of the year, and also triggered people's reflection on the way of family education.
After this incident, Xiao Ming was traumatized, and he became withdrawn and silent. Fearing that Xiao Ming would hurt himself again, the school and community provided him with a psychological counselor.
After counseling and care, Xiao Ming's psychological condition gradually improved, and he no longer considered ending his life. He also received help from the agency to leave his mother and start a new life.
This story, which took place 13 years ago, still has a deep impact on people today. How fragile a child's life is, how much a family needs warmth and understanding.
We must rethink the way we educate, defuse violence with love, and work together to protect the growth of every child.
After the thrilling jumping incident, Xiao Ming miraculously survived, but he suffered great mental trauma. At first, he refused to communicate with anyone and spent the day hiding under the covers and crying.
He dreamed repeatedly of falling from the roof of the building, trembling in a cold sweat every time he woke up. Xiao Ming didn't dare to leave the house one step, like a frightened little animal.
With the help of community workers and psychologists, Xiao Ming gradually stepped out of the shadows. At first, the psychiatrist just sat next to Xiao Ming every day and patiently accompanied him.
Later, the doctor took Xiao Ming and began to do some simple painting exercises to amuse him Xi. After a few months, Xiao Ming was finally willing to communicate with the doctor. Later, with the support of the doctor, Xiao Ming stepped out of the house for the first time and began to try to return to a normal life.
The turning point came when Xiao Ming was 14 years old, when an optimistic and cheerful Chinese teacher came into his life. Through the course content, the teacher inspired Xiao Ming to regain his love for life, and accompanied him to participate in community volunteer activities to meet more friends.
With the help of his teachers and new friends, Xiao Ming is no longer haunted by the shadows of his past, and he regains his strength and confidence. The key to Xiao Ming's change is that someone is willing to listen to his inner voice, rather than forcing or ordering him. In the warmth, Xiao Ming finally felt that he was needed and cared for.
After experiencing this catastrophe of life and death, Xiao Ming was reborn, which stems from the power of every warmth in his life.
After the jumping incident, Xiao Ming's mother lived in great pain and self-blame. She understands that her violent ways hurt her children, and she is ashamed of the voice she is reproached for.
She sits in her room all day and no longer participates in any social activities. Former friends and neighbors saw her so decadent, and they gradually became estranged from her.
Xiao Ming's mother hugged Xiao Ming's old clothes and cried bitterly every morning, blaming herself for not giving her child the love she deserved. She often dreams of Xiao Ming falling from the roof of a building, and then wakes up and can't sleep again.
Due to the difficulty of facing reality, Xiao Ming's mother gradually developed a serious tendency to depression. Just a few days ago, residents of the community found that Xiao Ming's mother had not gone out for several days. Uncle Wang, who was worried about the situation, knocked on her door, only to find that she had been hanging herself in the house for a long time.
Uncle Wang hurriedly called the police, and the tragedy was avoided after the police arrived. In the suicide note left by her mother, she wrote that she was sorry for Xiao Ming and that she would continue to accompany him in another world.
The case of a mother who chose to commit suicide in guilt is another reminder that family problems should not be caused by the person concerned alone, but need immediate help from the community. Xiao Ming's mother is also a person worthy of sympathy, who has lost herself in moral criticism.
This also warns people that giving warmth is more important than condemnation, and that common love can resolve problems. After that tragedy, Xiao Ming's Chinese teacher fell into deep self-blame and pain.
She repeatedly recalled whether she was too strict in class and whether she criticized Xiao Ming's essays again and again. She began to question her teaching methods, fearing that her unintentional mistakes would hurt her students.
Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, the teacher's mind would appear in the figure of Xiao Ming's despair standing on the roof of the building. During this time, the teacher became extremely sensitive and suspicious.
She began to blame other teachers for being too harsh in grading homework, fearing that it would bring new trauma to the students. She repeatedly raised objections at faculty meetings and disagreed with school leaders. Due to the abnormal state, the school advised the teacher to take a break for a while.
During the days of solitary recuperation at home, the teacher fell into an unprecedented low. She spends her days in isolation from the outside world and refuses to communicate with anyone. Until one day, Xiao Ming's father suddenly came to visit and whispered to the teacher that Xiao Ming had gradually come out of the shadows and started writing essays again.
Xiao Ming said that his teacher's teaching made him fall in love with Chinese again. This little thing slightly lit up the light in the teacher's heart. She came to realize that the original meaning of education was to inspire the light of life.
As a result, the teacher re-examines his teaching style and is determined to understand the characteristics of each student with a more caring eye. When she re-entered the classroom and faced the familiar students, the teacher's heart rose with a long-lost peace and joy.
After the tragic mother-son quarrel caused the child to jump off the building, it immediately attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. The media have launched heated discussions on family education and the rights and interests of minors.
Public opinion calls on parents to cherish their children, and schools and society need to care for every child.
On the third day after the incident, Xiao Ming's school held an emergency teachers' symposium to discuss how to prevent school violence and ensure the healthy growth of every student. The Municipal Education Bureau also issued a notice requiring all schools to open parent schools to guide parents in raising children reasonably.
In addition, the All-China Women's Federation and youth rights organizations have spoken out, calling on the whole society to pay attention to the mental health of minors.
Under the appeal of various circles, the relevant departments have accelerated the revision of the legal provisions for the protection of the rights and interests of minors. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the new regulations explicitly restrict parents from excessively punishing their children and require schools to appoint full-time psychological teachers.
For a time, people paid unprecedented attention to the issue of family education and the protection of minors, and this topic continued to ferment in the public eye.
It has been 13 years since that tragedy, and we don't know what the protagonists of the story have experienced. But through their stories, we see lives that need warmth and love.
a child who loses himself in violence; a mother who wasted her life in rebuke; A teacher who questions life in self-blame. They were all on the verge of despair.
However, it was in that moment of helplessness that the love from those around them redeemed them. The kindness of strangers, the forgiveness of their fathers, and the company of their teachers become the strength for them to regain themselves.
Lives are connected by love. Each of us will face struggles, but no matter how dark it is, there is always light waiting for us. The important thing is to maintain the warmth of humanity and to keep giving love, even if it is only a small kindness.
When we are united, reconciliation, forgiveness and love dispel violence and despair.
There is nothing more precious in this world than life, and each of us has been a fragile child. Thanks to life, we have grown up and matured with love for the world.
May we protect every moment of life together, warm every soul with understanding, and create a world full of love.
