In March 2020, Beijing seemed to be a deserted and empty city. There are no hurried pedestrians of yesteryear, and there is no sound of children playing and laughing.
You and I are in a special period since the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, and those difficult but inspiring days are vivid.
Everyone is working together to prevent and control the epidemic, and the people are united and the whole country is celebrating.
This spirit of solidarity also gives hope and strength. However, it is inevitable that there will always be a small group of people who are stubborn and have no one in their sights.
Liang Mouyan, a Chinese woman living in Australia. Degree in Medicine and Public Health, working diligently in West Melbourne for many years. As a professional woman, she should have been more aware of the severity of the pandemic.
But she is as selfish as she is, only caring about her personal desires and enjoyment, and ignoring the safety of other people's lives. As soon as she returned to Beijing from Australia, she did not follow the 14-day home quarantine requirement, and went out for a run the next day without even wearing a mask.
Contrary to expectations, she did not quickly run towards freedom, but was dissuaded. Seeing this, the community workers immediately stepped forward to persuade her to go home. However, Ms. Liang did not seem to understand her mistake, and her attitude was arrogant, refusing to cooperate.
The staff had no choice but to call the police station for help.
Several uniformed uncles and aunts arrived and patiently negotiated with Ms. Liang. Like a vexatious child, she began to yell and claim that she was being harassed.
All this was recorded on video and quickly spread to netizens. People strongly dissatisfied with Ms. Liang's empty-sighted attitude, and condemned her for selfishness and ignorance.
Liang Mouyan grew up in a wealthy family, both parents are highly educated, and the family is well-off. As an only child, she became the pearl of her parents' palms as soon as she was born.
The grandparents also doted on this precious granddaughter. Whatever she wants, her parents will be satisfied, for fear that she will not be happy at all. This doting education method makes Liang Mouyan cautious and arrogant, and does her own thing.
After going to school, Liang Mouyan's personality became more and more obvious. She feels that she has a good family background and excellent grades, and should be loved by all teachers and classmates. As soon as someone didn't go her way, she would splash and roll.
Her classmates didn't like her virtue, so they could only avoid it. As a result, Liang Mouyan has become more and more withdrawn and sensitive. She thinks that her classmates are jealous of her and that her teachers treat her fairly.
A strong unwillingness occupied her heart.
went to college, and the new environment gave Liang Mouyan the opportunity to transform. She could have reflected on it and opened her heart. But a stubborn heart stopped her, and she still went her own way.
Liang Mouyan longed to leave the school she was not used to. She begged her parents to sponsor her to study abroad. The old couple saw that their daughter had made up their minds, and they couldn't bear to refuse.
They saved money and raised a lot of money for their daughter's education in Australia. Liang Mouyan finally flew away from China as she wished.
After coming to Australia, Liang Mouyan gradually found a sense of belonging. Her life was smooth sailing and she eventually became a naturalised Australian citizen. In her heart, she has thrown China 90,000 miles away.
In 2020, the coronavirus spread around the world, and Australia was not immune. The epidemic is raging, and medical resources in various places are stretched. Liang Mouyan looked at the familiar neighborhood becoming deserted, and an inexplicable panic rose in her heart.
She suddenly realized that the land in front of her was no longer her real home.
Liang Mouyan carefully recalled the past, the country where she was born and grew up showed amazing response ability in this epidemic. By contrast, Australia's chaotic disorder stung her deeply.
She couldn't help but miss the geography of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, the sky was high and the blue sky was light. After careful consideration, Liang Mouyan decided to take the risk of returning to China to avoid the epidemic.
On March 14, Liang Mouyan stepped on Chinese soil with tears in her eyes. She misses every grass and tree, brick and tile here. However, all the rules and regulations here seem to her to be harsh restrictions on freedom.
She still goes her own way, going out for a jog without a mask. Perhaps this is her inner rebellion against fate, and it is also an obsession with past Xi. She would rather be the enemy of the whole world than stick to her way of life.
When the staff came to dissuade her, Liang Mouyan was angry in her heart. She felt that she had come back to save the country and save the people, but she was treated so impolitely. Although her words were unreasonable, she didn't think she was wrong.
Liang Mouyan has never been able to jump out of her own perspective and understand the meaning of the rules.
Liang Mouyan's video spread on the Internet, and public opinion took a tough attitude. On March 18, the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau made a decision to cancel Liang Mouyan's work and residence permit.
She was given 15 days to leave the country. Liang Mouyan accepted this result in amazement, she had a premonition of a change in her life, but she didn't know how to face it.
At the same time, Bayer executives were sitting around a conference room discussing the PR crisis. As an employee, Liang's actions directly affect the company's reputation.
In the discussion, someone proposed to fire Liang Mouyan. The CEO ultimately approved the decision. Liang Mouyan soon received a letter of dismissal, and the job with an annual salary of one million was lost.
After returning to Australia, Liang Mouyan's life was in a slump. Her notoriety has spread far and wide, and her job search has repeatedly hit a wall. Without a high-paying job, the pressure of the mortgage also took her breathless.
In 2022, she was rumored to be working as a cashier at a supermarket. Liang Mouyan's ending is both unexpected and sympathetic. She paid a terrible price, but she failed to make her wake up and reflect on her mistakes.
We should not laugh at her downfall, but use this case as a warning. When there is an imbalance between rights and obligations, the harmony between the individual and society will also be challenged.
We must learn to think from the perspective of others, cherish life, and maintain order in order to tide over the difficulties together.
Liang Mouyan's experience is suffocating, and it is also worth pondering. Her invincible attitude was not formed overnight, but was the result of long-term doting. A parent's love for their children is valuable, but it also needs to be tempered.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to give children the correct direction in life, and it will also cause irreparable misunderstandings.
This incident also shows us that the relationship between the individual and society needs to be balanced. Individual freedom is inviolable, but individuals should also act for the sake of others and not be overly selfish.
Everyone is actively fighting the epidemic, but it is incomprehensible that Ms. Leung is going her own way.
I believe that Ms. Leung is not always ruthless, she just needs time to reflect. I hope she can jump out of her own perspective and live with this virus. Because everyone is facing the same dilemma, we need to care for each other to get through it.
The ancients said: "Do not do to others what you would not do to yourself." "We must learn to empathize and cherish the feelings of others. Society as a whole can only thrive if everyone is not selfish.
This pandemic will eventually pass, but its lessons and lessons must be remembered.
The pandemic is an unprecedented challenge for everyone. We must stick together and watch each other out to get through. In these extraordinary times, individual interests should be subordinated to collective interests, and individual actions should also be considered for the feelings of others.
Only when every member of society can be morally conscious, can we overcome the difficulties and see the light of day again.
We can't deny Liang Mouyan's entire life because of her mistakes. She has also worked diligently to create value for the business. We should give her time and space to reflect and correct.
There is an ancient adage: "Education takes one generation, and morality needs ten years." With a heart of tolerance and compassion, we need to guide everyone who has lost their way back to the right path.
This epidemic has allowed us to see the bright side of human nature, and it has also shown us the dark side of human nature. But we should still be warm and patient, because everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves redemption.
This anti-epidemic war is a moral choice for us, and it is also a test of our hearts. Let us dissolve each other's prejudices with a heart of friendship and move forward together towards the light.
