The helplessness behind the tragedy: the female worker of the Internet celebrity tower crane fell to her death, the ashes were difficult to enter the village, and the boss paid 1.9 million yuan
In this digital age, a thought-provoking tragedy is quietly spreading on social media. 23-year-old Xiao Qiu Mei is not only a tower crane driver, but also an Internet celebrity who has attracted much attention on the short video platform. However, in an aerial work accident, she fell from a height of 100 meters, and her life passed away instantly.
After the tragedy, Xiao Qiumei's family fell into unspeakable pain. However, family conflicts, construction site management loopholes, social attitudes and other issues have made this tragedy more and more confusing.
The first is Xiao Qiumei's family troubles. In the shadow of divorce and domestic violence, the sudden appearance of her husband makes her two young daughters the focus of contention, adding another problem to the already overburdened family. Even if the police intervened to solve the problem, the husband's inappropriate behavior made the aftermath work worse.
Second, Xiao Qiumei's labor contract and insurance issues on the construction site highlight the fragility of labor rights and interests in the digital age. She did not sign any contract and did not receive any insurance coverage, which put her family under great stress during the aftermath phase. The construction site only gave some consolation money, but did not bear more legal responsibility.
What's even more chilling is that Xiao Qiu Mei's urn could not enter the village, and was rejected by the villagers on superstitious grounds. This made the pain of the family even greater, and they could only watch out from the door of their home, looking for a place to rest for the deceased.
In this tragedy, Xiao Qiu Mei's boss did not escape responsibility. While 1.9 million yuan was paid and promises were made to help the children complete their studies, it also raised questions about work safety and legal norms.
