As the weather turned colder, villagers in a village in Guangxi spontaneously gathered together to make a fire in order to keep warm. Unexpectedly, a villager mistakenly reported that they were gambling, and the police at the police station suddenly intervened, startling the villagers who were warming up by the fire, and even the children "escaped" in a small car. Afterwards, the police learned that it was a misunderstanding and returned it in embarrassment, but this incident did make us reflect on the existence of the misunderstanding and its impact.
Villagers were falsely reported as gambling to keep warm, leading to police intervention
As the weather turned colder, villagers in a village in Guangxi returned to their hometowns one after another. In order to resist the severe cold, the villagers spontaneously lit a fire in the open space at the entrance of the village to keep warm, and sat around the fire to chat and roast the fire. This winter fire scene was mistaken for gambling by a passing villager. The villager immediately reported to the police station.
After receiving the report, the police from the police station quickly arrived at the scene and shouted to the villagers who were warming up the fire, "Stop!" The villagers were taken aback, some fled the scene in a hurry, and even the children who were playing were riding toy cars to "escape". This scene is really embarrassing.
The police returned embarrassed and publicized the laws and regulations to the villagers afterwards
Through the on-site understanding, the police learned that the villagers were not gambling at all, but gathered together to make a fire to keep warm. In order to resolve the embarrassment, the police station also publicized the laws and regulations to the villagers, asking them not to gather in crowds to gamble and other illegal acts.
This misunderstanding undoubtedly brought embarrassment to both the villagers and the police. It reflects the bias in people's perception of things, and also reveals the discordant social atmosphere in reality. If communication and understanding can be strengthened between villagers and between the police and the masses, such misunderstandings will also be reduced.
