Young people pursue freedom, but there must be limits, especially those students studying abroad, most of them do not have the care of their parents, and they seem to be able to decide everything for themselves, but they have long put themselves under the dangerous wall, and when the danger really occurs, it is too late to regret it.
According to domestic media reports, a few months ago, a boxing match tragedy that occurred in Canada attracted widespread attention. A Chinese doctor of chemistry, Lei, after studying in Canada for five years, was unfortunately beaten into a vegetative state by a professional fighter in a campus boxing tournament. To this day, the family is still at a loss.
After graduating from a high school in Beijing, Lei entered the Sino-foreign cooperative education program of Beijing Jiaotong University and the University of Waterloo in Canada to study nanomaterials and technology. After four years of undergrad, he entered the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. At this stage, Lei has always liked sanda as his hobby. The physical fitness is also stronger than many people. But compared to the official athletes, it is not enough to see.
And participating in the "Kickboxing Championship" held by Simon Fraser University is a proper novice. Although the promoters of this tournament have emphasized that it is a relatively safe taekwondo type of competition, it aims to provide a platform for amateurs and retired athletes with professional experience to communicate. However, in order to pursue the excitement of the game, the event party will let some professional players mess in to increase the enjoyment of the game.
In fact, such a setting is beyond the scope of fighting amateurs. And after getting the first victory. He was unfortunate to face an opponent with professional experience in the second match. The strength and frequency of this opponent's attack were much stronger than Lei's, and he easily won the victory, and Lei was also beaten badly. Due to the double-elimination system, Lei then played in a third game, extending the defeat and falling into a coma at the break. Since it is not a professional competition, there is no referee on the scene to intervene in time to protect the safety of the players. As a result, Lei not only lost the game, but was also seriously injured.
What is even more shocking is that the organizers did not immediately interrupt the game and arrange medical treatment after Lei's injury.
Lei's mother was angry and disappointed by the organizers' indifference and irresponsible behavior. She decided to sue the organizers and those responsible, including the World Karate and Taekwondo Organization, Simon Fraser University, as well as the referee involved and the Thai professional. She believes that it was the negligence of these organizations and individuals that led to Lei's tragedy.
In order to take better care of her son, Lei's mother decided to bring Lei back to Beijing. This decision entails not only high flight costs, but also long-term medical and rehabilitation costs in the future. Fortunately, all walks of life reached out to help after learning of the incident and raised money for Lei's treatment.
This incident may seem accidental, but in reality it is not impossible. Don't do not die, go out by yourself, and like such a strong sport, although it is personal freedom, but it leads to your own safety and no reason, and you have to sigh.
International students often face a variety of challenges and risks in a foreign country, including cultural differences, language barriers, and potential safety issues. Therefore, it is especially important to learn to protect yourself.
