A few days ago, while walking near my home, I accidentally ran into an accident. An old man was trying to cross the street, but he stumbled and fell straight to the ground, instantly locking his limbs and unable to move. Although the pedestrians who came and went next to him stopped, none of them stepped forward to help.

At that time, I also took into account the large number of onlookers, and it was really embarrassing to go to the old man alone. So the first thought was that it should be no problem to call 120 for help directly, just let them professionals take care of the elderly. But when I was about to call the police, I thought that there are many fraud cases now, and it is easy for well-wishers to call scammers to be mixed in, and I am even more at a loss for what to do.
At this time, I happened to see a comment I saw on the Internet, which discussed the issue of "helping the elderly". Wise netizens in the comments pointed out that the reason why many people in today's society are reluctant to take the initiative to lend a hand is actually not related to personal conscience, but caused by the imperfection of the laws and systems behind it.
A netizen shared his experience of trying to rescue the elderly who were defrauded, and described the various details and consequences in detail and vividly. As a result, instead of gratitude, he was blackmailed and harassed and even taken to court, paying a heavy price. This undoubtedly has a huge deterrent effect on other conscientious passers-by.
Another netizen pointed out that the current law does not explicitly protect well-wishers, and it is difficult to form effective sanctions for harassment and blackmail. This has given untrustworthy elements an opportunity to take advantage of and breed more vicious incidents. Therefore, in order to truly solve this problem, it is necessary to start from the legislative level and play a restraining and supervisory role in "punishing the former and punishing the latter".
After reading these suggestions, I immediately understood the essence of the problem. In the current situation, helping others really needs to be carefully considered, otherwise you may also get into the legal vortex and it will be difficult to get out. But if the status quo cannot be changed, it can only be doomed to repeat similar accidents.
After much struggle, I decided to take the initiative to help the old man up. On the one hand, he used passers-by to maintain order and avoid harassment by others, and at the same time, he quickly went through some procedures and left his own evidence and contact information. If I am really involved in the case, I am also mentally prepared to face the consequences.
However, this is by no means a one-person matter, and it requires the joint participation and resolution of all sectors of society. We should use the Internet to listen to public opinions and give feedback to the legislature on problems and suggestions for improvement. Only through the improvement and implementation of the legal system can we truly cultivate a social trend of mutual assistance and reciprocity, so that the vulnerable groups in need of help can receive the care they deserve.
Originally, I didn't dare to help, thinking that I could help call 120, but after reading the comments, it seemed that I couldn't do anything, and I still had to lend a hand to help, because I realized that the root of the problem was not in the individual, but in the system.
One person's actions are more or less risky, but if we call for reform together, there is hope for benefiting more others in need. Every small perseverance and action may contribute to a society where more people feel at ease.
Write to the end
Each of us has the responsibility and ability to shape a better society together. In the face of a moral dilemma, one's choices may be limited, but if we can unite and use the Internet as a communication platform to express our views and brainstorm solutions, then we will inevitably have a greater social impact.
Looking back at that time, I may not have to worry about the risks of reaching out decisively, but as a responsible citizen, it is also for the benefit of society to consider all aspects of the problem in advance. Fortunately, through this process, I realized the root cause of the problem and paid more attention to how to take action to change the status quo in the future.
Each of us will have choices to make at different times, but the key is to focus on the big picture and listen to each other and advocate for each other with openness and mutual support. It is only through top-down legal and institutional improvements, as well as bottom-up public participation, that this systemic problem can be truly addressed and a community environment in which everyone can be a source of strength.
A sincere action, coupled with a focused call for reform, will be an important step in promoting social progress. We should be more responsible, tolerant and constructive in the complex and intertwined relationships between each individual, and work together to build a society that is mutually beneficial and worthy of our hearts. This is the most profound experience of this experience.
