We all say that art comes from life, and this sentence is not false at all. If you let everyone vote for the most impressive Spring Festival Gala sketch work in the past ten years, I believe most people will directly choose Shen Teng and Ma Li's famous work: "Help or not".
This sketch screened in the 2014 Spring Festival Gala has a sentence that is impressive: "If people fall down, they won't help people's hearts, and if people's hearts fall down, they can't help them if they want to." This sentence is not groundless, but a true portrayal of the "Nanjing Peng Yu case".
It is estimated that the current post-00s generation does not have much impression of the "Nanjing Peng Yu case", but if you talk about a social phenomenon, you will understand.
The direct impact of the "Nanjing Peng Yu case" is that for a period of time, everyone did not dare to lend a helping hand when the elderly fell.
The reason for this phenomenon is because Judge Wang said when he tried the "Peng Yu case": "You didn't hit it, why do you have to help." This sentence has also been circulated as a hot Internet meme for a long time, which includes netizens' ridicule and incomprehension of Judge Wang.
We also all know the final punishment result of the "Nanjing Peng Yu case", Peng Yu and the old man reached a settlement before the second trial, ending with Peng Yu paying 10,000 yuan and the two parties signing a confidentiality agreement, which came to an end at this time.
Although this case is legally concluded, the coffin is closed. However, the huge social impact he had had was far from over, and there were successive cases of elderly people falling down and no one daring to help them across the country, and Judge Wang ended up not very well because of this case.
Now there are surveillance cameras on the streets and alleys, young people have a strong sense of autonomy to protect together, and legal literacy is also very strong.
1. The history of the "Nanjing Peng Yu Case".
We once again review the general process of the entire case of the "Nanjing Peng Yu Case" from its occurrence to the trial process and then to the conclusion of the case, and we can also have a deeper understanding of the claims of both parties by tracing back the entire case.
Time came to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province on November 20, 2006, at this time a bus station in Shuiximen Square was waiting for a large number of people, at that time the subway had not yet developed, and the bus was still people's first choice.
One of the protagonists of this case, the elderly Xu Shoulan, who is also a victim, is also waiting for bus No. 83 here. At this time, two No. 83 buses drove into the platform one after the other, and Xu Shoulan saw that there were more cars in the first car, so she hurriedly ran to the second No. 83.
Just as she ran to the back door of the first No. 83 bus, she was knocked to the ground by the people who got on and off the bus.
At this time, two young people went to visit Xu Shoulan one after the other, and asked about her injuries while dialing 120.
The first of these two people to walk in front of Xu Shoulan was Peng Yu, and Xu Shoulan expressed her gratitude to Peng Yu and another guy at that time.
But because the hit was very serious, Xu Shoulan couldn't move independently, Peng Yu waited until Xu Shoulan's family arrived before choosing to leave, and gave Xu Shoulan's family 200 yuan.
Xu Shoulan's family then sent her to the hospital for examination, and the results of the examination showed that Xu Shoulan suffered a fracture of her left femur and tibia due to a serious fall, and the operation would cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Time came in a blink of an eye on January 12, 2007, on this day Xu Shoulan sued Peng Yu to the Gulou District Court of Nanjing City, demanding that Peng Yu compensate him for medical expenses, mental damages, nutrition expenses, etc., totaling 136,000 yuan.
The reason for Xu Shoulan's accusation is also very simple: it was Peng Yu who hit him at that time, and he had to be responsible for himself.
Peng Yu's side was also confused by the second monk, he was surprised and surprised by this Xu Shoulan's prosecution.
On September 4, 2007, the Nanjing Gulou District People's Court ruled in the first instance that Peng Yu should pay Xu Shoulan 40% of the costs totaling 45,876.6 yuan.
Before the subsequent second-instance judgment, Peng Yu and Xu Shoulan reached a settlement, with Peng Yu paying 10,000 yuan to Xu Shoulan as the final result of the private settlement between the two parties, and the information of both parties on this case should be kept absolutely confidential and not disclosed to the outside world.
2. Doubts about the case and their impact
Seeing this, some viewers will find that the above statement of the case does not seem to be able to see who is right and who is wrong.
Indeed, the above is only a general statement of the facts of the case, which is objective and not emotional, and then we will look at the case through the problems.
Many viewers will have two questions in their hearts: Did Xu Shoulan hit Peng Yu, and why did the two parties reach a settlement in private before the second trial?
First, let's explore the first question, which is the most important one in this case. According to the confessions of both parties and the testimony of witnesses at the scene, one thing can be clear: Xu Shoulan was indeed hit by someone, and Peng Yu also hit someone when he got out of the car.
But Peng Yu defended: "Although I hit someone when I got out of the car, it was definitely not Xu Shoulan." Because there were three buses that entered the station at one time that day, the second and third were No. 83, and he got off the second of the three buses, but Xu Shoulan had been hit at the back door of the first bus. ”
When asked by Judge Wang: "You didn't hit it, why do you want to help?"
Whether this was hit by Peng Yu or not has not yet been determined, but it is known that he did hit someone when he got out of the car.
Because of the lack of surveillance coverage and the loss of the transcript of the interrogation made by the police at the time, there is no direct evidence to prove that Peng Yu hit someone.
Peng Yu may not really bump into Xu Shoulan, maybe he grabbed this reason and tried his best to deny that he had bumped into her.
There are many doubts on this issue: Since Peng Yu did not bump into Xu Shoulan, why did he give Xu Shoulan's family 200 yuan? If Peng Yu wanted to do a good deed, why did he not stop the perpetrator at that time? This is indeed doubtful.
Moving on to the second issue, the parties reached a settlement privately before the second trial. Because after the first trial, Peng Yu unilaterally found a blogger in the news section of a website, saying that he wanted to accuse himself: he was framed for failing to help people.
The blogger sent the news via text message to the major newspapers and magazines in Nanjing at the time, and these newspapers and magazines later vied to report on the case, and public opinion was randomly ignited.
Because he has always been in a weak position during the time described by Peng Yu, the Internet public opinion is on Peng Yu's side, and Xu Shoulan can receive a large number of abusive and threatening emails every day, and Peng Yu is also tirelessly interviewed by reporters from all walks of life.
Because the private lives of both parties were greatly affected, the two parties reached a settlement before the second trial.
Although the case was closed, the parties were unable to inform the public media of the details of the case because of the confidentiality agreement signed by both parties.
At this time, the focus of public opinion on the Internet came to the sentence that Judge Wang said: "You didn't hit it, why do you want to help?", so that "I dare not help the elderly after they fall", and "personal attacks on Judge Wang have come one after another", and the social impact is extremely far-reaching.
A large group of people who don't know the truth of the matter subconsciously empathize with Peng Yu because of their one-sided view of Judge Wang: "You didn't hit it, why do you want to help?"
There are not a few people who hold this kind of thinking, and Judge Wang has already come forward to interpret all the legal basis and trial process afterwards, answered the topics that everyone is concerned about, and even explained why he asked at that time: You didn't hit it, why do you want to help?
But at this time, Judge Wang's explanation was very pale, and no one paid attention to how he explained.
Internet public opinion continues to ferment, and the focus of everyone's attention has been: whether to help the elderly when they fall down in the future.
Because the impact of this incident was so great, that Judge Wang was also quite affected afterwards.
3. How is Judge Wang doing now?
After the trial of Peng Yu and Xu Shoulan, the incident was infinitely amplified by the mass media, and its social impact has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Two of the three main figures in the "Nanjing Peng Yu Case": Peng Yu and Xu Shoulan declined all interviews after the case was concluded because the incident had seriously affected their lives and the confidentiality agreement, leaving only one Judge Wang who was deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.
The matter has reached the point where "failure to deal with it is not enough to make the people angry", and Judge Wang was also transferred from his original post after this incident due to improper handling of legal judgments and other reasons, first working as an ordinary staff member in a sub-district office.
Afterwards, whenever Judge Wang talked about this matter with others, he was very sad and sad, and his whole life might be ruined because of this incident, and he would never be able to be a judge of first instance in the future.
According to the news, Judge Wang has now moved from the street office to work at the Nanjing Gulou Judicial Office, and as an ordinary brick moversman behind the scenes, he will not be easily involved in judicial trials and other work.
epilogue
The social impact of the "Nanjing Peng Yu case" is extremely great, and its impact is unprecedented. The most direct manifestation is that in the next few years after the incident, the phenomenon that the elderly fall and no one dares to help them often occurs.
From the "Nanjing Peng Yu case", we can see some clues: If public opinion is allowed to develop, it is very terrifying, because the people who occupy the numerical advantage but do not know what to do with the melon-eating masses have great influence on these controversial judicial cases.
In the "Nanjing Peng Yu case", everyone does not necessarily understand the origin of the matter, and even in the absence of key evidence, the staff directly related to the trial can only inquire about the trial little by little.
It's just that the Internet public opinion doesn't care about the matter itself, because Judge Wang's words can always nail him to the pillar of shame. However, people's words are terrifying, and after detonating public opinion, Judge Wang can only "reap the consequences" in the end.
