Martial arts have long been regarded as a glorious traditional art – a way to strengthen one's body and defend oneself. However, today I am going to talk about a tragedy that happened in Qingdao, a classroom that was supposed to be learning and respect, but it turned out to be the end of life.
In Qingdao in April, the spring breeze is still a little chilly. On such a seemingly ordinary day, the life of an eight-year-old boy came to an abrupt end in the martial arts gym.
It is understood that the boy was subjected to collective violence by four coaches during an ordinary training session. This cruelty continued for 20 minutes, until the boy sat back on the stool weakly, by which time his spine and neck were no longer connected.
Anger and grief are the natural reaction of everyone who learns of this. But as a journalist, it is my responsibility to get to the deeper causes and context, and hopefully in doing so, we can find ways to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
After digging deeper, I realized that this was not an isolated case. In recent years, while wushu has been promoted across the country as a sporting activity, the relevant regulation and education and training have not kept pace with it. In this case, the four coaches clearly lacked the professional quality and moral bottom line they should have.
The boy's parents were very emotional when they interviewed me. They say they do not seek any form of civil reparation, they only want to see justice achieved and that the perpetrators of violence are punished as they deserve.
Subsequently, I visited several other martial arts gyms to try to understand their views on the matter and their internal management mechanisms. It turned out that most martial arts gyms do have strict rules and regulations and instructor selection procedures. But in some small or private martial arts gyms, the system is either non-existent or non-existent.
In addition, I spoke with several child psychology experts. They told me that the psychological impact of such violence on children is profound and devastating. The experts stressed that for children, physical activity should be a process of increasing self-confidence and learning to protect themselves, rather than a source of fear and pain.
In the process of reporting this incident, I deeply felt the society's concern for such incidents and the concern for the safety of children. The public response also reflects expectations of the education and regulatory systems. It is on the basis of this expectation that many hope that legal and educational reforms will ensure that similar tragedies do not happen again.
The case has already attracted the attention of the relevant government departments. It is reported that there is currently a proposal to strengthen the qualification certification of martial arts instructors, as well as the supervision and supervision of martial arts halls. The introduction and implementation of these measures, while not all problems at once, are at least a step forward.
In the days to come, I will continue to monitor the progress of this case and the implementation of the relevant reforms. My goal is not only to convey information, but also to promote the progress of society.
What this has taught us is not just mourning for a tragedy, but a serious discussion about how to protect our children. It reminds us that every step of the way involving children requires the highest standards of self-determination. Whether it is family education, school education, or extracurricular activities, every detail is related to the healthy growth of children.
In this process, we need more transparency and accountability. Every adult involved in educating children should be aware that their actions can have a long-term impact on children.
And for us observers, whether parents, educators or people from all walks of life, we should learn from this tragedy and work together to prevent it from happening again. We should work together through educational, legal and social pressures to build a safer environment where every child can grow up with love and respect.
As a journalist covering this event, I feel a great responsibility. This is not only a news story, but also a self-reflection of society and a discussion of the future direction. Through my pen, I hope to arouse more people's attention and promote the society's deep thinking about the issue of child safety and education, and ultimately promote the formation of a more just and safe social environment.
In future reports, I will continue to follow the legal progress and social repercussions of this incident, hoping to witness the realization of justice and the improvement of the system. Only in this way can we ensure that every child can grow up in a safe and loving environment, and that every family will no longer suffer from similar tragedies.
