Goodbye at 5 a.m.: a silent protest by an old man
introduction
"Life is like a dream, the years are like a song, a song is over, and the aftermath lingers. ”
— An old man's last words
At 5 o'clock in the morning in Dalian, a 71-year-old man ended his story in an extreme way. His story may also be a portrayal of many old people. Today, let's talk about the stories of those old people in those corners that have been forgotten by the years.
Goodbye at 5 a.m
At 5 o'clock in the morning, when most people were still asleep, a heart-wrenching incident occurred in a community property office in Dalian. A 71-year-old cleaning man, because he was fired, chose to end his life by hanging himself. In the suicide note he left, there was a sentence that made people feel sad: "I forced this practice out by you, and you are not human beings as managers and squad leaders." ”
The helplessness of the old man
The old man's son said that since his father was fired, he has become reticent and does not even eat much. The property management company believes that the dismissal according to the regulations has nothing to do with what happened a week later. But the old man's son believes that it was the indifference of the property company that led to the tragedy.
Heated discussions among netizens
This incident sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people questioned why the old man still had to work at such an old age? Some people replied that even if the children were rich, the old man could not be idle. But when someone asked, "Is being idle the same thing as being fired?", the discussion fell silent.
The story of the old man
In this story, we see the helplessness and bitterness of the old man. Many of them, even in old age, have to work to make ends meet. Their stories are a mirror of society and reflect many deep-seated issues.
The plight of the elderly
The plight of the elderly is not just because of unemployment. At a deeper level, there is the lack of social attitudes towards the elderly and the lack of protection mechanisms. Many of them, with no pension and no adequate social security, are dependent on their meagre income.
Social responsibility
Each of us should think about what we can do for these old people. Is it to provide more job opportunities, or to improve their social security, and perhaps, more importantly, to give them the respect and care they deserve.
