The young man slept soundly and did not give up his seat, and was abused by a family of four in turn: is it respect for the old or moral kidnapping?

On April 28, on a subway in Shenzhen, Guangdong, a young man was abused by a family of four because he did not give up his seat to an elderly man in his 80s in time because he was asleep. This scene was filmed by other passengers and uploaded to the Internet, which quickly aroused widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life.

It is understood that at the time of the incident, the subway carriage was crowded with people and there was a shortage of seats. The guy was tired from work and was sleepy on the subway, so he sat on the seat and took a nap. At this time, an old man in his 80s got into the car, and since there were no empty seats, the old man could only stand. The young man did not notice the arrival of the old man because he was asleep, so he did not give up his seat in time.

Seeing this scene, a woman in the old man's family was the first to attack, she scolded the young man loudly: "I want you to give up a seat to the old man, do you want to let it, say you don't say it, it's still young!" The woman's voice was sharp and piercing, attracting the sideways eyes of the surrounding passengers. After the guy was woken up, he looked a little confused and didn't respond immediately.

At this time, the woman's family also joined in the name-calling. The four of them, you and me, besieged the guy. One of the family members even ridiculed the young man: "Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young? You have lived in vain!" while the other accused the young man of having no quality and not knowing how to respect the elderly.

Faced with the siege and insults of a family of four, the young man finally chose to swallow his anger, stood up and gave up his seat to the old man. Who would have thought that even if he made such a concession, the family of four still did not let him go. They continued to insult and accuse the guy, as if to let the whole carriage know about the guy's "immoral behavior".

After the incident was exposed, it quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Some netizens expressed their support for the guy, believing that it was excusable for him to fall asleep on the subway, and that giving up his seat should have been voluntary and should not be compulsory. Some netizens also condemned the behavior of the family of four, believing that their behavior was moral kidnapping, and made groundless accusations and insults to the guy.

In response to this, sociology experts also expressed their opinions. They believe that giving up seats to special groups such as the elderly and pregnant women in public is a manifestation of social morality and traditional virtues, but it does not mean that everyone is obliged to give up their seats in all circumstances. Giving up your seat should be an act of voluntariness and concern for others, not an obligation to be imposed.

At the same time, experts also pointed out that the behavior of the family of four was obviously too extreme and irrational. Not only did they fail to understand the guy's situation and difficulties, but they also made unreasonable accusations and insults to him. This kind of behavior not only does not solve the problem, but only exacerbates social contradictions and disharmony.
