"I didn't steal!" 10-year-old Xiao Ming shouted loudly, and no one in the villagers believed him. A man and a woman tied Xiao Ming's hands tightly to the telephone pole, and the wire whipped fiercely on his calf.
With a "snap", Xiao Ming arched his body in pain, tears mixed with snot across his face.
This scene took place in a remote mountain village in Guangdong. In a peaceful village, the loss of money by a family turned into an unreasonable beating and scolding of a boy.
It all started a few days ago. A family in the village found that 650 yuan was missing from their home, which can be said to be a lot of money in a poor mountain village.
The family decided that it was the money stolen by Xiao Ming, a boy who often appeared at their doorstep, but Xiao Ming cried that he didn't steal it. The villagers did not believe it, and after asking to no avail, they began to beat and scold them cruelly.
For many days, Xiao Ming was repeatedly tied to poles and trees and beaten. The weak child was covered with wounds, and what hurt him more than money was that he was innocent, but he was treated like this.
The children in remote mountain villages are already living hard, and Xiao Ming's family conditions are even worse. His parents have long since divorced, his father went out to work and did not know from him, and he and his grandfather depended on each other. Grandpa is old and frail and unable to take care of him, so Xiao Ming can only wander by himself.
For a long time, Xiao Ming has relied on picking up waste to make a living. Some people say that he often wanders in front of villagers' homes, suspecting that he is trying to steal. Xiao Ming's helpless identity makes adults feel at ease and don't trust him.
In fact, Xiao Ming is very kind in his heart. He would collect all the branches he found and where the birds had landed, and wanted to make toys for the children in the village. It's just that his shy and introverted personality and sloppy appearance make him ignored in the village, and he is even looked down upon.
Perhaps, adults have too deep prejudices against Xiao Ming. So when the money was lost, he was immediately regarded as a suspect. As everyone knows, the poor and difficult environment made Xiao Ming realize the hardships of survival prematurely, and he understands the value of money better than anyone else.
In fact, Xiao Ming is not a thief at all. When the police intervened in the investigation, the missing 650 yuan was quickly found in the mezzanine of the wardrobe of the villager's house. It turned out that the villagers themselves misplaced the money, but they put the fault on Xiao Ming.
There are all kinds of signs that Xiao Ming is innocent. He didn't deserve that. For a while, public opinion criticized the father-in-law and daughter-in-law who beat Xiao Ming. They should not use violence in private, let alone make judgments when the evidence is insufficient.
When those whips were drawn on Xiao Ming, it was not only his flesh that was drawn, but also his trust in human nature. A child, in this way, has completed his first lesson to the world in pain and predicament.
What he may not yet understand is that life is so much more than that. Only by living strong can we fight for dignity for ourselves.
After the incident became popular on the Internet, Xiao Ming attracted widespread attention. For a while, public opinion expressed sympathy for him, and also reflected on the lonely and weak groups around us. Do we have prejudices, do we also have indifference?
Today, after experiencing this unjust case, Xiao Ming still lives in this mountain village. The physical pain will be healed, but those whiplashes will leave an indelible memory in his heart.
This incident has become his upbringing, and perhaps one day in the future, it will inspire him to help more people who have suffered misfortune.
And all we can do is to give love without giving up. Don't judge a person by their birth and appearance, and don't dismiss the weak because of prejudice.
Also, in life, we must keep a clear head, do not make conclusions easily, and give others more opportunities and understanding.
Every child deserves to be treated gently, and every weak child should not be abandoned. Xiao Ming's experience is heartbreaking, but it can also awaken more love for the world. Not only Xiao Ming, but also those who are going through hardship, need our support.
We are all part of this world as human beings. Only by benevolence and mutual assistance can the light of humanity bloom. I believe that as long as we maintain kindness and empathy, the world will eventually become a better place.
