On a cold and gloomy evening in December 2013, Wu Weiqing, as usual, ended a day of hard work and embarked on the road to a warm home.
As a hard-working forklift worker, he feels extremely happy because just now, he has successfully received a full month's salary. More importantly, tomorrow is full of anticipation for the Spring Festival, and he has already begun to carefully plan to go to the supermarket to shop, buy some delicious meat products and all kinds of snacks that children are keen on, and return home with a full of delicacies, and work together with his relatives to spend this wonderful festival together.
However, who would have expected that this plan, which was originally full of laughter and warmth, would become the last wish of Wu Weiqing's life.
As Ng was driving his bicycle through a street, he noticed an elderly man staggering in front of him on the right, while a car was speeding behind him.
Out of good instinct, Wu Weiqing appropriately reduced the speed of the car and honked his horn to warn the old man to pay attention to the oncoming car from behind. This was an extremely ordinary scene, however, who would have thought that this seemingly insignificant kind reminder would bring endless pain and trauma to Wu Weiqing and his family.
After the horn sounded, the old man stopped, and Wu Weiqing and the car behind passed the scene safely. However, just as he was driving less than 20 meters away, the old man's painful cry for help suddenly came from behind him.
Wu Weiqing was very confused, and immediately turned the car back to the old man, only to see the old man lying on the side of the road with a pale face, and kept moaning in pain.
Faced with this situation, Wu Weiqing was stunned, and he hurriedly explained to the old man: "I am far away from you, and it is absolutely impossible to bump into you!" However, no matter how he explained and clarified the facts, the old man always believed that Wu Weiqing caused his fall, and insisted that he witnessed the whole incident.
The fierce argument between the two quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, who did not know the truth and saw an old man in his eighties fall to the ground, coupled with the old man's statement, they joined the team to accuse Wu Weiqing, and regarded him as the culprit.
At this moment, Wu Weiqing is in a predicament, unable to argue, facing everyone's misunderstanding and questioning, and under pressure. As the noise gradually escalated, it finally disturbed the well-known principal of the neighboring primary school, Ms. Zhou Yuqin.
As Wu Weiqing's former mentor, Principal Zhou has an in-depth understanding of him and firmly believes that he will never commit such irresponsible behavior as a hit-and-run.
However, due to the lack of eyewitness testimony and the old man's conclusive words, although Principal Zhou had the intention to clear Wu Weiqing's grievances, he had no choice but to reverse the situation due to the situation at that time, so he had to suggest that Wu Weiqing send the old man to the hospital first to prevent his condition from deteriorating.
Following the instructions of Principal Zhou Yuqin, Wu Weiqing went through hardships and finally sent the injured old man to the hospital safely. After a detailed examination by the doctor, it was found that the old man had a fracture of the right femur neck and a slight abrasion on his arm.
Considering the advanced age of the elderly, hospitalization and treatment are required.
At this time, the relatives of the elderly who had never shown up finally rushed to the hospital.
As soon as the words fell, the old man's relatives flocked to Wu Weiqing and surrounded him. Accusations and insults came one after another, as if Wu Weiqing was the person who was "extremely evil".
Faced with such a chaotic scene, Wu Weiqing was panicked in his heart, and he hurriedly explained: "This is a complete misunderstanding, I didn't bump into your relatives, but he accidentally fell himself."
Wu Weiqing, who was in a predicament, had lost the courage to refute, so he could only silently take out the 3,000 yuan salary he had just received and hand it over to the family of the elderly as the hospitalization expenses of the elderly.
After getting the money, they reluctantly let Wu Weiqing go.
Wu Weiqing, who came out of the hospital and returned home, was extremely depressed. Seeing this, the wife specially prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, hoping to help her husband cheer up.
However, Wu Weiqing couldn't even swallow a bite of food, so he went back to his room early to rest under the pretext of being unwell. The attentive wife noticed the abnormality, and after repeated questioning, Wu Weiqing told his wife about the wrongs he had suffered today.
Hearing this, the wife was furious, and she wanted to go to the old man's house to ask for justice. However, her husband stopped her. Wu Weiqing knew that things had developed to this point, and no matter how he justified it, it would only make things more complicated, so he chose to endure the humiliation and put the matter aside for the time being.
However, such an idea is not realistic for the old man and his loved ones. After receiving medical expenses as high as 3,000 yuan, they still refused to give up, and demanded compensation from Wu Weiqing for various seemingly reasonable but extremely harsh reasons, demanding that he pay all kinds of expenses.
Faced with such an astronomical amount of claim pressure, Wu Weiqing fell into a deep dilemma. Originally, he thought that he could get rid of this troublesome matter by paying this mere 3,000 yuan, but he didn't expect that the other party's appetite was amazing, and he actually demanded that he pay as much as 200,000 yuan in compensation, which was a bolt from the blue for his ordinary salaried people with limited income this month!
When he was desperate, Wu Weiqing could only pray that the in-depth investigation by the police could restore his innocence.
In order to reveal the truth of the incident as soon as possible, the police immediately engaged in a comprehensive and in-depth investigation after receiving the report. They bore the brunt of the on-site surveillance video of the day, but found that there was no monitoring equipment installed on the road section, which undoubtedly brought great difficulties to the evidence collection work.
So, the police decisively turned to the surrounding residents and asked if anyone had witnessed the whole incident. Unfortunately, due to the cold weather and the fact that it happened so suddenly, it was not until the quarrel was heard that people rushed out of their homes to find out the truth.
At that time, all they saw was an old man clinging to a man, shouting for him to take responsibility.
Although these findings were undoubtedly worse for Wu Weiqing, the police were not discouraged. They carefully examined Wu Weiqing's motorcycle and found that there were no traces of impact and friction on the body, which further confirmed Wu Weiqing's innocence.
Eventually, the police obtained the old man's diagnostic report, which clearly stated that the old man's fracture was not caused by a vehicle collision, but because of a violent impact while sitting on the ground.
Through the above-mentioned series of rigorous evidence collection process, the police firmly concluded that Wu Weiqing was absolutely not at fault, and the whole accident was completely caused by the old man's slip and fall, and he did not need to bear any liability for compensation.
Adhering to the principle of impartiality, the police informed the families of the elderly in detail and truthfully about the results of the investigation. However, despite the convincing evidence provided by the police, the family members of the elderly man are still stubborn, blaming Wu Weiqing and insisting that he hit and injured the old man.
They scrutinized every link in a microscopic way, carefully challenged the results of the police's research and judgment, and even did not hesitate to distort the facts, maliciously slander Wu Weiqing, and portray him as a criminal who tried to cover up the truth!
Therefore, they are stubborn, insisting that all this was planned by Wu Weiqing, and that he should bear all the responsibility for this tragedy, and unceremoniously demanded a huge compensation of up to 200,000 yuan from him! Faced with such an absurd claim, Wu Weiqing felt deeply tired and finally fell into a dead end.
When he was subjected to the unreasonable demands of the elderly family's lion and extortion of 200,000 yuan in compensation, Wu Weiqing felt helpless and desperate. He naively thought that he only needed to pay 3,000 yuan for medical expenses to get rid of this matter, but he didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive and insisted on him to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation, which was a huge burden for him.
Wu Weiqing never foresaw that his well-intentioned whistle would put the whole family in such a predicament. Looking at the helpless eyes of his wife and children, his heart was filled with endless pain.
In order not to implicate his family, after receiving a call from the police asking him to re-record his confession, he resolutely decided to leave his hometown and take the initiative to leave his relatives.
However, not long after Wu Weiqing left home, a shocking news spread all over the streets and alleys - Wu Weiqing committed suicide by the pond not far from home! After a detailed investigation by the police, it was finally determined that Wu Weiqing committed suicide.
Wu Weiqing's death undoubtedly brought a huge blow to the originally harmonious and happy family. His wife and children fell into extreme grief and helplessness, but what was even more indignant was that Wu Weiqing paid the price of his life for something that he was not guilty of! As a man and a father, the wounds caused by his departure to the family will never be erased.
However, in the face of such injustice, Wu Weiqing's family did not give in. The wife once firmly stated that she wanted to go to the old man's home to seek justice, but was personally dissuaded by Wu Weiqing, who had just lost her husband.
After Wu Weiqing's death, his wife and daughter never gave up their efforts to appeal for his grievances and redress Zhaoxue.
They are running around, speaking out, and doing everything they can to seek help from all walks of life. Due to the peculiarities of the incident, it finally attracted widespread attention, and many enthusiastic people came forward to launch an in-depth investigation, hoping to bring justice to this poor good man.
After unremitting efforts, the dawn that Wu Weiqing's family has been waiting for has finally come! Mr. Chen Guanyu, a 74-year-old well-known philanthropist, came to the hospital despite the fatigue of the journey, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers to explore the truth with enthusiasm.
Chen Lao affectionately clarified to the relatives of the Wu family that Wu Weiqing was just sounding the horn for warning out of kindness, and he never expected to cause such a tragedy. It is regrettable that he ended his young life because of this tragic incident.
Elder Chen respectfully implored everyone to be cautious in this matter, and to avoid sacrificing the lives of innocent people for the sake of superficiality. With his generous and benevolent heart, the old man earnestly warned everyone not to blindly follow the crowd and believe social rumors.
Under the sincere persuasion of Mr. Chen Guanyu, the old man finally opened his heart. When Chen Lao revealed to him the tragic news of Wu Weiqing's suicide, the old man was first shocked, and then fell into a long silence.
After a long time, the old man let out a long sigh helplessly, and calmly explained the reason for misjudging Wu Weiqing back then. It turned out that he was worried that his children would accuse him of being too cautious and unwilling to bear the medical bills.
Therefore, he lied that Wu Weiqing was the perpetrator and the person who caused him to fall.
"Actually, that's not the case." The old man confessed, "I fell by accident, not by him." The old man's words finally gave Wu Weiqing a fair evaluation.
When Chen Lao heard this, although he felt a little comforted, his heart was still full of sadness.
The old man was silent, as if he had realized how serious his mistake was. Seeing this, Old Chen had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and turned to the relatives of the Wu family to explain patiently. However, although the old man has admitted the truth himself, his children are still stubborn in order to obtain more compensation, insisting that Wu Weiqing knocked down the old man, and even blamed Wu Weiqing's death on his lack of psychological tolerance.
In the face of such stubbornness, Chen Lao also felt helpless. He could only pray silently, hoping that God would uphold justice and prevent similar unjust, false and wrongly decided cases from happening again, so as to prevent more tragedies from happening.
Although the old man finally admitted on his deathbed that he had wrongly treated Wu Weiqing's conscience, this lament for social justice did not end there.
Even though they knew that Wu Weiqing was actually innocent, the old man's children still blamed his suicide on poor psychological tolerance in order to seek additional compensation, but they remained silent about this farce that caused a sensation across the country.
Time flies, and Wu Weiqing's case is still a big mystery in people's hearts. And his family has also undergone earth-shaking changes because of his departure. His wife can only silently work as a farmer at home, taking care of her elderly mother-in-law; And his children, because they don't want to stay in this place full of painful memories, have chosen to leave their hometown to wander outside.
A family that was originally full of laughter was shattered by the cruel reality.
Wu Weiqing's death has brought trauma to his family that cannot be described in words. However, the most heart-wrenching thing is that he actually paid the price with his life for something he did not do wrong at all.
In fact, incidents like Wu Weiqing, who kindly helped the elderly, were blackmailed are not uncommon in today's society. For the sake of personal interests, some people disregard right and wrong, and wantonly spread rumors to slander innocent people; There are also those who do not hesitate to take risks and play tricks for the sake of a small profit.
At the same time, there are always some sincere and kind people who choose to die when they are attacked by malicious aggression, ending their young and precious lives.
We must be deeply aware that being helpful and respecting the elders and caring for children are the fine traditional virtues of the Chinese nation that have been passed down from generation to generation. It has given birth to wisdom sayings such as "the old and the old, the young and the young", and it has condensed into a kind of cultural self-confidence in the long history.
We must not allow the bad behavior of a few people to chill the hearts of those who are good and lead the whole society into a cold and unforgiving predicament.
Although the tragedy of Wu Weiqing's family is heartbreaking, we should learn a lesson from history and prevent such tragedies from happening again.
