Violence is never the right way to solve problems, yet sometimes, the straw that breaks the camel's back often comes from a seemingly trivial matter. Recently, an old man in Shenyang, Liaoning Province had a fierce conflict with the chengguan, and he actually fought and hit the chengguan head with a brick, causing an uproar in public opinion.
It was a sunny afternoon on May 14, in Shenyang Luyuan Park, business was booming, hawkers set up stalls to sell, and tourists were weaving. Suddenly, a commotion broke the leisurely and quiet scene - a white-haired old man opened his eyes angrily and grabbed a chengguan, and the two sides were tense and verbally warring. At this moment, the old man actually picked up a brick and smashed it into the head of the chengguan! The iron-like brick hit the back of the head, and the chengguan fell to the ground, and the painful wail was startled.
Seeing this scene, the scene instantly fell into chaos. The other chengguan rushed to press the old man down, and the old man struggled desperately, but after all, he couldn't beat the young and strong them. The beaten chengguan covered his head and rolled on the ground, in great pain. For a while, the scene was in a mess, with shouts and cries one after another.
The video of the incident quickly circulated on the Internet, causing widespread attention and heated discussions. Most netizens condemned the old man's attack on the chengguan, believing that this kind of brutal behavior is absolutely undesirable. However, some people questioned that there must be a reason for the incident, did the chengguan do anything excessive to the old man?
In response, the local law enforcement department in Shenyang responded. The chengguan who was beaten suffered a serious head injury and has been taken to the hospital for treatment. And the old man who did it will also face legal sanctions, or be fined, detained or even imprisoned. At the same time, the local emergency mechanism has been activated and additional police forces have been dispatched to maintain public order around Luyuan.
This statement is undoubtedly a harsh condemnation and a slap in the face of the violent acts of the elderly. However, by tracing the cause of the incident, we may also be able to get a glimpse of some gossip insider.
It can be seen from the video of the scene that this area by Luyuan Lake is full of hawkers' stalls. A woman in blue appeared to be one of the vendors, who was arguing with several chengguan at the time. At this moment, the white-haired old man intervened, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.
According to a person familiar with the matter, the old man was actually the wife of the blue-clothed female peddler, and when she saw his wife being "bullied" by the city management, she couldn't bear it anymore before she started fighting. However, some people say that the old man made a move because the chengguan robbed them of their small business.
Whatever the cause, acts of violence are wrong and illegal, and must be severely punished by law. There is no doubt about that. However, why did the old man do such an impulsive thing, and what kind of story is hidden behind it? Is it the abuse of power, the simplification of law enforcement, or the small citizens who are forced to set up stalls to survive? Or are both sides at fault, and the conflict has been going on for a long time?
I am afraid that the answer to all is known only to the parties concerned. But we have reason to believe that there are some factors such as one-sided cognition and emotional loss of control on both sides, which led to the situation getting out of control.
This incident has triggered people to put forward higher requirements for standardization, rationality, and civilization in the process of law enforcement. On the one hand, law enforcers must act strictly in accordance with the law, uphold the principle of fairness, and must not be simple and rude, nor can there be any situation of "flies and dogs" and abuse of power. On the other hand, people should also learn to express their demands rationally and protect their own rights and interests, while respecting the work of law enforcement officers. Only when the two sides understand each other, tolerate each other, and abide by discipline and law, will the situation not get out of control.
In the face of this staggering conflict, do you also have some thoughts of your own? Feel free to talk about it.
