preface
As the saying goes, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune", these words are vividly interpreted in a lively street in Panlong District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, which makes people feel bad in their hearts. It was a happy shopping time for a family of four, but because of a sudden billboard, it instantly turned into a human tragedy. Do you think, parents with two precious girls, full of joy shopping on the street, just to have a warm family, which into thought, the "scenery" on the street has become a sharp blade to kill. In this world, do you have to be afraid even to go shopping? We can't help but ask, where did the hell go to safety?

On that day, the sun was just right, the breeze was not dry, and the two little girls stared at the vegetable stall on the side of the road, and they drooled greedily. When the parents saw it, the child was happier than anything else, so they sat down on the spot, intending to enjoy this rare parent-child time. Who would have expected that this sitting would be the beginning of the separation of yin and yang.
The eldest daughter, who is only 6 years old and the same age as a flower, was smashed by the "iron pimple" that fell from the sky before she swallowed a mouthful of vegetables. The little face instantly lost its blood, and its mouth and eyes opened wide, as if it wanted to say something, but it was powerless to speak. Mother, the heartbreak of that moment was more powerful than any words. She saw that instead of bright red blood, the yellow liquid that symbolized the disappearance of life flowed out of her daughter's body, and she knew in her heart that this little life had left her silently.
As for the youngest daughter, her life is also hanging by a thread, life and death in the ICU are uncertain, and every breath is like a contest with death. And the poor father, who had a severe concussion and vomited so much that the family's sky collapsed.
As soon as this incident came out, the Internet blew up, and everyone wondered: Is it not safe to even go shopping these days? Those signboards along the street look quite sturdy on weekdays, so how can they be dropped when they are dropped? Some netizens said that everything has been rolling up in the past few years, even advertising installation. If the price war is fierce, the quality will naturally be discounted. The old door is not demolished, and the new ones are piled up, and after a long time, can the rusty iron frame not collapse?
Behind this, it reflects the indifference of the whole society to safety awareness and the contempt for the value of life. We always say "safety first", but when it is really implemented, how many people can really do it? Those businesses that ignore potential safety hazards in order to save a few dollars, and those departments that have poor supervision and let tragedies happen again and again, shouldn't it be time to reflect on it?
Fortunately, the official action was relatively swift, and the notice was issued in a timely manner to control the relevant responsible persons. But what we want is not only to report and punish, but also to fundamentally solve the problem so that such a tragedy will not be repeated.
epilogue
In the final analysis, this tragedy is a wake-up call for all of us. It teaches us that safety is no small matter and should not be taken lightly at any time. We have to start from ourselves, start from the small things around us, improve safety awareness, and protect the safety of ourselves and our families. At the same time, it also calls on those businesses and regulatory authorities to stop taking safety as a child's play, and don't wait until something happens to regret it.
Imagine how happy this family of four would have been if that billboard hadn't fallen that day. Unfortunately, there are no ifs. But what we can do is to strive to make such "what ifs" a reality, so that every family can enjoy life under the sun and without worries.
Finally, may Heaven be free from pain, and may little ones rest in peace. I also hope that the desperate mother can come out of the haze strongly, because life will go on, and love will never be absent. And those responsible, I hope you can truly realize your mistakes from the bottom of your heart, and use practical actions to make up for those irreparable losses. After all, life is priceless, safety is paramount, and each of us must keep this truth in mind.
