From the "Peng Yu case" to see the balance between law and morality
preface
In recent years, there have been many cases of legal disputes caused by the harm of well-wishers, and some of these cases have caused great repercussions in public opinion because of the special characters involved and the nature of the cases. Among these cases, there is a case of a legal dispute caused by the injury of a well-wisher, and this case is known as the "Peng Yu case".
1. Causes of the case
On November 20, 2006, Xu Shoulan, an elderly man in Nanjing, accidentally fell on the road, and Peng Yu, who was passing by at that time, saw this scene, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shoulan and sent her to the hospital for treatment. In the hospital, Peng Yu also took the initiative to pay the medical expenses of the old man Xu Shoulan, and such a kind act was also affirmed and thanked by the family of the old man Xu Shoulan.
II. Development of the case
Although Peng Yu's approach was affirmed and thanked by the family of the old man Xu Shoulan, after the daughter of the old man Xu Shoulan knew about the incident, she thought that it was because Peng Yu helped the old man Xu Shoulan up, so it would cause the old man Xu Shoulan to fall and be injured, so Xu Shoulan's daughter sued Peng Yu in court and asked Peng Yu to bear the medical expenses.
In the subsequent trial process, the judge finally made a first-instance judgment, believing that Peng Yu should bear 40% of Xu Shoulan's medical expenses, and this judgment also saddled Peng Yu, who was originally a well-wisher, with a lot of debt.
3. The impact of the case
After the first-instance verdict of this case came out, many people expressed their opinions on this matter, believing that such a verdict was unfair and did not conform to the actual situation, because Peng Yu did not cause Xu Shoulan to fall and be injured because of his own fault, but because of kindness, he would help Xu Shoulan up.
Among these people, there are also many people in the legal profession, who believe that the original intention of the law is to protect well-wishers, not to let well-wishers be burdened with debts because of their own good intentions, so in such cases, judges should give more consideration to the good intentions of well-wishers, rather than blindly standing in the perspective of the victim to make judgments.
Fourth, the enlightenment of the case
Through the occurrence of such a case, we also have a deeper understanding of the relationship between law and morality, in real life, the relationship between law and morality is very delicate, sometimes, the judgment of the law can not fully conform to everyone's moral feelings, but this does not mean that the law is wrong, just that the law needs to consider more factors, so in some special cases, the judge's judgment may make everyone feel unfair.
In our lives, whether it is a person who does good deeds or a person who is helped, we need to have a certain understanding of the law, know under what circumstances we can get the protection of the law, and we should also learn to solve our own problems through legal channels, and for some special cases, we can also express our views through some ways, so that more people can pay attention to such cases, so as to arouse social reflection and vigilance.
epilogue
Through such a case, we also have a deeper understanding of the role of the law, the existence of the law can make the society more orderly, can protect the legitimate rights and interests of everyone, however, we should also clearly understand that the law is not omnipotent, sometimes, the judgment of the law can not fully meet everyone's expectations, so in our lives, in addition to relying on the protection of the law, we should also take into account our own moral sentiments when doing anything, Only in this way can a better balance be struck between law and morality
