On the evening of April 6th, Wan Wan, a woman from Weibo Middle School, wrote a long article in Weibo, detailing her experience of almost being raped in Yihe Hotel. When Weibo came out, it was immediately reprinted tens of thousands of times, which attracted the attention of netizens. After reading this article, I feel deeply, on the one hand, for this woman's vigilance and intelligence, on the other hand, for the poor security work of the hotel.
Why is this woman smart? I noticed two details in her article. First, when a strange man accosted her after getting off the elevator, she immediately called the police and told him very clearly that she didn't know him. For women who go out alone, this keenness is essential. Although women's innate strength is insufficient, we can make up for it with smart brains. Like the news a few days ago: the woman cried on the rooftop and turned and fell to her death. Such behavior is foolish. Whether it is sad or just for the pursuit of a pleasure, we can't make fun of our lives. Life is not easy, why should we be responsible for our stupidity? A clever mind can often get us out of danger.
But in this case, it seems that this is not the case. This can't be said to be the place that makes us most angry: men blatantly dragged women to unsupervised stairwells in broad daylight and in full view, in an attempt to commit violence. This simple and rude behavior shocked the world.
The second place where women are smart is in the middle. When a woman sees that a man is only physically active and unarmed, she cries out for help. This is what I admire most about this woman with a crooked pseudonym. At such a critical juncture, the woman actually thought of making sure that the other party had weapons such as knives. I think if the other party has a murder weapon such as a knife, then what we are seeing now may not be the news of attempted violence, but the news of women counting knives in hotels. It is extremely important to call for help further only when we are sure that our personal safety is temporary. After all, we only have one life, so we should be careful.
Once this incident broke out, some videos of women's self-defense went viral on the Internet. But in my opinion, for women with insufficient innate strength, no matter how powerful self-defense is, it may fail in the face of ferocious gangsters. The only thing we can do is to stay awake. A calm and self-sustaining brain plays an infinite role in dangerous situations.
The second problem is that women have no recourse after suffering. After the woman called for help in time, a hotel security guard passed by, but she just mistook the cry for help for a farce of a couple quarreling. She saw it and left in a hurry, without taking it to heart. Fortunately, a female tenant didn't leave because she was afraid of problems, but she didn't come forward to help. She just kept watching, and then the noise got louder and louder. The residents on this floor came out to see what happened, and the murderer realized that he was exposed and hurried away from the stairwell.
For everyone's performance, I can only say that everyone is too tolerant of quarreling and pulling between couples. But the most irritating thing is not this, but the hotel's public relations afterwards and the police's reply after the alarm that night. Such a sensational thing happened in the hotel, and the hotel turned a blind eye to it that night, which was chilling. After the alarm that night, the police replied that there was no substantial harm, and the incident was unknown and it was not accepted. Perhaps it was this confusion and frustration that made Wan Wan write such an article about Weibo, which was finally discovered by the majority of netizens. if
Who can guarantee that it won't happen again? So first of all, I want to thank Bender, who made this whole thing appear in front of the world. After all, submit to humiliation can only encourage bad style. Secondly, don't you think the security work of Yihe Hotel is too rough? When someone tore at the hotel stairwell and even the tenants felt something was wrong, the hotel security personnel were indifferent. After the incident, the hotel did not respond. If it has not been revealed, it may not be an apology until now. Safety work should not be sloppy, and safety awareness should not be vague. This is what I want to say to many people engaged in the service industry.
The attack on the woman in Yihe Hotel has aroused widespread concern in society. I think what touches us is not only the tortuous experience, but also what scares us is, what should I do if such a thing happens to me one day?
