Should the old man who fell on the road help him write 900 words?
The media exposed many cases, such as the Peng Yu case, which helped the elderly who fell to do good deeds, was falsely accused by the elderly as the perpetrator, and even awarded huge compensation by the court on the grounds of "common sense judgment". More and more public opinions are beginning to discuss and point to a realistic social problem-should the elderly be helped to fall? This seemingly simple question, perhaps in the past thousands of years, is nothing more than a simple lift a finger, but the simple details highlight the big moral problems of the whole society. Unfortunately, it seems that it has become a luxury social morality, and may even bankrupt those "good people" with good will and moral conscience. Whether the fallen elderly should get help from the whole society, the public and the media has actually proved that social morality has gone bankrupt to some extent. Obviously, as a social person, it seems that no one can answer this question. However, the public seems to expect an answer. For example, someone tried to see the Nanjing Peng Yu case overturned and subverted, hoping that the law could answer whether we should help. I even hope to see the unscrupulous Nanjing judges and Tianjin judges punished for those old people who falsely accused Peng Yu. However, it seems that this is also an extravagant hope. So far, there has been no response except expectation. Justice Nanjing is still sitting in the solemn court with peace of mind, interpreting the sacred laws of China with his "common sense" logic. This is really confusing. Ironically, today, I saw that the Ministry of Health stood up untimely and gave a "scientific" answer to the question of whether the old man should be helped when he fell. According to a report by Xinhuanet Beijing on September 6, falling is the first cause of injury and death among the elderly over 65 in China. What should I do if I find the old man fall? The "Technical Guide for Fall Intervention for the Elderly" issued by the Ministry of Health on the 6th suggested: Don't rush to get up, but deal with it according to the situation. The guide suggests that if the elderly are unconscious, the people present should call the emergency number immediately. If there is trauma or bleeding, immediately stop bleeding and bandage; If you have vomiting, you should tilt your head to one side, and solemnly point out that if you don't have relevant professional knowledge, don't move around casually, so as not to aggravate your illness, you should call the emergency number immediately; Check for low back pain, back pain, incontinence, etc. And if you don't have relevant professional knowledge, don't touch it casually, so as not to aggravate the condition, call the emergency number immediately; If the old man tries to stand up by himself, he can help the old man to stand up slowly, sit down, rest and observe, and make sure there are no obstacles before leaving; If you need to move, you should ensure stability and try to rest on your back; All falls should be accompanied by family members or family health care personnel to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, to find out the risk factors of falls, to assess the risk of falls, to formulate preventive measures and programs, and so on. Why did I say that the Ministry of Health jumped out at this time to answer whether the fallen old man should be helped? It was funny or even inappropriate. It is because the focus of public attention is actually not technical issues, but social morality, social morality and legal fairness and justice, which is completely different from the warning of the Ministry of Health that "don't help the fallen elderly casually". In fact, the Ministry of Health should have released similar scientific tips to the public a long time ago, but it seems that there is a lot of discussion in society. Because the Ministry of Health can't answer the social morality and values that the public is concerned about at present, and it can't answer why Peng Yu, Xu Yunhe, Yin Hongbin and other good people are embarrassed. Of course, it is impossible to answer the trampling of the law by the corrupt Nanjing and Tianjin judges. Just now, after Li Laohan, an 88-year-old man from Wuhan, fell at the gate of the food market less than 100 meters away from home, many onlookers were afraid to lend a helping hand. In the end, the old man died of suffocation due to nosebleeds blocking the respiratory tract, which shocked the whole society. Can you not be shocked? Can you not be chilling? Who has no old man? Who won't grow old by themselves? Who wants to see this tragic situation? Obviously, the public's indifference and insensitivity to the fall of the elderly should be reviewed by the whole society and even everyone. Many people stand on the moral high ground and accuse the media of overexposure or exaggeration, or accuse indifferent bystanders of using the Peng Yu case as an excuse to find their insensitivity, and claim that they will not hesitate to come forward in similar situations. In fact, anyone can say such a big talk. The key is that the sad scene of an 88-year-old man falling in Wuhan will still appear. I think it is necessary for the media to discuss whether the so-called fallen old man should be helped. This is by no means a selective and deliberate exaggeration of the report, but a question about the current decline of morality and values in the whole society, because similar indifference and insensitivity not only occur in fallen old people, but also in other cases, such as stories of heroes bleeding and tears, such as the cry of "quick jump" when onlookers commit suicide by jumping off a building, such as the passengers on the bus turning a blind eye to thieves. So back to the so-called question of whether to help the fallen elderly, although everyone will find this question very chilling, it is very realistic. Who is willing to pay a kind heart, but may eventually risk being falsely accused or even sentenced to huge compensation by the court? Even if the proportion of this risk is very low, it is at least a risk. After all, the vast majority of people who want to do good deeds are ordinary wage earners, and some even students. As long as this kind of risk exists, it will certainly cause a considerable number of people to become hesitant or even indifferent when facing the fallen old man. It seems that solving this problem is not as simple as a few seemingly virtuous people shouting a few moral slogans in the media and online. Mr. Lu Xun has long said that there are always people "full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of thieves and prostitutes." At present, it seems that the only thing that can reassure the public can only be the conviction of those typical cases, or at least the conviction of insufficient evidence, especially the reasoning judgment of Nanjing judges "judging by common sense". If the judge is dismissed from public office or the Xu Yunhe case in Tianjin can have a legally convincing judgment, maybe the law can answer these questions.
