More than 40 students from the College of Arts and Sciences of Yangtze University traveled together and had a picnic by the Baota River in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province. These more than 40 students are freshmen, from Class 509 1 and Class 5092. 10 at about 2 pm, a cry for help came. Two teenagers fell into the water from a small sand dune in the river about 3 meters away from the beach. Because the sand dunes are at the bend of the river, the two teenagers who fell into the water were washed by the river and kept rolling, and gradually drifted into the river.
Everyone ran to the place where two teenagers fell into the water. Xu Bincheng,,, Gong and others jumped into the water successively. At the same time, 19-year-old Chen, a freshman majoring in civil engineering at the School of Urban Construction of Yangtze University, jumped into the river from dozens of meters downstream of the bend in time and swam upstream to the drowning boy. In a hurry, everyone had no time to take off their clothes. Li Jialong and Xu Bincheng sent one of the boys overboard to a fishing boat nearby.
The topography of the river bottom near the sand dunes is quite special: there is a steep slope with a depth of 6 meters at the river bottom several meters away from the sand dunes. Most of the students who went into the water to save people have no experience of swimming in the river. After passing the steep river bank, many students were swept away by the river and were in danger. Zhao Fang and Zhang Rongbo and others called for help because of physical exhaustion. Zhang Rongbo was successfully rescued and Zhao Fang disappeared from the river. Chen Jishi, who swam across the bend of the river, was swept underwater because of the vortex on the river.
When several college students jumped into the river to save people, the rest of the college students on the river joined hands to form an adult ladder to meet the rescued person and prepare to pull another boy into the water. In front of the ladder are female students Jiang Menglin and Kong Xuan. /kloc-He, a 0/9-year-old boy, rushed to the escalator, holding the hand of a female classmate, trying to stand in the water, leaning forward and trying to catch the drowning boy. Unexpectedly, He Xu Dong slipped into the deep water as soon as he stepped over the steep bank at the bottom of the river, and Jiang Menglin and Kong Xuan behind him were also taken into the water. At this time, three winter swimmers in the distance heard the news and rescued two girls and another boy who fell into the water. But he Xu Dong unfortunately sank to the bottom of the river. A few hours later, the bodies of Chen Jishi, He and He were salvaged and landed.
A few years ago, Yangtze University produced Zhao Chuanyu, a hero who saved people from the Han River, and now a group of college students have saved people. Liu Zhengyu, a junior majoring in public affairs at Yangtze University, said that although some people say that the post-90s generation is a "beat generation" compared with the post-80s generation, the spirit of perseverance, self-improvement and mutual help shown by the post-90s generation is no less than that of any generation from last year's Olympic torch relay overseas to Wenchuan earthquake relief and this time to rescue people in the water.
Saving college students' lives requires more than touching.
In the past few days, the story of Yangtze University 15 students joining hands to save two drowning teenagers has been widely circulated. These heroic deeds touched many people. Not only did the government commend or posthumously award the title of hero, but all walks of life also raised a lot of donations for the families of the victims.
Each of us was deeply moved by the righteous acts of three brave and pure children who sacrificed themselves to save lives. They used to want to be movie stars and basketball superstars and live in a house of their own design. However, the cruel reality and unexpected bad luck have taken all these beautiful dreams away. What is left is the infinite pain of relatives and the sigh of the same generation.
However, when we returned to Baota Bay, the rescue site at that time, we found sadly that the deaths of three college students probably should not have happened.
It is reported that Baota Bay, where three students were killed, was described by local people in Jingzhou as a "beautiful killer" or a "beautiful trap". According to the local propaganda department, five or six people drown here every year because of swimming. Baotawan Swimming Club said, "Only we have voluntarily rescued more than 65,438,000 tourists since 2003." However, in such a dangerous place, there are no technical protection measures, no on-site inspectors and lifeguards, and Jingzhou does not even have a water search and rescue team. The death of three college students undoubtedly exposed the lack of public services in local government departments.
What's more, just as the students lined up to rescue the drowning man, a mechanical fishing boat was parked less than 5 meters away from the two teenagers, and there was a restaurant converted from a water fishing boat 20 meters away. Although some students knelt down to the fishing boat owner and begged them to see if they could be rescued and recruit three people, they were indifferent. The reason is, "How can we make money if there are no dead people on the Yangtze River?"
"How can a few people make money without dying?" That sounds horrible. Yes, it's hard to figure out. Quiet rivers have bred countless generations of civilizations. However, until today, the numb people waiting to salvage the bodies on the river under the blue sky are as indifferent as bamboo poles beside the boat. They are like eagles waiting to eat meat outside the ancient execution ground, sticking to their posts and waiting for death.
Such a scene is inevitably reminiscent of a group of people living in the movie Button Man. They covered up the murder scene and destroyed the body. Their mantra is "it's none of our business to live." It seems that this is the division of labor in the world. There is no good or evil here, only interests. As a fate, human beings are falling apart.
However, considering the prevalence of money worship, different degrees of moral decay and various social injustices, at this moment, we can't completely blame the indifference of onlookers. People will never forget that after the "Peng Yu case" in Nanjing a few years ago, someone immediately came to a conclusion-"Don't help the old man when he falls to the ground". Similarly, just recently, when several "fishing law enforcement" cases in Shanghai were exposed one after another, many people began to understand-"It's none of my business that this car refused to carry a rescue and gave birth to a girl, a car accident, a stroke, an electric shock and drowning." In the above-mentioned drowning case, even the people involved in the rescue are feeling, "It is good to get a thank you for saving a life."
Several children fell into the water, and everyone could see it with the naked eye. It is worth asking: over the years, has our integrity and kindness fallen into the water? Do we still need to save our simple compassion? Heroic college students have been highly praised by the society, and their spirit should also touch those still numb hearts, right? Obviously, for a country or society, being good is a permanent systematic project, which is not only related to government behavior and social relations, but also related to what kind of value pursuit this era has.
Fortunately, no matter how many unsatisfactory places there are in this society, there are still many people who live according to the good nature of human beings. 10 year 10 on 28th, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life spontaneously went to pay their respects to the children. A few brave and pure children, unknown before their death, are widely circulated after their death. Let us mourn and learn to respect integrity and kindness.
In the silent autumn, the dead are gone. We mourn and praise these children, not to encourage sacrifices, but to further think about how to avoid such sacrifices and prevent innocent people from passively becoming heroes.
Is it worthwhile for college students to save a life and then sacrifice? The image of the post-90s generation has been improved.
The heroic feat of college students not only touched the whole society, but also triggered a debate about whether it was worth it. Xinmin Evening News reported, "If it were you, would you make an underwater ladder?" To this question, Zhu Xinwen, Department of Political Science and Education of East China Normal University, replied: "Three lives for two lives? I think it depends on whether I have the ability to save people. " Fang Yi, a student from the School of Telecommunications, Shanghai Jiaotong University, believes that these college students are virtuous, but they should save others on the premise of protecting themselves, otherwise the cost will be too high. "Some netizens retorted:" In times of crisis, people's first reaction is to save people. It is impossible to think about whether it is worth it. "
Before I saved two teenagers and sacrificed three college students, someone put on "trading glasses" and looked at it, and the conclusion was not worth it! The reasons are: first, three lives for two lives, the number is not worth it; Secondly, none of the college students can swim, but they rushed into the water with more courage than wisdom.
In this regard, shenyang evening news commented that this method of ex post accounting is not desirable. In the era of market economy, when we are used to trading, the concept of trading is easy to overflow-support is trading, schooling is trading, work is trading, making friends is trading, and marriage is trading ... So, everything we do is like actuarial-is it worth it? Yes, on the surface, it is a loss, but it is a bit worthless. However, with their own lives, they built an immortal monument to the younger generation; They resolutely declared war on the indifference of the world with earth-shattering feats; They are sons of human beings, but they give their great love to other people's sons. This commentary also believes that people should always have a little spirit, even if they make sacrifices and do something that seems "unworthy". We must give enough respect to such people and things, instead of blaspheming with suspicion.
This incident has also triggered a change in people's bad views on the post-90 s. A commentary on Jingchu Online believes that 0/7 college students of Yangtze University/KLOC risked their lives and sacrificed themselves to save others, which in itself is a powerful attack on social censure and suspicion. Their selfless performance vividly shows that the post-90s generation is not a "beat generation", but a respectable, credible and promising generation.
Xinmin Evening News interviewed Shi Suohua, an ideological and political teacher at Shanghai Jiaotong University. He believes that in people's traditional impression, post-80s and post-90s are more self-centered, but this incident is enough to prove that they are the hope of the future motherland. "Our society advocates collectivism and dedication, and traditional morality also contains related content. The behavior of these college students is showing such a' human brilliance'. " Shi Suohua also believes that their behavior is not "exchanging gold for stones", but this spiritual power is enough to influence 654.38+03 billion people.
"Courage" is always a proposition of the times.
Courage is an enduring topic in today's society. In reality, there are not only touching heroes like Wei Qinggang, but also the heartache caused by the "hero's blood and tears" incident, and even more, minors are blindly brave and dedicated, which makes people feel moved and sad at the same time. Zhou Xiaozheng, director of the Institute of Law and Society of Renmin University of China, said: "The' 80s' and' 90s' are a generation with personality and ideas, which can win glory for our country and win the Olympic champion; Can be in the earthquake relief, Olympic Games, National Day celebrations, World Expo, to show the grace of volunteers; It can also save people and make heroic sacrifices. " For this news, although people will still question the scientificity of college students' ways of saving lives and the equivalence of life values, in my opinion, this cannot deny the value and significance of being brave as a proposition of the times.
It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to uphold justice and be brave, and it has been the spiritual pillar to inspire people to crack down on evil for many years. However, under the premise of social transformation, traditional social habits are undergoing unprecedented changes, people's value orientation has undergone great changes, and social moral standards will decline to a certain extent, holding the spectator psychology of "sweeping the snow in front of the door and ignoring the frost of others". These are all manifestations of social anomie.
Courage, in the sea of words, is interpreted as being brave. First appeared in The Analects? Politics: "If you don't do whatever you want, you will go forward bravely." . Broadly speaking, the general act of doing good and helping each other is also an act of doing good, which should be advocated. How to effectively form an atmosphere of doing good in the whole society is a problem that we should face directly. Needless to say, moral education has always been an effective way for us to advocate courage, and the society should make use of various news media to vigorously publicize typical cases and promote righteousness. The heroic deeds of three college students from Yangtze University, the alma mater of Zhao Chuanyu, a hero who saved people from the Han River, not only brought us admiration, but also brought us new thinking.
Being brave is the concrete embodiment of the spirit of the times and the important content of building a harmonious socialist society. Justice will not naturally come to our lives, it needs every member of society to defend it. Society is a union. Only by helping each other and being kind to each other can the world become a beautiful world. Three college students set an example for us.
Scholar Neil? McCormick pointed out: "There are two types of institutional morality: on the one hand, it must adapt to the actual legal system and politics of the envisaged civilized society as much as possible. On the other hand, in meeting the requirements of this adaptation, it should be possible to approach our background political and moral ideals. " Only by combining lofty moral ideals with a perfect legal system for doing good can we give full play to the enthusiasm of encouraging citizens to do good and promote the moral construction of citizens and the formation of a good social atmosphere.
You can be indifferent, but you must not be shameless!
-comment on the incident of "college students drowning to save lives"
Yangtze University, the alma mater of Zhao Chuanyu, the hero of the Han River rescue, has another hero group. On the 24th, in order to save two teenagers who fell into the water, 10 many college students jumped into the river hand in hand for rescue, two teenagers were rescued, and three college students were unfortunately swallowed up by the river and died heroically.
Three young lives have gone, quietly and earth-shattering, righteously and deplorable; Two teenagers who fell into the water were reborn, but they gave their lives. They wrote a heroic hymn with their lives, and used their heroic feats to satirize "the post-90s generation is a beat generation". After the matter was reported by the relevant media, it quickly caused widespread shock and infinite respect in the society. However, there are always some people in the network who never seem to see the flash of human nature. They always want to explore and think about "value and valuelessness" based on the so-called rational vision and the spirit of "seeking truth from facts". So such as "I can't swim, should I save people?" "Is it worthwhile to save two people and sacrifice three?" "Should I be brave or be brave?" In response to these so-called rational, almost numb "cold thinking", the author can't help but think of a sentence by Mr. Wang Xuming, the former spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, when evaluating Fan Paopao: "Being a man can be noble, but not shameless!"
I remember in the 1980s, a college student named Zhang Hua from the Fourth Military Medical University gave his life to save an old farmer who was digging dung. Whether it is worthwhile for a college student to sacrifice himself to save a farmer who digs dung has been hotly debated in society. Then, a large website launched a project "What would you do if you heard someone calling for help in the street?" The survey results show that 60% of people are not helpful to embarrassment and humor. What is even more ridiculous is that Mr. Fan Meizhong, who takes personal life as the priority and ignores students' lives and takes the lead in "running away", has actually got the enthusiasm of these "rational people". Strange, has our society become so heartless?
When someone falls into the water, as long as he is kind and upright, even if he can't swim at all, he will never go to a dead end. A few years ago, Zhao Chuan Yu Hanjiang, a post-80s student at Yangtze University, touched many people by saving lives. Wei Wei, an 87-year-old writer, wrote in the letter: "All this deeply touched me, and let me see Lei Feng's figure and noble soul again through history!" Today, a few years later, male and female college students of Yangtze University 10 risked their lives to save people, knowing that it was dangerous to save people. However, due to the fall of Chen Jishi, He, and others, they have been questioned and ridiculed. -Is this the way for "rational" online commentators to assume social responsibility? Is this what we want "keeping pace with the times" and "harmony"?
It is true that "life first" is the foundation of human beings, and "scientific rescue" should also be advocated. But Yangtze University 10 more than 0 college students rescued drowning teenagers, isn't it the embodiment of "life first"? Who does "life first" point to as a greater virtue in front of yourself and others? As an educator, the author has been saddened by the long-term indifference of society and people's indifferent negative mentality, and also by the arrogance and ignorance of the post-90 s. But today, the author sees the dauntless of contemporary college students and the hope of the country from Chen Jishi, He, and Yangtze University 10 male and female college students! -This heroic collective of "those who know are fearless and give their lives to save others" is not only a model for our times, but also proves with practical actions that they are a reliable force for the continuous progress of society and deserve the trust and respect of society, and even more worthy of the awe and admiration of our online commentators!
Three college students left, quietly but earth-shattering, righteously but deplorable! When the whole country mourns and worships, should we, as online commentators, also reflect on whether we have an indifferent attitude, whether we have inadvertently closed the floodgate of our hearts, whether we have always held the concept of "nothing to do with ourselves", and whether we have always gloated or even ridiculed? !
Some people are dead, but he is still alive; Some people live, but they die! -you can be indifferent, but you must not be shameless! Please don't disgrace the heroic feat of "giving your life to save others" and don't desecrate the dead hero! ! !
Being brave and brewing tragedies frequently, reflecting afterwards and calling for popularizing survival education and self-help knowledge.
There are still many post-mortem reflections on college students' sacrifice to save lives. Xuzhou Daily published an article saying that the tragedy wouldn't have happened if those teenagers hadn't gone to the seaside to play in danger. If the drowning teenager is familiar with water, college students don't have to take risks; If the rescued college students are skilled in swimming, it may not be difficult to rescue the drowning teenager. In other words, even if their swimming skills are not superb, if they can organize rescue safely and effectively, maybe the tragedy can be avoided. It is not meaningless to mourn and learn from heroes.
In this accident, there are still a group of heroes worthy of attention. Three winter swimmers who were exercising nearby participated in the rescue of six college students who fell into the water when they were rescued by the rushing river. One of the three winter swimmers is 46 years old, and the other two are retired workers, aged 6 1. It is because of long-term swimming exercise that they have skilled swimming skills and rich rescue knowledge.
Earthquake and tsunami, robbery and theft, drowning fire, electric shock poisoning, etc. Numerous natural and man-made disasters will come unexpectedly. One experience is enough to know the necessity of survival education. At present, the implementation of quality education is in full swing, and the most basic and important survival quality training should be among them. Finally, the article calls for popularizing the education of survival knowledge and self-help knowledge in the whole society, and incorporating it into the curriculum of primary and secondary schools as a compulsory subject, so that each student can gain more survival knowledge and gain more power to save himself in dangerous situations.
