The lotus is a traditional Chinese flower, symbolizing steadfastness, purity, nobility, innocence and integrity. Chen Zhisui's poem "Ode to the Lotus" says: "We are in the sludge, unstained mud, and no one knows that the white stems are buried in the ground. In the vibrant red, green and clear, the pond does not wait for the wind to fill the pond with fragrance."
The lotus cannot help but give way. I remembered a text I learned in elementary school, "The Lotus Leaves Are Green." My grandmother loved lotus very much, and she cherished and cultivated it like her own grandson. One day, in order to cure a sore on the head of an unknown child, he cut a cherished lotus leaf every few days to treat the child's illness.
The article praises the grandmother’s kindness and helpfulness. Helping others is one of the traditional virtues accumulated by the Chinese nation over thousands of years. Since ancient times, many saints and sages have demonstrated this virtue in their articles and actions.
Although grandma did a trivial thing, it brought people the warmth of the sun, the warmth of the spring breeze, and the sweetness of a clear spring.
"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small." This sentence was said by Liu Bei of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period when he told his son Liu Chan before his death. It was intended to teach Liu Chan that he should not do it. Despise small things, don't not do good things because they have little impact, and don't do bad things just because they have little impact. This statement has become a famous saying through the ages.
But in life, some people quietly walk away when they encounter trouble, "it's none of their business, just hang it up high." No matter how hard it is, they are not willing to help.
Recently, a video of a car crash in Zhumadian City, Henan Province aroused heated discussion among netizens. On the evening of April 21st, the deceased Ma Ruixia lowered her head while walking on a zebra crossing to cross the road, and was immediately knocked to the ground by a taxi. More than a dozen passers-by passed by her and made no move to help. During this period, Ma Ruixia raised her head, which showed that she was not dead yet.
About a minute later, another SUV in the same direction drove by and ran over her. Then the driver of the SUV stopped and came to check.
What is chilling is that within one minute of being hit and crushed twice, no one from more than 10 passing vehicles and about 20 passing pedestrians came forward to rescue.
The hit Ma Ruixia was a holographic image. Pedestrians and vehicles passing by did not seem to see her. She was completely a "transparent person".
According to the video, cover news-West China Metropolis Daily reporter did a rough count and found that after Ma Ruixia was hit for the first time, about 20 cars chose to go around and about 20 pedestrians walked slowly. Pass. It was not until Ma Ruixia was crushed for the second time that a man in black stood on the zebra crossing, took out his mobile phone and called 110 or 120.
But there was no way to save her life, and Ma Ruixia died after resuscitation failed. Ma Ruixia is the youngest daughter in the family. She was originally doing business out of town. In order to take care of his parents more conveniently, he chose to go back to Zhumadian and open a mutton soup shop.
Ma Ruixia's parents have not seen the video on the Internet and do not know the tragedy of their little daughter being hit. After Ma Ruixia's accident, they were reluctant to leave the house. All of Ma Ruixia's photos were put away because they would shed tears when they saw them.
If the car that caused the accident could have stopped when Ma Ruixia was run over for the first time, or other cars could have stopped, or some passers-by could have tried to stop her, maybe she Can survive.
It’s a pity that there are not so many what-ifs, fate is not a windlass.
Lu Xun wrote an article called "Mr. Fujino". The article mentioned that a Chinese man was working as a detective for the Russians and was captured by the Japanese army. He was about to be shot. A group of Chinese people were watching. They also clapped their hands and shouted long live.
One of his own countrymen cheered and shouted when they were shot by the Japanese, so he was called the "inhumane Chinese" in Lu Xun's writings. Lu Xun decided to abandon medicine and pursue literature, using literature as a prescription to heal the national soul and awaken the conscience and awakening of the Chinese people.
Lu Xun’s novels can not only awaken the ignorant citizens of that era, but are also of profound significance in today’s era. Because in the context of economic globalization and increasingly fierce competition, this kind of consciousness and onlooker phenomenon still exist in our lives and affect the progress of society.
In 2012, Wang Peijun, a fishmonger in Yuhu District, Xiangtan City, helped an old man who was not knocked down by himself and paid for her medical expenses. However, he was unable to deal with the subsequent disputes.
The old man’s children came to claim for compensation several times, and the last time they claimed was 200,000 yuan. Wang Peijun cried bitterly and committed suicide by taking poison.
The old man falls and you are worried about being blackmailed. Some netizens said that the indifferent judge in the Nanjing Peng Yu case made a wrong trial and set China's morality back 50 years.
But now a woman is run over by a car. You don’t have a car, so you don’t have to worry about being blackmailed, right? Moreover, surveillance cameras are installed on the road, so everything happening on the road can be seen at a glance.
We chant the slogan: "One World, One Dream" every day. Is it so difficult for us to lend a helping hand? Are we really hopelessly indifferent?
In fact, passers-by who saw Ma Ruixia's accident could not help her but stand next to her and make gestures to remind passing cars that they would not accidentally hit her again because they could not see the road clearly. If you quickly call 110 and 120, Ma Ruixia may be saved. Her parents won't be heartbroken.
I once saw a report about an old man who loaned money to his children to go to college. As a result, he was robbed on his way back at night. His children happened to pass by. Because they could not see clearly at night, they did not act bravely. Later, it was discovered that the person who was robbed was With his tuition, he could never go to college.
A person cannot be isolated from society and others in his life. He needs the care and help of others. At the same time, he should also give his love to others. "Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands." That is the fragrance of happiness and the beauty of care.
The "urban apathy syndrome" has completely destroyed the basic sense of trust between people. They adopt an indifferent attitude towards the environment, public institutions and society around them.
The mentality of most people is: one less thing is worse than one more thing, and just take care of yourself. We don’t harm others, but we don’t act bravely, we don’t do anything, we don’t call the police, we don’t take the initiative to greet the first stranger we see in the morning...
Everyone seems unwilling to admit this fact: we are always We are interdependent, we are all involved in the same process and in a mutual network. Therefore, everything that affects one person directly must affect everyone indirectly.
If the person involved is you, and you are hit by a car, robbed, or drowned, and no one is willing to help you and laugh at you... you may feel that the sky is falling.
Many heart-wrenching and painful events have occurred in recent years. Because of the indifference to rescue, many lives left this world without timely rescue.
However, it is undeniable that beauty and love still exist everywhere in life.
Shenzhen’s “Care Action” has revealed scenes of touching stories. Would you still say that this is an indifferent society? We support extremely poor families, light the light of life for thalassemia children, and send care to those who are seriously ill.
Isn't this the beauty of the soul and the joy of being helped?
