The 80-year-old mother crushed 76 sleeping pills and put them in porridge and fed them to her son who was lying on the bed: "Scream, mother, let's go."
This is a heartbreaking story of an eighty-year-old man who poisoned his mentally retarded son with sleeping pills in order to stop him from suffering. What kind of motherly love is this?What kind of desperation is this?What kind of tragedy is this?What kind of social problems are hidden behind this story?Let's take a look.
Mother's hardship: 46 years of taking care of mentally handicapped children, powerless and helpless no one asks
The mother's name is Huang Lan (pseudonym), and her son's name is Li Guoen, who is 46 years old this year. Lai has Down syndrome, is a second-degree intellectual disability and has never been married. Huang Lan has been taking care of her son since he was born, and until May 9 this year, she ended her son's life with sleeping pills.
Huang Lan said that she watched her son live a hard life every day and hurt every day. And her own health is deteriorating, and she can no longer support to take care of him. She was very worried that she would leave her son before her son, she didn't want to leave her son to society, and she didn't want to leave her son's burden to her eldest son's family. She said that she was bent on letting her son die, so that she could die with peace of mind.
Huang Lan's hardships make people sympathize. She is an old man who is powerless, helpless and unasked, she does not get the social care and support she deserves, she does not receive effective psychological counseling and help, she can only use her own way to solve her own predicament. Her approach, while illegal, is understandable.
Social responsibility: protect the rights and interests of the disabled, innovate management methods, and form a long-term and effective assistance mechanism.
Huang Lan's intentional homicide case has aroused widespread concern in society. The prosecution argued that this was a case of "killing out of love" and recommended a suspended sentence, and the court adopted the prosecution's opinion. The chief prosecutor of the case is Qiu Ling, chief prosecutor of the Yuexiu District Procuratorate in Guangzhou, who said in an interview that legal people can also change the image of "coldness" and reflect the "temperature of the law" in law enforcement.
Qiu Ling pointed out that this case reflects a serious social problem, that is, the protection of the rights and interests of the disabled. He said that people with disabilities are a special group that needs more care and help instead of being forgotten and left out. He called on functional institutions to protect the rights and interests of persons with disabilities to innovate management methods and form a long-term and effective support mechanism, so that persons with disabilities and their families can feel the warmth and respect of society.
Qiu Ling's appeal represents the conscience and responsibility of society. Persons with disabilities are members of society who have the same dignity and worth as everyone else, and who have the right to enjoy life and the desire to pursue happiness. The society should give them more attention and support, and provide them with better education, employment, medical care, pension and other services, so that they can fully realize their potential and realize their ideals.
Reflections on Human Nature: Is a Mother's Love Selfless or Selfish?Was her act fulfilling, or was it cruel?
Huang Lan's intentional homicide case also triggered people's thinking about maternal love and human nature. Huang Lan said that she used sleeping pills to help her son "get out of the sea of suffering" in order to stop suffering. She said that she loved her son, and she never disliked him or thought of giving up on him. She said that she was helpless, and her body could no longer support taking care of him.
Huang Lan's words make people feel her maternal love and despair. She is an incomparably great mother, she has spent her life taking care of a mentally handicapped son, she has paid more hard work and sacrifice than ordinary people, and she has endured more pain and pressure than ordinary people. Her motherly love is selfless, and her deeds are fulfillment.
However, Huang Lan's words also make people feel her selfishness and cruelty. She is an extremely selfish mother, she ended an innocent life in her own way, she deprived her son of his right to live and choose, she went against his son's wishes and feelings. Her motherly love is selfish, and her actions are cruel.
