On December 13, 2019, a tragedy occurred in Xinxiang, Henan. Ms. Jiang burst into tears as soon as she thought of her two-year-old daughter. Recalling that terrible November 2 two years ago, Ms. Jiang was riding an electric tricycle with her two daughters on their way home when a vehicle suddenly rushed out and crashed them into the air. She broke both legs on the spot and fell into a coma, while her youngest daughter was tragically killed beyond recognition. At the time of the incident, the driver Xu had been drinking heavily from noon until 7 p.m., not only driving without a license, but also speeding wildly, and escaping after hitting Ms. Jiang's mother and daughter.
Xu's behavior was outrageous, and the court ruled that he was fully responsible for the accident and sentenced him to four years and six months in prison. The court also decided that Xu should compensate Ms. Jiang and her young daughter 610,000 yuan. However, after seven months of negotiations, Xu has not paid a penny so far. Ms. Jiang had to apply for compulsory enforcement, but Xu only had 17 yuan in her name. Ms. Jiang searched around for Xu's family, but found that his parents had moved away, his wife had shut down, and his brother had avoided talking about the matter. At present, Xu's account has been frozen, and his property is being liquidated.
This tragedy reminds us once again that drunk driving without a license is a serious threat to safety, and hit-and-run is a moral betrayal. Xu's criminal behavior brought the happy life of a mother and daughter to a dramatic end. In the face of Ms. Jiang's family's bitter claims, Xu's ignorance and evasion are undoubtedly another injury to the victim.
Justice is the cornerstone of society, and for victims of tragedy, redress is the only way to rebuild their lives. However, in this case, Ms. Jiang faced a difficult road to compensation. Xu knew how much property he had in his original name, but he transferred the property and evaded the payment of compensation, evading the punishment of the law for his own criminal responsibility. This kind of unscrupulous behavior not only harms the victims, but also harms the fairness and justice of the whole society.
Now, Ms. Jiang can only rely on the law to enforce the law in the hope of getting the compensation she deserves. But there were many difficulties ahead of her. Xu only has a meager 17 yuan in his name, which cannot make up for the huge losses suffered by Ms. Jiang and her late daughter. At the same time, Xu's family also survived the incident to evade the moral and legal responsibility of the victim. This has also led to deep reflection on the moral concept of society as a whole.
The judicial authorities made a judgment in this case, but the implementation of the judgment faced many challenges. Under the protection of the law, Ms. Jiang sought her due rights and interests, but found that Xu and his family had already fled. This has made us more aware that the improvement of the criminal law needs to be strengthened urgently and that there should be stricter sanctions for criminals who evade liability.
In addition to the improvement of the legal system, each of us should uphold a moral conscience and call on the public to pay attention to such incidents and work together to create a civilized and harmonious society. We cannot tolerate hit-and-run accidents and non-payment of compensation, nor can we sit idly by. The public should actively strengthen moral restraint so that such incidents can be better resolved and victims can receive the remedies they deserve.
This hit-and-run incident involving unlicensed drunk driving in Xinxiang, Henan Province, has brought great pain and hardship to the victims. Xu and his family's ignorance and evasion of the victim is undoubtedly a trampling on justice. We demand a more complete legal system and more resolute enforcement of the law, so as to protect the rights and interests of victims and safeguard the morality, fairness and justice of the whole society. It is the responsibility of each of us to strengthen the concept of morality and call on the public to work together to build a harmonious society and fight for the justice that every victim deserves.
