The man who rescued people went to court and left silently, why was he sued by his family?
Zeng Guang's "Xianwen-Zhu Zi's Family Motto" wrote:"If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring"。It can be seen that gratitude has always been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
However, as society continues to progress and develop, it seems to be getting harder and harder to help others. In fact, in recent years in society"Touch porcelain"、"Help or not"、"Good intentions are not rewarded"and other events emerge one after another. This makes"Helping others is fun"It is highly questioned in people's minds. Today, the protagonist we are going to talk about encountered such a thing, sacrificing himself to save a little girl, although the little girl's family came to repay the kindness, but had to go to court.
At 3 p.m. on December 9, 1999, Yang Yong, a resident of Pizhou City, Jiangsu Province, who sells ginger for a living, rode his bicycle on his way home, unaware that what was about to happen would change his life. As he rode near a wood processing plant, Yang heard cries for help. He followed the prestige and saw a young girl in a red dress still struggling by the river. There was a lot of talk around them, but no one wanted to go into the water to save people in the cold winter, only that the girl had fallen into the water.
Yang Yong saw that the girl's life was dying, so he drank a few sips of water and jumped into the water to save people. For thirty-nine days, the temperature under the water reached below freezing, and in the biting cold wind, Yang Yong struggled to pull the girl out of the water and ashore. The child was transferred to a motorbike and taken away. Yang Yong stood on the shore, soaking wet. He shivered from the cold and just asked the onlookers for help, hoping that the good Samaritan would take him to the hospital. But he heard the cries of birds and beasts, the crowd dispersed, and Yang Yong had no choice but to flee home against the cold wind.
The cold wind cut Yang Yong's bones like a knife, and he still fell to the ground not far from home. Fortunately, he was seen by a neighbor and helped him home. A few days later, Yang Yong developed a fever. At first, he thought it was just a cold, but after a few days, his legs and waist began to ache. In the end, he was diagnosed with"Paralysis", also known as:"Cancer that doesn't die", need to be long-term**, can't**. The illness made it almost impossible for Yang Yong to work, adding to his already difficult family.
One day, Yang Yong's neighbor saw a message on TV that the family of a little girl in need of help was looking for a lifesaver. Yang Yong immediately contacted the girl's family, and at first they had a good impression of the life-saving benefactor, bought him gifts, and wanted to repay him with money. In the spirit of helping others, the two families often visited each other and established a very harmonious relationship.
However, Yang Yong's condition became more and more serious, and the family's savings were spent. When Yang Yong spent 5,000 yuan as a bonus, he had to pin his hopes on Mrs. Huang, the family of the rescued girl. He asked Ms. Huang to file a lawsuit against the perpetrator in order to recover the medical bills and thus relieve the stress of her own life.
However, Ms. Huang firmly refused the request, arguing that her daughter had not suffered any major harm, so there was no need for a lawsuit, and the family did not want to be involved in legal proceedings. Yang Yong was very angry when he heard this, saying that saving Ms. Huang's daughter hurt his own daughter, and now he wants to help them fight a lawsuit to recover the medical expenses. Angry, Yang Yong returned home and immediately had someone write a letter to the Huang family.
Maybe the words were too heavy, and the next day, the girl's mother called Yang Yong and scolded him for being bloody. When he found the reporter who covered the case and saw how the hero who saved people became a villain, Yang Yong's heart was filled with indescribable anger. In desperation, Yang Yong had no choice but to go to Huang's house to ask for an explanation, saying that the content of the letter was too disturbing and he didn't know it. and repeatedly persuaded the Huang family to help the perpetrators and let them solve it by themselves without spending money on lawsuits. But the Huang family still refused, and at the same time said that they didn't want to deal with Yang Yong anymore in the future, and hoped that he would not be interested anymore.
After Yang Yong's story was published, a kind lawyer was ready to provide him with legal assistance. According to article 93 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, Yang Yong is entitled to compensation. Therefore, Yang Yong is willing to use the law to protect himself. In fact, before Yang Yong made his decision, he had already visited Huang's house once, but when Mrs. Huang knew that Yang Yong was going to take him to court. Mrs. Huang was very emotional:"I didn't let you save him, I had known, I would have let him drown. "Yang Yong was disappointed and decided to take the Huang family to court again.
At the end of 2000, Yang Yong rescued the girl's family, sat in court as a defendant, and demanded 260,000 yuan in compensation. However, due to the large amount, the court rejected his claim and subsequently requested the court to mediate. However, the mediation failed, and in 2001, this rare case of righteousness and courage was finally brought to the court, and the court ruled that the fact of Yang Yong's rescue was established, and ordered Huang and the perpetrator Chen to compensate Yang Yong 2,583 yuan and 3,890 yuan respectively. However, this money was only a drop in the bucket for Yang Yong, and Yang Yong appealed, but the court ultimately upheld the original verdict. The farce lasted for several years, and Yang Yong subsequently appealed and filed several lawsuits, but to no avail. His wife fell ill with rage.
Who would have thought that a heroic feat of saving beauty would turn into an endless lawsuit?As the old saying goes:"A gentleman is noble and humble, putting himself before others"。Yang Yong has done it, and it is worth learning from Xi. However, if everyone who has been helped does not have a grateful heart, who will want to help others in the future?This question is more worthy of our deep thought.
