10 years ago, Liu Shuo bravely sacrificed himself to save his comrades who fell into the water, but the rescued teenager stood at the door of the court, sneering at the middle-aged woman who couldn't cry: "What does it matter to me if he dies, I didn't ask him to save me, and he didn't save me in the end." ”
Liu Shuo, about 15 years old, passed away like this. "If he doesn't jump into the water and drown, he really deserves it! Such mean words made the woman unbearable, she hugged the statue and reprimanded: "You have no conscience, Fenglong sacrificed to save you!" ”
Image source network Liu Shuo's mother hugged her son tightly and said silently: "Child, you must not talk nonsense, your son is a short-lived ghost, this can't be blamed on my child." ”
Then, Liu Shuo's father interjected: "Don't say it, you just want money, I can give you 3,000, okay?" When the middle-aged woman heard this, she almost fainted, and she couldn't express these ruthless and unrighteous people in words.
So, what did An Fenglong do to make Liu Shuo say such a thing?
On June 7, 2010, Du Xiumei was busy with work when she received a call from Teacher Zhang, who was anxious and nervous, telling Du Xiumei that her son An Fenglong had drowned in the Pearl River, and had received the alarm and rushed to the scene.
Hearing the news, Du Xiumei's heart tightened, her eyes were blurred, she couldn't believe this fact. She immediately put down her work and hurried to the vicinity of the Pearl River.
At that time, it was a hot summer day, and there would usually be many people washing vegetables and washing clothes by the river, but at this moment, many people gathered by the river, and everyone had solemn expressions, waiting for the arrival of the news.
Du Xiumei took a few steps closer, and her heart sank instantly. Familiar clothes and mobile phones are in front of you, but the familiar person is not. She walked forward in a panic and shouted, "Fenglong, are you a**?"
Her shouts caught the attention of a group of students, who began to cry. Du Xiumei recognized them, they were her son's classmates, she grabbed one of them and asked, "Liu Shuo, An Fenglong is **?"
He went**? Liu Shuo was caught by her, cried even more, and replied in a choked voice: "An Fenglong, he is drowning!" Du Xiumei's body instantly lost its strength and sat down on the ground.
The people around have already taken off their clothes and jumped into the water to save people.
In the search for the missing, these zealous people have put in great efforts. One of the young people, in order to help Du Xiumei find her son, did not give up until late at night** when he was wrinkled.
Eventually, An Fenglong's body was found in the lower reaches of the Pearl River. Du Xiumei was in extreme pain, but also very puzzled. She knew her son couldn't swim, so why would he go to play in the river?
Later, she got the story from another good friend of her son, and it turned out that An Fenglong and his four classmates had made an appointment to swim in the Pearl River that day.
It was a hot and scorching day, and everyone gathered in the Pearl River to swim in it and enjoy the cool fun. Suddenly, Liu Shuo volunteered and decided to show off his swimming skills. He went deep into the bottom of the river, only to lose his balance and fall into the water because of the moss under his feet.
Everyone laughed, not ruthlessly, but found that although the river is called a river, it is actually like a small stream, and the depth does not exceed 12 meters. However, just as everyone was laughing, Liu Shuo let out a miserable scream.
It turned out that he had fallen into a deep pit, and with a few mouthfuls of water, he could no longer maintain his balance. This pit is two meters deep, and there is no such depth in the Pearl River in normal times.
Hearing Liu Shuo's call for help, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
An Fenglong bravely rescued people, Wang Jia assisted in time, and Liu Shuo was successfully rescued. But just as they were gasping, Wang Jia found that An Fenglong was gone. They understand that An Fenglong, who can't swim, may be in danger.
The surface of the Pearl River is as calm as a mirror, and there is no trace of An Fenglong. Wang Jia reacted immediately, he called the police, and at the same time ran to a nearby house for help.
Du Xiumei, a single mother, was very proud to hear about her son's heroic rescue action, but she also bowed her head and wept because of the tragedy. Although she travels back and forth between her place of work and home every day, she has some regrets about taking care of her children because she divorced her husband early.
However, her son An Fenglong is very sensible, he almost takes care of the housework at home, and even cooks dinner every day. In an interview with **, Du Xiumei said: "I'm really incompetent as a mother, that kid is too sensible." ”
An Fenglong not only understands the hardships of his mother raising him alone, but his studies have always been at an excellent level.
An accident caused Du Xiumei to lose her son An Fenglong, and the friends who swam together brought their families to apologize and thank, and some even knelt down to apologize. However, when Du Xiumei calmed down, she decided to use legal means to protect her son and her reputation, because she was angry to find out that the matter did not end there.
Since June 7, 2010, Du Xiumei has been hoping to meet Liu Shuo, who saved her son's life. It's not about revenge, it's about saying thank you to him personally.
Du Xiumei found Liu Shuo's family through Wang Jia, and the family of three was outing by the Pearl River as if it had never happened. After seeing Liu Shuo, Du Xiumei was excited, because it was An Fenglong who saved her son's life.
She asked Liu Shuo, "You are Liu Shuo, right?" But Liu Shuo's mother stood in front of him first and said, "Are you Du Xiumei?" Don't expect money from us. Your son's death is deserved, and it has nothing to do with my son! ”
An Fenglong's words deeply hurt Du Xiumei, she didn't come to ask Liu Shuo's family for compensation, she just hoped to hear a word of thanks from Liu Shuo's mouth. However, Liu Shuo's words made her angry: "Wouldn't it be too much for you to say this?" ”
Liu Shuo sneered and responded: "Don't you just want money?" Give you three thousand dollars, and don't let us see you in the future. Hearing this, Du Xiumei's anger reached its peak, her body trembled slightly, and she said resolutely: "You guys are too much, I want to sue you!" ”
The attitude of Liu Shuo's family made her feel cold, and Du Xiumei decided not to talk to them anymore and turned to leave. A month later, Du Xiumei took Liu Shuo's family to court.
After the Du Xiumei incident, netizens were saddened by An Fenglong's sacrifice, and at the same time angry at the arrogant attitude of Liu Shuo's family. In the court, Wang Jia and others were all present, and he solemnly told the court that it was An Fenglong who saved Liu Shuo, and the person who suggested going to the river to play that day was Liu Shuo.
It turned out that on June 7, 2010, Du Xiumei went to work, and An Fenglong gave other students a few days off because of the approaching college entrance examination.
He had nothing to do at home and received an invitation from Liu Shuo to go to an Internet café to play.
Due to loopholes in the management of Internet cafes, minors are easily allowed into Internet cafes. However, An Fenglong, who has been very obedient since he was a child, has never set foot in an Internet café, so he politely declined the invitation of his friends.
When he saw that An Fenglong was unmoved, Liu Shuo put forward a new suggestion, proposing to go to the river to play in the water in the hot summer. Hearing this proposal, An Fenglong was a little moved, because he really needed to cool off.
However, he was a little worried because he couldn't swim. Hearing his concerns, Liu Shuo confidently told him that the Pearl River was very shallow, and the deepest place was no more than 12 meters.
So, An Fenglong accepted Liu Shuo's invitation and went to the river to play with his friends, but tragedy happened.
In the face of the testimony of Wang Jia and others, the expressions of Liu Shuo's family changed from the initial smile to dissatisfaction, and they still did not seem to realize their mistake. At this time, more and more fellow villagers came forward, including witnesses of the day and passers-by who were angry at Liu Shuo's family's actions.
They couldn't stand Liu Shuo's family's reversal of black and white, and decided to seek justice for Du Xiumei in court and make Liu Shuo's family pay for their actions. Even at this time, Liu Shuo's family was still stubborn: "Why is it our fault, his son can't swim and insists on going to the water, what does this have to do with us?" ”
In the case of Du Xiumei and Liu Shuo, the court upheld justice and demanded that Liu Shuo apologize to Du Xiumei and pay 10,000 yuan in compensation. However, this incident did not end, because it was not Liu Shuo who caused An Fenglong's death, but the management of the Pearl River.
The Pearl River was originally a very safe river, and the surrounding residents knew that it was shallow. But why are there so many big potholes all of a sudden? This brings us to the newly opened local sand field.
The owner of the sand farm took a fancy to the natural sand at the bottom of the Pearl River, so he began to mine sand from the river for production. However, due to their unplanned and random sand mining, many large pits appeared at the bottom of the river.
To make matters worse, the sand owners were not prepared to fill up these large pits, nor did they erect warning signs along the river. As a result, the Pearl River, which was once safe, turned into a river full of dangers.
After Du Xiumei sued Liu Shuo's family, she took the Water Conservancy Bureau and the sand field to court. However, the Water Conservancy Bureau and the Shochang argued that Du Xiumei and the school did not educate the children well, and that the riverside was not a place to play.
However, they ignore the problem of poor management of the riverfront. After the insistence of the lawyer and Du Xiumei, the court ruled that the sand field and water conservancy bureau should be held liable and compensated Du Xiumei.
At the same time, they must strengthen the management of the Pearl River to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
An Fenglong's heroic deeds and the selfless help of his fellow villagers show us the kindness and bravery of the world. However, Liu Shuo's family spoke ill of their life-saving benefactor because they evaded their responsibilities, and such a reversal of black and white was really despicable.
We cannot tolerate such behaviour because it is so unfair to those who act bravely. Similarly, attempts to shirk responsibility by sand farms and local water authorities should not be tolerated.
If they succeed in escaping responsibility, it will be a nightmare for other brave men, and no one wants to take that risk again. In the end, Liu Shuo's family was treated indifferently by the people around them because of their behavior, and no matter how they went, they could feel the eyes and reproach of their fellow villagers.
At school, Liu Shuo was troubled by problems in his family. Their misdeeds have spread on campus, making Liu Shuo unable to hold his head up at school. Although no one blamed him, his classmates began to distance themselves from him.
Eventually, Liu Shuo and his parents felt they couldn't stay in their hometown any longer, and they moved out soon after. However, no matter how far they go, the image of the good man who sacrificed himself and called An Fenglong will remain in their hearts.
We should learn from An Fenglong's selfless spirit, but when encountering similar situations, we need to think more and seek help from adults or call the police as much as possible, so as not to put ourselves in a dangerous situation.
This kind of righteousness and courage is what we advocate.
