20 years old, youthful and energetic. This age is the beginning of dreams soaring, and it is also a period of high incidence of reckless behavior. At this stage, some people choose to chase their dreams, while others choose a path full of thorns. Looking back on the experience of my friend Li Yong ten years ago, his story is like an incredible nightmare, and the lesson is profound and embarrassing.
Li Yong, a veritable naughty teenager, has never been interested in books. After graduating from high school, he was lost to the margins of society, and after working for a few years, he failed to accumulate a considerable fortune, but instead left his parents in a decadent state. In order to get out of his predicament, he followed several companions to join the MLM organization, but he fell deeper into the quagmire as a result. It only cost his parents 5,000 yuan to get out, but this price did not change his trajectory. Subsequently, he became a soldier, but returned home two years later, still not finding a direction in life.
Li Yong's father, a timber businessman, gave his son a chance to become an excavator master. However, Li Yong did not cherish this opportunity, and often worked only for his own interests, with little foreign aid. In this way, he spent his 21st birthday, and his parents found a local girl for him on a blind date. Although the girl is only a female worker in a curtain processing shop, she has the qualities of hard work and independence. At the age of 19, she is already an experienced driver and often drives for her family's business.
On my father's 50th birthday, the family set up a sumptuous feast to celebrate this special day. Li Yong was not a regular drinker, but at the persuasion of his friends, he let his guard down. After the banquet, he proposed to take his girlfriend to the county seat to wash his feet and sauna, but unexpectedly a tragedy occurred. Although his girlfriend initially insisted on driving by herself, on the way, Li Yong suddenly asked for a change of position. Perhaps because of the excitement of learning to drive, or perhaps because of the onslaught of alcohol, he ignored the dangers of driving without a license.
The god of fate seems to be playing tricks on people, and just as they were driving, an old man suddenly appeared around the corner, causing Li Yong to have to brake suddenly. However, the alcohol had clouded his eyes, and his judgment had become dull. A tragedy that could have been avoided and irreparable because of his impulsiveness and ignorance. knocked down the old man, causing him to die two hours after being taken to the hospital for treatment.
The accident caused Li Yong's parents to fall into extreme panic. They are well aware of the serious consequences of drunk driving without a license before the law. In order to evade the law, they decided to put the blame on their fiancée. However, the fiancée was unwilling to bear this heavy burden of guilt, and she refused the arrangement. She clearly knows that even if she succeeds in taking the blame, she can't erase the damage to her future. What's more, once she is found out, her life will be seriously affected, and she may even lose her driving qualification forever.
At this critical juncture, Li Yong's parents had to seek other solutions. They chose to go private, and exchanged a price of 800,000 yuan for the understanding of the deceased's family. However, the money didn't settle everything, and Li Yong ended up in prison for three years, and his fiancée eventually left him.
This story is a profound warning to young people. Although youth is beautiful, it is also full of ** and traps. No matter when and where, we must keep in mind the bottom line of the law, cherish life, and stay away from danger. Otherwise, the spur of the moment can ruin everything in the future. May every young person be on the road to pursue their dreams, adhere to rationality, cherish life, stay away from illegal behavior, and move towards a bright future.
