At the age of 18, a story about disputes, tragedies and legal disputes has attracted widespread attention on the hot search list. After the nephew went to get a haircut on the second day of the first lunar month, his uncle died in a car accident that night. Incredibly, my aunt actually pointed the finger at my nephew, accused him of "intentional homicide", and claimed 1 million. This absurd incident makes people wonder how a simple act of rationalization can turn into a court dispute. How does the law adjudicate this dispute? Below we will take a deep dive into this case** and reveal the joys and sorrows behind it.
(1) The nephew goes out for a haircut
Liu, an ordinary nephew, left home angrily to get a haircut after being criticized by his uncle for his hairstyle on the second day of the Lunar New Year. After getting a haircut, he went to a party with his friends, unaware of the tragedy that night. The next day, when he learned that his uncle had died in a car accident, he went to offer his condolences. However, it unexpectedly fell into a bigger storm. After learning that he had a haircut, his aunt took him to court on the charge of "intentional homicide" and demanded huge compensation.
Expanding: On the winter day when Liu went to get a haircut, pedestrians were in a hurry on the street, and the sky was covered with flying snowflakes. The barber shop was warm, smelling the faint scent of the barber, Liu closed his eyes relaxedly, feeling the gentle massage of the barber's fingers. The sound of the scissors falling made him feel a kind of release, as if all his worries had been cut away one by one. After the haircut, the new image in the mirror makes him happy, and the party with friends is even more joyful. However, he never imagined that this seemingly ordinary day would turn into a huge twist and turn.
(2) The aunt sues the nephew
After learning that her uncle had died, her aunt found out that Liu had gone to the barbershop and was very angry. She claimed that a so-called "Daisen" claimed that the New Year's haircut caused an ominous event, which led to the death of her uncle in a car accident while riding a bicycle while drinking. What's even more ridiculous is that she sued Liu to the public security organ on the grounds that he "didn't report his knowledge". After the investigation by the public security organs failed, my aunt took this absurd case to court and demanded high compensation.
Expanding: My aunt's old Long Zhong's face was full of anger and incomprehension, and her eyes flashed with grief and indignation. She used to be the elder who knew rituals and paid attention to traditions, and in her opinion, Liu's behavior was not only disrespectful to family traditions, but also unfilial piety to her deceased husband. The grievances and anger in her heart condensed into the courage to accuse, even though the case seemed absurd and unreasonable to the outside world. When she walked resolutely to the courtroom, it was as if she wanted to seek justice for her lost loved ones.
The local people's court heard the case and finally made a ruling. The court found that the cause of the uncle's car accident was drunk driving, and there was no direct causal relationship with Liu's behavior. Therefore, the court rejected the aunt's claim and ruled that Liu did not need to bear the liability for civil tort damages. The result of this ruling has aroused heated discussions and reflections from all walks of life, and people have questioned and discussed the fairness of the law and the judgment of common sense.
Expanding: In the courtroom, the judges looked solemn and carefully studied the case file. They judge every detail impartially, judging the truth with the sword of balance of the law. During the trial, Liu's young and immature face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and he did not expect that a simple barber would involve himself in such a complex dispute. And my aunt's gaze was firm and sad, and she seemed to use this lawsuit to prove her persistence and loyalty. When the judge announced the verdict, the courtroom was suddenly noisy, and people were talking about it a lot, and they had different views and thoughts on the fairness and justice of the law.
The saying that the first month of the year is a haircut and the uncle dies" has been spread among the people since ancient times, where does this come from? According to the data, there are two main sources of this statement. One theory holds that after Manchuria entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, people of all ethnic groups were forced to shave their hair into braids, but they were resisted. People use various excuses to avoid shaving their hair, and in the end it is misunderstood as "missing old things". The story has been passed down and slowly turned into the saying of "dead uncle". Another theory originates from the "braid-cutting order" of the ** period, when it was stipulated that people had to cut their hair to adapt to the trend of the times. Therefore, the saying that "the uncle who died with a haircut in the first month" also came from this. Nowadays, this ancient custom has gradually faded, and people's attitudes towards haircuts have gradually tended to be casual and open.
Expansion: Behind every ancient custom is a period of historical precipitation and cultural accumulation. In ancient times, the conflict between conservatism and reform was frequently staged, and society was always moving forward in change. When the Qing Dynasty began to force Han Chinese to shave their hair and keep it in braids, many chose to keep their hair and keep their traditions. They believed that hair was given by their parents and could not be damaged, so they resisted the rule of shaving. And this sense of "nostalgia" has unwittingly become a deep-rooted custom in word of mouth. With the change of the times and the evolution of culture, these seemingly outdated sayings and customs are slowly fading the dust of history and becoming less and less valued.
This absurd case provokes people to think about law and folklore. The final ruling made by the court protected Liu's legitimate rights and interests and provided a guarantee for normal folk activities. However, the aunt blames a tragedy on folk customs, which makes people think about the rationality of family disputes and emotional catharsis. The conflict between ancient customs and modern society is a topic of speculation for us. We should respect tradition and treat it rationally, and we should not allow folk customs to rise to the level of law and morality. The absurdity of the case reflects the delicate relationship between family ties, cultural heritage and legal rulings. Only on the premise of respecting the law and tradition can society develop more harmoniously.
In such an era full of distractions and collisions of traditions, we need to be more tolerant and rational. The law is the guardian of social order, and tradition is the essence of cultural accumulation. It is only in the process of the integration of law and tradition that disputes and understandings between people can be truly resolved. Let us work together to keep the framework of governance, inherit the genes of culture, and create a better society. May the absurd case become an opportunity for us to reflect and lead us in the direction of progress.
