On April 13, 2019, Wang Yong, a retired soldier from Huludao City, Liaoning Province, rescued a 3-year-old boy who fell into a manure tank while accompanying his son for a physical examination for the college entrance examination.
Recently, news spread on the Internet that Wang Yong suffered physical injuries due to rescuing people and left sequelae. Now he needs to take medicine every day. In addition, he has to pay for the medical expenses of rescuing people.
The reporter learned from the Liaoning Huludao City Volunteer Foundation that they have been informed of the matter and are actively involved in verifying the situation with Wang Yong. They said they will never let the hero be wronged.
(November 5 "Yangtze Evening News") After Wang Yong's deeds of rescuing people from injuries spread, the local bravery foundation contacted him and awarded him a bonus for righteousness. However, for him because he jumped into a sewage well to save people from injuries,
He did not mention the first aid and hospitalization expenses incurred at the time, and the local Volunteer Foundation was not aware of the situation, let alone the medical expenses incurred after he was discharged from the hospital due to the sequelae of the injury.
However, Wang Yong's relatives and friends felt very sorry for him, believing that he was injured because of his bravery and left physical sequelae. Now he has to pay for hospitalization and medical expenses himself, which is unfair.
This kind of encounter probably violates the principle of fairness and justice, which is what we often call "blood and tears" for brave heroes.
However, we must also see that in this matter, the responsibility of the local bravery foundation or relevant departments is not large. It was all because Wang Yong kept a low profile. After his original rescue story spread, the local bravery foundation
When contacted, he was unwilling to talk more, thinking that he was just doing his duty.
Being low-key is a virtue worth advocating, but speaking of the matter, in this matter, as Wang Yong, who acted bravely for righteousness, his low-keyness may indeed cause some misunderstandings among the people around him, thinking that the hero who acted bravely for righteousness did not get what he deserved.
Treat fairly.
Obviously, this is not conducive to the inheritance and promotion of the spirit of bravery in the whole society.
Therefore, we say that people should indeed be low-key when they should be low-key. However, for positive social events such as bravery for justice, we should speak out loudly when we should speak out, and we should be high-profile when we should be high-profile.
Of course, this does not mean to criticize Wang Yong, but from the perspective of promoting the spirit of courage and promoting positive energy in society, whether it is the person who is courageous or the relatives and friends around him, such advanced deeds can be "reported" to the media.
, or send it to your circle of friends.
As a local volunteer foundation, you need to do your work more carefully and comprehensively.
For example, in addition to listening to the client's own statement, you may also want to understand his basic situation and personal demands through the people around him. After all, many times, the client himself cannot express some difficulties and problems due to his low-key personality and other reasons.
come out.
Low-profile heroes need high-profile relief, especially for heroes who are in trouble because of their courageous actions. The more timely and high-profile the relief, the less misunderstandings and misunderstandings can be made by the public, and the more people can be inspired to inherit and carry forward the spirit of courageous actions.
Dedicate yourself to a cause of righteousness and courage.
After learning about the appeal of the hero Wang Yong, the local Courage for a Righteousness Foundation took it seriously and stated that it would definitely obtain for him the welfare benefits that it could obtain for him within the scope of its responsibilities and in accordance with relevant policies.
We affirm and welcome this.
