Several days ago, I read the news that two Chinese students were shot in BMW in Los Angeles at dawn. I was really shocked and upset. I regret for themselves, friends and relatives. However, when I searched for more details, I lost my temper. So many netizens said that they deserved it, because the two victims must be the second generation of the wealthy or the official in China, since they could go abroad for education and owned a BMW. In addition, they also predicted that they must have gone out for entertainment so that they were outside so late. This mindset is really absurd. I cannot imagine how many people become so cold.
The emotion of objecting to the official and the wealthy is so serious in China. Therefore, media added “BMW” in news to stimulate people, which hurt the relatives of the victims. In fact, both students were very hardworking and frugal and the reason why they drove their second-hand car back to the dorm so late is that they devoted too much time to experiments. I remember our tutor once told us it is common for college students to buy a second-hand car. What they need to do is to do part-time jobs for several months. Due to people’s lack of common sense, the emotion of overseas students is hurt severely, including me.
Some of doctors are not moral so that they try our best to get much more than what they deserve for curing a person; some officers are greedy so that they use power to get more profit for themselves; some rich men are pretentious so that they show off the luxury and villas they own. They should be looked down upon, but it does not mean all of the rich, the wealthy and doctors should be sentenced to death. This phenomenon shows people’s cruelty and coldness. Actually, they just envy that high-ups or successors can enjoy what they own. To be honest, a large number of them also want to be a member of those groups. Having complained so much, I just want to say that life is precious and fragile. Please give respect to life and do not gossip without the fact.
I was angry about this news,too. I can't understand how could these people be so cold about the two victims. It's so sad for me.
ReplyDeleteJieliang, how did you find the information about the students buying the car second-hand and that they had been working in the lab late at night? You are right to question the facts, but when you can say where you read your information it gives you more credibility.
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you how sorry I am that these students' lives were cut short. My sympathies are with you and others like you.
