The Lowness of Life

One life = 80,000 yuan

This is something I heard today. It was caused by a trivial matter. Two neighboring families quarreled over the issue of pouring water. The mother-in-law of one family scolded at the door, and after hearing this, the eldest son of the other family ran out and slapped the mother-in-law. The elderly woman fainted on the spot. However, instead of helping her, the man went up and kicked her a few times, then directly turned himself in to the police station. Since then, the situation has taken a dramatic turn. The poor elderly woman passed away like that. And after the man's family paid 80,000 yuan in compensation to the deceased's family, he was somehow released from the police station as if nothing had happened. The whole process took no more than a week.
