Self-esteem trampled by fifty yuan

An old man who collected scrapes accidentally scratched a young woman's jeans with refrigerant. Because he could not pay the 50 yuan compensation requested by the other party, the old man knelt down ten times. The old man only had 8 yuan and 4 mao in his hand. When the reporter arrived at the door of the Higher Education Press on De外Street, he found that a middle-aged woman wearing a gray down jacket was shoving an old man dressed in rags, shouting: "Hurry up and pay the money!" Hundreds of passers-by were watching around. Next to them stood a woman about 20 years old, with a two or three centimeter long tear on her blue jeans. The old man, being pushed, was pleading with tears, holding a pile of coins, totaling 8 yuan and 4 fen. "It's just a small tear, is it necessary to make things so difficult for others." Watching the old man kneel down, the onlookers all persuaded the woman to let it go. Facing the criticism from the onlookers, the middle-aged woman did not care at all, and insisted that the old man pay the money. Facing the "huge" compensation, the old man knelt down. It is understood that when the mother and daughter walked to the intersection near the Higher Education Press, the old man happened to be turning the corner on his tricycle, and the iron wire on the cart scratched the young woman's pants. The woman's mother demanded that the old man compensate her 50 yuan. Helplessly, the old man fell to his knees with a "thud", but the other side did not react at all, and the old man knelt down ten times continuously. This angered the onlookers. Mr. Wu, who worked as a security guard in a nearby building, angrily said: "To treat such an elderly person this way, they are really too overbearing." After saying that, he stuffed 23 yuan from his pocket into the old man's hand. When the reporter tried to interview the mother and daughter, the middle-aged woman said: "Don't bother with her." In the case where the old man's plea for reconciliation failed, the middle-aged woman eventually called 110. Around 5:50 PM, the police from the De外Police Station arrived at the scene to mediate, but the middle-aged woman refused to reconcile because she thought the compensation was not enough. At this time, the onlookers spontaneously took out their money, one yuan, two yuan, ten yuan... Finally, they gathered 50 yuan. The old man knelt down again to the onlookers and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you." After receiving the money, the middle-aged woman pulled her daughter away without a word. The onlookers who were present all expressed that the result of compensating 50 yuan was unfair to the old man. The police also expressed helplessness, stating that this was a civil dispute, and they could only act as mediators. Why do we have to trample on the dignity of others? Refrigerant! Hurry up, everyone who has seen this, please forward it. All forums and blogs! Please forward it all. I can't believe that public opinion won't fix this! Let more people pay attention to this matter! Thank you! (Forwarded from a group, if you have any humanity, please forward...) I will also forward.
