An old man who collects scrapes accidentally tore a young woman's jeans. Due to his inability to pay the 50 yuan compensation demanded, the old man knelt down ten times. The old man only had 8 yuan and 40 cents in his hand.
When the reporter arrived at the door of Higher Education Press on DeWai Street, they found a middle-aged woman in a gray down jacket pushing an old man dressed in rags, shouting: "Hurry up and compensate me!" Dozens of passers-by were watching around.
Beside them stood a woman about 20 years old with a tear on her blue jeans leg, about two or three centimeters long. The pushed old man, with tears in his eyes, kept pleading, holding a bunch of loose change amounting to 8 yuan and 40 cents.
"It's just a small tear, is it necessary to make things so difficult for him?" Watching the old man kneel, the onlookers advised: "Let bygones be bygones." Faced with the accusations of the onlookers, the middle-aged woman paid no attention and insisted that the old man compensate her.
In the face of the "huge" compensation, the old man knelt down. It was understood that when the mother and daughter walked to the intersection near the Higher Education Press, the iron wire on the old man's tricycle scratched the young woman's pants. The mother demanded that the old man compensate her 50 yuan. Helpless, the old man knelt down with a "thud," but the other side showed no reaction. The old man knelt down ten times consecutively.
This angered the onlookers. Mr. Wu, a security guard in a nearby building, angrily said: "How can they treat such an elderly person like this? They are really 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."
Under the old man's unsuccessful plea for reconciliation, the middle-aged woman eventually called 110. Around 5:50 PM, police officers from DeWai Police Station arrived at the scene to mediate, but the middle-aged woman refused the mediation, claiming the compensation was insufficient. At this point, the onlookers spontaneously took out their money, one yuan, two yuan, ten yuan... Eventually, they gathered enough 50 yuan.
The old man knelt down again to the onlookers, repeatedly saying: "Thank you, thank you." After receiving the money, the middle-aged woman silently pulled her daughter away without a word.
The onlookers 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.
