An old man who collects scraps accidentally scratched a young woman's jeans with refrigerant. Since he couldn't pay the 50 yuan compensation she demanded, he 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 that a middle-aged woman in a gray down jacket was pushing an old man dressed in rags, shouting: "Hurry up and pay the money!" Dozens of passersby were watching.
Beside them stood a woman around 20 years old with a blue jean leg torn open at the seam by two or three centimeters. The pushed old man, tears welling up in his eyes, kept pleading, holding a pile of change amounting to 8 yuan and 4 fen.
"It's just a small tear, is it necessary to be so difficult?" Watching the old man kneel down, onlookers urged forgiveness. Facing the accusations from the crowd, the middle-aged woman paid no attention and insisted that the old man pay the money.
Facing the "enormous" 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 while turning the corner. The woman's mother demanded 50 yuan from the old man. Helpless, the old man fell to his knees with a "thud," but the other side showed no reaction, leading him to kneel down ten times continuously.
This angered the onlookers. Mr. Wu, a security guard in a nearby building, angrily said: "Treating such an elderly person, they are really overstepping." After saying this, 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 mind her."
Under the circumstances where the old man's plea for reconciliation failed, the middle-aged woman eventually called 110 to report the incident. Around 5:50 PM, police officers from the DeWai police station arrived at the scene to mediate, but the middle-aged woman thought the compensation was insufficient and refused to reconcile. At this time, the onlookers spontaneously took out their money, one yuan, two yuan, ten yuan... Finally, they collected 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 took her daughter and left without a word.
At the time, the onlookers all expressed that the outcome 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.
