New Roman"> The saddest stories!
I read two saddest stories in Wangi.
One of them is a story of murder by an old man who is 60 years old. He killed his newborn granddaughter intentionally by throwing her into Qin Huaihe. His granddaughter was only in the world for several days.
His family had been exhilarated at hearing the news of the successful deliverance to the world of his granddaughter. But the exhilaration didn’t last very long, since the baby was diagnosed as abnormal in both her abdomen and stomach. She received an operation soon after her deliverance. She was even proclaimed by the doctors that she wouldn’t live even if she had not been thrown into the river.
Thinking of the great misery the little baby was suffering from and the expense that would soon ensue, the grandfather made the most difficult decision after a refuted discussion with his son. He threw the baby into Qinhuai River at the acquiescence of his son.
He was suited to the court, together with his son for infanticide and will soon be sentenced. His daughter-in-law, the mother of the little baby, cried a lot at court. While he was reporting what was actually happening, he got down on his knees and expressed his great distress when he was taking the action and the great regret that he is feelings.
Though the baby was so small, she was a life. No one should have deprived her of that unless she would loss it naturally. I can understand fully now what is said about “The law is merciless”.
The other is about a ten-year-old boy’s death. The little boy was singling in a hotel for a living. It was said that customers in the box had forced him to drink a lot of wine, which was most probably the cause of his death. When the little boy was found dead, all the people fled, except one that was as drunk as a log. On reading the story I felt greatly outraged at the miserable destiny of the little boy. He was but ten years old. He was still unable to control his fate. What is more, a boy who should be at school to be educated wouldn’t have been singing for a living at the hotel out of his willingness. He must have been forced to do so, just as he had been forced to drink so much wine. All the customers in the box should be sentenced to death for the most atrocious inhuman doings. Their hearts must be as dark as those of wolves”. Not only did they show no mercy for the sad fortune of the little, but they would make fun of him and finally deprived him of little life.
What is wrong with us human beings nowadays? What do we live in the world for?
Personally I think we should live in the world for the happiness of most of the human beings. I am not a saint. But that is what I think we should do as basically a human being. What would happen to the world if every one of us will laugh at the misfortune of others’? And in what way our world would become if we all did things like the rogues in the hotel?
What do you think of the two saddest stories?
