In ten years, a "liar" who was once questioned and reviled on the entire Internet has now become a highly sought-after and praised "young hero" and "contemporary counselor". What changes in have prompted public opinion? A 180-degree reversal? It also raises a thought-provoking question: Is it right or wrong to use a scam to save people?
In 2011, in order to help a mother raise money for the treatment of her daughter who had eye cancer, Shi Jinquan personally planned the "kneel down to save the daughter" incident. He used deceptive methods to successfully arouse public outrage and create public opinion. .
The photo of a mother kneeling while holding her daughter appeared on the front page of major newspapers. Through this planning and hype, the mother successfully received sympathy and help from many people, and raised 280,000 yuan.
But it didn’t take long for the truth of the matter to be exposed. The identity of the planner Shi Jinquan was exposed. was instantly accused and denounced by the entire Internet, thinking that he was a complete liar. took advantage of the public’s kindness to deceive society. , hurt the mother, and indirectly hurt the kind people who helped the mother and daughter.
Twelve years later, this matter was revealed again. Shi Jinquan, who was reviled by the entire Internet at that time, was treated completely differently. Netizens expressed their appreciation for his actions, and some netizens commented Li said, "He is a contemporary counselor who intervenes with his own life to save others. This is a kind person."
Some also said, "But don't ask about the method when doing good deeds. This method is the best method, which is better than some people who can only talk about it but not do it." Some netizens thought that "This method is right, but the wrong thing is that it was done at the time." No one understands it."
The same thing has received two completely different evaluations at different times. The reason why public opinion has such a big reversal is because today's society has become more tolerant and people view things differently. The angle is also different. At that time, the social environment was relatively simple and the speed of information circulation was still very slow. Most people still couldn't accept the use of public sympathy to hype things that attract attention.
Over the past ten years, the rapid development of science and technology has pushed the public into the traffic era. More and more people have become popular by creating characters, making up stories, and other various methods, whether they are famous for good things or bad things. , as long as it can achieve the goal of becoming popular, there are many examples of quickly grabbing a share of the network traffic. People have seen it more often, and naturally they are not so sensitive to this series of planning and marketing such as false personas, scheming, and stories. and disgusted, the public’s acceptance and tolerance have improved a lot.
Then let’s look at the “kneel down to save the girl” incident planned by Shi Jinquan from this perspective. He did not seek to gain attention for himself like some Internet celebrities today, just appeared. Yu Shanxin wanted to help the mother and the sick child, so his starting point was good, and he was also kind and just. He was completely different from those scammers who used fraud to get money.
Secondly, not only did he not make any money from this whole thing, he also suffered a lot of infamy and notoriety. It can be said that he even lost his reputation in order to save a child who had nothing to do with him. After the incident, he also changed his name to "Shi Jinshui". Some netizens thought that the reason why he changed "Spring" to "Shui" was because his innocence was gone at that time, so this matter is still popular with many people now. It seems that he is also sacrificing himself for others.
I have to say that Shi Jinquan is indeed very smart. He made a thorough analysis of society, human nature and popular psychology more than ten years ago, and he knows how to quickly help the mother and daughter. But there are indeed problems in the whole process. Some deceptions make those kind-hearted people who lend a helping hand feel a little uncomfortable if their kindness is not treated sincerely.
Fortunately, the outcome of this incident was good, and the child received treatment successfully. Now the child is probably in junior high school.Although lies can save people, it is still not encouraged to use this method to save people, because lies will inevitably hurt some people after being exposed, and may also cause more people to follow this approach, and the snowball of lies will snowball. The bigger it gets, the more likely it will become uncontrollable at some point in the future.
Because there are many people who may use this method to seek benefits for themselves instead of actually saving people. After everyone has been deceived by lies again and again, they will be suspicious when they hear such things again. Attitude, who will really lend a helping hand to those in need without hesitation, and those who really need help may find it difficult to see hope and light again.
Shi Jinquan became famous again after more than ten years, which also brought him back to the public. In the interview, he also said that he did not regret saving people, but he still regretted the improper method used. This was probably because he realized afterwards that not every decision he made in this matter was right, and he had indeed neglected and hurt the people who provided help.
With the progress of today's times and society, there will definitely be better ways to provide help to those in need, and they can also get help more decently. Just like Shi Jinquan, he is still doing his best to help some people. For those who need help, no longer relies on lies, but on sincerity. This is the best way for those who need help and other people who help, and what it brings to society is positive and positive. energy. Shi Jinquan, the mastermind of the #"kneel down to save a girl" scam, has become famous#
