CCTV News:Recently, a girl jumped off a building in Qingyang City, Gansu Province, which attracted people’s attention. Although the crowd of onlookers has already dispersed and the clamor has gradually receded, it still leaves us with many problems to reflect on. Why did a tragedy that could have been prevented happen? What role did the onlookers play in this tragedy? Are the people on the scene really as cold and malicious as circulated on the Internet?
This is the square in front of a department store in Xifeng District, Qingyang City, Gansu Province. At 3 pm on June 20, 2018, everything was as usual, and the traffic was bustling. However, forty minutes later, many people gathered here because of one thing. Among them is Liu Bo, a policeman from the police station in the jurisdiction.
The Nanjie Police Station of Xifeng Branch of Qingyang City handled the case and detected Liu Bo, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron:Because the situation was urgent, we rushed to the scene first.
Almost at the same time, after seeing a photo in a circle of friends, the girl Yiyi’s father immediately got on an electric car and rushed to the square urgently. Rushing to the square are firefighters who have received the task and countless onlookers. The girl Yiyi’s father was even blocked at the intersection.
Witnesses:At first, there weren’t many people. Slowly, passers-by saw it, and then they gathered more and more. In the end, there were people on both sides.
The onlookers at the scene gathered their eyes on a platform on the eighth floor. The reason why everyone is gathered here is precisely because, at the moment, a young girl is walking in that narrow space with emotion.
Qingyang City Public Security Bureau Xifeng Branch Nanjie Police Station handled the case and detected Liu Bo, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron:Standing on it, I was particularly excited, and from time to time, I kicked down some small stones on the outer edge with my feet.
This girl is Yiyi. She is 19 years old and works as a shopping guide in a nearby shopping mall. According to Yiyi’s father’s memory, Yiyi said that she was going to work after eating at home at noon, but now she is here.
From the ground to the eighth floor, the height of 35 meters and the distance between life and death affect many people’s hearts. Police officer Liu Bo and several colleagues rushed to the eighth floor for the first time.
Qingyang City Public Security Bureau Xifeng Branch Nanjie Police Station handled the case and detected Liu Bo, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron:I was the first to contact her, and then her resistance was very strong. She kept saying, I don’t trust anyone, and everyone is a liar.
After the appeasement and persuasion of Liu Bo and other rescuers, Yiyi’s mood calmed down a little. However, an hour later, at 16: 44, Yiyi sent a farewell message in her circle of friends. It’s all over. At seven o’clock in the evening, Yiyi’s father was still sitting in a room not far from her, anxiously waiting for the rescue.
Yiyi father:As a result, I waited and waited. I don’t know who shouted and fell, so I was fooled.
Xu Jiwei, squadron leader of Xifeng District Squadron of Qingyang City Public Security Fire Brigade, once saved Yiyi, a girl who wanted to commit suicide in 2017. When she finally grabbed Yiyi’s hand, she thought that she would save Yiyi like last time, but Yiyi released her hand.
