A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 243 Cultural Pioneer! Forerunner of Liberating Thoughts! If I had never seen the light, I would not be afraid of the darkness!
Emancipating the mind is actually a very scary thing.

If a person has been in darkness since birth and has never seen the sun, then he naturally will not have any expectations for light.

But if he was in darkness, he would see the fleeting light one night while working.

Then it will have an extremely strong yearning for this light that suddenly appears and disappears in an instant.

What's on the other side of the mountain?
What's on the other side of the wall?
What is hidden on the other side of the sea?
"Hope" has never been a book that describes suffering for the sake of suffering. It is using Nayoung's sexual assault case to convey an idea to the Korean citizens who are in the dark.

All men are created equal.

There shouldn't be anyone superior to others in this world.

If a bad person does something that hurts others, he should be punished by law.

Whether it is the upper class or the common class, although there are differences in financial resources, in terms of personality, everyone belongs to the same class.
Cheong Wa Dae, in front of the presidential palace.

Citizens from all walks of life gathered in front of the Presidential Palace, holding various signs in their hands and expressing their protests:
"Please tell our children that if a stranger asks them for help, they should just run away. Adults can't handle the situation themselves, so how can you, a child, help? It's not that your mother taught you not to sympathize with others, but there are too many bad people in this world."

"The law should be a shield to protect us and a weapon to punish evil, rather than a tool to protect bad guys."

"Children have lost their natural simplicity and innocence and have become selfish and indifferent? So this is the ending you want to see?"

"When society cannot protect children, our education will become self-contradictory. Our education will face a dilemma between "helping others" and "standing idly by". Do you really want to see children become selfish and indifferent when they grow up?"

“I will never allow such a situation.”

If an old man falls to the ground, should you help him up?

Education tells us: "It is human nature to help others. Giving roses to others will leave a sweet fragrance on your hands. If you help others, they will be grateful to you."

But realistic.
Is this really the case?

Our education does not allow for throwing tantrums and playing tricks. In the public's perception, this is a very rogue behavior.

When encountering problems, you should not throw a tantrum or act like a spoiled brat, but should convince others with reason.

It can convince people if it is really useful.
How is it possible that a highly educated female Mercedes-Benz driver, whose rights have been violated, would sit on the hood of the car like a shrew and demand justice after trying every means to get an explanation to no avail?
First, a book called "The Crucible" exposed a child abuse incident in an orphanage that shocked the entire country of South Korea, breaking the Korean citizens' beautiful impression of the "loving orphanage."

Another book, "Hope," involved a shocking case of humiliation of a girl named Nayoung, which made the citizens feel extremely distressed after learning the truth.

It is because of the good education.

So when we first learned about this tragedy, the protests were relatively peaceful.

Although many people gathered in front of the Blue House, no one did anything radical. They just protested peacefully:

"Please severely punish the murderer!"

"Please give justice to the victims."

While protesting offline at the Presidential Palace.

On the Blue House petition website, a series of numbers appeared: 12 years, 20, 50, 60, 80.
12 years is the sentence of criminal Cho Doo-soon.

12 years is also a girl’s youth and childhood.

20 was the number of South Koreans who petitioned the Blue House. Later, the number became 50, 60, and 80.
Despite this, 80 South Korean citizens jointly petitioned the Blue House online, demanding that Cho Doo-soon's sentence be commuted to life imprisonment.

Although the number of citizens who went offline to protest in front of the Blue House exceeded tens of thousands, it even caused traffic congestion at one point.

But even so, from beginning to end
No one has received any statement from the government?
But even so, from beginning to end
Didn't anyone even hear a single word from President Lee Kyung Min?

"What do you mean?"

“Are you ignoring us?”

The demonstrations lasted for a whole week, during which more than hundreds of thousands of citizens wanted a clear statement from the government:
"Can this Cho Doo-soon be sentenced to life imprisonment?"

However, no matter how we demonstrate, no matter how we protest, we always get the same answer:
"We have received your request."

"We understand your feelings."

"But I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do about this matter."

How busy can one person be to allow tens of thousands of people to stand in front of the presidential palace to protest for more than a week?
No sign of him showing up?
How busy does a person have to be to allow this tragic case of abuse, which has attracted the attention of millions of people, to be discussed for more than a week.
Still haven’t received a decent response?

Is he really so busy that he doesn't even have time to give an explanation?
No.

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

President Lee Kyung-min is not really short of time. His attitude towards solving this matter is
He wanted to handle it coldly.

"So, this is ignoring us?"

"The chairman of Samsung can show up at his residence in Myeongdong late at night. For us citizens, we don't even have time to see him."

"So the opinions of our people are not opinions? So the lives of our citizens are not lives?"

When reason doesn't make sense, there is only one way left.
That’s it!

When I'm talking to you reasonably, you act like a hooligan to me.

Then when I can't help but act rudely towards you, don't blame me for being unreasonable.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

When any uprising breaks out, it must have a legitimate reason.

The protesters, who had completely lost their patience and were furious, immediately quoted a line from Jiang Hai's book "Hope" as a mobilization slogan:
"The girl's skirt is innocent. The one who is guilty is the devil who covets the skirt!"

Thoughts are liberated. Let me once again quote the classic quote from The Crucible:

"We fight all the way, not to change the world, but to not be changed by the world!"

In an instant, the angry citizens lost their minds and rushed directly into the Blue House residence.

"kill!"

"Kill him till the sky is dark and the earth is dark!"

"Kill him with blood and gore!"

In fact, demonstrations and marches are very common in South Korea.

Workers are laid off and their pensions are not guaranteed?

Protest demonstrations.

The stock market plummeted, and the chaebols bought at the bottom and drained the citizens' savings?

Demonstrations.

The company went bankrupt and the laid-off employees had nowhere to go?
Continue to protest.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, South Korea is the country in the world where demonstrations are most common.

On average, there are 125 demonstrations every year, which means that there is a public demonstration every three days. This situation is very common.

It is also because I am used to seeing strong storms.

This is why every time a protest breaks out, the government usually handles such cases in the following way:
Cold treatment.

That's right, cold treatment.

"You can protest as much as you want. As long as I don't show up and confront you face to face, I can just hold out for this period of time until the three-minute heat is over."

"Then this matter is over, isn't it?"

For government departments.

This approach saves time and worry.

I thought this would be just an ordinary public demonstration like usual, but who would have thought
They are actually serious about it???
In the Blue House, in the office. President Lee Kyung-min looked at the security guard in front of him in disbelief. His eyes were full of surprise, and he spoke very quickly:

"How did they get in?"

"What do you guys in the security team do? What nonsense is this?"

The burly captain of the security team was panting and looked extremely frightened:
"President, there are too many people."

Seoul is the capital of South Korea. There are usually about 500 guards stationed near the Blue House.

This number of guards is enough to ensure the president's safety, but
That was in the past.

"President, according to the on-site survey, there are about 3,000 illegal residents who have entered the Blue House." The captain of the security team looked at Li Qingmin nervously, "Look, do we need to fire a warning shot? If we want to fire a shot in the palace, we need your approval."

Logically speaking, any illegal resident who breaks into the Blue House should be protected for the personal safety of the president.

The security forces have the right to shoot illegal intruders directly.

But
If there are only 10 or 20 people, it would be fine. But if anyone dares to do this, they will be shot on the spot for endangering national security. There is no doubt about that.

But that’s three thousand people!
A full three thousand people!
"These people are all unarmed civilians. If they open fire, the situation will get out of control."

"If someone else dies in this situation, I'm afraid..."

Without waiting for the security captain to finish his words.

President Lee Kyung-min immediately demonstrated his politician's qualities and gave instructions to the security team:
"Can't shoot!"

"You must not shoot!"

Guns are used to intimidate and destroy the enemy.

Use guns on your own people, these unarmed civilians?

Then impurity becomes white terror?
Armed suppression of citizens is something that has never been heard of or seen in the entire history of South Korea!

Shooting at civilians is a big taboo for politicians!
Once the shooting begins, he, as president, will instantly lose the support of the people at home.
This is something Li Qingmin would never allow to be seen!

"I don't care what method you security forces use, please calm these citizens down, and you must not shoot."

Things haven't reached the point where they cannot be reversed.

If you fire a gun, your opponent will seize the opportunity and use it to magnify the situation.
"But." A streak of cold sweat ran down the captain's forehead, and he looked a little nervous. "If we don't fire a warning shot, we won't be able to control the situation at the scene. The situation at the scene is really complicated."

Before the captain of the security team could finish his words, Li Qingmin immediately warned him solemnly:

"I don't care what method you use, ten minutes!"

"Please give me ten minutes!"

"Please remember my order and do not shoot. You must prevent the situation from escalating further."

There are many people participating in the protests, coming from all walks of life.

There are students.

There are workers.

There are vendors setting up stalls.

There are white-collar workers working in companies.

Etc., etc
These people may not know whether their struggle is meaningful, or whether their struggle can ultimately lead to victory.

However, they always kept in mind the ideas that Jiang Hai spread in the book:

"We fight all the way, not to change the world, but to not be changed by the world!"

"If I stand by and watch with indifference today, when disaster strikes me in the future, no one will cheer for me."

"We just want justice!"

In front of the crowd, there was a skinny, slightly old middle-aged man with tears streaming down his face, bowing repeatedly to the excited people:

"Thank you, thank you everyone. On behalf of our Naying, I would like to thank you all for your help!"

"Our whole family will never forget your kindness."

Help Park Junzhi who was out of control of his emotions.

The angry students immediately became the vanguard, holding various banners and posters, and shouted angrily at the armed security personnel:
"When will Li Qingmin come out?"

"If he doesn't come out, we're going to break in!"

"No matter what, we must get an explanation today."

For a moment, the security team didn't know how to answer.

Just when the situation was deteriorating again and was about to get completely out of control.

Cheong Wa Dae, in front of the office building.

President Li Qingming was seen walking out of the office building with a white cloth on his head and a solemn and heavy look on his face.

A qualified politician must not only have a clear mind, but also be able to handle crisis public relations at all times.

The situation on the scene is so chaotic, what do you want to see?
It’s just an attitude, an attitude for dealing with things!

Since everyone wants to see an attitude of solving the problem, then things will be much easier to handle.

In full view.

Without any hesitation or delay.

President Li Qingming wore a white cloth on his head, started from zero frame, and knelt down in public in front of all the protesting citizens:

"I have failed the trust of the citizens. I am a sinner."

After saying this, he didn't give anyone any time to react.

President Li Qingming knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the huge crowd:
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The president actually knelt down to ordinary citizens and kowtowed in public?
Li Qingming's series of actions caused the originally noisy situation to suddenly fall into silence.

The situation is temporarily under control.

There was no pause.

Li Qingming burst into tears and started his performance right away:
"In fact, I have heard about this matter all along."

“We have been working hard.”

Chenghai City.

The evening after the rally.

Yan Ruyu, Song Shiqing and Yu Qingya, who are known as the leaders of the younger generation in Chinese literary circles, are walking side by side with Jiang Hai.

In the bustling downtown, there is a roadside stall near the street.

Song Shiqing held his phone and stared at the news flash on his phone in disbelief:

"How can you kneel down?"
