Chapter 29: Life and Love

Life and Love Zhang Baotong 2016.3.20

That day, when I rode an electric car from West Street to Taihua North Road, I saw a large number of people surrounding the roadside, almost blocking the spacious half of the road. At first, I thought it was a traffic accident, but traffic accidents usually don't have so many onlookers. When I got to the edge of the crowd, I noticed that all eyes were on the upper floor.

At this moment, I looked up and saw a girl in a crisp white wedding dress sitting on the edge of a seven-story balcony on the sixth floor. Because the balcony has no protective windows, half of the girl's body is exposed outside the balcony, and her two legs are swinging outside the balcony. Not to mention that she can jump from the upstairs as long as she leans forward, even if she is not careful, she will lose her balance and fall.

The girl was about twenty-one or twelve years old, and she seemed to be not bad-looking, and she was tall, dressed in a white wedding dress, and her long hair covered half of her face melancholy. It was the prime of her youth, and her new life had just begun, but why did she choose to jump off the building? But from the fact that she was wearing a white wedding dress, everyone could know that she must have committed suicide because of a setback in love.

The onlookers were shouting at her, "Girl, don't think about it, there is no hurdle in life that you can't pass, and there is no river that you can't cross." "There are also people who are busy calling 110, 119 and 120 on their mobile phones. In order to prevent the girl from suddenly jumping from the upstairs, there are even some middle-aged men standing downstairs, ready to use their bodies and arms to stop her from falling on the concrete floor downstairs.

A girl who had also had this experience persuaded her, "Sister, our lives are not our own, we just don't live for ourselves, we have to live for our parents and relatives." But the girl on the balcony scolded, "You want to live, I don't want to live." ”

After a while, police cars whistled their sirens. Everyone hurriedly got out of the way and let the police in. The police quickly came downstairs, pulled up a protective net, and some people ran upstairs. Immediately afterwards, fire trucks arrived, removed the protective nets of the police, and replaced them with life-saving air cushions brought by the firefighters. When the girl saw that the police car and fire truck were coming, and so many police and firefighters had come, and that protective equipment had been placed downstairs under her, she became even more excited, and kept banging on the wall, shouting desperately in a hoarse voice: "Take it, take it!"

It may be that the police entered the girl's house, heard the girl scream, did not let the police approach, and made it look like she was about to jump down. The policeman was afraid that the girl was going to jump, so he retreated into the house and talked to her from a distance. The girl shouted like crazy, "Go away, go away, don't talk to me." The police were so frightened that they didn't dare to approach her or talk to her again.

An ambulance also arrived, and medical personnel in white coats were standing downstairs carrying stretchers and first aid equipment. A police officer who seemed to be in charge stood in the crowd of onlookers, commanding the police, firefighters and medical personnel.

After about a while, the girl's mother came back, and as soon as she went downstairs, she saw her daughter standing on the balcony and was about to jump down, so she shouted upstairs, "Yan, mother's baby!" and suddenly collapsed on the ground, crying loudly, and shouting loudly to her daughter.

The policeman who was in charge helped the aunt up and asked her about the situation. The aunt said that her daughter and her boyfriend were classmates in college, and the two talked for three or four years, and they lived together for a long time, and their daughters were pregnant and had a baby, and they were supposed to get married at eleven, but, I don't know why, the boy listened to other people's provocations, and suddenly changed his mind.

The police asked for the girl's mother's mobile phone, found the boy's mobile phone number, and started calling the boy. After about twenty minutes, I saw a speeding taxi stop on the side of the road. A young man in a suit and tie got out of the car, ran downstairs, and shouted to the girl sitting on the edge of the balcony, "Yan, you wait for me." Then he ran upstairs as fast as he could.

Soon, we saw the young man on the open balcony. He waved his hands and told the girl excitedly, but the girl didn't listen to him, covered her ears, and shouted desperately, "Get out, get out." Listening to the girl's hoarse shout, everyone's hearts hung in their throats.

But instead of leaving, the boy fell to his knees, crying and begging her. But the girl still refused to forgive him and told him to get out of the way. So, he said, "If you want to die, let's die together." As he spoke, he stretched out his legs and sat on the railing of the balcony, making it look like he was going to jump downstairs. This shocked the onlookers downstairs.

Then the girl jumped from the balcony railing, threw herself at once, and hugged the boy's waist with a dead grip. The police also took the opportunity to rush onto the balcony, grabbed the girl, and took her away from the balcony. This thrilling scene is the end. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a life-and-death decision between life and love. Although the tragedy was prevented at the last moment of crisis. However, how many similar events have not ended so fortunately. In an urban village in the northern suburbs, a girl who went to the city to work jumped from the top of the fourth floor in the middle of the night because she was abandoned by several boys she loved. When jumping off a building, no one knew. Or did the cleaner find it in the morning while cleaning the streets. Later, people saw the suicide note she left behind in her cabin. The general content is that she has become a person who is hated by everyone, and there is no point in living, it is better to die.

There is also a third-year female student in a university in the southern suburbs who has to jump from the sixth floor because she has lost love. At that time, many people came to persuade the school leaders, classmates, mother and aunt, as well as firefighters and medical personnel, but the girl still jumped from the building.

I was deeply puzzled by the several jumping incidents that occurred in a row: what was the influence of these girls to regard love as more important than life? In fact, who we love and who we marry is not predestined. We can love this person, and if this person can't, then we can love another person. So, we don't live specifically to love someone. Our lives belong to our own, and at the same time, to our parents, families, relatives and friends. If we really love someone, we should give him the freedom to choose love and hope that he can live a happy life.

Things in the world are not as good as we think, nor are they as bad as we think. Therefore, when we ask others, we should also examine ourselves. Don't be extreme and think that the situation is hot and cold, and people's hearts are sinister. Because love itself is full of variables. Not to mention unmarried, even married, aren't millions of people getting divorced every year?

Although we often say that "life is precious, love is more valuable". But in reality, love cannot be compared with life. We can have love many times in our lives, but we only have one life. Without love, our lives and lives may not be satisfactory, but without life, our lives will be all over. Of course, what we pursue is the perfect combination of life and love, but if there is a conflict between life and love, and we are faced with a choice, we must not hesitate to choose life. With life, we can also choose other loves.

Life is only once for us. Life is beautiful, life is precious, life is your kinship with your parents and family, and life is the joy of you and your relatives and friends. So, you have to cherish life extraordinarily.
