When I met Wang Yuanchao, it was in an old residential building next to the Affiliated Hospital of Donghua University.

Wang Yuanchao had two sons before, but they both died, and his wife gave birth to this daughter at the age of forty, but the poor family did not have the strength to pity this poor daughter.

Wang Yuanchao lives in the most remote township of Sanhe Town, his family is surrounded by four walls, he himself suffers from bone pain, every time he gets sick, life is better than death, Zhang Ruiming has seen the scars left on his body when he got sick, it is simply shocking, and once the disease occurs, only antibiotics and alcohol can relieve the pain a little, and antibiotics are far more expensive than the liquor in the township, under the cruel torture, Wang Yuanchao developed a bad habit of alcoholism.

His wife was beaten away by him, left this home with nothing, and never came back for a few years, and her life and death are unknown. No one cares about her daughter, relying on Wang Yuanchao's meager salary as a security guard in Nanjiang Group, the father and daughter have survived in the shadow of illness until now.

Recently, Wang Yuanchao's daughter was also found to be suffering from chronic kidney failure, which is the smelly uremia.

It was a small set of partitions separated from the balcony, and it was a messy house, with a few stools erected an old mattress, which was the shelter for Wang Yuanchao and his daughter. Zhang Ruiming carried a carton of milk and put it on the ground, Wang Yuanchao hurriedly poured a glass of water for Zhang Ruiming with an old thermos pot, and pulled the daughter next to him who was lying on the bed playing with an old mobile phone, "Call Uncle Zhang." ”

The girl didn't respond, and continued to indulge in mobile games, Wang Yuanchao smiled awkwardly, "The child is not sensible and can't call people." ”

"It's okay, it's not easy, how can you get this disease. Zhang Ruiming asked.

"I don't know very well, the hospital said it may be caused by toxic kidney disease, I didn't pay much attention to it before, a few days ago I saw that the baby always couldn't eat, and vomited acid water, at first I thought it was her stomach upset, took her to the town to see the clinic, the doctor prescribed medicine for her to eat, or not top, fainted at school, their head teacher forced me to send to Dongjiang City to check, yesterday it was found out that it was this uremia. When Wang Yuanchao said this, his expression was numb and his eyes were cloudy.

Zhang Ruiming is familiar with this look, this is the look on the faces of many seriously ill family members, reminiscent of the old cow to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, not wailing, not resisting, silently waiting for the cruel fate of the file to be cut down.

Generally speaking, toxic nephropathy can be caused by heavy metal pollution, which is not in doubt, but its kidney damage can be acute or chronic, and the kidney damage caused by different heavy metals is different, and the kidney damage caused by cadmium pollution is related to individual quality, heavy metal concentration and length of exposure, while toxic nephropathy caused by cadmium pollution should be chronic.

"The doctor said it was chronic, and if it was acute, it would not be possible to save it if it came back yesterday."

"Well, if it is chronic, it should be related to the environmental pollution problem in Sanhe Town, but ......" Zhang Ruiming pondered, now only based on the diagnosis certificate of the hospital, it is not completely certain that Wang Yuanchao's daughter's condition is related to the environmental pollution case of Nanjiang Group, and if you really want to file a lawsuit, you will have to do an inspection and identification.

"You said today that you want me to save your daughter, how do you want me to save it?"

"Zhang Jian, I want to sue Nanjiang Group, you help me sue, I beg you, don't let them take the money out, my daughter won't last long." ”

"Lao Wang, I understand what you mean, you want to find Nanjiang Group to be responsible for this case, right? But now the situation is very complicated, although Li Jin has arrived at the case, but his assets have basically been cheated away by other people, even if you file a civil lawsuit and win the lawsuit, there is not much money to enforce, and he is now in debt, and you don't know when it will be your turn to go bankrupt and auction. ”

"Zhang Jian, do you mean that even if I win him, I won't be able to get my daughter's medical expenses?!" Wang Yuanchao nervously grabbed Zhang Ruiming's arm, all his hopes were pinned on being able to get the medical expenses from Nanjiang Group, Zhang Ruiming told him the cruel legal facts at this time, and Wang Yuanchao couldn't accept it at all.

"It is likely that this is the case, because now Nanjiang Group does not have much enforceable property, and the situation involved is very complicated, with bank mortgaged property, employee salaries, public welfare claims, bankruptcy expenses, etc., all kinds of expenses are queuing. In the current situation, it is difficult to achieve your demands. ”

"How can this be?" Wang Yuanchao collapsed on the mattress when he heard this.

"My daughter is only 8 years old! Why is she so miserable! I'll take her with me, and my father and wife might as well die. Wang Yuanchao lay on the bed and cried.

Hearing her father's wailing, the girl also put down her mobile phone and looked out the window blankly and wept.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Ruiming felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, he thought about it, comforted Wang Yuanchao and said: "There is still a way, you have to do two important things here, the first thing is that you go to the court to file a civil lawsuit, and first sue Nanjiang Group for personal injury caused by environmental pollution." The second thing is to report to the local party committee, tell you about your difficult situation, and strive to get help from the party committee, and I will also help you contact the local government. And the most important thing is to wait for news from my side, I will find a way to find out Li Jin's hidden assets, so that the court can seize them as soon as possible, so that you will have room for enforcement later. Do you understand?"

Zhang Ruiming's words rekindled Wang Yuanchao's hope, and he finally had a hint of brightness in his eyes, "I understand, I quickly picked up the notes." ”

Seeing Wang Yuanchao's twisted and deformed hands like chicken feet, Zhang Ruiming couldn't bear it, took the pen and paper in his hand, and helped him remember the matters.

Bone pain plus uremia, such obviously cadmium-contaminated families in Sanhe Town I don't know how many, Zhang Ruiming thought of a pain in his heart, in order to divert his attention, touched Wang Yuanchao's daughter's little head and asked: "By the way, you are 8 years old this year?

When the girl was affected by the poison, she also had symptoms of indifference mentally, she looked at Zhang Ruiming blankly and didn't speak, and Wang Yuanchao wiped her tears next to her, and said: "That's right, my baby's name is Wang Xuan, who just turned 8 years old a few days ago, and is also a tiger." ”

Hearing the same word "Xuan", and even the birthday was only a few days away, Zhang Ruiming's heart was hot, thinking of his daughter Xuanxuan, he took out a small box from his bag and handed it to Wang Yuanchao's daughter Li Xuan.

"Did you have a birthday a few days ago, is it okay for your uncle to give you a little tiger?" Seeing that the girl didn't react, Zhang Ruiming took the initiative to take out the little jade tiger that was supposed to be given to Xuanxuan from the gift box, and put it on for Wang Yuanchao's daughter.

Wang Yuanchao looked at it, quickly stopped Zhang Ruiming's hand, and said: "Zhang Jian, my family is poor, I don't thank you much, how can I still let you send things to my baby!"

Zhang Ruiming pressed down Lao Wang's hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just treat it like your own daughter, don't let the baby be so old and haven't had a good birthday." ”

Seeing Zhang Ruiming's insistence, Wang Yuanchao didn't say anything, and asked Wang Xuan to thank Zhang Ruiming.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Xuan, who had been in a trance, took Xiaoyu Tiger with him, he gradually had a look on his face, and gently replied to Zhang Ruiming, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Zhang Ruiming's heart trembled, he knew that this little girl might not have received a birthday gift since she was a child, and no one cared about her birthday, so he could be regarded as doing a good thing at this time.

A pain in his heart, Zhang Ruiming got up and prepared to say goodbye, Wang Yuanchao sent all the way downstairs, on the way Zhang Ruiming asked about the Nanjiang Group lawyer Tang Zuo, sure enough, Wang Yuanchao's status is low, he doesn't know what at all, on the day of the trouble, he followed a few old security guards before, I heard that there was money to be made, in order to pay a few hundred yuan, put on the uniform of Nanjiang Group and went to the gate of the city government to assemble at the specified time, how Tang Zuo organized and incited, he didn't understand, and he couldn't contact the high-level.

Zhang Ruiming didn't say anything after hearing this, and waved his hand to let Wang Yuanchao go back. He strolled out of the community, today's trip to see Wang Yuanchao, let him make waves in his heart again, he could have pretended not to know, continued his vacation, happily returned to his home in Jingang, spent a happy weekend with his daughter, came back to do his duty, as long as he did a good job of criminal and civil public interest litigation, now the materials have been prepared very sufficiently, and then the trial will be won, and the enforcement is completely the court's business, the Supreme People's Court has not kept saying that it is necessary to solve the problem of difficult enforcement in the past few years, and then let Wang Yuanchao go to the court for them, and whether Li Jin has the money to enforce it is not his own business。

Zhang Ruiming walked slowly all the way, he thought a lot, in the morning he could not have answered Wang Yuanchao's call, pretending not to see, not know how many families in this world are still struggling in hell, and how many innocent people died in the "tragedy of the commons".

No, there are no innocents in the "tragedy of the commons".

The term "tragedy of the commons" comes from a paper published in the journal Science in 1999 by British scholar Harding entitled "The Tragedy of the Commons". In this paper, Harding has tried to illustrate the story of a group of herders grazing together in a communal pasture. Although everyone knows that there are already too many sheep in the pasture, every herder wants to raise one more sheep to increase his personal income, and then increase the number of sheep to make himself more profitable, and the cost of grassland degradation is borne by everyone. And when every herder thinks this way, the "tragedy of the commons" unfolds – the pastures continue to degrade until they become unable to raise sheep, and eventually all herders go bankrupt.

The conclusion of this story is that since everyone has the natural instinct to expand their living space and resources outward, everyone will consciously or unconsciously extract public resources for their own use when the public interest is unmanaged. As a result, the public interest is the most vulnerable in an unprotected state.

Nowadays, this grassland is the Dongjiang River, Jingang and even the whole country. And large enterprises and strong units such as Nanjiang Group and Jingang No. 4 Middle School are herdsmen. When an individual's self-interest meets an unprotected public interest, no one can restrain the encroachment of private interests on the public interest.

This is determined by the selfishness of man as an individual, which is the instinct of man as an animal.
