Recently, an event about students studying abroad has been widely concerned and commented online. Jiang Ge, a Chinese female student had been stabbed to death one year ago by former boyfriend of her roomate when studying abroad in Japan.
Jiang Ge came from a single parent family in eastern China’s Shandong Province. She was brought up by her mother and lived together with her grandma. She was very kind to accept her friend Liu Xin’s request to live with her after Liu Xin broke up with her ex-boyfriend in Japan. Since their breaking up, Liu was continuously harrassed by her ex-boyfriend when she had already lived together with Jiang. One day when Liu xin was off work, she was scared of being tailed by her own ex-boyfriend, she phoned Jiang Ge to get out to wait for her and went home together. Unfortunately, 18 minutes after communicating with her mother through mobile phone, Jiang Ge was stabbed to death by Liu’s ex-boyfriend when she confronted alone with the murderer alone, letting Liu to stay in the room.
What made Jiang Ge’s mother cold and helpless was that Liu Xin just disappeared for a long time and didn’t took part in Jiang Ge’s funeral after her own survival.
Being desperate for suffering from the pain of losing so beloved daughter, Jiang Ge’s mother depended on drugs to control her emotion of sadness for a long time. In order to find out the murderer, Jiang Ge’s mother had been to Japan and wanted to meet her daughter’s roomate — Liu Xin, before her death, but she didn’t appear. Finnally Jiang’s mother seeked help by sending message online in a reasonable way and this event has aroused great concern from all fields in society.
Liu Xin did survive from the accident but she didn’t show any regret and mercy or appreciation to Jiang Ge, who had died because of her. Moreover, her family members behaved in a similar way as her when Jiang’s mother tried to connect with them to chase for reasons behind.
The accident is all about education. Jiang was so kind that she was not very clear about her own situation and people around her. But her mother lost her forever while her so called friend, Liu Xin just survived without showing any mercy, regret or even appreciation for Jiang and Jiang’s mother.
The first time I saw Jiang’s mother’s tears and pain in her chest, I recalled my own study time abroad and my mother’s worries and love for a long time. Comfort can be gained from outside, but the lost daught will never be back.
What can we learn from this accident? What if you’re Jiang Ge’s mother or another beloved family member?
