Notice the body dragged in water with one hand tied to the boat.
That body was one of two first year college students of the Yangtze University who sacrificed their own lives to save to kids fallen to the river. The local 'rescue and recover' company recovered the body, then bound them on the side of the boat waiting for a cash payment.
The time: Oct 24, 2009
The place: Jingzhou, Hubei Province
The white head: Mr. Chen Bo, CEO of the 'Yangtze Salvage Limited Inc.'
The company: Yangtze Salvage Limited Inc. was founded by a Wuhan businessman Mr. Chenbo in 2004. With help from local communist party, the company enjoys a market monopoly on the segment of Yangtze River along Jingzhou of Hubei Province. The place where the two kids drown took hundreds of lives each year.
It used to be a slow and shallow beach, but a big drop was dug a few years ago, which could not bee seen from the surface because of murky water. The picture was taken from the bank. Further into the river, the water is as high as barely covering one's feet. The two person in swimming trucks helped save six other students.
The rule is simple. Rule No. 1: no one shall rescue a drowning person out of the river in that segment. If a fisherman saves a person, he will be beat on his way home that night, and find his boat burned next morning. Rule No. 2: no one shall recover a body from the river in that segment, except the Company. National media who rushed to the scene reported that while several government agencies were called to the scene, including the Yangtze Maritime Affairs and paramilitary Fire Department, all refused to take action. Local police told the students to negotiate with the Company.
The Company charges a flat fee of 12,000 RMB Yuan ($2,000) per body in daytime and 18,000 RMB Yuan ($3,000) after sunset. 200 RMB Yuan goes to the fishing boat hired to conduct the work, while the rest goes directly to the Company.
Despite a national outrage, local police refused to investigate. The police chief told the reporters the incident showed lack of applicable laws and urge the national congress to make more laws. Two days later, the central government in Beijing ordered all national media to level the area, and prohibited further reporting on the case.
The bodies would stay in the river for another 4 hours after the picture was taken, before the students, professors and college administrators were able to collect the ransom in cash.
一条船上的人
from 韩寒 by 韩寒
今天在网络上看见了一张照片,因为照片是由上自下慢慢显示,所以在很长时间里都看见了一个老头气势滂沱站在船上,指点江山,后面跟着一个人,随从打点。这不就是我们领导考察的架势吗?等显示完整才看见船底下拖拽的尸体。
事情回到了湖北荆州的大学生救人事件。这个事情包括见人不久捞尸要钱的事情想必大家都已经非常了解。从这张照片里,我们可以解读出什么呢?
第一,根据报导,船主陈波垄断了荆州段的尸体打捞业务,其他打捞船过来便会受到威胁。所有的经验告诉我们,在中国,垄断行业只有两个可能,政府行为或者政府参与。当然,政府不会设立捞尸部,所以,陈波之所以能再当地垄断,和当地政府之间很有可能是有关系的。另外,更具照片的分析,陈波的举手投足以及后面随从人员的相貌形态,都颇有政府处级以上领导从业经验的风采。而且陈波一口咬定,捞尸费一定是12000元,少一分钱都不干,而且见钱才给人。如果是正常做生意,假设是你,捞三具尸体,36000元,你至少能够抹去零头吧,这是人之常情,况且遇见这样悲惨的事件,而且还是在英勇救人的情况下,任何人都会动容。我认为,陈波之所以一分不让,可能这12000元中,有相当的一部分是打点给他的后台的,如果你只收了5000元,很可能他还要倒贴。而之所以要看见钱才给人,表示他非常害怕别人不给钱。有三个尸体打捞上来,其中有一个真的不给钱,常人的反应都是继续要钱,实在要不到也没有办法,因为至少赚了 24000。但是陈波宁愿被人当模特狂拍照还不给尸体,除了此人道德品行恶劣以外,还可能是支持他垄断经营的后台知道打捞起的人数,按照人数收取打点费用,所以必须要收到这笔钱。
当然,我只是在猜测,我没有证据。大的大贪,小的小贪,官商公贪,不就这点鸟事吗。
还有一个可能性就是,这其实就是一家政府背景的企业,“荆州市长江水上打捞有限公司”,写的很清楚了,荆州市长。当然,这个也可以向荆州的吴局长了解一下。说不定大家都有股份。只有政府背景的公司才能又垄断又黑。
第二,这张照片中,陈波一伙人很明显犯下虐尸罪,敲诈勒索罪,故意或者过失杀人罪。因为首先,没有人可以证明被捞起来的必然是尸体,因为他尚未开具死亡证明,而且距离事发当时并没有超过一个理论上没有生还可能的时间,也许这个人没有死或者还有抢救的可能。你可以说我狡辩,我不需要证明他还活着,但你必须要有证据证明他已经死了。在对方生死不明的情况下,陈波等人阻止了对溺水者进行抢救的行为,已经形成了杀人罪。
第三,当地的公安,救护,消防部门完全有理由和能力对陈波进行强制性的行为,让陈波交还溺水者或者进行施救。连城管都能对商户下命令,何况公安呢,而当地的相关部门在事发现场的不作为,证明了他们和陈波之间非比寻常的关系。很有可能他们是一条船上的人,所以他们不能上一条船。
第四,这些都是倒钩案等一系列事件的衍生产品或者周边产品,那就是好人没好报,唯利是图,人情冷漠,这也是中国社会的缩影,有人需要帮助,再不帮一把就活不下去了,有人出手了,结果自己也被拖下水,岸上的好人干着急,磕头下跪都没有用,资源被垄断,没有利益驱动,你连个尸体都没有。
第五,建议中国的公民随身携带两万元,第一是因为最近物价飞涨,多带点钱总没错,第二是万一被倒钩需要交纳一万到两万的罚款。第三是如果有朋友落水或者自己落水,你可以将现金举过头顶,这样才会有半官方捞尸队对你进行打捞,如果你有幸被救,对方又非常有道德,把你和尸体当成了一个收费标准,那么你还有八千元可以在医院或者救护车上对自己进行抢救。
第六,建议从中小学生就开始进行游泳课的训练。会不会游泳应该作为毕业标准。当然,我到现在还没有学会游泳,必须也要去学习。需要取代的是什么课呢?不是将游泳课合并入体育课,体育课是一定要保留的,但是要取消思想政治课。我们上了十年的思想政治课,学习了这么多的鸟毛,除了建起了一个鸟巢以外,我们学到了什么?社会风气依然很差,这说明思想政治课从教育的角度来讲是完全失败的,而且因为内容枯燥,编写乏味,观点虚伪,文笔干涩。而作为洗脑专用课程,它无疑也是相当失败的,因为他需要强加背诵很多完全没有记忆点的内容,反而引起了无数青春期少年的反感,乃是过滤词的巨大失算。既然不能洗脑,那还不如去洗澡,所以,建议教委将所有的思想政治课改为游泳课,强身健体,还学会一项求生技能,这门课程一举从害人变成救人,功德无量。
