My Longkang

Bengbeng on the telephone: What is it? You sound so ’stressed’.

Yong:

It is my son. He is so stupid. He was walking in town and wasn’t careful. He accidentally knocked into ’someone’.( The son is thirteen years old, cute, polite and very well-behaved boy ) He got in the way of someone who was walking from the other direction.

He was beaten up and no body helped him. Luckily the problem is solved. I asked my eldest son to see the man. I had to as the man is ’someone’ . He told my eldest son he wasn’t angry and that is why he only punched and beat my youngest son on the body and not on the head. Anyway the matter is solved.

My son didn’t go to school for three days. He is better now.

What is sad is nobody helped the boy. He didn’t commit a crime or anything and in no way looked like a crook. He looks very ‘good-boy’ look and in no way could be perceived as a threat. His size is small for a thirteen-year-old.

The father didn’t dare lift a finger. He just wanted to make peace. What is worse, if I were there, I would probably not get involved too. Who would dare to get involved?
