Witnesses at the scene told China Newsweek that an old man died after jumping naked into the Yiyang Ziyang River in the afternoon of Jan. 19. The Weekly’s investigation found that a number of local senior citizen institutions in Yiyang charge high fees for booking senior citizen beds. According to those in the know, the deceased is a 62-year-old male, the elderly institutions to book pension beds and rebate model, after raising funds for the elderly suspected of running away, the deceased suspected of being cheated more than 100,000 yuan pension money. The source said that the case involves more than 2,000 elderly people cheated, and a number of elderly people therefore lightly. The incident is currently pending further investigation.
On January 19, it was rainy in Yiyang, Hunan.
A man wearing a red cap and an old-fashioned down jacket tied the drum circle around his waist and repeatedly beat it.
The sound of the drum reverberated in the cold river, which was a bit creepy.
The drummer chanted: “I can’t find him for a few days, he’s gone to visit his relatives, it’s impossible to find him.
He was looking for an old man named Cao Ronglin.
Three days ago, Cao Ronglin jumped down from here and was lost.
The icy river washed the old man’s body into the distance and was slow to find.
It was not until three days later that it was recovered by the rescue team.
Some people sing night and day, some people look to the plum to quench their thirst.
Behind the beautiful earthly world, the individuals at the bottom wither in secret.
People do not understand.
What is it that makes this old man, determined to walk into the heavy springs of eternal separation?
Cao Ronglin, a man of less than 1 meter 7, is 62 years old, and his hair is already completely white.
He lost his Parents when he was 3 years old, did not go to school, and could not read or write.
Like many old people, Mr. Cao has worked hard all his Life for a good old age.
He worked as a cleaner in a hospital, worked in a brick kiln… After spending his whole life, Cao Ronglin, who worked as a handyman, saved up a little bit of his savings of 170,000 yuan.
What is the concept of 170,000 yuan?
For a young man in a big city, it is only two square meters of a toilet.
For Cao Ronglin, it was all he had to live on for the rest of his foreseeable life.
I can even imagine that he should have spent many nights tossing and turning, thinking: should he deposit this money in the bank? Or is it wrapped in plastic and hidden in the nooks and crannies of the house?
But no matter how much energy he had spent thinking about where the 170,000 went, it didn’t matter.
Cao Ronglin was dead.
At 1:00 p.m. on January 19, the wind was biting in Yiyang in the dead of winter.
Cao Ronglin stripped naked, leapt towards the Yiyang Ziyang River Bridge and jumped into the bottom of the 30-meter river.
At this moment, his wife, who was delirious and hanging on for dear life, was waiting for her partner to get money to renew her life in the intensive care unit of Yiyang Central Hospital.
But she will never be able to wait.
Not only did Cao Ronglin die, but the $170,000 to renew his life was also gone.
In the name of “reserving a bed for the elderly”, the old man gave all the 170,000 to an organization called “Yiyang NANO Senior Residences Co.
What do you mean by “reservation of senior beds”?
This is a new model of senior care, according to the picture described by NANO.
If you pre-deposit 30,000 RMB, you can get a bed in a senior residence, and when you move in in the future, the bed fee will be discounted by 10%.
If you deposit 110,000 RMB, you can get a “permanent residence permit” for a senior residence, and a 30% discount on the bed rate when you move in.
If you don’t move in in the future, this is a “dividend-based retirement product”.
A certain percentage of the benefit is returned every year, and the principal is refunded at the end of the contract.
What if the apartment closes down? What about the money?
The old man did not think about this problem, but unfortunately, it happened.
Because of the poor operation, in July, the chairman of NANO surrendered to the Ziyang Branch of Yiyang City Public Security Bureau.
The apartment thundered and the old man’s money was all gone.
This is a familiar story.
A few months ago, the young people in the north, is in a similar sound of thunder, rolled up the quilt dragging suitcases, in the early morning hours into the street.
The primitive obscurantist era of killing each other is frequently staged in contemporary times in various forms.
Some of the killings are so huge and some are so silent.
What Cao Ronglin encountered was a silent killing.
And such a story is far from just happening to him.
In Yiyang alone, including Cao Ronglin, there have been three elderly people who have been sucked out of their savings by elderly institutions and eventually chose to commit suicide.
Lin Qi, who is already 90 years old, is struggling at the border between life and death.
Lin Qi is a widowed old man, his son died early, and his grandson is far away, the rest of his life, he must find himself a dependant.
This life, the old man in the brick factory to push the tile car, facing the dust and ash of the tile car, dozens of dollars a day dozens of dollars, but also saved 10,000 yuan of savings.
Would have liked to use this 10,000 NANO 10% discount service, but under the constant encouragement of salesmen, Lynch sold the only house in town and got a 30% discount on occupancy.
But now NANO thunderstorm, his house is gone, the money is also gone.
NANO accident, came a group of people, door to door to record the contact information of the children of the elderly.
Lynch did not have children, and he did not know what this group of people were doing.
He only saw that this group of people nailed the windows that could be completely pushed open, leaving only a finger to push open the space, saying that it was for their safety.
The old man did not understand that this was someone who was afraid they would jump.
The old people didn’t want to leave because they didn’t know where to go, and neither did Lynch.
But there was no way.
The staff told him: If you don’t leave, there will be no Food.
After more than 90 years on this earth, in his last life, he just took the 1,700 yuan pension and lived in a rural nursing Home.
Yiyang is a city with a very serious aging population.
By the end of 2018, the resident population was 4,413,800, of which 1,057,300, or 23.95%, were over 60 years old.
In this small city, at least 6,000+ elderly people have been screwed by such institutions.
Sunset Red Senior Apartments, Rouge Lake Senior Apartments, Court Elder Eco Senior Apartments, Yixinyuan Senior Apartments, Yihe Shoukang Senior Apartments, Xingyi Senior Apartments, Hengtai Senior Center, Wanmingshan Senior Apartments, Chongyang Senior Home, Duhao Senior Apartments, Wangshou Senior City, CiXiao Senior Apartments …. At least 16 senior care institutions are using the same model to absorb the deposits of countless elderly people.
Most of the old people will give their lifetime money to these institutions, but only a few of them are “lucky” to live in it for a few years, and then not long after, because of the lightning was dismissed.
Not only in Yiyang, but also in a deleted comment on Weibo, I found that such mines have appeared all over the country.
Shanxi Jinzhong :
Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Zhengzhou, Henan.
Mianyang, Sichuan.
Changsha, Hunan.
Countless cheating and being cheated happen in this world.
Only the tragic story behind this deception does not bring a lengthy echo.
A stone thrown into the water will all have echoes, but a living person falling into the river is not necessarily.
On Weibo, you can barely see the news of Cao Ronglin’s old man’s death.
The first blogger to report the incident has been quietly blown up for reasons we don’t know.
Several news stories have basically been deleted, and the stars are still struggling, but struggling… Struggling is… You can only struggle.
China now has 200 million old people, but the Internet has no old people.
Cao Ronglin’s message has not been spread, and every day, there are still many unknown elderly people who continue to invest money in these organizations.
Even some of the defrauded seniors are still longing for their fantasy life in their old age, dozens of days after the head of the institution turned himself in.
When Cao Ronglin was desperate, no one outside the sighing apartments knew of their plight.
These elderly people, who are at the end of their lives, are seriously abandoned by information.
I went to the hospital many, many times this year because of Family reasons.
At the self-service registration machines in hospitals, I always saw some old people with a card, looking left and right in a panic, and the nurses next to them were always unhappy and full of dislike.
The elderly in this part of Shanghai should be the least worried elderly in the whole of China.
But they can’t.
The world has become a global village, but the old people are completely unaware of what is happening in the village.
The people in the village never visit the elderly, and the world is moving at high speed, and no one has Time to care about them.
The world is moving so fast that no one has time to care about them. The times have left them behind.
Every stranger who passes by abandons them.
Now, even the last place to stay in life abandons them.
The youth of today are strong.
They show an unprecedented openness, an openness that includes a transcendent view of life.
“I will be buried if I die”, “I will die one day”, “I will be old and self-sufficient”.
So they, really, hardly care much about the future of the elderly.
But believe me, don’t think it’s none of your business.
Old age, is the eternal universal anxiety.
Or rather, to be overridden by the powerful, is the eternal universal anxiety of mankind.
At this moment, you are living in a cheap shared apartment, with no sunlight in the north-facing room, no one to clean the garbage in the toilet bowl for days, and a pungent smell of hot pot in the living room, but you don’t say a word for the sake of your roommate’s peace.
You are enthusiastic, you are hopeful, you tell yourself: bear with it, the world will be mine one day.
You’re so naive.
The world is not yours, not even the right to occupy this 10 square meters.
As long as the devil extends his claws, and these Yiyang old people, and the end of the year the same group of miserable young people, you are nothing.
Do not think that everyone is the same and everything will be fine.
Each individual’s life, not a large enough number of people, you will certainly find the optimal solution.
Please wake up from your fantasy, look up at the dark sky and a bright moon, and tell yourself.
From the age of 20 to 80, we need to always fight for the underdog.
The Nano incident is not an isolated incident, it is more like the epitome of the rule.
What are the rules?
The rule is this.
If this incident is not allowed to get more attention.
There will be more seniors, one after another, falling into the same scam over and over again.
The rule is.
Don’t abandon these poor old people.
Their old age without support may be our future old age without support.
The rule is.
Don’t feel that evil is being played out quietly, and then turn your head away.
Don’t ignore it because it’s not your turn yet.
The rule is.
As long as you live in this world.
The infinite faraway places and countless people are all related to you.
