The moral trial in online public opinion is overwhelming, which makes Liu Xin, who is at the forefront of the incident, have the possibility of being drowned by saliva. She was called "scum" and "poisoned girlfriend", and many people even publicly expressed "hope that Liu Xin would die".
In the face of Liu Xin's apology, netizens were not satisfied. Some people began to analyze how many lies her verbal information conveyed in a video that didn't even show her face. Some people speculate that she has some mental problems and she can't perceive other people's emotions.
Let's take a look at the push of Jiangge case by major media, among which there are many sensational and bloody topics:
In fact, no matter how many moral flaws Liu Xin has, and how controversial the legal sentencing of this case is, at least so far, there is no doubt that this case is a massacre caused by breakup violence. The deceased Jiang Ge was stabbed by his friend Wang Xin's ex-boyfriend at the door of the rental house for more than a dozen times. Before the incident, Liu Xin had been staying at his friend Jiang Ge's house to avoid the harassment and intimidation of his predecessor.
Breaking up violence kills Jiangge, and cyber violence kills Liu Xin?
Admittedly, Liu Xin's behavior in this case is by no means blameless. Jiangge's mother lost her beloved daughter, which was heartbreaking. However, under the fierce offensive of public opinion trial, we can't help thinking: besides indulging in the sadness of the internet, how can we prevent similar tragedies from happening again?
Can we save innocent lives threatened by violence by morally condemning Liu Xin and making her pay a price outside the law, or by distributing safety rules to girls with a disappointing attitude towards human nature and warning people not to help others in times of danger?
Here, we want to reiterate that we should be soberly aware that Jiangge was killed by Chen Shifeng's violent bayonet, and helping people in need is her choice as an adult in a sober state. Therefore, no matter what mentality she has afterwards, she thinks that she underestimated the crisis and will be accused of being a victim. Because fault is the perpetrator of breakup violence, and the unpredictability of TAs can't lead to the conclusion that anyone "failed to protect himself".
Like domestic violence, the prevention and treatment of dating violence, breaking up violence and pursuing violence should not be a private matter, but should receive more attention from the society. Moreover, these violent incidents are far from as small as we thought. In fact, the probability of these events is surprisingly high. Wang Xiangxian, an associate professor in the Department of Sociology of Tianjin Normal University, surveyed more than 1000 college students and found that the incidence of dating violence was as high as13, even higher than that of marital violence.
After the Liu Xin incident fermented on the Internet, it was shocking that many people openly advocated violence and killing to solve the problem in their comments, making her pay the price (not just the murderer). Many of these self-media accounts with many fans and the right to speak have also contributed. Liu Xin's family has been eaten by human flesh, published information, harassed endlessly in life, and even has ulterior motives.
The emotion of Jiangge's mother in the whole incident deserves our understanding and sympathy. However, when the media constantly incited people with "human blood wonton", 65,438+10,000+tweets were constantly generated and forwarded, which never solved or even faced any real problems except venting and copying anger, which brought considerable traffic performance to these accounts.
Cyber violence can "kill" Liu Xin, or it can easily "kill" any ordinary person who can't stand moral torture in such incidents, but grasping these can't cure the disease of the whole society. Unless you don't want to solve the problem at all, unless your incitement only stays in the incitement itself!

She is not a perfect "victim", but why did he quietly disappear from the center of public opinion?
Contrary to Liu Xin being bombarded by online public opinion, Chen Shifeng, the real murderer, rarely appeared in public discussions. Except for the part where Jiangge's mother hoped to jointly sue the court for Chen's death sentence, we seldom read more details about Chen, and even when everyone pointed the finger at Liu Xin, Chen was almost completely invisible.
In this incident, Liu Xin suffered from the violence of her predecessor's breakup. Maybe she is not a perfect victim. Her selfishness, lack of courage and even lack of sincerity are nothing to be proud of. But at the time of the incident, if it was any of us, who can guarantee that we can do it well enough? It is not only the morally spotless victims who deserve sympathy and protection, because it is the people who clearly take up the knife and commit violence who are the culprit.
As pointed out in the article "Some Brief Thoughts on Jiangge's Murder":
The terrible thing about breaking up violence is that, first, bystanders are often more likely to become "conspiracy" from the perspective of the perpetrator, thinking that the problem lies with the victim, or that violence is a reasonable punishment that the victim deserves. Or, the victim made friends carelessly and chose to be with "scum" on his own initiative.
Secondly, the violence of breaking up is always planned as a private area that the victim should bear, which is also the origin of Jiang Ge's statement that he died for Liu Xin mentioned in an article. So why did Liu Xin die? Even why does one of them have to die?
Moreover, according to various survey results, men with intimate relationship violence generally have emotional management problems, and they are more likely to be violent to the people around them. In the incidents of gender violence caused by intimate relationship violence, violence also affects innocent passers-by from time to time.
Anger and emotion can't reduce Liu Xin's tragedy.
Liu Xin's tragedy is the tragedy of an imperfect victim, the tragedy caused by breakup violence, and even the tragedy caused by public opinion.
Accusing the victim of imperfection will not only improve the status quo, but also make us miss the opportunity to reflect on the intervention mechanism of gender violence and review the structural problems of the social system. Although extreme moral torture seems to increase the depth of discussion, it will also fall into an unsolved problem.
As Lu Pin said, the real problem of extreme moral torture is that no one can provide Liu Xin with the best solution at that time, and no one can guarantee that he can do it perfectly when the crisis comes. Because when people are awake, they always overestimate their rational and moral standards when they are emotional. Therefore, when dealing with similar situations, it is very important to have ideas and solutions, which means that we need knowledge and drills to deal with gender violence.
In the Liu Xin incident, a detail criticized by netizens was that when she began to be pestered by her ex-boyfriend, Liu Xin refused Jiangge's proposal to call the police, but the reason for not calling the police was only because she was worried that sharing a house was illegal. Chen Shifeng's threat can only be realized by grasping the victim's psychology. It is common for victims to be caught between Scylla and Charybdis in cases of gender violence.
How to provide more effective relief channels for potential victims of gender violence (including those who may be innocent), and at the same time provide more methods and pre-planning mechanisms for the public and law enforcement departments to deal with gender violence, perhaps this is what we should pay more attention to after this incident.
