At this moment, a female doctor in her fifties came to one of the policemen and said agitatedly, “Mr Policeman! You must save that child! She’s a good child! She’s too filial! She knew her family could not bear the burden of the medical fees! So, she…” There was a lump in her throat, “You do not know how she has been passing the past few days. She knew that she had nearly expended all of her family’s money over the past few days. She kept saying that she did not feel good, so she did not eat. She did not take a single bite and even gave the hospital food to her parents. She only knew how to save money for her parents and ate only one meal a day. She also prevented us doctors and nurses from telling her parents. She told us to tell her parents that she had already eaten if they asked! Later on, a few of us doctors and nurses could not stand watching this any further. We then took turns bringing food for her and managed to finally make her eat!”
A male doctor also said emotionally, “Quickly save her!”
When the old mother heard this, she cried even louder, “Little Lian! Why are you so silly!? If you aren’t around, what are we to do!? What do you want us to do!”
When the policemen heard this, they were clearly disturbed!
“We must save her!”
“Our men have already gone up to persuade her, but…”
“That’s right. We don’t dare to approach her. She is already sitting up there. If some mishap happens while saving her, she might…”
Over there, a middle-aged man in a white doctor’s coat stood forward. He seemed to be the Leader of the hospital. He shouted, “Young comrade, come down first and talk. The medical fees aren’t a problem. You should be treated first before we talk about the medical fees. Besides, there are a lot of good-willed people in society these days! I don’t believe that no one would help you! I don’t believe everyone’s conscience has been eaten by dogs! I’ll lead! I’ll donate 30,000!”
“I’ll donate 5,000!”
“I’ll donate 2,000!”
Everyone expressed their intentions to donate. Although this amount of money was useless and just a drop in the bucket for the medical fees, they wished to summon back this filial girl.
But no matter how long they persuaded, Yang Lian remained unmoved. She did not even look down, nor did anyone know if she heard what they said. She only looked quietly at the sun in the sky.
The policemen looked at each other and had ugly expressions. From their experience, they knew that this young lady had made her decision. There was no way to change her mind. Typically, those who insisted on seeing various people and said a lot in a fierce manner before committing suicide were not really wishing to die. However, Yang Lian’s behavior was too calm. Clearly, she had made her decision!
Suddenly, the reporters arrived!
A few Beijing Television Station’s reporters came. Some drove an interview truck. The moment they got off, they pointed their cameras to the top of the building.
“Come down!”
“Everyone will help you!”
“Yang Lian! Come down first!”
“If you die, who is to take care of your parents?”
Everyone used all sorts of words, but the girl up there remained unmoved.
Suddenly, something happened. Yang Lian lifted herself with both her arms and stood up on the top of the building, “Thank you. Goodbye.”
“Ah!”
“She’s jumping!”
“Oh no, oh no!”
“Little Lian! No! No!”
The leading policeman tried his best to shout into the walkie-talkie, “Move!”
“There’s no time anymore! It’s too far!” The other side of the walkie-talkie replied in a hurry.
At this moment, many people covered their eyes. At this moment, everyone was feeling extremely grieved!
A child, a young girl in her twenties, actually chose to end her life, so as not to burden her parents or trouble her family. This sounded simple, but how many people in the entire world would do that? She was extremely filial!
No one wanted her to die!
At this moment, everyone was out of options!
A few reporters and cameramen also revealed doleful looks!
Many doctors and nurses who had interacted with Yang Lian in the hospital over the past few days even teared up. They were crying!
At that split moment, Zhang Ye had already arrived behind a few policemen. With a grab, he took a loudspeaker from a policeman and spoke out to Yang Lian, who was about to jump down the next second. Zhang Ye was not long-winded, nor did he preach. He only said a poem and did not say it slowly or quickly. His tone was very calm, “When cobwebs sealed my stove without mercy; When the smoldering embers lamented poverty; I didn’t yield, but smoothed out the ashes of despair; And with the lovely snow I wrote: In the future we trust.”
Yang Lian stopped in her motions and looked downstairs with a surprise. She looked at the person reciting the poem downstairs!
The police were angry, “What are you doing?”
“Who let you say anything? You grabbed my loudspeaker?” Another policeman charged forward
