On July 1, in the city of Auckland, New Zealand, a disturbing incident once again highlighted the safety risks of overseas students. A 16-year-old Chinese student was violently assaulted by an unknown woman on a bus, suffering facial injuries and five teeth being knocked out. The incident shocked many Chinese students and their parents, and also sparked widespread discussion.
According to the victim's account afterwards, on the evening of June 28, while he was riding a bus, an unknown woman suddenly stepped forward to insult and beat him, and made racist remarks. Due to the disparity in strength, he was unable to defend himself.
Fortunately, an elderly Chinese man in his 70s acted bravely to stop and gradually control the perpetrator, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. To the disbelief of the injured and the public, after such a serious attack on the bus, the bus driver opened the door to allow the suspect to escape, and never reported the incident to the police or contacted the rescue.
The 16-year-old student, from Chinese mainland, came to New Zealand alone to study with his family still in China. Encountering such a violent attack, his face was severely deformed, which will affect his study and life in the long run. And there were many witnesses in the car at that time, and no one came forward to help and protect him, which made him feel deeply disappointed and unfair.
Afterwards, the injured were treated with the support of the Chinese community in New Zealand. This incident has received widespread attention, and it has also raised questions about the potential safety hazards overseas and the driver's failure to handle things. Details of this case need to be verified by the police through further investigation.
It was revealed that the suspect was a native of New Zealand, and the motive for the attack may be related to racial discrimination. However, even if there is a racial component, the violence is inexcusable. As a 16-year-old international student, you should be protected by law and society on any occasion.
There are also many questions about the driver's direct release of the suspect after this serious incident. As a manager of public transportation, you should call the police in time and ensure the safety of passengers. This move may expose the inadequacy of the awareness and ability of bus crews to deal with emergencies, which is worth reflecting. For adults, they can also feel helpless when they are attacked in an unfamiliar environment.
And for a 16-year-old growing child, this experience can have a psychological impact that is difficult to eliminate. As an international student, you should conduct relevant training in advance on safety awareness, and take the initiative to seek help if necessary. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant authorities can further strengthen the protection of minor international students to prevent the further occurrence of such incidents.
The effect of not paying for the country's nationality is obvious to all. In the matter, you must remember to take out the country's nationality, what Mr. Wu said
Isn't there Tencent in New Zealand?
How can compatriots outside be so dangerous
Of course, violence is an isolated case, but it reminds us that the safety of overseas students should be taken seriously. We hope that relevant institutions can further strengthen safety investment and training to ensure that more Chinese people can study and live normally abroad. At the same time, it is also expected that all government departments can make every effort to solve this case, give the victim an explanation, and also play a role in deterring lawbreakers. Only in this way can our children continue to grow up healthily in the overseas environment.
