In Wuhan, Hubei, there is an old man who sells sugar water. His name is Xie Yongan. He is called "Grandpa Sugar Water" by netizens because he has set up a stall selling sugar water for 17 years.

　　Every night at 9:30, Xie Yongan would appear at a stall on the side of the road diagonally opposite the Wuhan Science and Technology Museum to sell sugar water; there are eight kinds of sugar water, and they are all two yuan a cup.

And every time he sells a cup, he will emphasize to customers that this can be refilled indefinitely.

　　On the sign of the stall, the words "Thank you for taking care of the business, the elderly and children don't need money for drinking water, and drinking boiled water costs no money"; "Grandpa Tangshui" is always cheerful and brings a full cup to every customer. syrup.

　　In July of this year, the fact that the old man sold sugar water without raising the price for 17 years rushed to the hot search on social platforms.

What followed was criticism from some netizens.

　　The price of 2 yuan a cup of sugar water has not increased for many years.

　　In Jiang'an District, Wuhan, there is a private house of about 40 square meters, where Xie Yongan and his wife originally lived.

The entrance is the kitchen, the bedroom, and the attic can be reached through the narrow corridor.

On the tables and chairs in the attic are the stainless steel basins used by Xie Yongan for business.

　　His wife told the media reporters who went to interview that the monthly rent for this house is 700 yuan, and the water and electricity bills are around 70 yuan. The rent is the main expense for the two of them.

　　More than 30 years ago, Xie Yongan and his wife also came to Wuhan from their hometown in Gushi, Henan to work hard when they saw the villagers come out to do business and make money. At first, they made a living by selling vegetables. Later, the husband and wife went into business separately.

The wife sells some marinated vegetables and grilled sausages.

She doesn't know how to ride a bike, so she sets up a stall near the rental house.

And Xie Yongan knew how to ride a bicycle, so he set up a sugar water shop and sold it all over the streets.

When a customer finished drinking and made another drink, he simply wrote "free refill" on the signboard, and he persisted for 17 years.

　　Xie Yongan's wife said that two people can make a little money by doing business together, but later, the business was not good, Xie Yongan's booth time was also postponed from 6 pm to 8 pm, "usually until 12 pm outside There's no one left." His wife started working part-time, helping with dishes and choosing dishes in restaurants.

　　His wife once suggested that Xie Yongan raise the unit price of each cup of sugar water to 3 yuan, but Xie Yongan was unwilling.

His wife said to him: "Everything I make is full of raw materials, and it's so cheap that people don't believe it." But Xie Yongan insisted not to raise prices.

　　To make money alone, you can only solve the living expenses. In order to subsidize the family, Xie Yongan’s wife will save some scraps to sell, but “for fifty cents a pound, I can’t sell it for money.”

　　And his wife's sale of waste products has become one of the reasons why Xie Yongan was attacked by the Internet.

After Xie Yongan became popular, his life was also picked up by netizens.

It is understood that Xie Yongan's wife usually makes a living by scavenging waste, and has a grandson with autism at home.

　　Being questioned that the ingredients are not clean, the family is worried and persuaded not to set up stalls anymore

　　Ling Xie Yongan did not expect that he would encounter cyber violence.

The popularity on the Internet did not bring anything to Xie Yongan, but some netizens questioned that the operation was unsanitary, the ingredients were not clean, and there were rumors that he sold sugar water because his descendants were unfilial and helpless.

　　So, are netizens' accusations and criticisms of him true?

In this regard, Hunan Economic Television conducted an interview with the old man Xie Yongan.

　　Xie Yongan said in an interview: "Don't go to me, everyone, I'm going back to my hometown, and I haven't set up a stall for more than ten days. What should I do if I don't go back to my hometown? My wife is old, and I don't do business anymore."

　　Regarding the alleged unclean and unhygienic ingredients, Xie Yongan said that before, two girls came to his stall to drink water every day and said to take a picture of him, and the result was posted on the Internet.

"I am more distressed that the (sugar water) I made is unsanitary and unclean. My wife and son also said, what if someone framed you? If you drink water and get sick in the hospital, who will pay for the medical expenses?"

　　Xie Yongan does not use a mobile phone, and his wife only has an old computer.

The news of his popularity and some of the bad comments on the Internet were first seen by his son and daughter-in-law.

With the dissemination of related videos, teachers and classmates of Xie Yongan's eldest grandson also began to discuss.

The son was worried that the bad comments would affect the life of the old man, so he called his father to persuade his father not to set up stalls.

　　It is understood that Xie Yongan and his wife have two sons, relying on their husband and wife to work and do a small business, so that the two sons can go to college.

The sons are all married, and the eldest grandson is "ready to go to college."

　　So, is the food stall of "Grandpa Tangshui" really unclean?

After the incident, some video bloggers visited his home and said that Xie Yongan's home was clean and the ingredients in the syrup were genuine.

And Xie Yongan also refuted the rumor that his son and daughter-in-law are very filial and will come back to see them when he has time.

　　When will "Grandpa Tangshui" be "injured by the keystroke" by the Internet storm?

　　In fact, when "Grandpa Tangshui" first became popular, some people were worried about whether it would be backlashed by traffic.

Sure enough, the Internet thugs used their "three-inch incorrupt tongue" to tell the grandfather, who had been quietly doing a small business, and even never thought about the explosion, to return to his hometown.

The reason for the online violence is poor hygiene, and even rumors that his children and grandchildren are not filial.

　　Of course, if compared with those so-called high-end dining places, the stall of "Grandpa Tangshui" doesn't seem to be that tall, or even a bit rudimentary.

But just by looking at the past environment, can it be judged that its hygiene is unqualified?

Can it be judged that the ingredients are not fresh just by the cheap price?

I'm afraid not.

It is true that the hygiene environment and food safety have been reiterated many times in recent years, and it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the fact that we must resist catering merchants with unqualified hygiene. Xia" what's the difference?

　　The Internet brings together all kinds of people and divides them into different platforms. But no matter which platform, as the number of people continues to increase, there will always be some people with bad intentions, who can "pick the bones out of the egg" in the face of any event... All in all, cyber thugs will always look at all kinds of things with their own narrow eyes.

To a certain extent, the society definitely encourages the existence of people with a spirit of questioning, but questioning does not mean making trouble without reason, let alone "pressing a button to hurt people".

　　Looking back at many previous incidents of cyber violence, in January Liu Xuezhou sued his biological mother, who was called a "scheming man" by netizens, causing her to commit suicide; in April, a woman in Shanghai was questioned and ridiculed for "less" because of the 200 yuan takeaway fee, which directly led to its suicide.

The way they choose to face cyber violence is of course inadvisable, but who would have noticed that the power of this online public opinion is "more powerful than a tiger".

In addition to regret, we should pay more attention to how to completely eradicate cyber violence.

　　Psychologically speaking, cyberbullying is a mental health problem based on the "dark tetrad".

As far as victims are concerned, the most effective way is to downplay the voice of public opinion on the Internet as much as possible. If you are personally harassed, you must keep evidence and provide it to the police; as an individual, when we look at anything, we must not slander others without grounds. Let alone harass and humiliate others at will; as far as society is concerned, it is necessary to strengthen supervision, popularize the real-name system, and establish a whole system to prevent cyber-violence, deal with cyber-violence, and protect victims, so that people like "Grandpa Tangshui" will no longer be allowed. incident happened again.
