英雄主义赎金

I wept tears of anger when I saw the photographs.

Almost all the netizens who have posted their comments on the incident on the web have expressed anger, too. But, as always, a few "cool-minded" and cold-hearted people have said the "salvage company" did not violate any law.

Do the bodies of heroes deserve to be treated like logs and held to ransom? How could the boatmen be so heartless? Couldn't they have pulled out the bodies and then bargained for the money?

At a press conference held on Saturday, the Jingzhou municipal government echoed the words of the cold-hearted netizens: The company had not violated any law.

We are talking about the sanctity of a human body here. We are talking about the law of the heart, not the market. Isn't it a crime to drag a dead person in icy waters with his friends and teachers looking on helplessly? Isn't it a crime to humiliate a human being after death? If such a way of treating the body of a hero is not counted as a crime, then where can we find justice in this world?

As if that was not enough, the company had the audacity to ask for 300 yuan as "tips" to buy cigarettes and bottled drinks.

Ironically, the local public security bureau has decided to detain the boss for 15 days and fine him 1,000 yuan for asking for 300 yuan in "tips", not for forcing out 36,000 yuan for pulling out the bodies.

According to reports, the company seems to monopolize salvage operations in the area, and hence its exorbitant charges. Have we thought about pressing charges against him for extortion?
