ISSO É MELHOR DO QUE QUALQUER ASSUNTO POLÍTICO...

法庭上震撼亿万人的三个躬

法庭里座无虚席,开庭审判的是一桩绑架案。犯罪嫌疑人是一个30多岁的民工,绑架了一个六岁的男孩儿。让人欣慰的是,孩子安然无恙。虽然没有造成严重的后果,但他仍然要受到法律的制裁。

  一民工绑架的是老板的儿子。之前,他在老板那里干了八个月,却没有拿到一分钱。他几次求老板先预支点儿钱,哪怕几百元也行。他是家里唯一的顶梁柱,他的母亲患有严重的心脏病,一天也离不开药。孩子上学也要用钱。还有他的妹妹,因为失恋患了精神病,他还要为妹妹治病,他不能看着妹妹天天披头散发满街乱跑。他每次找老板要钱,老板都一脸的不耐烦。往往他还没说上几句话,就被老板叫来的保安赶出了办公室。

    终于,他忍无可忍,绑架了老板的儿子。后来,他后悔了,他完全可以跑掉,但他怕孩子一个人出什么意外,也怕孩子害怕,便一直把孩子抱在怀里。当警察出现的时候,孩子在他的怀里睡得正香。


  他被判了五年。旁听席上的人都为他惋惜,到底是不懂法,否则,也就不会付出这样大的代价。他那个风雨飘摇的家该怎么办呢?

  就在法官要宣布退庭时,从旁听席上传来
个苍老的声音:“等等,我有话要说。”大家扭头望去,是一个年过花甲的老妇人。有人认识她,她是男孩儿的奶奶,也就是老板的妈妈。孩子被绑架之后,老人一病不起,那是她最爱的孙子,也是孙辈中唯一的男孩儿。众人的心里都有些紧张,或许,老人还要提额外的条件,那个已经一无所有的民工还能承受得起吗?

  老人慢慢地向被告席走过去。她站在民工面前,大家看到,她的嘴角在抖动。大厅里鸦雀无声,谁也不知道会发生什么事。

突然,老人弯下腰,向民工深深地鞠了三个躬。所有的人都愣住了,包括原告席上的老板,他想母亲大概老糊涂了。

  老人抬起花白的头,泪水流了一脸。良久,她缓缓地说:“孩子,这第一躬,是我代我的儿子向你赔罪。是我教子无方,让他做出了对不起你的事。该受审判的不应该只是你,还有我的儿子,他才是罪魁祸首。这第二躬,是我向你的家人道歉。我的儿子不仅对不起你,也对不起你们一家人。作为母亲,我有愧呀。这第三躬,我感谢你没有伤害我的孙子,没给他的心灵留下丝毫的阴影,你有一颗善良的心。孩子,你比我的儿子要强上100倍。”

  老人的一番话,令在场的人都为之动容,这是一个深明大义的母亲。而那个民工失声痛哭,是感动,也是悔恨。事情的结果是,老人的儿子不仅向民工支付了工钱,还把那个民工的母亲和妹妹接到城里来治病。故事以喜剧结束。

  我想,是老人的宽容和大义救赎了儿子的灵魂。母亲的三个躬不仅是鞠给民工的,也是鞠给儿子的。她是用这样的方式规劝儿子,不能做昧良心的事。

不管我们选择了怎样的人生道路,走得正是第一要义。不愧对良心,不违背道义。最起码,不要做让母亲伤心的事,不要让母亲为我们低下她花白的头。

Thanks to Ben for keeping the regular players informed there, not covered by this mailing list.

Also thanks to David Au who will let our guys know by posting the notice on our blog.

We will have to stay close for the current and correct information around.
