Although the case was solved, Su He was not in a good mood.
It seems that since she became a police officer, many of the cases she has encountered involve tragedies of this era and the resistance of vulnerable groups.
What saddened her was that, given her insignificance, she couldn't change anything.
It seems that we can only seek justice for them after the fact.
But what's the use of that?
When they wanted to rebel, she couldn't help them, nor did she have any reason to help them.
They should only be punished when they are forced to rebel or when they do something wrong.
She seemed useless, but she couldn't stop things from happening because that's how the times are, and she couldn't change others.
So she was filled with a feeling of sadness, self-blame, and helplessness.
This made her rather quiet after she got home.
Seeing this, Grandma Su was a little worried. She didn't know what had happened to her and didn't dare to ask. She could only silently ask Yuan Yuan to cheer her up.
Since Yuanyuan started attending the preschool class, she has become more and more talkative. After receiving instructions from her great-grandmother, she ran over to recite poems for her mother.
Seeing his eloquent manner, Su He smiled, which was a rare occurrence. She played with him for a while, but after returning to her room, she fell silent again.
Lin Jingyan massaged her feet, which were a little tired from a busy day due to her pregnancy, and then asked casually, "Has anything happened at work lately? Or have you encountered another case?"
Su He looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Su He twitched her lips. "Is it obvious?"
Then she realized, "That's right, Grandma noticed it too, it's probably quite obvious. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Lin Jingyan shook his head. "Can you tell me about it? Don't keep it to yourself. It might feel better to talk about it."
Su He thought for a moment after hearing this, but didn't know what to say.
Could she say she feels helpless about this era? Or is this era too harsh on women and vulnerable groups?
Finally, I could only explain: "Many of the cases I've encountered recently involve people who are in a vulnerable position and have no choice but to fight back. I feel like I can't help them, and I can only judge them after they've fallen into despair. It's a bit helpless and powerless."
"I see..." Lin Jingyan listened thoughtfully.
He understood why she was sad, so he went up to her and hugged her, saying, "Actually, you've already done very well. You're just one person, you can't help everyone. If you blame yourself for other people's experiences, that's too tiring."
“I know,” Su He nodded. “I know I can’t help everyone, and I can’t change the rules of this era. I’m not blaming myself, it’s just a sense of helplessness.”
Lin Jingyan nodded. "I understand what you mean. Perhaps you feel that this era is sometimes unfair to many disadvantaged groups?"
Su He nodded, "Yes, it's too difficult for them to resist."
"Then think about the past?"
"Huh?" Su He looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Lin Jingyan smiled and said, "Think about the past, think about the Republic of China, think about the feudal era. Wasn't life even more difficult for ordinary people in those times?"
Compared to that time, we are much better off now. At least the people can be masters of their own destiny, and we can live well on our own. Even though some people still prefer sons to daughters, outside there are slogans like "Women hold up half the sky."
Compared to the past, society is much better now. I know there may still be many imperfections, but we should give it time.
We must trust our country and believe that our country and its policies will get better and better.
And what you worry about, what you feel powerless to change, will change sooner or later…
