The video footage that drew widespread attention, showing a martyr's child being questioned by a driver for using a preferential card, is shown in the video.
A boy of about ten years old, carrying a schoolbag, boarded a bus parked on the side of the road.
"Beep~"
"Preferential treatment card!"
Just after he took out the card hanging on his backpack, swiped it, and boarded the bus.
An electronic voice notification came from the card reader.
The driver, who was holding the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the boy, frowned, and asked, "Whose card did you take?"
"It's mine!"
The boy held up the card with the badge on it and showed it to the driver.
"Ha, kids these days are really..."
They'll take any card they want!
The driver glanced at the card in the boy's hand, shook his head, and said speechlessly.
After saying that, the impatient driver turned the steering wheel and started the bus.
"Uncle, this really is my card."
The little boy, who had been misunderstood by the driver, paused for a moment, then spoke timidly.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go sit in the back. Who knows how you got that preferential card?"
The driver didn't even glance at the boy, and said sarcastically in his dialect.
The boy with the backpack was about to continue explaining.
But she saw that the driver was only focused on driving and no longer paid attention to her.
The boy pouted, tears welling in his eyes, and silently walked to the back of the bus, where he sat down in an empty seat in the corner.
This scene was captured on a woman's phone while she was filming a shaky video on the bus.
The woman, who was hearing the name of this bus card for the first time, was also curious and posted the video online, asking netizens what exactly a "preferential card" was.
Originally, the video, which was filmed on Sunday, didn't go very far.
It only sparked heated discussions among netizens who were familiar with the relevant documents.
But then news broke on Monday that five veteran generals had inspected Tsinghua University.
In addition, Wang Yueheng's performance of "Grandma" for the mother of a martyr has just gone viral.
The short video of the boy being questioned about his preferential card by the driver has been unearthed again and is being widely shared and commented on.
Only then did the public find out.
It turns out that the boy's preferential treatment card is officially called the "Preferential Treatment Certificate for Families of Martyrs of the Dragon Kingdom".
Only the immediate family members of military personnel who died in the line of duty are eligible for this.
The boy's father was a fallen soldier.
The boy rode this bus.
It was to visit her grandmother who lived in the suburbs.
This is also the "grandmother" that Wang Yueheng pays tribute to in his song.
When netizens learned the details, they were instantly in an uproar.
"It's one thing for ordinary people not to know about preferential cards, but how come bus drivers don't know either? Aren't they trained before they start working?"
"I feel sorry for the boy. I think he must have wanted to say at that moment: Uncle, I don't want this card. I'll give the card back to you. Please give my dad back to me."
"This bus driver has absolutely no professional ethics; I strongly recommend that he be dismissed!"
"The leaders of the bus station should also be held accountable. What kind of training do they provide on a regular basis?"
"Does anyone have the boy's address? I really want to send him some gifts."
"@PingAnJiangsuProvince @PingAnXucheng, is this how you locals treat the children of martyrs? It's utterly heartbreaking!"
"It's so ironic. Wang Yueheng just finished praising the mother of a hero, and now the hero's children are being slandered and bullied like this!"
"This song, 'Grandma,' should be played repeatedly on buses across the country! It should serve as a wake-up call to those blind drivers!"...
Countless netizens left furious comments under the relevant videos, venting their anger.
They flocked to the official Weibo accounts of Jiangsu Province or Xucheng City, posting questions in an agitated tone.
more than this.
Directly tag the relevant military departments of China.
They demanded that the military stand up and seek justice for the boy who lost his father.
Upon learning of the situation, the official Weibo account of the Chinese military also issued a statement in response immediately.
"@Dragon Kingdom Defense Release: A certificate of preferential treatment for the family of a martyr is not only proof of the family's status, but also a certificate for the family of a martyr to receive respect."
"The card may be small, but it carries the weight of soldiers' sacrifices and dedication, as well as the silent contributions of their families."
"What lies beyond the mountains? It is the heroic spirit of martyrs, the beautiful homeland they fought and died to protect!"
“Every citizen of the Dragon Kingdom should hold the highest respect for the families of martyrs who hold this preferential card!”
@The official Weibo account of the Chinese Navy followed suit and posted a Weibo message:
"We are deeply saddened and disappointed to learn about the incident involving Xiaodou, the family member of the martyr."
"The naval fleet arranged a special visit to the military camp just for Xiaodou."
"All naval officers and soldiers solemnly invite Xiaodou to come home!"
And then the military's official Weibo account spoke out.
Netizens were once again abuzz with excitement.
"Xiaodou has finally got her family backing her up!"
"The army is the home of all the children of martyrs. If you want to bully the children of martyrs, you should first see if you have the ability!"
"You guys don't accept preferential cards when taking the bus, but the navy can bring their kids on warships!"
"Don't cry, little bean. Countless uncles and aunties are protecting you!"
finally.
It has been subjected to a barrage of criticism and condemnation from all sides.
Amidst the righteous indignation and condemnation from netizens across the country.
Local authorities in Xucheng rushed to put out the fire.
They all posted apology letters bearing official seals on Weibo or Douyin's official account.
They stated that they would definitely handle this matter seriously.
The bus driver who spoke rudely to the boy, under the guidance of his supervisor, took the initiative to visit the boy and his family to apologize. He was also stripped of all performance bonuses and eligibility for awards and commendations, and was suspended from his post for retraining.
Moreover, after an emergency meeting and discussion by local authorities in Xucheng.
They did indeed adopt the opinions of netizens.
We are considering repeatedly playing the two songs "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" and "Grandma," which Wang Yueheng just performed live on CCTV's military channel, on buses throughout the city.
This serves as a warning to all bus drivers to improve their professional ethics and respect every military family member who rides their bus.
Don't repeat the mistake of that ignorant bus driver.
...
"Yue Heng, I am Zhuang Xiaomeng, a reporter from the military channel. I was really excited after listening to your performance."
"You probably haven't seen that news yet, about a boy who was mistaken by the driver for using a preferential card when he took a bus."
"The boy's father was a naval soldier who was killed in an accident during a military mission four years ago."
"There's a huge online call for your song 'Grandma' to be played on buses. What's your take on that?"
After the exercise concluded and Mr. Mo and his entourage departed for their inspection,
Military reporter Zhuang Xiaomeng approached Wang Yueheng and began an interview right there on the playground.
"Yes, I just received a message from the studio as well."
"Xu Cheng did indeed make a request to use my song."
"Hearing about this, I also feel very sorry for Xiaodou's experience and hope that he will not be too affected."
"When I get back, I will also send him my new album, and I will mail him a copy of every new album I release in the future."
"I also want to use CCTV's military channel to tell all domestic public sectors here."
"If you think it's appropriate, you can use my songs for public service announcements. I won't charge any copyright fees. Just let me know before you use them."
When interviewed by Zhuang Xiaomeng, Wang Yueheng replied with a solemn expression.
"That's great!"
"On behalf of the viewers of CCTV, I would also like to express my gratitude for your kind act!"
Upon learning of Wang Yueheng's idea, Zhuang Xiaomeng said with emotion.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yueheng readily agreed to the request from local cities to use his songs.
In fact, local governments have allocated a portion of their budgets for promoting urban civility.
Replace it with other celebrities who are more meticulous about every little thing.
Why can't they propose additional requirements such as serving as a city image ambassador or receiving a share of the song revenue?
However, for Wang Yueheng, who can write new songs at any time...
