去年年底发生在柬埔寨首都金边的送水节踩踏事件,至今回想仍然发人深省。当时政府发言人说,在拥挤的人群中,有人放出谣言,称桥不稳即将坍塌,消息随后迅速传开,人群恐慌,尖叫四起,踩踏发生。我们不禁感叹生命如此脆弱,瞬间便可烟消云散,也感叹群体原来如此盲从,一句谣言便让人们刹那间成为狂奔的公牛。谣言常常光顾我们身边,甚至于像“瘟神”一样严重危害着人们的身心健康和社会的安定团结。 Water Footing Stampede, which took place in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia at the end of last year, still recalls the present. At that time, a government spokesman said that among the crowds, some people gave out rumors that the bridge instability is about to collapse. The news spread quickly and the crowd panicked, screamed, and stampeded. We can not help but lament that life is so fragile, an instant can be dissipated, but also lamented the original group so blindly, a rumor allows people to become an instant rush of the Bulls. Rumors often patronize us and even endanger people’s physical and mental health and social stability and unity as “plague gods.”
