Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thingby calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of adark street.

Li and his classmates from No.2 MiddleSchool affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’sDay(情人节) selling roses on the street.As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in theirpockets.

Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out atthem. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. Hisclassmates returned safe and sound.

So, what would you have done in Li’ssituation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescueyour friends?

A new Beijing student code(守则) does not encourage you to risk(冒险) your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of thenew term.

It has cut words which might encourageyoungsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are theold calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fightcriminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrificethemselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured oreven dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well-known example was Lai Ning, whowas listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost hislife trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers “heroicacts” started a national wide debate(争论)about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, saidschools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learningfrom heroes.

But educators thought the spirit ofcourage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminalscourageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, weshould be more rational(理智的) about the spirit ofsacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is noreason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. Forexample, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someonedrowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to callthe police or an adult.”
