If the Jiangkou City Public Security Bureau were the first to issue such a document, it would itself be a dazzling achievement, and it might even be reported in national newspapers.

"Secretary Liu's suggestion is absolutely correct. I completely agree with it!"

It is actually quite easy to investigate this matter thoroughly.

There were witnesses to Li Sanqi's rescue that day.

Not only did the blood station nurse witness it, but there were also diners in the restaurant who saw it and spoke up for Li Sanqi. Li Yunhai personally took charge and summoned the diners to question them, and the entire incident became crystal clear.

Even the restaurant owner and his wife, intimidated by the "power" of the city's Public Security Bureau chief, told the truth.

They admitted that Li Sanqi saved their child, but they were afraid that Li Sanqi would blackmail them in the future, so they refused to admit it.

Li Yunhai was furious and scolded them severely.

What interested Liu Hongyi was that Li Yunhai did not force the restaurant owner and his wife to pay for Li Sanqi's medical expenses, but instead instructed Li Sanqi to go to court to sue.

"Comrade Li Sanqi, our country has laws. The Civil Code stipulates that you can sue them in court and ask them to pay your medical expenses, lost wages, and nutrition expenses."

"Don't worry, the public security authorities will testify for you that you truly sacrificed yourself to save others. The transcripts from today's interrogation are all evidence."

Liu Hongyi immediately looked at Li Yunhai with admiration.

These days, it is really not easy to have such awareness of the rule of law.

Li Yunhai is not from a professional background, he is a retired military officer.

At this stage, most people in high positions prefer to use administrative orders instead of laws.

On the contrary, Li Sanqi hesitated and said, "This...is not good..."

He still holds a very simple belief that saving people should not lead to asking for anything in return.

I saved the child myself, and then went to court to sue the other party for compensation. It just didn't feel right.

Liu Hongyi immediately said, "Comrade Li Sanqi, I support you in taking the case to court. There's absolutely no contradiction between sacrificing yourself to save others and getting medical expenses."

"If every brave person shares your thinking and takes the consequences themselves, then fewer and fewer people will dare to sacrifice themselves to save others, and society will become increasingly indifferent. This is very detrimental to our building of socialist spiritual civilization."

"This is similar to when Zigong rescued slaves from the State of Lu in the State of Wei and refused to accept compensation from the state, and Confucius criticized him for his wrongdoing."

Zigong was a student of Confucius and also a wealthy man in Lu. Once, when he passed by Wei, he found a man from Lu who had become a slave there. He spent money to redeem him and brought him back to Lu.

At that time, there was a law in the State of Lu that required the state to pay the ransom for redeeming its own people who were enslaved abroad.

Zigong believed that saving people was a virtue, and since he was wealthy, he did not go to collect the money.

When Confucius learned about this, he criticized Zigong, saying that what he did was wrong and that he had set a bad example. If other people in Lu found out that they couldn't get paid for saving people, they would stop saving people, which would be detrimental to the entire country.

"We want to set an example through this case."

"Of course, in addition to the principle that whoever benefits should pay the compensation, the government should also formulate relevant policies and laws to recognize and reward those who bravely perform heroic acts, and provide assistance to those who are injured as a result of such acts."

"Sanqi, listen to Secretary Liu. He's absolutely right."

As a "die-hard fan" of Liu Hongyi, Huang Yonghui said immediately.

"Yes, Platoon Commander!"

Li Sanqi obeyed Huang Yonghui's words without thinking twice.

"Yes, I completely agree with Secretary Liu's opinion. This is how it should be. We in Jiangkou should not only be the vanguard of the nation in the development of material civilization, but also in the development of spiritual civilization."

Li Yunhai said loudly.

"Comrade Li Sanqi, don't worry. Just because you sue the government doesn't mean the government will ignore you. The Civil Affairs Bureau will pay you the hardship allowance you deserve, and you won't lose a single cent."
