Recently, due to Halloween streets, all major and small streets in Shanghai have started the atmosphere of Halloween activities, but this year's Halloween has been covered with a layer of sadness. In Shanghai, Disney, the most lively Halloween event, has been quarantined and controlled due to the epidemic, while many young lives in South Korea have disappeared due to Halloween events.
The news I saw when I opened my phone in the morning was all about stampede incidents in the evening Halloween event in Itaewon, South Korea. So far, 151 people have died and 86 people have been injured. Looking at the densely packed people standing on the narrow street in the picture, basically walking with people close to people, and my scalp became numb in an instant. This made me think that on the night of the Bund New Year's Eve in Shanghai in early 2015, the severe stampede accident occurred due to crowded crowds, killed 36 people and injured 49 people.

This accident in South Korea was very tragic. Most of the people participating in the event were only in their teens and twenties, including many foreigners living in Seoul, who would experience it. I saw many pictures and videos of the scene posted by Chinese compatriots on social networking sites, which were shocking

Some were lying on the ground and were rescued by their companions, some were carried away directly, and some saw firefighters taking turns to do cardiac resuscitation and gave up saving another person directly. Some people also watched their companions sit there motionlessly after being covered with white cloth, and the scene was in chaos. I can't imagine how painful it would be to die in front of me in this way and be powerless to do anything about my friend and my lover who was happily having fun with me the next moment.

Last night was destined to be a sleepless night, and many families were broken. I hope everyone will wake up when participating in this group activity, protect themselves and their companions. Only once in life, cherish them.
