Honey, did you see the news? A man died suddenly while buying sex, and his family actually demanded over one million yuan from the woman.

I did. The court ultimately rejected the family’s request because it was a sudden death and there was no direct causal relationship with the woman.

kě shì可是jiā shǔ家属jué de觉得nǚ zǐ女子méi yǒu没有jí shí及时120yán wù延误leqiǎng jiù抢救

But the family thinks she didn’t call 120 in time and delayed the rescue.

The court found she reported to the police within ten minutes, fulfilling her basic duty. Medical evidence showed the cause of death was sudden death.

yuán lái rú cǐ原来如此qí shí其实nán zi男子zì jǐ自己yǒuwéi fǎ xíng wéi违法行为zhèdiǎnbù néng不能hū shì忽视ba

I see. The man himself also broke the law, and that can’t be ignored, right?

Right. Soliciting prostitution is illegal. The court also noted he must bear responsibility for the consequences of his own actions.

This case is thought-provoking; it reminds us that responsibility for illegal conduct can’t be shifted onto others.

Exactly. The law emphasizes evidence and causation; you can’t demand compensation out of emotion or sympathy.

Looks like learning some legal basics is important—at least to know which claims can stand.
