In the “I listen to the traffic police” incident, the woman was given administrative detention for insults and privacy violation, upholding rationality in society.

Have you been following that recent “I listen to the traffic police” incident? In the end, the woman who kept loudly blaming the other party in the accident was given administrative detention!

Oh, you mean that minor collision on the bike where one side kept filming with a phone and scolded the other person like, “How did you even live to this age?” right? I remember the young man was super calm and just replied with five words.

Exactly—“I listen to the traffic police.” The people watching all felt he was in the right, but the woman not only refused to admit her fault, she even uploaded the video online, trying to use public opinion to crush him. In the end she was punished by law because she openly insulted him and violated his privacy.

That result really feels satisfying. In the past some people thought that in situations like this, as long as you shout louder and make a big scene, you can take advantage. This punishment clearly tells everyone that the path of “the louder you yell, the more you’re right” no longer works.

Yes, this case teaches us that in a conflict, the truly strong person is not the one who shouts the loudest, but the one who can stay rational and trust the rules. The young man looked like he was passively waiting, but in fact he handed the initiative over to the law from the very beginning.

And this is not just a personal victory in defending one’s rights. The timely intervention and handling by law enforcement also sends a message to all citizens: we should use rules and rationality to solve problems, not emotional blackmail. This foundation of social order is more important than anything.
