Clown and sin
Hot 1
Since google quit the mainland, baidu has reached at an unprecedentedly unmatched era. It operates that no one else could compete its absolute dominance in search engine. Meanwhile, no more competitive services provided to users. That is not a surprise to hear of the tragedy about the medical accident happened recently. The case, of which the young man at his twenty something used baidu to find a so called ideal hospital in Beijing with public trust which climes the ability to heal and alleviate his incurable illness-synovial sarcoma (I do not know what exact the disease is before this case), died of spread of malignant cells after receiving its treat.
A young man sank into misery and later found the hope, whose family borrowed huge amount money for this treatment, but finally ended up life with anger, desperation and sorrow. The hospital under the hypocritical shield declares the imported advanced foreign high bio-tech is the efficient method to treat the poor guy. It turns out that the bio-tech is nothing but a failure dumped by foreign study and research organization; meanwhile is revealed the medical service has been outsourced to unqualified private institution. The search engine refuse to admit its sin as it only offers the search results for users. The fact is the deliberate manipulation of intervening on the search result. As long as the higher price of anybody paid, the more frequently it would be displayed in the front page. No screening, money says the result. And the regulator always comes out to claim for responsibility of investigation after those things happened yet cannot bring a satisfied judgement. How much and huge the profits hid behind the scene? We just do not know.
This is not the first time we hear of such a case from baidu, while this is the worse one happened so far. Probably and usually, there would be another tragedy happen in the near future. And the current case is likely going to be vanished and faded away in public till the next one causes people’s unease. Apart from the censorship from bureaucracy and negligence which results in the bloody murder, we see human nature is naked and exposed to the public. Not only baidu, but also the regulator, those related hospitals are all guilty. Money sells their souls out, leaves them only the skeleton.
The ordinary people are only nothing but like an ant paled to compete multiple interests groups. I only pray and hope that my sin would be forgiven. At least, please, do not commit crime.

- The case about the young man who died because of improper treatment is also reported on overseas news worldwide. It is so sad that he believed and relied the dubious medical treatment for cancer which resulted in his death. People in general now have little faith in the official system. The news and public opinion is playing an important part of monitoring the officials.
The reputation of the officials have imporved in recent years and the services are have also improved. Unfortunately, once in a while there are some shocking reports like this one. Life is precious, especially that of a young person. The public interests must be safeguarded.

- That case is just only one of those news happened while we can not be treated fairly enough. Thanks to the internet that the case could be forwarded to many in a short time and finally caused a big news. If it happened decades ago, it might not cause a huge social response. Only hope that people can really own the dignity and right equally.

Google does not have meaning related to search engine. Google is just a swimming accessory and it is a strange name for a search engine.

- Yeah, that is a meaning cited from a old Chinese poem. So it named after "Baidu" in Chinese Pinyin. Very interesting. It just shows the relationship and acquaintance among people whatever they know each other or not, just believe there is the fate people can meet occasionally by chance. While now I do not see its aim of providing service to users. I just find many of ads and junk messages there.

And google surely has no meaning of the search engine. I just remember that the founders named that at the first beginning when they were asked to tell the investor what is the name of their product. They just messed up and named that one. Weird, but now it has developed into a huge company.
