1、Should Life be Saved at the Cost of Others?Since ancient times, we have been educated with the belief that we should help those people in need, for it is a traditional virtue in China. However, this virtue also has been questioned, particular in recent years. People are pondering about these issues:

2、 Should life be saved at the cost of others? Is it worthy to do that etc. So, here, I would like to share some personal ideas with you all about this topic. From my perspective, the excellence of self-sacrifice is worthy for us to learn, but we should have “look-before-leap” spirit as to consider an

Whats more, we Chinese also have this kind of saying: Better save a life than build a seven-storied pagoda. That is to say, saving a life can bring us many benefits, such as mental comfort, fortune and aegis

So be ready to help others and others will be willing to aid you. Yet have you ever considered your ability to save a person? Is it beyond your capacity? I supp

6、ose few of us can remain calm in those emergency circumstances.

A college student named Zhanghua, in the Fourth Military Medical University of Xian, jumped into the septic tank to rescue an old farmer who accidentally fell into the pool, but unfortunately he lost his precious life. Zhanghuas behavior has bee

Many years later, I have also come across another piece of news reporting that three university students died because of the saving of a drown child. They were all true heroes! But at the same time, there also

10、arouse questions: should life be saved at the cost of others? or is it worthy to do that? From my perspective, it is a moral behavior regardless of the value and worth. It can not be estimated through any kind of style. It is this virtue that reflects the spirit of humanity and civilization of human

11、 society. Whats more, when the heroes try to save someone, they do not perceive the danger that lurks in the action, even if they sense it, the only thing in their mind is to help others. The question “Should life be saved at the cost of others” itself is a iffy one. Obviously, everyones life is as equal as others.
