Features: Pushing open a heavy door, the humanistic philosophy is deeply rooted. The Chief Instructor of China's Anti-Hijacking Negotiation, Gao Feng, shows you the mental battle in violent hijacking incidents. "Every time a gun is fired, my heart aches," "The lives of hijackers and hostages are equally worth caring about!" Dedicated to all the hardworking people in the field of anti-violence, and to all those who use humanistic concepts to redeem lost souls! In people's impression, hijacking incidents are always associated with violence. Few people think about how it can make people shed tears, how it can revive the extinguished humanity, and how it can make us reflect on the right to life. When we enter the field of humanistic anti-hijacking negotiation, we will find that it is closely related to us: Is the hijacker worth sympathizing with? Should society take responsibility for such events? Is there a responsibility for each of us? Should we respect the right to life of the hijacker? In this proposition of humanism, there are endless topics and insights to share. Through the rescue of hostages and its extended process, we learn that we need to rescue the hostages, but more importantly, we need to redeem the souls of the hijackers. At the same time, we also rescue our own souls of killing. Based on a social reality perspective and incorporating a large number of real cases, this book provides an in-depth analysis of violent crimes and hijacking crimes existing in society, integrating a wealth of ideas born from long-term reflections. Starting with reflections on several contemporary hijacking cases and a review of ancient hijacking crimes in China as well as overseas abductions and terrorist hijackings, under the theme of humanism, the book comprehensively guides readers into a long-neglected field. From the inaccurate term "hijacker" to the profound concept of "" (), from the long-ignored "equality of all living beings" to the exploration of the socio-cultural background of violent crimes, from the highly humanistic mindset and language of negotiation experts in the "Four Golden Cases of Chinese Police" to the stark contrast between "making an example of one to warn the others" and "letting someone go," and from Professor Gao Feng's call for human nature to the idea that all members of society should jointly build a harmonious society, the book, with a heavy brushstroke, presents the heart's journey of an anti-hijacking negotiation expert and all those who long for the return of humanism.
