Video of old man knocking out “crispy” young man with one punch goes viral after being trapped in Jiuzhaigou Valley

Recently, a physical conflict broke out between tourists in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, Sichuan Province. An elderly man repeatedly punched a young man and made him fall to the ground. A man and a woman were bleeding from their faces. After the video came out, some netizens said, “This old man looks really strong. He is not old at all. On the contrary, college students are very fragile now.” The dispute over the location of the photo turned violent, sparking heated discussions on the internet as well.

comprehensive dahe news andhong kong 01 reported that the incident occurred on the afternoon of November 2 at a viewing platform in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. Video posted online shows an elderly man wearing a blue coat suddenly punching a young man wearing a purple coat several times. The young man immediately fell on the ground. The witnesses at the scene couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa is too powerful” and “Grandpa is too fierce.”

Another video captured the scene after the incident. A young woman wearing a white coat wiped the blood on her face with a tissue, while the man dressed in purple was clearly bleeding from the mouth and had multiple injuries on his face. The man became emotional and shouted at the elderly man who was trying to get away, “Don’t leave, don’t leave, hit him like that, don’t leave!” Some tourists present at the spot said, “Until this matter is resolved, no one can leave from there.” Someone immediately called the police and told the police, “This is Jiuzhaigou, and a child has been injured.”

There are also different opinions on the reason for the fight. Some netizens and witnesses at the scene said that the young man was suspected of being dissatisfied with the elderly man who jumped in line while queuing, so he tried to stop him. The altercation between the two parties turned into a fight. However, Jiuzhaigou County Public Security Bureau told the media that the dispute between the two parties was over “better photo location” and that the argument escalated from a verbal argument to a fight and both parties were responsible. The police also said that according to the information received by the police station, it was the youth party who took action first, and the specific responsibility still needs to be investigated and clarified.

Staff at Jiuzhaigou Scenic Spot confirmed the incident occurred and said the scenic spot immediately assisted the person involved by calling the police. The staff pointed out that each scenic spot has personnel deployed to maintain order, but the scenic spot has no law enforcement power, and incidents involving public safety must be handled by public security organs.

As for the injuries, Hong Kong 01 quoted information circulated on the Internet that the young man was suspected to have a broken nose and injured lip, and another woman had a broken nose. Another source said the man needed 10 stitches on his lip, and the relevant conditions still needed to be further confirmed.

Observation decks at popular scenic spots are often places where tourists compete to take photographs, but queuing, framing or location disputes should not be a reason to take action. Netizens were amazed at the strength of the elderly man’s punch, which certainly reflects the visual impact of the film. What really deserves attention is how tourists maintain basic order and whether they can control their emotions to avoid injuries caused by impulse when encountering disputes.
