What is a baby? A child eager to be eaten by an eagle.

The vulture "waiting for the opportunity" stared at the "hungry" boy.

There was once a South African freelancer named Kevin who liked photography. He took a photo with his camera and named it "Hungry Sultan", and won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in 1994. The picture shows a Sudanese boy lying on the ground because of hunger. Not far behind him, a vulture is eyeing up, waiting for the boy's death, and then eating and drinking.

After circulating on the Internet, more and more people saw this set of photos. But what followed was the accusation and abuse of Kevin. People think that he is cold-blooded, not only failing to help dying children, but also looking for the best shooting angle and time there.

Even though Kevin has repeatedly stressed that the photo is annotated, "the boy has a rescue assistant ring", someone will come to save him. In the end, he committed suicide because he could not bear the huge pressure of public opinion. Keyboard man on the Internet is like a "vulture eyeing up behind a boy", while Kevin himself has become a "boy who fell to the ground".

What happened to that little boy?

In fact, as Kevin said, the little boy is wearing a rescue bracelet. At that time, his mother was busy getting relief food, just not with the children. And Kevin didn't turn away after taking the photo. He waited in place for a while.

After more than twenty minutes, I found that the vulture still refused to leave, or Kevin drove the vulture away. It is understood that charitable organizations have been helping to take care of the little boy, although they can barely give him something to eat. But in wartime, we can't demand others with the lowest standards of the country. Unfortunately, the little boy finally had a high fever, and the charity organization failed to save this little life.
