Little girl hit by car in Foshan is left to die by passersby

Star's picture

The China Daily Newspaper Online

This story sickens me. It really does. A little girl is hit by a car in Foshan and a dozen people walk by but do nothing to help her. And then she is hit again. If you want to know a major difference between the east and west, this is it! How could so many people just leave her there like a piece of trash? 

If you haven't read the story, you can see it in the China Daily by clicking here. I've heard all the excuses: maybe it was a trick, maybe they couldn't see the girl clearly, etc. There is NO excuse for this. It's downright despicable.

Here is a video from Youku. Warning, this video may be graphic:

Hearing this bag news ,I was shocked and sad .However , I think such tragedy will happen in China some day. Because there are more and more bad guys in China. They change ways to cheat or rob people. In order to protest themselves, more and more people dear not help others and become more indifferent.

I think that there have always been bad people in China(and everywhere). Bit sometimes this ugliness bubbles to the surface on a national stage and we are all shocked by the inhumanity of humanity.

It is the ugly side of human nature that some persons pay no regard to the life of the little girl who make me sick.How can they stand by with folded arms! And it did make me fall into deep thought.

Now the nonstandard social morality, have really need to change moment. However, in foshan city of guangdong province, or to warm tone of incentive, or push into sin and powerful way to help to reverse the situation, we should calm, whether this is the reverse of the ultimate social climate solutions? First of all, the heart of the cold-blooded, moral decay, just citizens insecurity final result of wall wart, by "fruit" force "for" change, "has to avoid the sorrow. Again see legislation. Indeed, with law "take over" restriction moral, from Germany, Italy to the United States all have custom.

Human nature? I feel sad for small jinfenshijia will, I sad for the China children, our traditional virtue which go to? Our fine tradition which go to? Every day we hang on the tip of my tongue, morality? Our little yue yue too poor, do not say first jinfenshijia will whether parents care boy, let's passerby driver? You conscience? Small yue yue.. All the way walk good..

I am worried about chinese education.I am guilty to see the terrible accident.I hope that these things don't happen again in children.

Joanne's picture

As a matter of fact ,because of lacking of parents attention,the poor girl went to the street.In addition,there are a lot of questions in chinese peoples moral action.

Joanne's picture

Do people still have conscience?I consciender that our society became more and more dangerous.Who can protect our lives?

I am really sorry to see this kind of things happened in China. I have to say that the unlucky girl is too little to suffer from so terriblely accident and indiference. But to be honest,I am really can't believe this kind of things happened in China ,I just wonder:Where is the soul of these people?

Zakumi's picture

Various friends of mine reacted to this sad event and emailed me. I was shocked to hear that it was on the TV headlines all over the world - amongst others in South Africa, Canada, Thailand, and on the BBC and CNN. They said the world was shocked too ... but probably for a different reason. This is China, the upcoming giant, probably the world's next super power ... but with fundamental cracks deep within her inner self.

It appears the world is holding its breath ... How is China going to rise up from this? Quickly make a few scapegoats and punish them so that the world can see there's "justice" in China? Denial again, as usual? Would the world ever trust China? My guess ... not if China is still not prepared to do some deep self-examination and implement the much needed cures.

I rest my case (for now at least).

I was totally shocked when I heard this terrible news!I couldn't believe my eyes.
Why didn't the people help her?Where was their conscience?I am really angry!

Wang Xinpei's picture

I'm very disappointed about it.I rally don't known to say.I just want to tell that people that the god knows everthing you did.

Sula's picture

I think it is so terrible, i cannot believe that it happen in our country.maybe people will think it is a trap.I appeal the policemen should try their best to find out the driver,and the people must try our best to help the little girl, maybe we should learn how to take care of person around us.This event conveys a thought-provoking social problem,i think we must pay attention to it.

Phoebe's picture

It's unbelievable that there is no people to rescue this little girl until the old woman help her.Today the hospital official announced that this only two years old girl was diagnosed to be died.I have felt sad about hearing that.According to this accident,we should learned that parents ought to responsible to take care of their own children.Then the drivers could not escape to bear the liability for the injured girl.What's more,it's cruel that the little girl could not gain the help from the eighteen passerby in time.That's a great tragedy.Anyway,let's mourn her.

I heard a small Yue Yue's death news mood for a long time can not be calm,I wish the good life of peace,Wish Aunt Chen longevity and happiness life!May the well-intentioned people life is safe!

Eve's picture

This news is really sad. We also talked about this in our class yesterday.
Why so many people just stood by and seeing the girl was going die? They were adults ,while this little girl was weak, helpless and at the edge of death, what confused me was how could they had their hearts to face this tragedy. This situation should be accused. Are people tend to being cold-blooded in this society or what leads to this ?
This morning, i learned that this girl was leaving this world. I cried for many reasons, Our human nature should not have expressed like this. we should wake up the purity in our human's deep-inside.
Wish the girl happy in the heaven.

SherryChan's picture

So terrible news!!!!The society is developing,but the morality is descending.

Bill zhang's picture

Small Yue Yue morning leave let us feel very sad.Let us remember her,
wish her all the way.Although she has left us, but it has left us many reflections.Sincerely hope not to see similar things happening.

coco's picture

The little girl died yesterday which makes me very sad. I hope the people can be more warm-hearted and can help each other.Seeing the people being indifferent really hurts me,I don't want this thing happen again.

zhuyajie's picture

In fact i believe good people is most.most of people have ambivience.But we also should help this girl.At least call 110 is right

Jiao Yahui's picture

My first reaction is just feel sad about that little girl.We cannot say it's the passers' fault.At the same time, i think there is something going wrong with the society.Of course it is just my own thought.

-Joan-'s picture

Today I heart that the little girl had passed away.I feel very sorry for that.I can not understand the way people did.I just want to say,I hate this behaviour.I think that the people who did not help the girl wiil be condemned by the sociaty and their conscience.

chancy's picture

The latset news said she has passed way today. We can only pray for her to live a complete and pleasure life next time.

Zakumi's picture

Yes, it's so sad that she's passed away. That little body couldn't handle all that stress and injury.

But Chancy, what I want to say, is that it'll not help now to pray for her, because SHE IS DEAD. She needed the prayers when she was still alive. Her destiny is now sealed.

chancy's picture

Maybe I have myself misunderstood. I was trying to say that we can pray for her to have a better life in the paradise.

yangxiaoman's picture

why people took blind eyes to it ,when i see that ,i am also so hittted ,like a thunder, like hot and cat rain ,show sympathy to the baby,it is worthy to thinking about what is the matter with our hunan beings ?

Hester2's picture

I have watched the video you have upload.How terrible it is.Like everyone else,i can not believe that.How can the passer-by turn a blind eye?That is a life.what they need to do is just to phone the ambulance.How indifferent they are.I felt very disappointed.

Sue Katherine Earl's picture

Without hestitation ,I will help her.Calling the 120 and 110 rapidly.

Sue Katherine Earl's picture

#refuse indifference warm everyone# Are human selfish ? Have your heart lost ?Are you cool?Desperated。。。Desperated。。。。What‘s wrong with us?Who’s care?Praying for YueYue in heaven。。。To be warm-hearted。。。。Save others,save your heart!

This is China.

Bill zhang's picture

A good conscience as a Chinese we can't from ruin,As a contemporary college students we can't from ruin,As with 5000 civilized countries we can't from ruin,As a passionate Chinese we can't from ruin.So let us work together to build our harmonious society!

Darren's picture

Bill? Your English does not make sense at all. I suggest you use Chinese in this case.

wangfengying's picture

When I see the story,I'm very disappointed.I do not understand why those people so cold that they could have looked at a cute little girl down in front of their own, but just ignore it.If at that time the little girl was promptly sent to the hospital, she would not die. It is people's indifference, resulting in this tragedy.

zhangwang's picture

When I hear the news,I am sympathy for the little child.At the same time,I am angry for the behavior of the driver fled and passer-by ignorance.I want to ask these witnesses,if is your daughter lie there,can you ignore it?As a people,we should have the basic moral.last,let us pray foy the little girl.

Darren's picture

Zhangwang, I have to say this "sympathy is a noun". I is a pro noun. We can't use a noun to describe a noun.

ruoqing2324's picture

I'm with a trembling heart when I saw the video a car running over the little baby's body,The little girl's blood flows quickly on the ground, I thought the driver will get off to save the baby,but to my beverydisappointed,he get away.Especially I want to understand why many passerbys saw this seriously injured girl but like saw nothing has happened,then letting the baby hurt again.Does the people's heart be eaten by dog? Does There is something more precious than life? I just want ask the unfeeling people if someday you child suffer the same situation,won't you upset? last,I really hope that thoes unfeeling people could weak up and the unfortunate baby will get well soon.

Zhang Qianru's picture

I can't believe to have such things happen, how could the Chinese people is, it can't say the whole society has the problem, can only say that happened in these local people's quality is really have a problem, especially the first driver, I don't know what he wanted to, unexpectedly accelerated hit her! Watch the video, I feel so terrible, I hope that this is just a special case, our Chinese people is not so ruthless!

金英Daisy's picture

After watching this,I feel very sad and I almost want to cry. I don't understand why the people didn't help the lovely child.Just put up your hand, and you can save a child's life.I don't know what can express my moon at present.

Eleanor's picture

How could they passed by without any concerns!If I were them,I would call an ambulance and pick up something to separate out the place where the girl was.She was so little that her mother should accompany with her and take care of her.

Lara's picture

After reading this news, gave me strong feelings.I want to know if the drivers have social responsibility and compassion have pedestrians.I can not believe .I do not understand why so many people see this poor girl down the road no one to call 120.This is so terrible.This incident has caused me to ponder, to think of this society.I think everyone should be compassionate and responsible.Let the world is full of love!

000lin's picture

I can't believe chinese people will do this thing .Are they crazy? Weather they have no heart or conscience?? It is a life! How did they can do like this? they are evil and indiffierent.

Darren's picture

Speaking will not help this girl, or her family. However it is good for us all to express our feelings.

Students of the world you are the future. "Less we forget never again".

Action is needed justice must be served.

Can we learn from this?

Will it happen again?

I am not a religious man, but I said a prayer for China today. Just in case god does exist.

Good night China may you learn from this.

Annabelle's picture

I want to cry,I want to say sorry for this litter but strong life,I also want to appreciate to the old woman.I can just to say our people indifferent to life,srangers have no sympthy,I am really angry with it,I hope our people can think high value of life,on mater who you are,no mater where you are.

Michelle Chan's picture

Dear Nathan,will you talk this news in your American history class? Please don't play the video. This news made us feel sad. I don't want to cry again.Thanx.

Zakumi's picture

I've refrained to comment further, until now. It appears most of us are still in shock about this unbelievably inhumane thing we have witnessed here. I'd like to say something on some comments I've read above.

Darren mentioned a similar event with an old lady he's witnessed himself. He said too: "I feel the story above has highlighted serious issues here with regards to humanity, or the lack of it. How sad for China to see her people acting in such a callous manner ..."

Star: "This is what makes me think that there is something more here than just human nature. That all of these actors could have made such poor choices forces one to wonder about the society here. Is there something fundamentally wrong with the way that people think about each other here?"

Of course this is not an isolated incident. Many more similar incidents had been recorded over the last few years. I don't have to remind the reader about the 22-year old Chinese male student running a 34-year old lady on a bike over in his new Chev Cruze about 4 months ago, then getting out of his car and stabbing her to death so that she can't identify him (and not stabbing her once, but 17 times). That falls in the same category as what'd happened to this little girl.

Yes, this is much, much deeper than the average person thinks. Something is fundamentally wrong with the Chinese thinking and their actions. Somewhere China has lost her soul. I'm not allowed to say here what I really know and believe, but I guess I can say this, that this was not the first time, and surely it was also not the last time that we'll witness incidents like these in China. This is the price the Chinese people pay for mistakes of the past and the fact that the powers that be continue to rule in denial thereof. A country that's done to her people what this country has experienced, should realize that it's left some soulless generations that'll act against their fellow citizens as if their lives are worth nothing, just as they'd experienced in the history of this country. I wish I could express myself without restraint.

I feel sad for the Chinese people that are innocent of this, but had to witness these callous and heartless acts from their fellowmen in embarrassment (as the world knows too now). I'd like to believe that the new generations of Chinese people (amongst others, those we are teaching) are not like that. But then, what about that 22-year old student ... How could it be possible that the system he was exposed to, turned him also into a heartless monster when under such immense pressure ...?

No, this is not western thought. Look what three Chinese students remarked:
Boston: "Most of the Chinese know this kind of indifferent thing happens frequently in China."
Cheng Yang: "Recently I have heard lots of things like this.I can not help asking myself: what is wrong with chinese people?"
Terry: "This is a moral problem".

And no, I'm not criminalizing China. If it wasn't for my feelings toward China, I wouldn't have cared much (about the reason behind this phenomenon). Just as much as all the other readers, I'd like to see this never happening again, but that's total naivety, as one has to address the root of the problem. And I know (and some of you do too) that no ordinary citizen of this country will change this. It has to come from the powers that be; past leaders were responsible; the solution lie in the hands of the current and future leaders.

I'll end off with the words from another student above: "China, my heart is bleeding ..."

Tylinier's picture

When you hear the news ,what is your feeling?Ijust can not believe that if you say you will make the same reaction with the people who are in the accident.because I think these guys are lose there basic belief,but more good person exist in China,so we should feel hate about this phenomenon.Take out your society responsibility.

Terry's picture

with costantly development of the economy, it is obvious that some problems appear in our daily life,a terrible accident happen in the city of foshan,in guangzhu province several days ago when a little girl was attacked by a vehicle and lying on the road,but passers-by across the road ingored her and passed by,why the thing happened in china ?
to be honest, this is a moral problem, it isn't sloved in short time, chinese traditional virtue is not highly paid attention to the native people so that it result from the shortness of cultivating the good quality, witn the new value and thoughts was constantly delivered into the china, more and most native people are westernized and don't put forth chinese virtue.
in all,we should think of ourselves

HuQiuyue's picture

I have seen this video for many times. But I have been hesitant to evaluate it. My heart has been bleeding. A young life could disappear at any time. Too sad.
When I saw those people who do not help the girl, I know his conscience was defeated. They fear that this kind of thing associated with them. Because they see this kind of news, the people who has difficulty framed those who have ever helped them.Their conscience afflicted. But they are afraid they are the next person. I sometimes hate the media. If the media didn't tried to render such negative news, this things may not happen today. Media is a double edged sword.
I hope the country can improve this area of law.We can not let a good man has been framed. We can not beat their own conscience.
