The 20th day of October 2011 was one of the darkest days in Chinese society. The whole country witnessed, with our heart full of tears, the death of a little 2 years old girl, named Yue Yue. She was the victim of the most horrible incident anyone could ever experience. This innocent little girl was run over by a truck twice, then ignored by 18 bystanders while laying on the floor, and run over again by another passing truck.
People are afraid to help a fellow citizen in trouble because by getting involved, they take the risk of it costing them money. It is also not uncommon for some people in China to rob a good samaritan trying to help.
It is terrifying to see how all aspects of life and society, in China, revolve around money. Making money, getting money from others, and saving money.
In a society with no religious values, poor social training, and an even poorer sense of community or civic values, how irresponsible pursuit of wealth is turning people's compassion, humanity, morals and values into materialism, selfishness, and lack of values to the point of criminality. Which matters most? Is one the result of the other?
I must warn you, the video is very disturbing.
