Where's the Good Samaritan?

on Friday, October 21, 2011

     China is on hot-seat now.. from the Yue Yue incident.. Yue Yue was the little girl that hit by 2 vehicle and 18 people just passed by and no one help.. The CCTV video showing the poor girls fate became viral and everyone who saw the video became outraged and asking why? and lot of why.. 

    This is not the first time that happened to China many other cases with the same stories and treat the citizen just like some sick stray animals.

Three years ago, A friend of mine went to China on business. He was met by Chinese businessmen in a driver driven car. He enjoy sight seeing as they head for their destination. As they were driving in heavy traffic he notice something bizarre and  he was shocked to see a body lying beside the road. It was a woman who had been hit and killed by a car. No one was dealing with it. Chinese people jsut passing her. He pointed it out to his companions as he panic and get worried to the victim and thinking that the lady is still alive and will survive if they help. His business partner stop him and say to him that ignore her. They told him not to worry the police would come and 'collect' the body in due course.  Many people in China are hesitant to help people who appear to be in distress over fears they will be blamed.

 High-profile law suits have ended with good Samaritans ordered to pay hefty fines to individuals they sought to help.


 My friend saw that lady  in the morning. In the late afternoon they drove back the same route and he saw the body still lying there. He got shocked and devastated. My friend decided not to do business with a country that was so casual about the death of a human.
My friends  father spent five years in the East. He always said that life was very cheap there, especially in China. and that's the harsh reality...He saw more than 4 times of the same incident just like Yue Yue..
