Passerby ignored old man who was unconscious on road in China: Another Xiao Yueyue

[terranMarine]

I doubt that's the only reason for not helping.
I believe extortion and black mail is a real problem in China, but still to show any help even for a minute is disheartening.

That's because you have not seen those videos and wouldn't know about the extortion part.

This is so fcuked up I dont know what to say.

In the US always call 911 instead of physically help someone out when accident occur better to let the paramedic and police to handle it. Better be safe than sorry if your not qualify to treat someone, the accident victim family can sue you in court for negligent if person seriously injure or die during your help.

 

[Huaren]

I don't know about Pakistan or China. But in India white foreigners are treated better than Indian citizens. They get away with things which a local can't

Except if they are female, but then again they will be treated like any other females, at least cant blame indians to be racists in that regard.

 

[Steakhouse]

They should have call the police or paramedic to help the old man out.

 

[salarsikander]

O.O is it white booty or white man $$ they want??? I think Asians would get the same treatment they got money and they are spending it now.

Hi,
No, actually the one with money are far more worse and they treat other who are less privileged as sub-humans,
Unlike in western countries

It's called protecting your own arse. In China there have been cases of extortion by creating fake accidents and trying to lure those with kind hearts who are willing to help. A bunch of people would show up out of no where and along with the so called victim of the "accident" will start accusing you of causing him/her injuries and whilst trying to gain sympathy or eye witness from the crowd those gangs will threaten you by taking you to the police or pay up for the injuries.

there have been few instances helpers were falsely accused causing the harms to the injured subjects to extort money from helpers...as such the people of china keeps to themselves...there is a chinese saying 名哲保身 to play safe...

Need:

I doubt that's the only reason for not helping.

Isn't this one of the main reasons for the the proliferation of car cams in Russia?

新京报快讯(记者杨锋 实习生马金凤)2月1日下午4点30分，浙江玉环县一名老人摔倒在马路中间，8分钟时间内，4辆车和23名行人路过，除一位老人上前询问外，其余人都只是看看，无人搀扶。最终，老人遭一辆白色轿车拦腰碾过，并被拖行一段距离。
　　今日上午11点，新京报记者从玉环县委宣传部一负责人处了解，摔倒老人为当地一酗酒老人，被碾压后当场死亡。老人所在村的村主任也证实了此说法。村主任解释，无人扶是因为该老人是当地出了名的酒鬼，平时喝完酒常耍酒疯，耍无赖。

　　监控：8分钟无人扶

　　据事发监控视频显示，2月1日下午4时30分，一名老人身穿身穿睡衣，踉踉跄跄走过一个路口时，突然身体倾斜，重摔在地。8分钟时间内，共有4辆车和23名行人路过，但都只是看看，无人搀扶。

　　老人倒地5分钟后，一名过路司机发现老人躺在地上，下车查看路况后开走。期间，1名疑似认识老人的女子经过，并叫了老人，但老人并没反应。据浙江卫视报道，随后，这名妇女前往老人家中找人帮忙。

　　4时38分，一辆白色轿车突然在路口右拐，将老人拦腰碾压，并拖行了一段距离，在路人告知下，车子才停下。驾驶员下车查看后，随即报警。

　　今日上午11时许，玉环县委宣传部一负责人称，经初步调查，该老人当日因酗酒摔倒。目前，当地交警大队还在进一步的调查处理中。

　　村主任：无人敢扶

　　“他是我们当地出了名的酒鬼，虽然他死了，但我还是要说说。”今日上午，事发村村主任向新京报记者介绍，摔倒老人无人扶事出有因。

　　据他介绍，老人名叫陈喜文，今年57岁。村主任称，老人年轻时曾是一名泥水工，但后来因为酗酒，妻子也离开了他。

　　村主任称，酗酒后，老人常发酒疯耍无赖，和村里人吵架。以前也曾多次摔倒过。“扶起来后，他就说是别人推倒的，要别人赔钱，还跑到别人家里撒尿大便。”

　　村主任称，事发当天摔倒前，老人就在距离摔倒处不到20米的小店喝酒。“当场摔得鼻子耳朵里都是血。”

this may be the case, but the little girl Xiao incident was due to lack of empathy. I think that if the little girl was white, many Chinese will help her. Sad but true. If you don't respect your kind do not expect respect from others.

They should have call the police or paramedic to help the old man out.

True, no one even bothered. The Xiao girl incident video was disturbing. Not only people did not help, a car ran over her and did not even stop.

China's Infamous 'Good Samaritan' Case Gets a New Ending: Adam Minter - Bloomberg View

Xu Shuolan, a 65-year-old grandmother stepped off a bus in Nanjing, and fell to the ground. Just behind her was Peng Yu, a 26-year-old student. While others passed her by, Peng –- a self-described Good Samaritan -- rushed to her aid, accompanied her to the hospital and even paid her modest bill.

In thanks, Xu Shuolin -– a woman of modest means –- sued Peng for roughly $7,000 in medical expenses she claimed were due to the fall, including broken bones. The judge, in turn, invented a new “everyday experience” standard in the law, suggesting that nobody pays a stranger’s medical expenses without a guilty conscience. And on that basis, he ruled against Peng Yu, turning the case into shorthand for the decline of Chinese morality.

There is no limit to human apathy... there is some evil deep inside us all.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

When million people in the Middle East are dying because of the stupid proxy war, no one gives a fck about it, now some people suddenly became the saints concerning about few isolated incidents in China?

 

[Rohit Patel]

This is worse. This girl Xiao Yueyue was overrun deliberately by 2 PRC drivers. Everyone watched her die and no one moved her one side.

This was the most sickening video I have ever seen in my life. Ashamed of being a human; can't articulate my emotions right now...I'm a sensitive kind of person, still I gathered my courage to see the video and I regret it now, cuz that scene will surely resonate in my mind for a long time! I just hope that she is alive right now, although I highly doubt about it.
