“86%” of Chinese Would Help Crushed Girl

china-girl-crushing-1.jpg

China has been revolted by the callous and repeated hit-and-run crushing of a little girl and the subsequent unwillingness of passers-by to so much as acknowledge her bloodied body lying in the middle of the road, but according to surveys some 86% of Chinese claim they would help such an accident victim.

china-girl-crushing-2.jpg

In a pathetic attempt to salvage a hero from the incident a media circus has erupted around the only woman to help the girl – despite the fact she wants nothing to do with any fame arising from an act of kindness she regards as a matter of course.

There are mixed reports over what actually happened to the girl – reports range from death to recovery, although the consensus now appears to be that she is brain-dead and in critical condition, with massive injuries and poor chances for recovery. The two motorists who ran over her have since been arrested.

Chinese media has expressed moral outrage, although widely publicised cases where good Samaritans have been forced to pay the medical costs of the people they helped or accused of actually injuring them in the first place have been highlighted as a partial explanation for the evident moral vacuum which is mainland China.

Online, the reaction to the incident is mainly one of outrage, although if the results of one survey of Internet users conducted on a major Chinese portal are to be believed, the majority of Chinese would actually help such a victim:

china-girl-crushing-3.jpgCall the police: 66.4%

Unhesitatingly help them and call for help from those around: 19.5%

I’d be afraid of being accused of perpetrating the crime, so I’d flee immediately: 6.9%

Wouldn’t know until I was there: 3.8%

Leave the frightening place immediately: 2.2%

Just stand around and watch: 0.6%

Pretend not to be interested and just stand around and watch: 0.6%

According to police, the girl was ignored by 18 passers-by before being helped – some simple application of probability theory suggests that with an 86% chance of someone assisting in some way, the chances of being ignored by 18 successive people are rather low, so either the girl was incredibly unlucky or the survey respondents incredibly deluded or dishonest…

    If she recovers how will she live a normal life...? The fucking chinese already ruined and mutilated her body. If she dies now then she'll probably be treated a billion times better in heaven

    100% she won't be in heaven because no one got to her in time to convert her to the christian God so she never excepted Jesus as her personal savior. Oh bad luck Christians, maybe you'll get one next time. I'm so glad there is a religion that all nonchristians go to hell to burn forever. I guess the little sinner baby girl is going to have to burn and suffer forever. She'll have lots of company though, say the 3 million or so other filthy non christian children who selfishly starved to death before a western missionary got to their minds. So anyway, fuck you. I hope you learned a valuable lesson today. God is a selfish ego maniac and all his followers are vengeful sheep. Try buddhism, it is only the most peaceful and kind spirituality on this earth. I am sorry for you.

    OP is right. If you try to help you could KILL the person by dislocating a floating or shattered vertebrae. Doing absolutely nothing, unless you are trained IS the way to go.

    I doubt you would get sued in china since the place is not as jew-infected as the US, but the fact the good intentions could hurt still stands.

    She was run over by a car. How is a passerby without a car going to be accused? There is also the matter of the size of the wounds compared to the size of the wheels and what about traces of blood and human tissue on the tires?
    Even if it's china the simplest investigation would prove you innocent.
    I could understand if it was someone beaten up in an alley and you had precedents for assault... but in this case that doesn't apply.

    Also, was that a hidden camera? If you are a local you'd probably know there's one in that spot to prove your innocence.

    Furthermore, the place was full of people who could be asked to testimony...

    There is a Chinese law that allows cases to be argued as "if you weren't involved in the incident, you wouldn't be helping the victim" and the victims have won money from Good Samaritans that way in the past. This is what drives some people away from helping.

    Surveillance camera caught the action.

    But fear not, the girl has a brother; the family is totally fine under the One Child Policy.

    Its not only china it happens all over, Good Samaritan laws are crap and your rolling the dice that you will not be sued to pay even if you had nothing to do with the original accident. The law here in the States are simple. If you do not help your not liable, if you help, you better f*cken know what your doing because your going to be libel if you cause any injury after the fact.

    This is very common in China, and other parts of the world, where someone would sue anyone they can in order to get some extra cash.

    Although, there was no excuse for this particular situation because it's clear that she was ran over by a car or two. Since passerby pedestrians cannot possibly crush her legs by accidently knocking her over, you can't possibly be blamed for it.

    People can speculate and accuse, but when the time comes, you'd be proven innocent.

    It's sad to say but....I almost wonder if letting her live would be too cruel. She's never gonna have a normal life again, I mean did you see the way she was bending at the hip in that video, when that lady was pulling her arms to sit up? That basically means her spine is 10 kinds of fucked up.

    If they have -any- kind of genuine shame for what their countrymen have done, they should instate cruel and unusual punishment for this occasion. Otherwise, they're just flattering themselves so the rest of the world doesn't start talking seriously about bombing them off the face of the planet.

    Not so sure about Taiwan making bootlegs and ripoffs, that's mostly the Communists' forte.

    Taiwan mostly deals with "non-bootleg" hardware like computer motherboards, graphic cards, and memory (RAM). MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, Acer, FSP, ECS, Kingston, G.Skill, ASRock, Geil, Biostar, Thermaltake, Lite-On, Transcend, etc. are all Taiwanese.

    And then there's TSMC, the world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry.

    Playing Mr. Politically correct for yourself to fit an arguement based on prejudice and hate is no excuse for it. Paedophiles aren't child molestors but is used for the term for it's ease of use. If you want to get get down to it then calling Americans "Overweight ignorant scum buckets" isn't racist. Because the only race on the deadbeat planet is Humans.

    Applying the pollitcally correct to suit your needs is just an excuse to allow yourself to be free of what you say. Racism in it's use of term is used for the sake of highlighting a form of prejudice towards a specific ethnic group. It's an accepted social term to describe one like so. Instead of just leaving off with a haughty reponse. At least provide a better term for such people then instead of racist/racism.

    This is actually a well known psychological phenomenon, the bystander effect. And it happens everywhere. Last year a homeless man in New York was stabbed while helping a woman being robbed at knife point. The woman and murderer ran off and he died on the sidewalk as people literally walked past. One guy took cell phone pictures. Another shook him and, realizing he had bled to death, walked away, no police call, no nothing. Firefighters found the body an hour and a half after the attack. It's not that these people were malevolent or abnormal; maybe delusional, but not bad. People in large groups just assume someone else will fix a problem like this. The larger the group, the higher the chance they won't bother. I mean, why should I do something? Someone else is clearly on the problem anyways, or I wasn't here first, or someone else will know what people to call and how to help the victim, or I have important stuff to take care of and I don't really like blood anyways. You ever drive past a wreck that didn't have police or EMS on the scene? I know I have. Different scale obviously, but same phenomenon.

    Do you have supporting evidence for this, or are you spewing nonsense out of your mouth out of rage? Because there have been cases already of people in China who took the risk and lost. If you want to be such a good samaritan, go to China and start helping people in need. Go play the hero. But don't go complaining when your ass is prosecuted and sued for doing so. I despise vocal hypocrites that can only talk but won't do a thing. Overly emotional rage doesn't get you anywhere.

    Some of you people are so ignorant from emotional outbursts that I can't help but feel less confident for the next generation. I'm guessing you're not a father or mother. Because if you were you'd think twice about about "Fucking the likely punishment if you can save a 2 year old". Do you think that only "YOU" yourself would be affected? You really want to put your family in the line of fire for your single act of heroism? If you were mature enough, you'd understand that playing hero and being the only one to suffer doesn't happen in real life as often as films or anime portray it.

    Also to the people applying 1st world standards to 3rd worlds. Get off your high horse, if not go do something about it. Or do you have no empathetic value to those living in less unfortunate circumstances? No? Then maybe your mental comprehension skills just isn't mature enough to think things through a little more without being overpowered by feelings and going all racist.

    I'm disgusted and all about this injustice done to the little girl, but some of you people irks me just as much by your ideal sense of the world. Grow up.

    Its ironic you call out someone as hypocrites and then go and ask them to go help. I assume you are chinese, but what are YOU doing about it? What are you doing to help?
    You are asking for proof as if the video didn't prove it enough? But didn't you just testified to it yourself? By doing nothing you perpetuate it and prove it every time. You are also suggesting that COMPASSION and SELFLESSNESS are traits only 1st world countries have. And china is a 3rd world country? Oh how the 2nd largest economy have fallen. Boasting how much 1st world countries are indebted to them. Still a third world? So much for communism, for the greater good and all that. What you really mean to say is CHINESE people itself lacks COMPASSION and SELFLESSNESS.

    And an important fact that seems moronic. Good samaritans gets punish for helping? Do you not realized how stupid that is? China is the only country i know that breeds such a backwards culture that punishes good samaritans. Is it real or just a convenient excuse? And why aren't anyone doing anything about it? Not you, you said so yourself that you're useless. The way that it seems so ingrained in the chinese pedestrian mindset that it even appears in online surveys tells that its been happening for A LONG TIME. But someone else should have noticed how stupid it is, right? Oh right, human rights advocates don't do shit in china because they are in JAIL are labeled DISSIDENTS. Admit it, this is the CHINESE STATUS QUO and the chinese are ENABLING it and PERPETUATING the tragedy.

    As for foreigners going there help. Im sure the chines government minders would love that. There are already people who trying to help but it be easier if the chinese government wasn't obstructing efforts or covering up those who do need help.

    Another point. why didn't no one CALLED FOR HELP? Its not just 19 people there. Its a market place, with STORES with SHOPKEEPERS and CUSTOMERS. Most of whom could witness the tragedy right from the store. They've had to be willfully blind to say its a SCAM even then.

    Even so, no one called the police or ambulance from their store? How much risk is that compared to burning or drowning? How much risk is calling anonymously?

    Failing that, its a store Im sure they could find a bag to cover their faces and move the child to a hospital or atleast to a safer part of the street. No, not even that. It took a random passerby to help. So much for mindful shopkeepers who cares more for their goods than a bleeding child on the road screaming her life out.

    If society, specifically the chinese one, can't be blamed for that then what is?

    Did you even read what I said or were you to raged up to even understand what I said. Throwing a strawmans and a tantrum shows that you are just side stepping the problems I pointed out with you people.

    A single video? Are you in grade school that you have to rely on just a single video to prove that only Chinese people are like that? Then I assume that you already have a set bias against the Chinese without even thinking that this can happen anywhere whether we see it or not. But your bias is quite obvious since you so love picking out the Chinese are incompassionate and selfish. Or is that as far as your comprehension skills can go that you rely on a single video to base your assumptions on? I was crtisizing the fact that anyone would say only in China would happen can't prove it. Or can you prove to me that you know of every single incident that happens accross the world that involved someone in such situation and the victim got aid? The fact that you believe China isn't still calssed as a 3rd World tells me enough you know nothing of social and economic growth and population dsiparity.

    Suggesting that only 1st world countries have selflessness and compassion? You're just throwing words in my mouth there. I guess your capability to understand the meaning behind "less unfortunate circumstances" is benign. Circumstances involve the corrupt government and the backwards ass law that aiding someone can land you in a shooting field or being punished. If you weren't living in a cave you'd understand that this also involves the the hardship that human rights groups face because of the government. But I guess you didn't understand that since you were too engrossed in laying into me for saying things I didn't say.

    Why aren't I doing anything about it? Because I'm not that much of a hypocrite that I'd condemn the citizens for the governments inhumane laws that puts a ball and chain over the average Chinese mainlander and act like I could do better in their shoes. You think you can do better than the Chinese mainlanders on their grounds? Because that's what you're suggesting right there, if so go prove your metal. Go fight against the government. Go live in China. Let's see how much you can do with the government down on your neck almost every living second of your life.

    All you've done is throw strawmans at me, put words in my mouth and quite obiviously showed you have a hate or dislike for the average Chinese and have been implying so from the start. Your racist undertones only proves to me that you know nothing about the situations and are jumping the bandwagon of "Durr Chinese people are heartless drones". The fact that you assume I'm Chinese is enough of evidence that you wanted to pick me out to lash with your Anti-Chinese swing. If anything you've just proved yourself to be another person in the midst of emotional rage who can't discren the reality from ideals.

    Now this I can work with. This is a lot better than your first reply. My reply to 17:02 is harsh but if I misundertood you then fair enough I am at fault and I apologize. That is if that one actually appears before this one does.

    Again this comes down to civilian fear of the state. But not just that. The police can be just as corrupt. The problem is that when you have so many public services that is controlled by the state, how can you trust them, especially that of China? China is one of the largest, if not has the largest number of corrupt suits in government and public services (Can't remember who, but a politician admitted that). Triads also have infulence in the police force which makes going to the police a 50/50. That's what makes it so difficult other than have a heavy ass lawsuit that can hit you in the face. When you have both criminal organizations and corrupt politicians working together with the public services. Just "seeing" an accident could find you or your family dead the next day.

    Put it this way, if you lived in fear from the government and even your own public service and scams from Triads. It's going to be risky to do anything. If the Triads have a hand in it and the child was an abducted child being used as a "Child Beggar". You really are risking your whole family for even seeing it, never mind going to aid. That's how deep the poison has reached in state and public services. You can't go to the police in fear they're in league with the Triads and the government isn't going to do anything. In a way the "If you aid the injured you will be held responsible" is an advantage to all the corrupt politicians in league with Triads. Which let's them maim, kill, target, blackmail anyone they see fit with little to no repercussions. I don't think I need to tell you this, but numerous people have gone missing just being a witness and nothing more.

    The reality is, unless there's some inside upheaveal of the current governing state to rid the corrupt politicians, officers and so forth. People will live in continuous fear and turn a blind eye as much as possible. Which is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Most likely if someone did challange the current state and tries to wipe out the poison. They won't be around for much longer. You'll be making a lot of enemies. In both officals and the underground. If you're not gonna end up dead you'll be locked up for a crime you never did.

    So basically in a country of 1.5 Billion its run by the triad and corrupt politicians. I get it now.

    What you are saying is China is more like Mexico now but without the gun battles and beheading, yet. Violence there happen right in front of everyone as a demonstration. But unlike Mexico, theres no overt intimadation there when the incident happen. Its also plain to see she is crushed under two vehicles. The drivers also lacks firearms besides the fact the they SLOWLY got away and left. And some more reading tells the little girl was the DAUGHTER OF A SHOPKEEPER there. I doubt other store clerks can truthfully say they don't know her.

    Even so whats with the response of the passerby or shopkeepers. The passerbys completely ignored her as if some roadkill.
    And again no calling for help from a ambulance/hospital or is that triad-runned too?
    The other shopkeepers couldn't inform her MOTHER who was in their nearby store?

    Nevermind triads, do chinese don't even trust their NEIGHBORS?

    Triads actually have a hand in hospitals aswell sadly. I don't remember the details that well but there was a few cases where doctors were reprimanded with triads when they were caught in backdoor dealings in drugs. Like I said if you knew how much of a hand these kind of people have in politics and public services as said previously, any person living there would think twice about going to hospitals.

    As for the store clerks around. I honestly don't know what the relationship is between the store clerks and the victim of the parents are. Have they just moved in? If so I doubt anyone really even knew that the child belong to them. The video in all honesty isn't decisive on what's in the surrounding area is like. We can see people passing by, but other than that nothing much. But it still doesn't change the fact that people did just walk pass. But I will reiterate the point of triads. Even if there were other clerks around, if they saw this happen. They would think the triads was setting this up. Someone who brazenly runs over a little girl right in the open doesn't happen on a daily basis. Anyone would be suspicious about that. I'm not saying that is the case. But at least a likely to be the case. If I saw that happen over here, even I would think no one just does something to that degree out in the open (Though similar have happened in Africa and Jamaica) without having a purpose to do so. That's not saying I wouldn't call for police and ambulance since I have that confidence at least to trust my public services enough to do so in this country.

    Again I say if this really was a case of triads being involved, just getting into contact with the child could put you on their blackmail list. They've been known to sit and wait in the shadows watching and ready to pounce on unsuspecting good samaritans helping out a "Child Beggar". Picking a fight with triads that might have connections in police and other public services isn't exactly a great idea.

    I'm going to pull a stat out my ass in and say that majority of people on Earth don't trust their neighbours. So imagine a society like China where even putting trust in the police could be fatal. Trying to trust their neighbours 100% is near impossible then.

    I can't express what's it's truly like living in China. I've never lived there so I wouldn't know if I would be the same as I am now if I was born then and was living there. But I have friends from China and believe me the majority of citizens just don't want to get involved with anyone because they are afraid of who it could be behind the scenes. Triads asking for "Store Protection" is still around to this day. It ain't no fairy tale. Just like how even Yakuza's are known to do the same in Japan. The only way for the average citizen in China can guarantee a safe (or safe enough) life is to not jump into things that stand out. It's sad but this is reality when you have criminals with power in charge of almost everything around you.

    My beef is with the drivers more than anything else. I would like nothing more than unending torture for the 2nd driver. The people who walked pass and did nothing pissed me off. But I can understand from their point of view at least, or what could be their point of view. I pity the mainlanders because of the dangers they have to put up with everyday. It gets to you eventually if you survive long enough. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but as a certain quote implies "Would you rather die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian?" If doing countless psychology courses has taught me anything. People in general all over the world end up the latter. Even if it's involuntary. I'm no exception.
