Chinese have been outraged by the case of a man who was left to drown by the family he saved, with the rescued boy’s mother saying his fate was nothing to do with them.
According to local media reports, a 27-year-old man out walking his dogs in China’s Hunan province came upon a family swimming in a local river who were in some difficulty as their 5-year-old son had been swept away.
Unable to rescue him themselves, they called for help, and the man responded by bravely leaping into the fast flowing river to rescue the boy and his family, aided by two other bystanders.
However, after rescuing the boy he himself was swept away and drowned to death.
A sense of tragedy soon turned to incensed outrage after it was reported that the boy’s family promptly left the scene as soon as their child was safe, leaving their rescuer to drown, and when questioned by locals they merely replied it was “none of their business.”
Chinese online, perhaps reminded of certain other recent events, wasted no time in venting their rage and condemning the “heartless” family.
Supposedly the family did suffer a change of heart and weepingly made a rather belated display of sorrow and gratitude at his funeral.

Poor dude...

you know their pirated nuclear devices might just do the job
I really wish they will oh my they invading neighboring country sea territory after the arrest of Chinese fishermen in Russian sea.

They propse to arm fisherman
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul/18/inside-china-armed-fishermen/
So they must explode or else we are all invaded by their exploding virus!
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul/18/inside-china-armed-fishermen/
If they would defeat someone, it would be because their enemies run out of ammo!
they make all of our gaming consoles... so no.
you mean not yet
You mean the psp console that plays the old NES games? No thanks!
iPads, and almost every single electronic device you own is either made wholly in China, or contain parts that were manufactured in China.
Just psps? You also forgot EVERYTHING.YOU.FUCKING.OWN.
We'll just outsource people's livelihoods to other countries, then.
I would prefer giving the jobs to people who don't plan to become a knock-off oompetitor later.
surprisingly enough, our gaming consoles haven't exploded. Other than the already known Xbox360's
"Dell Recalls Exploding Sony Laptop Batteries - Blogcritics Sci/Tech"

"Laptops Sony battery recall approaches 10 million, costs mounting"
"PSA: Sony says counterfeit PS3 controllers could explode"
Where do you think those batteries came from and what other devices do you think had them, which were NOT recalled?
hint: your PSP, Ericsson phone & PS3 controller
@19:30 That's weird, because I've had Sony products for countless years and they're still in perfect condition.
And kill the heroes along with the monsters?
You sir, are an insane bigot.
so far one hero out of a billion people, and he's already dead.
Because decent deeds don't make headlines. You'd be one grand dumbass if you think these few cases dug up every now and then represent what's going on with 1 billion people.
So according to your logic, and based on inductive stereotyping, we could say your username is enough a representation of who you are: a worthless piece of weeaboo shit.
It's pretty clear now that you view SankakuComplex as a legitimate source for what's going on in China, probably the only source you use to look at China. And I will say, good deed do not pop up often, and on this site, you have a better chance at finding the flying spaghetting monster flyiing over at the edge of the galaxy drinking Coke Cola using your simple magnifier.

Unfortunately news like this is not restricted to SC, but are shown on youtube, even international newspapers.
The China has been the subject of negative news for a long time, if you insist to ignore is your choice. One act, but it was a great act, the secondary issue was the lack of consideration of the family. With people like this family the world more and more goes to the pit :P
SC is known to only showcase China's worst, any good news on China wouldn't be found here.
China is the largest contributor to the development of third world countries.
Agreed, but let's destroy it in a way that's fun for us.
...and you sir are just as fucked up as the family who left the heroic man to die.
I'm laughing and crying at the same time...I wonder why....hmmm.....
The family that left the drowning hero should just explode.
It's people like that that makes China a shithole slightly deeper than Japanese police forces' own asses.
Agree. Worthless bunch of assholes. WIsh they would be swept away and drowned to death.
A hero drowned to save the offspring of shit. This is an instance where I hope against hope that the concept of "pay it forward" affects the boy deeply as he grows up.
And just like that movie, I hope he gets stabbed in the back over a pointless fight.
And THEN explode.
Lets hope the kids family also explodes
That's exactly what nature was trying to do, sweep the shit, sadly the man did a heroic deed and was taken in exchange.
May many good things happen to this mans soul.
And what would have that accomplished? Take a "chill pill" you angry nerd. lmfaooo
They couldn't save their child, so how the hell would they save this guy? Think ffs, think.
even so they could of tried to get help instead of saying not our problem and leave.
this must be a misunderstanding.
the article says "according to local media reports".
I don't think a reporter was on the scene, direct live, during the action. This must have happened in some shithole in the middle of nowhere.
So this is just the work of some wannabe asshole reporter who tried to gain some recognition by writing nonsense tabloids.
I can imagine a long chain of bystanders trying to help each other out of the river, one after the other.
could be
It isn't in our genes to help people.
Therefore good riddance to a defect of a Chinese.
It is, in good people. That's why we have society and civilization. It's the every man for themselves types that are the cancer of humanity.
good people are conditioned by society and other shit to be good, not by genes.
Humans are social animals. Just look at chimps and gorillas. Social animals help each other when they can.
Jesus christ dude you're either trolling or a huge dumbfuck.
.. What happened to you as a child? My whole family is a bunch of selfish pricks; I wasn't taught to love, only to not fuck up. I actually feel bad when I hurt someone and have a strong inclination to help and protect.
People are born as animals. Their surroundings are the ones who teach them to help one another.
^^You obviously know nothing about genetics, learn the basics before make idiotic statements like this.
You are talking out your ass. The age-old nature versus nurture debate has yet to be fully explored and it is currently unknown which of the two is more true over the other.
Stop claiming your opinion as fact dumbfuck.
Say that to the Silverback Gorillas who teach their young to warn others about snaring traps from poachers. Helping is only labeled as "Good" it is a concept purposed in society by humans but "good" has always existed since the dawn of life. You can either assist or destroy and this family only destroyed.
The world would be better off if your kind just kept their mouths shut.
People like this make the "World" a shithole.
Is it as amazing to anyone else that these bastards had the nerve to even show their faces at his funeral? Especially after that comment...
if they couldn't help their own son, how could they have helped a larger man?
you don't "help" a drowning person by getting in with them, you toss them a flotation device. barring that, you tie some quick knots in a rope and toss that to him. or just use a rope with a loop in it, and have the drowning person wrap it around them.
now, the people were bad for leaving and not caring, but if they were too stupid to help their own son, i'm not sure they would have been much more help to this guy.
