Where is "Care', and what happen to "Compassion" ? - what kind of people have we become ? Surveillance video of passersby ignoring the plight of a Chinese hit-and-run victim has sparked international expressions of shock and horror--together with a bout of soul-searching in Chinese society. The video is obviously disturbing. It shows a 2-year-old girl who was run over by a van that then drove off, leaving her bleeding on the street in the city of Foshan, in China's southeastern Guandong province, on October 13. For the next seven minutes, passersby ignored the injured , who was then hit by a second vehicle. Video of incident, since aired on Chinese television and posted to Twitter and Chinese social networking sites, shows "more than a dozen people over the next seven minutes walk or drive past the girl on bicycles" as the girl is then "run over by a second truck, " Reuters Michael Martina reported Monday. "A woman then pulls the girl to the side of the street before her mother, a migrant worker in the city, rushes into the frame." The girl is now in a coma and hospitalized, Reuters reporting, citing a dispatch from China's state-run Xinhua news agency. "Both drivers who ran over the girl have been arrested, Xinhua said, but Internet users have flooded microblogs decrying the apathy of the people who left her for dead, " Reuters wrote. "The shame of the Chinese people, " wrote one user, Xiaozhong001, on Chinese social networking site Weibo, Reuters reported. "Really, what is up with our society? I saw this and my heart went cold. Everyone needs to do some soul searching about ending this kind of indifference." "Many people in China are hesitant to help people who appear to be in distress for fear that they will be blamed, " Reuters' Martina wrote in his report. "High-profile law suits have ended with good Samaritans ordered to pay hefty fines to individuals they sought to help." |

Many people probably still have no comment, but they will certainly get on the web talking about their vanity within romantic conquest and their selfish wants. What an interesting world this has become.

Yes, that was indeed a very distressing,heartwrenching image to witness,and i have not shed a tear in ages until i saw this,my heart goes out to this little child. China,have u become so self-indulgent n selfish,how could anyone not bother,or claim to not have seen this little defenseless child?I sometimes wonder are there any humans left in this messed up world?I watch animal documentaries,and these wonderful creatures leave us to shame. I was very shocked to say the least,and even now,writing this makes me tremble with anger n frustration. I'm at a loss to even think that the driver(s) failed to stop and render assistance.I am not a violent person, but if i cld shake these ignorant bastards down i wld have no hesitation in doing so. Although,after 10 minutes or so,a lady did come to this childs dilemma,i was still shocked in the manner which she dragged this little girl off the road and just dumped her on the side,i'm not sure which is worse??? Shame shame shame!!!! I need a drink now! so enchanting she delights the soul

there are many people in this very website, who never have a word to say about any kind of tragedy. 'they are wrapped up in their vain search for erogenous stimulation, and wanting someone to obsess over them. people can't even make relationships for their vanity and self absorption, and this mentality translates over into the utter neglect people show for situations like this. Money, vanity, self consumption, is basically all many people care about. Not only do people not help people. they don't even want to talk to each other as people and its even worst when it comes to male and females. Only when they think Money is involved do they want to then 'become chatty". People abuse kids, because of their own selfishness, people ignore kids because of their own greed, and people disrespect kids because of their own vain absorption. People let kids go hungry because they are too status minded to do the type work it takes to provide food for the kids. Now days, soon as Money status change, relationships fall apart. We are now a society of hoo%ers and Johns, always trying to make a bargain, with one selling and seeking someone to buy, or one buying seeing someone who is selling. "MANY, MANY People" today are not even with the compassionate regard and respect animals show to each other.

You have to respect prostitutes more than some of these folks. At least they are honest and open about what they do for a living. They don't pretend to be searching for love and companionship when all they are really looking for is a free ride.. I've said this a number of time, one thing I found with the girls who work in bars in Thailand. Not only are they up front about doing stuff, when they share time with you, they are open about life and their lives. I met many women who were not bar girls, who were good open people, but most every girl I met who worked in bars, also was very open, but they too, were open without much prodding. all one has to do is treat them with respect, and they were fare more genuine than many of the women who were not prostitutes. Women like to play games and many women make everything into a game, and the gambit is always the same. "sex" .. trying to see what someone will give or do for it, and many want to know if a guy will forget about everything just to appease her whims. It's purely vain ego... that's why relationship don't last. Generally women, will jump ship the minute they think they are not getting the bargain for the whim of the moment they come up with. and many will turn on a dime. It's really pathetic. many of these in the site claim they are so caring and so this, but they don't give a darn about any tragedy which befalls others, nor do they even pause to say a word of care. they are on and on about what what they expect and who they think they can trip out by the look of their face or the shape of their butt. when that thrill game of the minute does not elate her ego.. she quickly claims bored and begins a new hunt. Men are generally the ones who at least make some care expressed comments about tragedies.. women are too wrapped up in themselves to even think about such things.

women are just different from men... the things that concern them, will probably never be near the same as things that concern men ...

it's amazing he number of people who make fake substance and sell it to the people, a few years ago it was a baby milk thing, and another instance they used cardboard in some food product. A billion people is itself an interesting things. but even more a trip is how some of the women turn on and off like a light switch if they don't get the deal they are trying to strike, or find out the guy has no money, or that his is not going to be a ticket out of her situation. It has to be dramatically more that the media does not mention.

I've met some Chinese women who were very congenial, and never asked for anything. I've encountered some who send me a per-programmed message, and it never expanded beyond being per-programmed. I do understand it is not the Western Culture, but when I visited HKG some years back, I met both HKG Chinese Women and Mainland Chinese women. I did have good relations with them, I understood the woman from HKG had a good jobs, so she not only did not ask for anything, she would pull out her CC and ready to pay, I understood the woman from Mainland China had different circumstances, but she understood I was not going to be an ATM. The women I met were very helpful and quite gracious. I did encounter some that had a very overt bias which was predominant. Although, the women I worked with had great great sense of humor, and the guys were simply hilarious. I found some very hard workers, and some jokers as well. Its different than Western cultures, but this is a mixed bad of many things, and it certainly depends on what aspect of culture the women are from. I did find that if one is not sharp on paying attention. some will use the phrase "it's our culture" and play you like a yo-yo with that phrase if they think you have a romanticized gullibility for it  but for me, yes there may be some generalized cultural things, but heck every household has some different cultural flairs and all of them are not the same. I did not cater too much to the 'fast money spender crowd', nor the status seeker crowds, but I notice how they consider acts and activities with regards to how they do things with the 'saving face" mentality is of many things. I do know they are competitive, but that may have a great deal to do with the massive population, and how the competitiveness is about making ones way in this mass of people. Now when it comes to talking, at first they don't eloborate, they simply answer a specific questions and if you don't ask more questions, the conversation may simply fall flat. the trips about life and sex, is not so much public, but when its one to one engaging, they are as much creatively comical about things of sex as anyone else, but you got to get past the surface, and they got as much innuendos as anyone else in their individual ways. they may pretend to be not overtly sexual in public, because their culture is not set up to function that way, but in private they are as ready as any other woman, if they want to hook up. but the delusion about some passive or docile person is certainly not the reality of the people. Heck, Chinese men are just as freaky as any other man, they may not be as open for the women to be self assertive with a self motivation, the same as western society, but they make it work for themselves in how they do it. This illusion of the rich westerner, is changing, now that many Chinese have money and can make money. but one needs to pay attention, because they are shrewd behind the smile. and the women are very shrewd behind that cycle of pretending to be silent. their minds are running 100mph... I thought it funny how they can walk in public and the women are very shapely, but the men walk past some of them like they are not there, and the women walk past some of the men like they are not there. But all across the world the want and the grasp for money is many things. now city people, rural people and the metro chic people play different mannerisms in how they do things. But they are also a very pushy especially in some of the merchant areas, they are very nice if they think you are buying something, but if you don't go for the deal they push, they can become very much not nice. in this web site, if the men pay attention, some of the women turn on and turn off quicker than a light switch.

Lucy: I certainly agree with you that , cultural difference makes much exotic to the observing culture, but within the cultures, what is common and what is principal. is that men and woman are the same.. in a basic sense. cultural idioms being different mannerisms in how people facilitate their interactions, but in principal. the role of man and the role of woman, is with a great many generics in the sociological aspects of cultural grooming. i.e: the man is more socially considered the dominant figure and women the sub dominant figure. by this it means the man is generalized as the overt aggressor, and the women the submissive aggressor. Now within structural process, there are many variables of how role play takes on any characteristic, which can and does blur some lines of opposite gender generics. I like the women of Mainland China, as much as any woman. I do like that many are not European polished and more natural to their own Continental manner. this is highly visible in how the role of general woman in China is of difference from the European Model. In the EAST there still is a respectful deference to the man, where in Western Modelings, there is more generalize competitive regard with the man. This makes a big difference in how the social process functions. It is less likely for women from many Asian locations to be more interested in emulating men, they are more interested in being the women they are. this has become a cultural things, which has become an attractor for many western males to pursue and seek out Asian woman.
