‘Nanjing Judge’ Blamed for Apathy in Toddler’s Hit and Run
Email
China Daily News
Outrage has spread rapidly across China over a hit-and-run where a 2-year-old girl was run over twice by vans and left bleeding in the middle of narrow market street. Eighteen pedestrians and cyclists passed right by the little girl before one woman finally stopped to pull the toddler aside and call for help.
The girl Wang Yue (nicknamed YueYue) is in critical condition at the Guangzhou Military District General Hospital. Images of her on a respirator were in most of the Chinese press today. Despite numerous microblogs from YueYue’s mother about her daughter’s improving condition (regaining sensation in her limbs), The Guangzhou Daily quoted the hospital’s head of neurosurgery as saying the girl is likely to remain in a vegetative state if she survives.
The two drivers involved in the hit-and-run are in police custody. One was arrested by police and the other turned himself in on Monday.
A security camera video of the incident has gone viral in China and ignited much heated discussion and soul-searching across the country. China’s version of Twitter, Sina Weibo, has created and organized all the comments under the hash tag “Please end the cold-heartedness.”
Web user “60 Red Setting Sun” exclaimed, “The Chinese citizens have finally arrived at their most immoral moment!” Another user “Being a Natural Person” wrote, “Truly very painful”
The most popular regional paper The NanFang Daily wrote an editorial about “gathering the scraps of China’s conscience.”
With the introspection comes who or what to blame for the degradation of “Chinese morality” and there seems to be a consensus about the perceived source of the current state of apathy. One netizen wrote, “Don’t blame the passersby; it was a Nanjing judge that killed this little girl.” [YueYue is still alive.]
The “Nanjing judge” refers to an infamous 2006 incident where a young man named Peng Yu went to the aid of an elderly woman who had fallen down on the street in the eastern city of Nanjing. At the woman’s request, Peng helped take her to the hospital only to have the woman turn around and accuse him for being the person who knocked her down. A Nanjing judge then ruled that “common sense” suggested that Peng only took the woman to the hospital because he was guilty and ordered him to pay her medical expenses.
The story was picked up by the Chinese media and quickly became a cautionary tale for many Chinese: no good deed goes unpunished.
In 2009 it was reported that an elderly man, also in Nanjing, fell while getting off a bus. Usually this wouldn’t be news except for the fact that he was only helped up by onlookers after he himself bore responsibility and announced to them that he had fallen on his own.
As news of the hit-and-run spread across the web, another Sina Weibo user “Rushing Forward” wrote, “It can only be said that the [woman who help YueYue] doesn’t read news on the internet.”
The China Daily reported that in September the Ministry of Health went as far as to issue guidelines on how to help elderly individuals who had fallen down. “Don’t rush to lend a hand to the elderly after seeing them fall over. It should be handled by different measures in different situations,” the ministry warned This includes determining person’s physical condition, determining the cause of the accident, and making a plan for rescue workers all before deciding to lend a hand.
There are, however, still some Good Samaritans around in China. Just last Thursday in the eastern city of Hangzhou, almost at the same time YueYue was left bleeding in the middle of that market street, a woman dove into the city’s famous West Lake to rescue another drowning woman while others looked on. Later when the commentators were heaping praise on the rescuer’s bravery, they couldn’t ignore the fact that she wasn’t Chinese, but a visiting American tourist.

NO NO NO! No judgment or law can be blamed for this display of cowardice and inhuman disgrace. NO law in the world woudl stop me from helping that child, not even with a gun to my head…this is wholly about lack of civility and barbaric people.

The crumbling of morality is a manifestation of a government who is more interested in “saving face” than doing the right thing. It is the result of a government who will tolerate no dissent and protest against rulings of people like the “Nanjing judge”. By creating this climate of fear, the government has weakened the moral fabric of their citizens, since there can be no checks and balances against unfair authority (unless you want to risk jail time). You reap what you sow.

This is ridiculous. You could hold a grenade to my face, a gun to my head, a dagger to my neck, and i wouldn’t ignore that little girl lying in the street. The chinese society needs to learn some ethics. The U.S may not have an abundance of ethics, but at least i hope we would help a little girl in need. This is just an example of what the world is heading towards.

“Nanjing Judge” or not, I guess that’s the difference between us and the Chinese. I’m with Nathaniel…you could hold a gun to my head and you still wouldn’t stop me from going to that girl’s aid.

Welcome to China; growing up in Asia, I am used to this kind of mindset and culture…of cos this is the worst of worst…but lack of respect for life, others, etc. is prevalent…its a very selfish culture…that cares about oneself only..and interested in making $$$ and eating good food.

Wonder if it was a little boy who was hit would help have come faster? As far as the “Nanjing Judge” can’t believe this judge would use the term common sense because he obviously had none when he made his ruling. Still amazes me that the US does so much business with China knowing they care very little about human rights but yet we refuse to have any relations with Cuba.

China… an overpopulated country.1.3 BILLION units. How valuable is human life in china? They are a colony of ants. Worker ants are expendable. Certainly, their babies are. They pollute themselves… they killl their female children. They generally look upon non-chinese as moving obstructions. They gave their own children milk tainted with the melamine, a TOXIC poison and they shipped it internationally. They sold to OUR children toys painted with lead-based paints.
Why we ever sparred/contested with the Russian people and those of what was once the ‘Eastern-Bloc” countries, I’ll never know. One of the Nazi’s motivations for European domination was the concept of Lebensraum, or ‘living space’ for the German people. Does anyone think that the chinese would not be very happy if we just sort of disappeared?
Wait and see. China is the enemy.
It’s time for the world to declare economic war on this ant colony. When you plan on purchasing an item, look to see where it was made. If it was ‘Made in China’ buy an equivalent item made anywhere else.

I agree with some of the comments above: nobody and nothing would stop me from helping this beautiful little human being if I came across her, or anyone else for that matter, after such a horrible accident. Point a gun at mu head or a dagger at my back, I don’t care. I’d have given my life itself to save her. This has bought tears to my eyes the last two days and I am praying she can pull through this. Thank god for the woman that finally came to her aid. If anything good can possibly come from this awful situation, its that Chinese society is in shock and a national soul-searching and discourse has begun. In the meantime, please all pray hard for this little girl that she may survive and recover, and have some semblance of a reasonable quality of life in the future.

Ok, if this baby was in the roadway, where the heck was her mother/parent???? If it is frowned upon to help a citizen in need? Ridiculous! Insane! What, is the baby going to sue her parent for jumping in traffic to stop everyone to help her? Never in my life…

I am shocked and amazed by the incident, but also by the fact that ABC runs a dog going down a slide and DWTS footage and this poor baby’s story has yet to appear on their mainstream news site. Along with all the other major news carriers. I have never seen (nor do I want to again) anything like what is on that video. there is nothing on this earth or elsewhere that would have kept me from helping that child. I have no idea what in the world you could have on your mind that could take precedent over the life of a child that lay bleeding in the street. This is not a case of materialism, indifference, or whatever. this is what evil looks like. Bless the person who finally got her to safety and bless her tiny heart. Where’s Nancy Grace on this one? oh yeah she’s busy dancing and falsely accusing people of killing their kids to worry about the ones who are really in danger.

What in the WORLD is wrong with those people??? I saw the entire video on globalpost and it boggles my mind to see those people walking and driving by not doing a damn thing. The young woman at the end of the video who runs over to the baby girl and scoops her up to get her aid should get a medal – the rest of ‘em should all be run over by trucks. Just disgusting!!!

“Ok, if this baby was in the roadway, where the heck was her mother/parent????” Posted by: Mix74 pp — This was my first thought as well. How many times have we all witnessed parents walking across a grocery store parking lot with toddlers moving as fast as their little legs could carry them ten to fifteen feet behind without even so much as a look back to check on the child. I’ll tell you what; NOTHING aggravates me more than parents that are too lazy or even too self-absorbed to parent.

Run over twice, left for dead by 18 or more people and when pulled to the side by a man he hits her head on the ground like she is a dead piece of meat. Thank god for the woman who picked this child up and got her medical assistance. These people are low-life disgusting vile animals!!! no wonder they are not allowed to have more than 1 child. The mother and all those involved should be prosecuted! I pray this child can survive and live a normal live and find a family outside of this disgusting country with a family and a country that will embrace her and love her.

It is sad that the little girl had no one to help her after so many passerby went by. Education and empathy is needed and concern for one’s neighbours. I think it should be introduced to the curriculum that is the only way to change the mindset. Civic duties and duties towards fellow man should be taught at all classes.

This is so ridiculous, disturbing, and angering! I am outraged by the actions of these people. The initial van saw the child and decided to drive off thereby running her over again with the rear wheels. There is a special place in hell for people like that.
I would like to share two stories that are relevant.
As a young child in the early 1950s, my father was run over by a car. My father’s jaw was crushed and the man pulled over and moved him to the curb and drove off. He was never caught. Obviously my father somehow lived and became a remarkable man and parent.
I had the misfortune to witness a teenage pedestrian being hit by a car in a parking lot. The overwhelming feeling I had was of helplessness for the victim. The sounds of the teenage boy’s friend whaling out in misery are still in my mind. I ran to a nearby restaurant on the off chance that maybe a doctor or nurse was dinning and could help. I didn’t find anyone and returned to see the paramedics covering the body with a white sheet. I turned and left at that point praying. Others lingered around, which I find terribly distasteful.
You never know how you will react, but I can guarantee you that in my community this would not happen.
Hold on to your children, slow down, get off the phone, and take driving seriously. Please.

Ok. so I know all of you guys are saying that china is a vile country where the people don’t have an ounce of love for that girl. But let me give you the real facts. (I’m not for the actions of the pedestrians that ignored the girl nor am I for the driver that ran over the girl and sped off)
In China, people don’t want to be in debt to other people. If a guy accidentally ran over a person on the road, the guy would rather have the runover person dead than to have the runover person alive. If the runover person lived on, the man that ran over the person would have to live his life in debt to the runover person or the family of that person. In China, people would rather have the guilt of the killing a person than live a life in debt.
The Chinese people are also afraid to live a life in debt. Money is important. There isn’t much going around. Housing is expensive. Cars and gasoline are too. Being in debt to someone would just ruin a man’s life.
So, the main point of this is that the Chinese aren’t coldhearted humans that don’t care for others. It’s kind of the way culture and society is in China. They grew up in an era where money is important and to keep the money, they don’t want to be in debt.
I’m sure people would help the girl if they knew they wouldn’t be in debt to the girl’s family. But china doesn’t work like that. Those that help are accused of doing the actual crime of hurting the person.

You just summed up what is wrong with China, and you. You all care more about a debt than a toddler dying in the street. I am absolutely amazed that people think like you. I hope the child dies peacefully so that she is not ever again subjected to life in your country and your total indifference to a living being. I am beyond disgusted and horrified that this type of attitude exists, and you don’t even see anything wrong with it. You just give a factual explanation as to why the inaction of your people is supposed to be understood, how totally nonchalant and heartless. Thanks for “explaining”, I feel much better!
Posted by: Tracy | October 18, 2011, 8:47 pm 8:47 pm
This is appaulling!!!!! Why aren’t the parents watching this child, she’s two. I think its very irresponsible and people like this shouldn’t be able to have children. The parents should be jailed & slowly tortured, given operations so they cannot breed and their store burned down. Nasty B*stards!
But then again we’re talking about a country that adds leaded paint to childrens toys and toxic chemicals to baby formula. Just think…every time you buy something made in China, chances are its made by children in locked warehouses. These people have no sympathy or humanity.
My wish for China…I hope there’s a HUGE earthquake and the entire country is swallowed whole by the Earth! People world wide should BOYCOTT EVERYTHING MADE IN CHINA. When I see the “Made in China” label I refuse to buy the product!!!! :(

I have seen more compassion from monkeys on the nature channel. I guess China doesn’t have good Samaritan’s. We keep talking about how China needs more human rights, after seeing this video I think they need more human decency.

I have been crying since yesterday after reading the news. On the news the site of that little girl lying in the street with that passerby was enough for me feel a pain in my hear and urge to hold that child.I didn’t had the courage to see the video, I would have fainted. I don’t understand how all those passerby’s will be sleeping at night without having nightmares. I pray they can never have a peaceful night and a peaceful life. They should suffer the same excruciating pain as that little child is suffering . I really wish I could be there for the child. I have a two yr old and it’s not the reason why I m feeling this way . The reason is I m a human who respects human life. That child couldn’t ask the passerby’s for their help and couldn’t tell them they wouldn’t be in debt because of her ,simply because she was just a baby who hasn’t done anything to deserve all those people’s ignorance. I pray from the bottom of my heart for her to survive and have a quality life and I pray the same way for all those who ignored her God be with you for the rest of your life as you are going to suffer your whole life with guilt and shame and this suffering should be be a curse for your generations present and future.

Please do not be so judgmental of the parents. It could have been a momentary lapse of oversight on their part for all we know; two-year-olds are very difficult to constantly watch, as they have a tendency to wander off. The parents are going through enough pain as is without the judgment of millions of people who do not know the situation weighing on them. Whatever mistakes they may have made as parents, they would not be enough to merit going through what they are going through right now.

Its appalling and shocking yet am not surprise at all coming from CHINA chinese!!!My country used to have peace and low crimes back before. Ever since our govt brought in broad amount of CHINA chinese recently we’ve many crimes that involves these CHina immigrants! Many of my fellow Singaporeans have been complaining online due to the influx of these CHina chinese. Lately my family and I are planning for migration bec our country no longer feels like home! Even the eateries here are taken over by these China chinese chefs and they’re unhygienic and uncouth. And ever since they came in our country is tainted by their profanity. These vile and uncompassionate act from them is unforgiveable and unexcusable! God bless the lil girl !

First of all, I’d like to quote a related article: “While society is progressing, humanity is regressing.” Horrific incidents like this prove that their monetary needs, profit and expansion come first and foremost even above respect and compassion of the human condition. It is uplifting though, to see so many of us speaking up for the little girl who couldn’t, and maybe never will. But I must say that we should not be so consumed with ideas vengeance and torture to those aPATHETIC passerby’s, their judgement day will come. And instead take we should take it as a wake up call to everyone – not just China. It is time to see the bigger picture people! Everyone needs to rethink this ‘every man for himself’ way of life. No matter where you live, everyone needs to wake up and see things with modern eyes. We are all consumed with this token system of life, where we succeed at the expense of others. But what can we do to change the entire planets way of life? Nothing really, what voice do we have? In the blink of time that is the human race, we have blindly sealed our own fate. We are all just sheeps to the slaughter, so buckle up, it’ll be a bumpy ride until we run out of gas.

This is what happens in a God-less society. This is what happens in a society that has lost all respect for human life. China has been an athiest nation for decades. Abortion has not only been condoned, but it has been encouraged for many, many years. Selective abortion, the killing of millions of female babies, has been a fully acceptable and encouraged practice in China for decades. So has infanticide, the killing of female newborns, because of China’s “one child” policy. Male children are prized, so the elimination of females through abortion and infanticide has not only killed millions of chinese females, it has helped kill the morality of China. It’s a “slippery slope” when man takes on the responsibility of deciding what life has value and what life does not. As China has proven, it’s a very short distance from the killing of babies in utero, to the killing of newborns after birth, and a shorter distance from there in devalueing the life of a toddler or an elderly person. How does mankind take it upon itself to define the sanctity and value of life; Where does one possibly draw the line in determining what is valuable life and what is not? It is not possible because of mankind’s inherrent selfishness and greed. That’s why the world has believed in a higher power (God) since the beginning of mankind’s consciousness, and through the belief in a higher power protected the sanctify of life rather than destroy it, because mankind would otherwise self-destruct (as it appears to be doing right now). China has no spirituality, therefore no morality and no soul. Little Yue Yue is the result of a nation that is God-less, that has lost it’s soul and its spirituality, resulting in a complete loss of respect and compassion for the value of life, especially of its weakest and most vulnerable members of society. How sad for China; how sad for the rest of the world.

“One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.”-Mother Teresa
How unbearably tragic that this precious little one who should be loved, cherished and cared for was treated as if nothing…so unspeakably sad…my heart breaks for her and all those like her. And yes, I believe there is a special place in hell for those who abuse or neglect the innocent. While trying to understand cultural differences, there is NO excuse for child abuse or cruelty. However, please, listen to the HATRED of some of you-willing to dismiss, condemn and wish destruction on an entire nation for the evil of some. My youngest daughter is from China. Her mother saved her from death by making sure she was found & brought to an orphanage to be adopted, never knowing her fate-true love and bravery. I pray for her daily. Do not dismiss an entire culture on the actions of the minority.

I was saddened and outraged by the footage, but reading most comments, I find even more hateful and evil and self-righteous human beings. The two drivers and the passersby are despicable, but they probably did not intend to kill. Are they worse the killers and war criminals?

Clear to the world that China has LOTS of PROBLEMS!!! Political, Economic, Legal, Social, and definitely MORAL!!!! People are not happy in China–!!!! The Chinese are lving under a dictatorship AND stuck in 19th century concept of civilization in terms of nation-state. They occupy Tibet, East Turkestan and other areas whose peoples reject Chinese domination. THe Han people have enough crap to deal with. WIth that said!—LEAVE TAIWAN ALONE!!!! This also clearly show that the Taiwanese are different than the Chinese–we have a separate National Identity!!!!!

All are calling the woman at the end a hero for helping the little girl, well she is not. The woman was the little girls mother, where was she when the little girl was walking in the road. The only one who helped was the woman that pulled her to the side but it still looked like she was going to leave her there. The way the lady pulled her out of the street and the way the mother grabs her up it makes you wonder if they made her injuries even worse, I guess they don’t understand about proper ways to help an injured person.

C’mon, imagine there are 100000 laws that forbid you to touch the little girl lying on the floor…. at least call the police, call an ambulance, look for her parents, get some help…. don’t be such a piece of trash…. I first saw the video on Youtube and I thought it was fake… I did not think that regular people on the street, in any city could be that low….. that cannot be happening … a two year old girl???? OH MY GOD

many said Chinese are racist and callous from daily lives to their serious businesses. the language barrier is the root cause. Chinese is not a lingua-franca because of overabundant vocabularies probably more than Arabic or Hebrews though Arabic have more variation of its root vocabularies. Chinese people tend to lose it when they got coworkers or their own toddlers didn’t understand their messages wrapped in scribbled ‘handwriting’ and could be worse than Japanese of those are ont conversant enough in Japanese. I am so pity of Chinese people.

Chinese have dreaded language and that’s the barrier defined as racist and callous. the vocabularies are overabundant more than Arabic and Hebrew even though Arabic has thousands of word variation for one vocabulary. Look, they are happened to lose it every time a disaster/misfortune strikes them at untimely ranges from daily lives to their serious businesses.
the job requirement nowadays in all of surprise need their dreaded language spoken, written and encoded. No coworkers want to learn from this frustrating race albeit the other non-native speakers could not catch what messages they conveyed; this situation is even worse than Japanese who just feel shameful to those who’re non-conversant in Japanese.

dont blame a nation for an incident. there was also a time when a bum was lit on fire and no one called the police. you should clean the speck from you own eyes before some one else!

Excuses that is all this is!! That little girl needed help and they are in need of looking for a way to justify their pathetic actions. Since I seen the news it has given me nightmares of that child the pain of her being alone is just plain horrible. I hope the people that walked away karma bites them!

A lack of caring is the standard of care in any nation that does not recognise God’s baseline for morality among humans. Athiests have no baseline for morality to fall back upon when a situation becomes difficult. Here’s another thought: Without recognition of God by government, so-called fundamental rights become as all the other rights, nothing special and nothing that will trump the government’s interest in you, your life, your family and your property.

You americans are unbelievable. “This is the result of a Godless country”, “Chinese are wild animals, subhumans”, “I hope their entire country will collapse in an earthquake”… and that’s for the disgusting ones. But there are the naive ones : “Oh my God, there are many problems in China”, “Poor and sad country, the overpopulation is the problem, life has no meaning”, etc.
All of this is pathetic. What caused the chinese society to become so callous recently is several diseases which come from… your country. Individualism, capitalism, greed, etc. You exported the thing all over the world, bravo !
And for those who think chinese are subhumans without God and/or morals, what do you think is happening in your wonderful country ?

Let’s see : a nice video posted in this very website a few months ago, with not one example, but 4 on the same level of passers-by’s coldheartedness : search for “bystanders leave good samaritan die” on abcnews, you’ll see.
Kind regards to the good samaritans you think you are !
