If you are a daily/regular reader of EastCoastLife blog, chances are you would have recalled ECL blogging about one of her overseas holiday where she saw a lady begging at a side street. She did what anyone with a heart would do, which is to offer just a little assistance in the form of money (that's probably that much you can do if you're a visitor to another foreign country) only to have someone yell/scream/verbally abuse her just for being kind.
The issue about China is that, sometimes even if the kindness really do comes from your heart, the person whom you are helping might not even recipocrate. Instead, you will probably be blamed for something you did not do and get blamed for another issue that is called "kindness".
But if you recalled this other incident that happened in 2006, a man by the name of Peng Yu was kind enough to offer his help to an elderly woman who took a fall. And instead of thanking Peng Yu for his kind help that stems from his heart, guess what that elderly woman did? She turned around and accused Peng Yu of being the person responsible for knocking/pushing her down and demanded a huge compensation for her injuries.
This is exactly that one reason why people in Foshan seemed almost hesitant to offer any resistance to Yue Yue as the little girl lay in pain and agony while lying in a pool of her own blood. But at the same time, did any of those 18 selfish people who walked past Yue Yue ever think who in the right mind would ask a child or even sacrifice a child's life just for the sake of scamming an innocent person of his or her money? No parent in their right mind would want to put their own child in such a blasphemous act just to be able to put food on the table or be able to pay their bills.
This isn't right, no matter how you look at it. And this ultimately leads back to the very first person in China who conceived this scam idea in their blasted retarded mindset:
Currently Yue Yue is presumably still in a coma. And I really wish and pray Yue Yue would survive and pull through this really unfortunate accident as her own way of rubbing back at the so-called phrase "socially responsible citizenship" and make people sit up and think.
A little assistance isn't that much to ask for, although it would go a long way before citizens in China can actually think of helping without having to worry about undue consequences that involves monetary scamming.

Yes, I don't mind blogging and giving my opinions on such topics as long as it can somehow raise awareness. But I will stop short of actually putting up images or videos that literally shows the "damage" because simply put, I do not want to be a statistic that screams "The New Paper". Thank you.
