Bystanders’ Neglect of Injured Toddler Sets Off Soul-Searching on Web Sites in China
BEIJING — Last Thursday, a van navigating the narrow streets of a hardware market in Foshan, in the southern province of Guangdong, struck and ran over a 2-year-old girl. The driver paused, then drove away. A surveillance camera showed that the toddler lay grievously injured for seven minutes, ignored by at least 18 passerѕ-by, while a second vehicle ran over the child and drove on. A 57-year-old rag collector finally went to her aid.
The next day an apparently suicidal woman jumped into a lake in Hangzhou, a city southwest of Shanghai, and began flailing helplessly. A woman widely reported to be an American threw off her coat, swam the 65 feet to the drowning woman and expertly hauled her to shore. And then, seeing she was safe, the rescuer left without giving her name.
Neither episode is necessarily representative: many Chinese do help those in dire straits, and, obviously, Americans do not always come to the rescue. But thousands of microbloggers in China have used the juxtaposition of callousness and heroism to fuel a wrenching debate over whether people in their country lack compassion and, if so, why.
It is the sort of national conversation, increasingly common now, that did not exist before in a land where the printed press and broadcast media largely remain controlled by a Communiѕt Party more interested in directing public opinion than in reflecting on the national mood. “What kind of nation is this?” asked one microblogger who called himself Patton Yu. “It doesn’t matter if an individual’s nature is good or bad, it’s the system that has made us deteriorate.”
Said one commentator about the Hangzhou rescue: “Yesterday Obama had a beer with out-of-work construction workers. Today, I see a story about an American tourist jumping into the water to save someone. I finally realized why America is such a strong country and will continue to be one.”
By Tuesday, more than 9.3 million people had posted comments on the toddler’s accident on Sina’s Weibo, the leading microblog, or Tencent Holdings’ QQ service. Chinese reports on Monday quoted doctors as saying that if the child survived, she was likely to remain in a vegetative state for the remainder of her life. Far fewer commented on the Hangzhou rescue — in the scores of thousandѕ — but those who did raised the same ethical concerns about going — or not going — to the aid of a fellow Chinese.
In an unscientific online survey conducted by the Web site ifeng.com — an arm of the independent Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television — some 170,000 respondents, who voted on their own initiative, judged by a wide margin that the toddler’s case was proof that the Chinese people’s morals and mutual trust were eroding under the pressures of modern society.
Yet the question of compassion in Chinese society is not a new one. In 1894, an American missionary, Arthur H. Smith, wrote an influential book, “Chinese Characteristics,” in which a chapter, “The Absence of Sympathy,” raised similar questions.

这么慷慨激昂富有哲理的话像是我这种最怕麻烦的挫人说出来的吗？

如今道德的沦丧、法制的缺失是整个社会可怕而又可悲的惨剧，人性都去了哪？原先的淳厚朴实、好客有礼怎么变成了如今的自私自利、冷漠无情？法的基本精神又堕落到了哪？这在一个蓬勃发展的社会上真是一个比较可怕的悲剧

这个社会的大部分人已经道德缺失，沉浸在对虚拟的物质追求中。
扭曲的价值观和世界观只会愈加偏离正道，即使有些人会选择去古典文学中汲取营养。
但他们真正需要的又是什么呢？纳兰容若和李煜丝毫没有男子气概的呻吟？
上过某位著名语文老师课的同学都知道，这些绮丽而颓靡的事物并不能挽救中国。
“见死不救”？我们习惯于对别人冷漠，我们习惯于将他人的不幸当作一场笑谈。
可是不知道连自己人都不能团结起来，又有什么资格说“爱国”？
我们现在学习并不是为了那一个考试，如果一个人学不会称为一个人格健全的人，
他也没资格被称呼为人。
