Both drivers have been caught. Guilt got to them. Supposedly, one of the drivers called the baby's father to pay him off, before his arrest. Here is what the driver said to the father. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...itically-ill-run-twice-ignored-18-people.html
The problem with these oriental Asian countries is that having courage is not rewarded. You're rewarded for being a product of a factory built assembly line. Just 1 in a chain of 1 billion dominoes. That's probably why the few good looking Asian women (for their standards) look to interracial marriages in the West. The Asian man just isn't appealing as an individual. I remember a Hollywood audience was very uncomfortable during a screening for "Romeo Must Die" when Jet Li kissed Aaliyah and they had to remove the scene. They aren't comfortable with Asian men in romantic, intimate scenes. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slanted_Screen I find most Chinese lack a certain personal touch and although they are very focused with the task at hand and can be creative, lack a certain compassion for the human race. So we can blame society, ignore the reality of this situation, say it's a 3rd world thing, say there are exceptions... but by and large, this is a strictly Chinese phenomenon. I think China as a whole, and non resident Chinese citizens need to sit in time out and reflect on what has just happened. Are we human, or are we robots incapable of love? Before it's too late. Don't shoot the messenger.
She died. At this point it's for the best, she should not have to continue suffering. http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-toddler-ignored-hit-run-dies-123602526.html
I hate these Ronny Asianism, because they force me to respond as an Asian and Chinese American (born here) male. I have NEVER had any issues with women of ANY race. Before you start quoting stereotype scripture, let's just take this point on face value eh, mostly because I don't want this thread to go to D&D and partly because I've dealt with you about this before. I'll try to be civilized in this post because I know how much win you're full of (sorry, had to put it there) People are uncomfortable with Asian males kissing on screen is for the same reason that during the 70's and 80's it was uncomfortable for a black male to kiss a white female. We're not socially use to it, and things we aren't use to makes us uncomfortable. But I guarantee you, it will change as time progress... especially when Asians are no longer seen as foreigners (as in the case with John Cho's kiss in Harold and Kumar). What you say is partially true, but mostly on a macro level and especially by white males who don't really have that much contact with much Asians besides TV and the internet. What you fail to realize is that what you feel about us is a social construct not a biological one (I'm sure you're not alone). For example, I've never been to Brazil, but from a poster here and a from a friend, the same ideas of the Asian male doesn't exist there, or at least not yet. Anyways, Ronny, I'm not going to hate, but I will leave you with an advice on your path to become enlightened (as you keep on mentioning in your threads). When you're trying to prove something, don't true to find evidence to support your theory. Try your hardest to find evidence to disprove it. And just because things are non-PC doesn't mean it's the truth. I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying you may not have the whole picture or why things happen for the reasons they do. And finally, I love the way you steer nearly every post, no matter what subject into a subject about getting women. I'm not sure why though. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1Pai7ddaR1w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> People were cheering this scene in the theater when I was watching it.
Chinese toddler's rescuer denies fame-seeking The woman who came to the aid of a toddler who was run down on a street in China denies rumours she was seeking fame or money by helping the injured girl, according to a local newspaper. Chen Xianmei, a 58-year-old scrap collector in the city of Foshan in central Guangdong province, is quoted by daily newspaper Dayoo as saying she cannot watch television because of the constant coverage of her rescue of Wang Yue last Thursday. Dayoo also reported Chen has been showered with reward money from anonymous donors since her good deed became public. "A lot of people are now saying that I'm doing it to get famous, and to get money. Even my neighbours are now saying so," Chen was quoted as saying. "That really wasn't my intention, and I'm so afraid of hearing what people are saying that I don't dare to watch the news. I'm not out for fame or money." link
Wow sounds like someone is freaking jealous. Good for her. That woman deserve her rewards and those others who think she is doing it to get famous can go **** themselves.
Their distorded beliefs give them this idea. They think that the only reason she would help someone is to benefit from it. What other reason is there for helping someone? She is in the right to reject rewards because all she did is what anyone and everyone should do.
Does opening the door for people count, I do that a few times a day. My friend's battery was freaking out on him the other day, we had at least 3 people stop and try help us without being asked. I've stopped many times after witnessing an accident and offered assistance. I see people helping people all the time, including on here, when money has been raised for various members who are going through tough times.
Good point. I'm not religious, but I've been going to the church my G/F attends (don't go regularly myself) to do volunteer work. Let me take it one step farther. Did anyone here helped out a stranger in need when they know personal physical injury is possible? Again, just curious.
The only lesson you can take from this or stories like Kitty Genovese's is to act when you see someone in need. The bystander effect isn't only for big things, it'd be like loading dishes into the company break room's dishwasher. You're not being a saint by doing it, and a lot of times you feel like a goat, so what's in it for you? Let someone else do it, like the person who doesn't have any clean silverware... Except when things "get real", we're supposed to call time out, break lifetimes of trained habit, routine, and gaming in order to snap out of our comfort zones, and put our asses on the line to help someone you don't know? Ehhh, I'll stick with pontificating and calling myself a poor saint on the interwebs. It doesn't really work like that all the time. I've helped out strangers in need before, given some money, called for help, find someone they're looking for, but if I had a headache or rough day at work? Maybe maybe no. Oh wait, in today's jobs climate I'm already pulling in 45+ hrs/wk, so it is a tough day every day. Mental note: I need to reward myself two McRibs. Snapping out the Bystander Effect is tough. Don't delude yourself into thinking you're better. Both sides of your rationality and emotions are working against you at times when you're not expecting it. Yes, China's ****ed up. But we can't really gain any comfort in that with our own cluster**** of problems. We too value dollar over quality. Personal short term time over long term relationship building... And there is a Golden Rule in Eastern cultures, but with a slight difference that carries a profound meaning in scale: Do not do unto others as you wouldn't want done to you.
It's been a few years, but I was sitting in my vehicle at a red light when another vehicle ran the light, ran off the road and hit a tree. The passenger got out and went to the driver side door to pull him out of the truck and then began cpr. I rushed over and told him that i could do the chest compressions for him, and my girl at the time called 911. We continued with cpr for about 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived. The emt's shocked the man literally 5 times, got a slight pulse and hauled him away. I never heard if he lived or died. That man turned the craziest shade of blue. I want to believe most people would do the right thing, not sure wtf was going on in that video.
As an asian dude myself, I"m ashamed of stories like this, and while do I agree that a lot asians (especially in China) seem to lack openness and culture and personality.........what WTF DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND HOW ASIAN MEN ARE PERCEIVED ? And like a lot of your posts, its completely bigot and utterly ignorant ,something that I hardly ever bring up and accuse people(s) of.
Contrary to the image often portrayed in Western media, Chinese police have absolutely no power or authority. Most drivers would speed right beside them. Some drunk drivers would beat them up after getting stopped (there are videos). I don't think most are even trained. Yes I'm Chinese.
I would hope something like that would get thrown out of court immediately. If it was thrown out, I believe I would help again. If I lost, I'm sure I would have second thoughts.
