Stop being ruthless and inhumane

I refer to “Sin Chew Daily, 18 Oct” a news about a shocking accident took place in Guang Zhou, China. A two-year-old girl was twice being knocked down and crashed over by car wheels but the drivers pretended as if nothing had happened, accelerated and freed.

According to the news, a CCTV recorded the scene, and what made people even more frustrated is there were eighteen ‘blinded’ pedestrians who passed by the poor girl but none was willing to lend a helping hand although they could vividly see a pool of blood and the girl was in excruciating pain lying helplessly and fragilely on the road for more than 2 minutes. She was then pulled aside by an old nanny who kept on shouting loudly for help.

Now, the grieving parents are moaning in pain, struggling and wailing as their beloved little queen has just passed away at a hospital yesterday. Why should she suffer like this? Why should she be treated this way? Why should she be the victim of this cruel society?


I have no idea why would this happen to the people and country of so called five thousand years of precious civilization. Values like politeness, respect, humbleness, compassion and etc are supposed to be inculcated into their souls as advocated by Lao Tze or Confucius. But, the fact is not. Knowing how to care and love, willing to help and serve, are also the values stressed and emphasized in traditional Chinese families. But, again, sadly, the fact is not.

I believe that an inhumane society is no better than a bunch of zombies wandering like nobody. They are cold blooded and malevolent. As such, people living there will have no hopes for survive if they face difficulties as no one is willing to lend a helping hand. And so, everyone will be extremely pragmatic and individualistic. They will have no friends, no souls, and no life. Everything is fake and unrealistic.

We as humans, we shall never accept such ruthless act. So, what should we do to ensure that our country and people are living harmoniously, peacefully and compassionately? In my opinion, all parties should hand in hand, work together to make it works. Undoubtedly, schools and parents play the biggest roles in shaping a child’s mind and perception. Worthwhile values should be instilled to children since young.

In short, let’s not be ruthless and inhumane. Let’s be helpful and tender. Well, let’s pray for the pitiful girl, may she rest in peace and hopefully our mighty god will lead her to heaven.
