Who's to blame for uncaring society?
The story about the girl in Foshan who died after being run over twice by cars has raised public concern.
Almost everyone is blaming the 18 passers-by who didn't stop and help the child. But we need to think about why these people did not want to help the victim.
I believe the mainland's flawed legal system is the major reason for their cold-heartedness.
The Peng Yu case is a good example. Peng was a warm-hearted citizen who tried to help an elderly woman who had fallen, but the woman sued her saviour. And in court, she accused Peng of pushing her. The woman won, and Peng had to pay a big fine.
Many Chinese say they have learned a lesson from Peng's case. So, if a two-year-old girl needs help, who will lend a hand? People are more interested in protecting themselves than helping those in trouble.
