RIP Yue Yue!



Wang Yue (2009 – 21 October 2011), also known as Yue Yue, was a Chinese girl who died after being hit by two vehicles on 13 October 2011 and ignored by 18 people as she lay on the roadway. Her plight was reported to be indicative of the growing apathy in Chinese culture.
Wang lived in the city of Foshan. She wandered outside her home into a narrow market street while her mother was hanging washing. Closed-circuit television cameras captured her being hit by a van and subsequently run over by a small truck. At least 18 people subsequently walked past and failed to assist her, some pausing before moving on. She was eventually rescued by a female rubbish scavenger, Chen Xianmei.
The failure of passers-by to become involved and assist the child was described as a moral numbness seeping through Chinese society.
Wang's parents Wang Chichang and Qu Feifei chose not to blame anyone else for their daughter's death.Qu said "Granny Chen represents the best of human nature, it's the nicest and most natural side of us." The Sina Weibo website attracted more than 4.5 million posts and launched a "stop apathy" online campaign.
The drivers of both vehicles were detained by police.


Synopsis: October 13th afternoon around 5:30, a car accident occurred at the Guangfo Hardware Market in Huangqi of Foshan. A van hit a 2-year-old little girl and then fled. No passersby reached out to help and then another car ran over her. Over the span of 7 minutes, a total of 17 people passing by failed to extend a hand or call the police, up until the 19th person, a garbage scavenger ayi [older woman], who lifted her up after discovering her but the little girl in her arms was like a noodle, immediately collapsing back onto the ground. The trash scavenger ayi called for help, and the little girl's mother, who was in the vicinity, immediately rushed over and rushed her to the hospital.

 Latest news:

A toddler who was twice run over by vans and then ignored by 18 passers-by as she lay critically injured in the street has died, the hospital treating her said today.

Surveillance camera footage of people walking past the two-year-old girl, nicknamed Yue Yue, as she lay bleeding and unconscious, sparked a wave of condemnation and soul-searching on China's popular social networking sites.

A rubbish collector who finally moved the girl to the side of the street in the southern Chinese city of Foshan was hailed as a hero, but the incident also led many online commentators to question the state of Chinese morality.


"Yue Yue died of systemic organ failure," a spokesman from the hospital treating her told AFP, adding that no expense had been spared to try to save the girl, whose parents are migrant workers.

Doctors had earlier said Yue Yue, who had been in a coma since the October 13 incident, was unlikely to survive.

Yue Yue's death was one of the most popular topics on China's weibos - microblogging sites similar to Twitter - as people expressed sorrow and anger over the incident.

"Farewell to little Yue Yue. There are no cars in heaven," wrote one microblogger.

"Yue Yue was consumed for a week by the fake kindness of netizens ... All the wishes are fake and only the 18 passers-by are real. Farewell, and do not be born in China in your next life," another weibo user wrote.

Many commentators speculated that the failure to help Yue Yue was motivated by fear of being blamed for her injuries after a high-profile 2006 case in which a driver who stopped to help an elderly woman was later prosecuted.

Peng Yu, then 26, said he stopped after seeing the woman fall in the eastern city of Nanjing, but she accused him of knocking her down with his car, and a court ordered him to pay her 45,000 yuan ($6900) in damages.

"The judge in Peng Yu's case in Nanjing has destroyed the kindness of a whole nation and it is difficult to recover," one weibo user wrote on Friday.

A commentary in Friday's Global Times daily said the incident had exposed the "dark side" of Chinese society, but rejected suggestions that the law should punish those who failed to help victims.

"It is more appropriate to establish a reward system for those who offer help, rather than punish those who do not," it said.

"The Yue Yue incident reminds us of where China is standing on the ladder of its moral development."

Police in Foshan said the drivers of both vehicles that hit the young girl had been detained and would face trial.

One was detained the night of the accident and the other gave himself up three days later, they said.

PS:What kind of people are these sickos? Instead of rushing the poor girl to the hospital right away, they've just ignores her and passed by. And for this heartless driver, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You've just ran over towards the girl? Damn! The Chi-Com Government must do something about this. I offered my sincere condolences to the parents of Yue Yue. May justice be served! RIP Yue Yue!
