Nakita ko lang tong video sa youtube about a 2 year old chinese girl who gets hit and run over by a vehicle 2 times but no one even dare to help. Di ko alam na ganito pala sa China. Nakakalungkot.

History:
If you are not aware, there is this case of a man named Peng Yu in 2006 who helped a woman to the hospital after she had fallen on a bus only to have the old woman accuse him of knocking her down. The Nanjing judge in that case ultimately ruled that common sense dictated that only the person who hit her would take her to the hospital, setting a precedent that continues only further discourages and reinforces many Chinese people's wariness to help others in similar situations.

In China, this kind of situation is referred to as the 'Peng Yu' effect. Before you condemn then, you have to understand their situation. The law right now in China means that many victims of traffic accidents, or people who have fallen ill in the street have actually successfully sued the people that helped them for sums of money that could easily destroy lives, even if there is no evidence that they are the ones that caused the accident (because they were not).
