Your reasons are consistent with those from foreign observers who have spent years in China. What is interesting, is hearing them echoed and confirmed by someone who is native-born. Please keep producing your informative videos. They are singularly valuable as your perspective on mainland China is unique.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to take decades, if not more, for China to catch up with Taiwan in this area because of Mainland China's sociocultural history. Take Hong Kong (my birthplace) as an example. It doesn't share Mainland China's horrific sociocultural history, yet, despite close to 150 years of British colonial rule and a highly educated and wealthy population, it still lags behind Taiwan when it comes to manners, civility, and kindness. (But I have to say Hong Kong is still WAY better than Mainland China regarding all these three traits. Let's say it may take Mainland China several decades to catch up with Hong Kong, and probably another century to catch up with Taiwan.) These qualities are unique to the people of Taiwan, and it needs historians, sociologists, and psychologists to explain why this is so.
This breaks my heart. God bless you; you have a good heart I can see it. I pray for your safety and also that China would evolve and be free someday. Also your English is really good.

@@SimonYu However, Samaritans are known from the Bible because of the story of the "Good Samaritan" who offers help, so if you say "Samaritan", most people will know what you are talking about anyway.
thank you for the video, happy to see some nice people are still left in china :) you're lucky to have a very kind wife and the kitty is cute. it's very important to always do the right thing no matter the cost.
Fascinating discussion. The effect of the Cultural Revolution is undeniable. In my interactions with people of Chinese descent, I noticed the cultural characteristics you mentioned and assumed it was a spin-off of Confucian rules which seem to tie most Asians up socially into continuous knots and mind games. But what you describe is also common in my experience in Thailand which of course has a large Overseas Chinese immigrant culture influence. It is the norm for Thais to avoid Good Samaritan situations for the same reasons you outline, it can backfire easily and the mind games that are ever present can really cause trouble for not only oneself but ones family which is unacceptable. Nobody can be trusted and no good deed goes unpunished which is not too much of an exaggeration. There is some moderation of all this in some Thai as Buddhist teaching put great emphasis on compassion, empathy and mercy but most Thais are just looking out for themselves and rightly so as it can be very dog eat dog. Foreigners are often seen as exempt from all this mental gymnastics as they are not expected to think like Thai and are all crazy any way, at least that is not far from common Thai opinion. .
Thanks for the post Simon. The key to carry from this is that everyone is indirectly affected by this type of behavior all over the world. Sure, there are reasons for this type of behavior but now is the time to encourage information exchanges that shows how everyone can benefit by helping not harming each other. Remember 什麼人都有才成其為世界! I used to tell my classmate in Beijing this.
Good episode Simon. A documentary series by Ruben Terlou was very popular for a while in Holland. People loved it. A Dutch fotografer travelled along the Yangtze River and interviewed a lot of people. He also met a couple of good Samaritans on the way. Very interesting and sometimes heartbreaking. Life in China has been very though and many people are still struggling. I like to watch your videos and I think you are a good Samaritan too. Keep it going and good luck!
Very interesting content Simon! I liked the walking backwards at the end - very original. Make sure to take care about you and your family's privacy. I don't want anything to happen to you
Thanks Simon I always wondered why Chinese were not good Samaritans, you explain things so well and connect the dots. I think many just assume that it is part of Chinese Culture without looking too deeply at the history. I pray that the younger generation can overcome the shadow of brutality caused by the CCP and that there can be Freedom and Human Dignity for everyone
ekami here in the U.S. people used to sue people who helped them claiming they were injured. So that sent a chill because people here would try to correct a wrong is they see one. That's when many states passed the Good Samaritan laws. It appears China has a convoluted version of the law and they are not being serious. If they really care about their own people they would pass similar Good Samaritan laws. Or better people can drive around with cameras on their dashboard with cameras running to protect themselves.
Here in my country, we often look up to Good Samaritans as heroes, those that go above and beyond for the GOOD of humanity and help the person who is needing help, this is usually taught by parents and encouraged by stories listened to by young people told by teachers and parents. It won’t happen overnight but it can become a righteous way of thinking and acting over time. Find a story such as Aesop’s fables “the lion and the mouse “ and tell it to the children and then you and your child can discuss this foible (tale) together.there are many lessons to be learned through Aesop’s fables an old Greek ( I think ) philosopher.
As a tort lawyer in England and a person trained in first aid and AED , it's virtually the opposite. There is generally immunity in law to someone doing their best to help. Eg, if I broke someone's ribs whilst doing heart compressions) Also whilst not legally expected of a bystander, it is almost a duty to step in and help wherever possible. And failing to do so, such as not reporting a crime (ie the attempted rape in your story) could lead to the person who didn't report it facing a charge. I won't bore you with case law haha. Just thought I'd point out the difference.
For those who stayed to the very end, when everyone are walking backward, you was walking forward said something about you. You can make a difference by being different.
Simon, I think you're one of the few Chinese TH-camrs who presents a fair and honest view points. Will continue to follow your channels. I've lived in China for several years before, so I know how things are there, and totally agree with everything you said on this topic. Let me just say that in general there's a lack of trust between people in China. Lacking trust, people are less likely to help each other (being good Samaritan) or more hesitant to do things together (business partnership) where people tend to get cheated - I've actually been a victim, unfortunately. I hope you can also do an episode on this topic and give some good advice to potential business partners in China.
I recommend the Chinese/Canadian movie "Old Stone" 老石. About a taxi driver who saves a 外卖小哥 (food delivery boy)'s life after having a crash. It's about all the problems he faces after being a good samaritan. It's a really good suspense & psychological thriller, and quite recent. And, is banned in China.
@Hey Ho Just watched it because of your comment. Good recommendation. That was a tough movie to watch, so tragic. That ending tho!😮😪 I literally looked away...but thankfully the scene froze.
You are the hope of China, open minded, tolerant, peaceful, and tells it like it is with a mind on your own, not automatically follow the orders of dictators blindly.
Great information. Good camera trick in the end. Very cool. About your topic, if I was in mainland China, I will adopt the same rules as the Chinese to protect myself and not land in jail. Other than that, I am willing to be a good samaritan in a country that allows me too.
2:43 is about Chinese Cultural Revolutionary movement 50 years ago that have many people reporting their family members, report their professors. That is so sad! Btw, awesome traditional Chinese caption. The translation is very clear and eloquent, but be careful if the content revealed too much.
Cynthia - thank you for explaining those behaviors that look bad - it’s nice to know that there’s a reasonable explanation - even though it is not fair to not allow people to have feelings that are apart of being a human - no wonder people lose their humanity
Yeah dude, I've heard many stories of other foreigners fighting back when being attacked or threatened then being punished more, kind of sucks but yeah that's just how it is here. Good if you have Chinese friends that can vouch for you/help you
Smithy lincoln Yu Haiming case is very debatable in 2018.A drunk man called Liu Hailong failed to use a broadsword to kill Yu Haiming and dropped his broadsword by accident.Then Liu wanted to return to his car,but Yu picked it up and killed Liu.The case is very popular with Chinese people,especially us lawyers.Eventually,the Supreme People’s Court ruled Yu’s innocent
Simon, thank you always for your informative video. I respect your courage and honesty, but also I worry about your safety. Please be careful and take care of yourself.
explained very well I can see why the people don't want to get involved China needs capitalism not communism here in the states the Chinese people for the most part are very compassionate and very good neighbors they will go out of their way to help you they have business which they manage the employees that work there are kind and are of mixed nationalities. this has been my experience.
One more possible reason. I am Chinese and living in USA. In my point of view (baby boomers generation), culturally, Chinese in general value money as top priority in life. The love of money is pretty extreme compare to other ethnic groups. Favorite hobbies: saving $ , hunt for best deals, love free stuffs...etc. We often make our decisions based on money (cost). If it is too "expensive" (even though we have cash in the bank), we won't spend it. Since time is money, therefore we value our time very high also. Help some strangers, go vote, do community work, participate volunteer work...etc are not popular. My mentality was like that when I was younger. I am actually writing this comment because I am better now.
I so agree. I'm such a tightwad. Every new year I promise to do better and enjoy the life I'm given but fear always holds me back. I'm still trying --- work in progress.
I've seen some of the younger generation doing things to protect animals and such. I think in that way people are getting better about trying to do the right thing. I still see a lot of the younger generation not helping other people though. I think it is getting better though. Perhaps it just needs time.
0:55 I saw that video when I was 21 and I was crying so hard for that little girl. I am now 31 year's old and I almost cried again after seeing that video again.
Was there a period in Chinese long 4000+ year history when there was more altruism? My personal experience is that mainlanders (met many) and Hong Kongers (met few) are less altruistic than other people. The few Taiwanese I have met were quite compassionate people. I also met people Chinese from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Peru - these were cold/stern, but very honest and disciplined. Just some random observations.
There were definitely some discussions of being altruistic and empathetic towards others in Chinese culture (as shown in some typical sayings), but the teachings may not be so well-spread as people in the past were not all well-educated (often to the point of being illiterate) and the majority were peasants during the dynasties. Under the Communists, there are more people educated, but still there are a great number of uneducated or poorly educated people. I think the issue needs to be tackled by both better education and media promotion. Since the problem has been around for a while, it won't get better overnight, but hopefully with more educated masses, things will turn for the better.
I am from Singapore. I grew up in Singapore as a hearing impaired person, only having learnt English language. Since the Ministry of Education in Singapore has prioritised English as the main language so we the hearing impaired people learnt only English. I had some bad experiences in Beijing. I got hungry somewhere near the hotel. I tried to turn on VPN and used the google translate app. I translated the message into Chinese words and asked the passerby for some directions to the nearby eateries. The passerby simply ignored me and I got helpless. Even I was shocked that the monk ignored me as well. I was thinking how come this kind of religious person could ignore me when I helplessly asked for directions to any nearby eating places. I was not in rags or worn out clothes. After the trip to Beijing, I went back to Shanghai and felt relieved that I am more familiar with metro and some places. I felt that Shanghai is way a lot better than Beijing
I would love to see your grandparents talk about it. But..... I fear for your family if you guys do.....so maybe forget about it and continue with small videos like this.
You can get miscarriages of justice in all these sorts of incidents Simon even in the west but basically there's usually someone at fault and he gets the fine in the west not the person most injured we have a fair system but like I said you can get miscarriages of justice
I think it’s a matter of being raised differently growing up. Ever since I was little I was taught that we must help our fellow humans. When I see someone in need I’m expected to help anyway I can. I was taught the golden rule treat others the way I would like to treated. I was as taught that it’s morally wrong to be selfish. I remember a few years ago I was loading my car in a parking lot when an elderly man collapsed and stopped breathing. I called emergency services and gave him cpr until help came. It never crossed my mind at any point helping him to put myself first or my needs first.
it's so refreshing to see a mainland chinese with an open mind. Keep up the great work

你好，我是一位大陸女婿，我幾年前與我老婆回大陸過年，在全家出遊的路上，就遇過一次有位年約五十幾歲的人，騎著三輪車自己翻車摔倒了（當時路上有積雪所以路面比較滑），我當時看到時馬上請我妹婿停車，想去幫忙那個人，可是我的岳父母馬上就阻止了我，要我不管怎樣都不可以去，因為他們說幫了他很有可能會被“訛錢”，當時的我心裡真的很不是滋味，所以我就和他們爭論了起來，因為我覺得世上壞心的人不會那麼多，而且我們車上還有行車記錄器，但是一番激烈的爭論後，他們就直接跟我說。。別把大陸的人想的像台灣人一樣好。。當下我就很無語了。。最後我想說，既然不讓我去幫他，那麼讓我幫他打個電話叫警察或是救護車也好。。他們還是阻止了我。。這件事情讓我到現在都還有點無法釋懷。。

@@DLAfvr 國民黨的白色恐怖與文革的差別實在太大，黨國教育只是利用國家機器包括軍隊和警察來控制言論和思想，並沒有發動群眾來進行階級鬥爭和大規模的檢舉揭發，值得一提的是，在黨國教育和威權統治之下，蔣中正不斷灌輸「做堂堂正正中國人」的傳統儒家思想，其中包括服從，但也包括仁義忠孝的思想，中華傳統文化在台灣得到完好的保留和繼承，而在中國大陸的文革中，中國傳統文化遭到毀滅性的抹除，破四舊、燒孔廟不僅毀滅了中華文化在實物上的存在，更把這些傳統文化、思想、道德從中國人精神裡抽離了出來，造成了思想的真空，接著就是改革開放之後從上的拜金主義、物質享受、追逐利益不管一切倫理道德，把西方資本主義壞的一面注入到這種思想的真空之中，基於如此，造成了中國人現在這種冷漠、缺乏同理心、喜歡爭搶鬥爭的群體特質。

I love the backwards walking part at the end. Very cool, well done.
Love Taiwan. Many friendly people.
Fascinating discussion. The effect of the Cultural Revolution is undeniable. In my interactions with people of Chinese descent, I noticed the cultural characteristics you mentioned and assumed it was a spin-off of Confucian rules which seem to tie most Asians up socially into continuous knots and mind games. But what you describe is also common in my experience in Thailand which of course has a large Overseas Chinese immigrant culture influence. It is the norm for Thais to avoid Good Samaritan situations for the same reasons you outline, it can backfire easily and the mind games that are ever present can really cause trouble for not only oneself but ones family which is unacceptable. Nobody can be trusted and no good deed goes unpunished which is not too much of an exaggeration. There is some moderation of all this in some Thai as Buddhist teaching put great emphasis on compassion, empathy and mercy but most Thais are just looking out for themselves and rightly so as it can be very dog eat dog. Foreigners are often seen as exempt from all this mental gymnastics as they are not expected to think like Thai and are all crazy any way, at least that is not far from common Thai opinion. .
除了小時候學校就教導要幫助弱小，台灣在2013年推出了「緊急醫療救護法」，在路上對陌生人施救，都不用負法律與賠償責任，所以台灣不會擔心遇到碰瓷的，碰到車禍或暈倒都會馬上有人去幫忙
Peggy Li 不知道谁说过一句话：台湾的什么最美，人最美。

Thanks for the post Simon. The key to carry from this is that everyone is indirectly affected by this type of behavior all over the world. Sure, there are reasons for this type of behavior but now is the time to encourage information exchanges that shows how everyone can benefit by helping not harming each other. Remember 什麼人都有才成其為世界! I used to tell my classmate in Beijing this.

社會的現貌是由一點點累積造成的，不會是轉眼之間變成的，在我們身處在的社會，國家，每個人都有責任每個人都是局內人，沒有人可以說自己是局外人，面對問題雖然不是發生在自己身上，但是選擇冷漠或是裝作沒事或無感，其實就是幫兇，台灣也是一點點在修正跟改變，台灣也是從一次次的新聞，從媒體跟社群網路裡逐一建立起共識，首先一個媒體的自由度是必要的，要容許媒體的報導跟言論自由，再來是法制，法律的問題不是在建立或是修訂條文，而是如何使用跟執行，法律常常是被當成一種高官權貴的武器，如果執法不嚴或是朝令夕改，都是會讓人民不能相信法律的，一旦法律不被信任成為共識，就沒有人會遵守法律，每個人都想盡辦法鑽漏洞做壞事，人心的失望常常是三年五年之間就崩解了，那時候沒有標準沒有一個中心規範的生活，對一般小老百姓是無助可怕的，對於一些壞人卻是最好的，因為他們不要那些規範，那些規範從來也是管不住他們的，只是一個獲得利益的手段跟話術而已。
最好的規範是道德，法律是最後的手段

Good episode Simon.
A documentary series by Ruben Terlou was very popular for a while in Holland. People loved it. A Dutch fotografer travelled along the Yangtze River and interviewed a lot of people. He also met a couple of good Samaritans on the way. Very interesting and sometimes heartbreaking. Life in China has been very though and many people are still struggling.
I like to watch your videos and
I think you are a good Samaritan too. Keep it going and good luck!
Very interesting content Simon! I liked the walking backwards at the end - very original. Make sure to take care about you and your family's privacy. I don't want anything to happen to you
謝謝你的觀點幫台灣發聲，希望更多外國朋友透過你的頻道來了解及關心一些公共議題
I agree that Taiwanese are very kind. Now I understand the mainlanders better. 👍
Thanks Simon I always wondered why Chinese were not good Samaritans, you explain things so well and connect the dots. I think many just assume that it is part of Chinese Culture without looking too deeply at the history. I pray that the younger generation can overcome the shadow of brutality caused by the CCP and that there can be Freedom and Human Dignity for everyone
ekami here in the U.S. people used to sue people who helped them claiming they were injured. So that sent a chill because people here would try to correct a wrong is they see one. That's when many states passed the Good Samaritan laws. It appears China has a convoluted version of the law and they are not being serious. If they really care about their own people they would pass similar Good Samaritan laws. Or better people can drive around with cameras on their dashboard with cameras running to protect themselves.
列舉的事件，我也在我們這裡的新聞報導裡看過，影片裡都有憑有據，再加長期觀察的看法，比較客觀！
現在真的無國界，不管書籍、網路，還是國內或出國，總會接觸不同國家的人 ，沒有言之有物，也沒法持續分享。影片內容、字幕、語調、畫質，都不錯，最棒是同步開小視窗，就說的內容提供相對應之影片、資料，儼然像新聞主播般的製作。很棒！
Great video, I like your perspective
Here in my country, we often look up to Good Samaritans as heroes, those that go above and beyond for the GOOD of humanity and help the person who is needing help, this is usually taught by parents and encouraged by stories listened to by young people told by teachers and parents. It won’t happen overnight but it can become a righteous way of thinking and acting over time. Find a story such as Aesop’s fables “the lion and the mouse “ and tell it to the children and then you and your child can discuss this foible (tale) together.there are many lessons to be learned through Aesop’s fables an old Greek ( I think ) philosopher.
Keep 'em coming, Simon. love your videos..... thumps up ... helloo from Amsterdam

You are a very caring man. Please stay safe and thank you for sharing
As a tort lawyer in England and a person trained in first aid and AED , it's virtually the opposite. There is generally immunity in law to someone doing their best to help. Eg, if I broke someone's ribs whilst doing heart compressions) Also whilst not legally expected of a bystander, it is almost a duty to step in and help wherever possible. And failing to do so, such as not reporting a crime (ie the attempted rape in your story) could lead to the person who didn't report it facing a charge. I won't bore you with case law haha. Just thought I'd point out the difference.
For those who stayed to the very end, when everyone are walking backward, you was walking forward said something about you. You can make a difference by being different.
在台灣行政院2012年宣布通過救人免責條款~
就是救護人員以外之人，為免除他人生命之急迫危險，
使用緊急救護設備或施予急救措施者，
適用民法、刑法緊急避難免責之規定。
救護人員於非值勤期間，前項規定亦適用之
我想應該是因為這個原因~
所以反而在台灣更多的民眾願意對身旁的人伸出援手~
畢竟今天你救人一命或許以後別人也會救你一命~
hello，我想问一下如果是我去撞了别人，再去施救，也会被免责吗？

Thanks Simon...You explained a lot! Makes sense now,
Serpetza directed me here.
Me too
Simon, I think you're one of the few Chinese TH-camrs who presents a fair and honest view points. Will continue to follow your channels. I've lived in China for several years before, so I know how things are there, and totally agree with everything you said on this topic. Let me just say that in general there's a lack of trust between people in China. Lacking trust, people are less likely to help each other (being good Samaritan) or more hesitant to do things together (business partnership) where people tend to get cheated - I've actually been a victim, unfortunately. I hope you can also do an episode on this topic and give some good advice to potential business partners in China.
I recommend the Chinese/Canadian movie "Old Stone" 老石. About a taxi driver who saves a 外卖小哥 (food delivery boy)'s life after having a crash. It's about all the problems he faces after being a good samaritan. It's a really good suspense & psychological thriller, and quite recent. And, is banned in China.
@Hey Ho
Just watched it because of your comment. Good recommendation. That was a tough movie to watch, so tragic. That ending tho!😮😪
I literally looked away...but thankfully the scene froze.
這也是現有政權需要的，人民越是冷漠、自私、本位主義，
這樣人民不容易形成力量、共識，政府要處裡任何一個人，才不會有人站出來，

Good video n well said mate
碰到事, 我的大陸朋友永远是一句话 " 少管閑事" 這時候我才知道我们之间的距离
这样的人在你帮助别人的时候会发自内心的觉得你很傻
一方面可能文革帶給中國太深遠的影響, 一方面台灣的教育, 是日行一善, 這是你走入台灣的小學, 幾乎所有小學布告欄或者校區都會有的標語, 台灣的學校教育不會教導要愛黨. 愛國, 但一定會時常教導學生要"多做好事多說好話" , 父母的教育也是, 要聽師長的話, 幫助同學, 長久下來從學校及家庭教育延伸至社會, 會起很大的作用.
台灣當然也有對社會冷漠的人, 但比例來講, 絶大多數都是樂於助人的.
還有一個我覺得對台灣人民很重要的因素, 就是宗教, 佛祖慈悲為懷, 勸人向善, 善有善報. 惡有惡報, 因果業障報應輪迴的觀念, 舉頭三尺有神明等....深耕人民心中, 如果沒有教導慈悲的信仰, 人們心中沒有依歸, 善惡那把尺容易迷失方向, 在台灣就算你不是佛教徒也會深受宗教影響的.

hi bro, I really love your video.
you are the future of China.
I agree with all ur points, couldnt elaborate more on this. The society in PRC is lacking of trust between each other obviously.
The last clip was incredibly funny! And also symbolic.
Hi Simon ，我想回饋你講的兩個司法案例，第一個 彭先生的案例，他若是不小心推倒，導致老婆婆受傷，他送去醫院是合理的。
但是 人性面對司法的時候，會傾向保護自己沒有犯錯，他沒有坦白，但是還是他被判罪，很可能是依據老婆婆推倒的傷勢方向來判斷，於是判有罪。
但是 他到最後才坦承自己不小心推倒老婆婆，這在台灣人應該是判過失，而不是犯罪，然後在輿論的壓力下，加上你們對於司法的不信任，所以會認為法官是恐龍法官，為判罪而判罪，但是這是人之常情，台灣也會這樣，只是輿論的渲染，變成法官誤判好人。
第二案，一個小姐她差點被強姦，有人下去救人，而這個救人的先生被判罪，在台灣是不會這樣判，因為這個算正當防衛，因為台灣也有小偷闖進家，被男主人打死的案例，這個最後男主人判無罪。
其實，你們是相當不信任司法體制的。
再來，台灣所經歷的白色恐怖，也是活在互相舉報 監視的時代，到1990年才沒有，那時候發生的受害人，漸漸可以透過轉型正義去把正義討回來，這是台灣正在努力的方向。
但是 我覺得只要是人都是善良的，不是見死不救，而是你們經歷的文革，對於每個人每個家庭，整個國家對於人性是非常遲疑與害怕的，所以才會遲疑到底對方是否需要被救，或是救人是否會惹上麻煩，台灣也是會，但是感覺你們的社會，這種集團意識的恐懼更明顯。
在中國跟在台灣，因為國情不同，我們所處的社會氛圍不同，判決也會不同。
你是一個很有深度、很有思想、很有想法、且觀察入微的人~
非常好的視頻

If all one can focus on is his own survival, he probably has nothing left over to give to someone else.
Great information. Good camera trick in the end. Very cool. About your topic, if I was in mainland China, I will adopt the same rules as the Chinese to protect myself and not land in jail. Other than that, I am willing to be a good samaritan in a country that allows me too.
2:43 is about Chinese Cultural Revolutionary movement 50 years ago that have many people reporting their family members, report their professors. That is so sad!
Btw, awesome traditional Chinese caption.
The translation is very clear and eloquent, but be careful if the content revealed too much.
“many people reporting their family members, report their professors. ”-----which is exzacly happening in HK right now
幾年前我姐去福建找她老公,出門時忘記帶手錶,等不到我姐夫,急著問路人現在幾點結果竟然沒人願意告訴她,她納悶了半天到底怎麼了,回台灣時說起這件事我們也猜文革時把人與人之間的信任摧毀殆盡,要重新建立起來要花數倍的時間。不過中國人好客可是沒什麼改變,熟識後對客人之好,我們都覺得很窩心。

我這些話是寫給聽過中國說法，但是想要知道不同方向角度，認為還是想要中立或沒有立場，但是想要自己進行思考的人。還有加入我個人對於牆國人的不滿的發洩情緒
當時也發生幾件事情。當時救護車經過的時候，原本擠滿人群的道路頓時讓開一條路讓救護車經過。人們靜坐示威，人們相反警察每次出事都阻止救護人員入場救人。當時有人混進示威人群砸小米的商店入內偷東西，被示威者見到直接抓起來商品放回店內將來亂的小偷綁在燈柱等警察來抓（當時市民還是信任‘警察’的）。我小粉紅和同學不要說這些都沒聽過了，她人不在牆內卻連兩百萬人上街遊行都不知道，也不知道市民的訴求，只以為香港人港獨。喊著我沒有去過中國不應該批評中國？笑死，還這句話給沒住香港來自東北的她
警察第一次開槍的那一天，示威者中槍倒下，失血過多。其他示威者原本可以跑的，但是有一個示威者衝了回去。警察將他撲倒，他還喊著「我不會離開，我有急救經驗，先讓我救他！我不會離開！先讓我救他」（這段影片我看了不同的媒體的拍攝角度，偏什麼顏色的都有藍的黃的，路人拍的，外媒的）
這兩個人是不認識的，因為中期就已經提倡無大台快閃式抗爭。時候那位被救的示威者有點愧疚讓那位返回去救他的抗爭者因而被捕。但是那位本該有美好未來的大學生卻說，他救他是不後悔的。
討厭看到示威者有人性光輝？因為你們想要認為的反派必須是邪惡到底的反派。但是到底是寧願失去自由也要救人的‘反派’有人性，還是連倒地的小女孩都視而不見的祖國人更有人性光輝？
香港人在危急時刻也會站出來了，哪怕不和政治有關。元朗白衣人事件，元朗黑社會白衣人衝進地鐵站無差別攻擊市民。當時也有孕婦。一些男市民用自己的身體護住孕婦，叫人快去叫警察。結果警察拖了許久才到，看到情況，什麼也沒做沒說什麼，轉身離開。市民拍到的都是警察的背影。哪怕把孕婦帶走吧！但是沒有！他們什麼也沒做！
香港人，哪怕在黑暗。也不會為黑暗說話，說真話的記者被警察帶走的時候，有香港市民選擇追著警察的車喊著加油。有人在圍牆外讀書抗議。
相反，呵，祖國人還會為著不救人的路人講話。正常化非正常的事。說「你們也不看看環境的黑暗使人害怕，不救人是正常的」甚至還會批評救人的多管閒事。到現在中國內還不為黑暗說話的中國人我是尊重的，為了人們為了中國想要改變黑暗的，我很難去指責他們為什麼不跑，跑了就沒事了。牆國人，呵，連基本邏輯都快沒了還談什麼人性呢
Very accurate.. brother.. Keep up the good work...
因為幫忙別人的成本比較高，台灣最多是不被謝或說多管閒事，關你屁事，中國可能要花錢消災甚至有人身安全問題，這應該才是幫助別人最大的考量，紐約人也是，幫你打電話叫警察是他們最友善的幫助了，不可能要求別人冒著被槍殺的可能去幫忙

explained very well I can see why the people don't want to get involved China needs capitalism not communism here in the states the Chinese people for the most part are very compassionate and very good neighbors they will go out of their way to help you they have business which they manage the employees that work there are kind and are of mixed nationalities. this has been my experience.
One more possible reason. I am Chinese and living in USA. In my point of view (baby boomers generation), culturally, Chinese in general value money as top priority in life. The love of money is pretty extreme compare to other ethnic groups. Favorite hobbies: saving $ , hunt for best deals, love free stuffs...etc. We often make our decisions based on money (cost). If it is too "expensive" (even though we have cash in the bank), we won't spend it. Since time is money, therefore we value our time very high also. Help some strangers, go vote, do community work, participate volunteer work...etc are not popular. My mentality was like that when I was younger. I am actually writing this comment because I am better now.
I so agree. I'm such a tightwad. Every new year I promise to do better and enjoy the life I'm given but fear always holds me back. I'm still trying --- work in progress.
I've seen some of the younger generation doing things to protect animals and such. I think in that way people are getting better about trying to do the right thing. I still see a lot of the younger generation not helping other people though. I think it is getting better though. Perhaps it just needs time.
@CK H LOL
0:55 I saw that video when I was 21 and I was crying so hard for that little girl. I am now 31 year's old and I almost cried again after seeing that video again.
Was there a period in Chinese long 4000+ year history when there was more altruism? My personal experience is that mainlanders (met many) and Hong Kongers (met few) are less altruistic than other people. The few Taiwanese I have met were quite compassionate people. I also met people Chinese from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Peru - these were cold/stern, but very honest and disciplined. Just some random observations.
There were definitely some discussions of being altruistic and empathetic towards others in Chinese culture (as shown in some typical sayings), but the teachings may not be so well-spread as people in the past were not all well-educated (often to the point of being illiterate) and the majority were peasants during the dynasties. Under the Communists, there are more people educated, but still there are a great number of uneducated or poorly educated people. I think the issue needs to be tackled by both better education and media promotion. Since the problem has been around for a while, it won't get better overnight, but hopefully with more educated masses, things will turn for the better.
I am from Singapore. I grew up in Singapore as a hearing impaired person, only having learnt English language. Since the Ministry of Education in Singapore has prioritised English as the main language so we the hearing impaired people learnt only English. I had some bad experiences in Beijing. I got hungry somewhere near the hotel. I tried to turn on VPN and used the google translate app. I translated the message into Chinese words and asked the passerby for some directions to the nearby eateries. The passerby simply ignored me and I got helpless. Even I was shocked that the monk ignored me as well. I was thinking how come this kind of religious person could ignore me when I helplessly asked for directions to any nearby eating places. I was not in rags or worn out clothes. After the trip to Beijing, I went back to Shanghai and felt relieved that I am more familiar with metro and some places. I felt that Shanghai is way a lot better than Beijing
I would love to see your grandparents talk about it. But..... I fear for your family if you guys do.....so maybe forget about it and continue with small videos like this.

Like your way to explain ur thoughts.
You can get miscarriages of justice in all these sorts of incidents Simon even in the west but basically there's usually someone at fault and he gets the fine in the west not the person most injured we have a fair system but like I said you can get miscarriages of justice
I think it’s a matter of being raised differently growing up. Ever since I was little I was taught that we must help our fellow humans. When I see someone in need I’m expected to help anyway I can. I was taught the golden rule treat others the way I would like to treated. I was as taught that it’s morally wrong to be selfish.
I remember a few years ago I was loading my car in a parking lot when an elderly man collapsed and stopped breathing. I called emergency services and gave him cpr until help came. It never crossed my mind at any point helping him to put myself first or my needs first.
The reason is unconscious... FEAR...
