Based on her many years of absorption in China, the author's analysis and commentary on how passers-by could allow a 2-year hit-and-run victim to lie in the road dying is right-on. Her article provides a deep and accurate insight into the present day Chinese psyche. Though many exceptions to "the rule" exist in China, regrettably too many Chinese do fit the profile, maybe upwards of 40% based on my own experienced based gut feel. To be fair, maybe up to 10 or 15% of Americans share similar attributes ... also, far too many. Anyway, reading the article about this poor little girl is worthwhile and and lends insight into Chinese thinking.
God help us ... please,

How can I be proud of my China if we are a nation of 1.4bn cold hearts? | Lijia Zhang | Comment is free | The Observer
Shame on us Chinese! Last Thursday a two-year-old girl was run over twice, about 100 metres from her home in a hardware market district of Foshan, a prosperous city in southern China. As she lay on the ground, writhing in pain, before being hit by the second vehicle, 18 people, on their bicycles, in cars or on foot, passed by but chose to ignore her. Among them a young woman with her own child.via
