Recent video about 2-years-old girl getting run over by 2 vans in China..
18 witnesses ignored the incident, eventually she was saved by a garbage collector.
WARNING: Don't view the video if you think you can't take it.
Story of the incident taken from liveleak.com:
------------------------------------------------------
A two-year-old toddler was run over by two vans and mortally wounded,
after which 18 people passed her indifferently in south China's
Guangdong Province.
Thanks to the 19th passer-by, a woman
garbage collector who came to her aid about seven minutes after the
first hit, the girl didn't die immediately in last Thursday's incident.
But doctors said the girl died yesterday from severe brain injuries she
had suffered in the accident.
Police have detained both drivers.
After the surveillance video of the incident was put online yesterday, many
netizens condemned the 18 passers-by who could have helped the girl
avoid the second accident. The case was the latest to bring home the
question of whether people today are too cold-blooded to help, or
whether it's smart to stay away from an accident to avoid the chance of
being accused of responsibility by the victim.
The girl, identified by her parents as Yueyue, was knocked down by a van about
5:30pm last Thursday, when walking alone in a hardware wholesaling
market in the city of Foshan. The car driver stopped for a while after
the front wheel rolled over the girl. But he sped away soon and the rear
wheel crushed her again.
A witness walked around the girl lying
on the narrow street without stopping, the surveillance camera showed.
Then a biker and a pedestrian passed her but ignored the girl struggling
in a pool of blood.
A second van driver, who didn't see the
girl, crushed her again and fled the scene. After the second hit,
Yueyue became motionless.
Over the ensuing five minutes, 15 people passed her and each of them just took a look. None stopped to lend a hand.
Then finally, about seven minutes after the girl was hit by the first van,
the trash collector came to her aid. She rushed to help her sit up but
Yueyue was paralyzed. So the woman moved her from the middle of the
street to the side. She yelled for help and Yueyue's mother came and
held her daughter in her arms.
Yueyue was rushed to the
General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command, where she remained in
the intensive care unit until she died yesterday afternoon.
"She couldn't breathe on her own," said Wen Qiang, deputy director of the ICU department.
The incident is the latest example of passers-by acting indifferently to
victims injured in crimes. In this case, some blamed the parents for
letting the girl walk on the street alone. More criticized the
phenomenon of people passing by without helping, caused at least in part
by previous extortion attempts from the injured and their families who
have sometimes tried to blame the person helping.

Arthur Ashe adalah petenis kulit hitam dari Amerika yang memenangkan tiga gelar juara Grand Slam; US Open (1968), Australia Open (1970), dan Wimbledon (1975).
Pada tahun 1979 ia terkena serangan jantung yang mengharuskannya menjalani operasi bypass. Setelah dua kali operasi, bukannya sembuh ia malah harus menghadapi kenyataan pahit, terinfeksi HIV melalui transfusi darah yang ia terima.
Seorang pengemarnya menulis surat kepadanya,"Mengapa Tuhan memilihmu untuk menderita penyakit itu?"
Ashe menjawab,"Di dunia ini ada 50 juta anak yang ingin bermain tenis,
diantaranya 5 juta orang yang bisa belajar bermain tenis,
500 ribu orang belajar menjadi pemain tenis profesional,
50 ribu datang ke arena untuk bertanding,
5000 mencapai turnamen grandslam,
50 orang berhasil sampai ke Wimbeldon,
empat orang di semifinal, dua orang berlaga di final.
Dan ketika saya mengangkat trofi Wimbledon, saya tidak pernah bertanya kepada Tuhan,
"Mengapa saya?", Jadi ketika sekarang saya dalam kesakitan, tidak seharusnya juga saya bertanya kepada Tuhan,
"Mengapa saya?"
Sadar atau tidak, kerap kali kita merasa hanya pantas menerima hal-hal baik dalam hidup ini; kesuksesan, karier yang mulus, kesehatan. Ketika yang kita terima justru sebaliknya; penyakit, kesulitan, kegagalan, kita menganggap Tuhan tidak adil. Sehingga kita merasa berhak untuk menggugat Tuhan.
Tetapi tidak demikian. Ia berbeda dengan kebanyakan orang. Itulah cerminan hidup beriman; tetap teguh dalam pengharapan, ada pun bila beban hidup yang menekan berat.
Ketika menerima sesuatu yang buruk, ingatlah saat - saat ketika kita menerima yang baik...
"Winning horse doesn't know why it runs the race. It runs because of beats & pain. Life is a race, God is your rider.
So if u are in a pain, then think, God wants You to win"

Suatu hari saya naik sebuah taxi dan menuju ke
Bandara. Kami melaju pd jalur yg benar ketika tiba-tiba sebuah mobil hitam
melompat keluar dr tempat parkir tepat di depan kami. Supir taxi menginjak pedal
rem dalam-dalam hingga ban mobil berdecit dan berhenti hanya beberapa cm dari
mobil tersebut.
Pengemudi mobil hitam tsb mengeluarkan kepalanya
& memaki ke arah kami. Supir taxi hanya tersenyum & melambai pada orang
tersebut.
Saya sangat heran dgn sikapnya yg bersahabat. saya
bertanya, "Mengapa anda melakukannya? Orang itu hampir merusak mobil anda dan
dapat saja mengirim kita ke rumah sakit!"
Saat itulah saya belajar dr supir taxi tsb
mengenai apa yg saya kemudian sebut "Hukum Truk Sampah".
Ia menjelaskan bahwa byk orang seperti truk
sampah. Mrk berjalan keliling membawa sampah, seperti frustrasi, kemarahan,
kekecewaan. Seiring dgn semakin penuh kapasitasnya, semakin mereka membutuhkan
tempat utk membuangnya, & seringkali mereka membuangnya kpd anda. Jgn ambil
hati, tersenyum saja, lambaikan tangan, berkati mereka, lalu lanjutkan hidup.
Jgn ambil sampah mereka utk kembali membuangnya
kpd orang lain yang anda temui, di tempat kerja, di rumah atau dlm
perjalanan.
Intinya, orang yg sukses adalah orang yang tidak membiarkan
"truk sampah" mengambil alih hari-hari mereka dgn merusak suasana hati.
Hidup ini terlalu singkat utk bangun di pagi hari
dgn penyesalan, maka kasihilah orang yg memperlakukan anda dgn benar, berdoalah
bagi yg tidak.
Hidup itu 10% mengenai apa yg kau buat dengannya
dan 90% ttg bagaimana kamu menghadapinya.
Hidup bukan mengenai menunggu badai berlalu, tapi
ttg bagaimana belajar menari dlm hujan.
Selamat menikmati hidup yang diberkati & bebas
dari "sampah"

*What Goes Around, Comes Around
[Perbuatan Baik Akan Kembali Kepada Kita Lagi]
The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the
finer things of life. Her coat was new.
[Dengan perlahan-lahan orang itu
memandang keatas. Tampak olehnya seorang wanita yang pasti biasa hidup
mewah. Mantel bulunya tampak baru.]
She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life. His first
thought
was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done
before.
[Kelihatan dia seperti seorang yang tidak pernah kelaparan
seumur hidupnya. Sekilas pada benaknya dia terpikir bahwa tentu wanita
itu
akan mengolok-olok kepadanya seperti yang sering dilakukan banyak
mereka
sebelumnya.]
"Leave me alone," he growled... To his amazement,the woman continued
standing. She was smiling - her even white teeth displayed in dazzling
rows..
["Tinggalkan aku sendirian," gumamnya dengan marah... Tapi dia
merasa heran karena wanita itu tetap berdiri disitu. Dia tersenyum -
sehingga sebaris giginya yang putih rata tampak berkilauan.]
"Are you hungry?" she asked. "No," he answered sarcastically. "I've

"One single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer. " G. E. Lessing DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON? Those who are still single may learn something from here. Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage... During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Here's the answer. |
