China Toddler by Nur Erra Fadzerah

As Singaporeans, we grow in a country of strictness and laws that most of us obey. This somehow, lead us to be one of the countries that believe, every wrongdoings did to innocent ones need to receive their punishments. An issue about morality arise when a video of a toddler in China that was left on the street fighting for her life after she was knocked down by two vans spread in the media. Netizens have also expressed outrage about the humanity and morality of the passerbys who did not offer any help upon seeing that pitiful toddler.

There are rumours about China citizens not offering help to any who need it to avoid getting all the blame after all their good deeds. This is a serious matter that the government should look into and take actions on because the whole nation is affected.

Upon watching the video myself, no doubts the first impression is "China people are heartless". It is just upset to see an innocent child going through all those pains. That just changed my impression of that big country. However, i believe not every China citizens are that heartless and it is unfair to those who would have help that little girl if they happen to be there. Hearts of many sank when the news of the death of YueYue was in the media. Even though many knew the chances of her surviving is very slim, no one bear to see that child leaving the world.

In my opinion, the drivers should receive their punishments for their wrongdoings. I'm sure they are aware of what is happening. They should be responsible for all the chaos they created to the whole nation. I'm sure China is having a hard time to regain their reputation from this incident. I believe there are people who trust most of the China people are not heartless like those who appear in the video.

May god bless YueYue.

May Yue Yue Rest In Peace.

I didn't know about this incident until the first Effective Oral Communication's tutorial. When I read the article about this horrific hit-and-run accident, I felt more enraged towards those who ignored her than those who hit her and ran away. I also felt sorry to little yue yue's parents because I have a little brother who is five years old now and if he met an accident like this, I think I will be very heartbroken. Thus, we might never really feel how her parents might have felt when they realised that their daughter was hit by a van and a lorry.

When I saw this picture, I felt that she is really a very cute little girl. However, when I saw this following picture, I was shocked to see how the accident had turned her from a cute little girl who is still enjoying her childhood to a girl who is in a critical condition and under intensive care.

Little yue yue might actually survive if only the passers-by did not ignore her and had immediately came to her rescue the minute she was knocked down by the van. However, nobody came to her rescue until a garbage collector happened to pass by and noticed yue yue. The person who saved her was even being said to want fame and not really wanted to save her. I felt that it was really ridiculous to accuse her of that.

I am also worried that people will have negative impressions that all the people from China are cold-blooded and heartless beings. There might be discrimination towards them. Therefore, in all, I hope that negative impressions on all the people from China are bad and heartless beings will be reduced. I also wish that yue yue will rest in peace now.
