"What would you do," reminds me of my witness in China.

Well, my friends, how are you doing? 

Three days ago, I stumbled upon a videoclip on a local video-sharing website which turned out to be the American TV programme, "What would you do," presented by ABC News. Since then, I found myself was (or, "found I was") much immersed in watching one episode after another, for the simple reason that you can find almost alike identical (or, "similar") social problems in China, which interests me, ranging from what if someone slips down or sexual harassment in public places, to parenting etc.

Unfortunately, unlike what I saw in the video, people soothed the victim by hugging him/her or giving some verbal encouragement, albeit they didn't know each other at all. Chinese people probably will never hug a stranger or even feel embarrassed to have any sort of eye-contact. The reason, perpaps Oriental people are more of an introverted kind. So this could be part of the reason when we saw someone is in trouble in public, we don't want to be embarrassed and so we moved away.

Characteristics is are one matter, but immorality is a different story.
Let me share with you this type of real News coverage in China if you think they're "new" to you: A senile citizen fell down without anyone else witnessing except one compassionate passer-by, who took the injured to the hospital. and Later when the relatives of the senile came, instead of expressing gratitude, they alleged it was the passer-by who knocked the senile down. The excuse is "If you are not the one, then why did you take him/her to the hospital? You did this for just out of a feeling of guilt." The court ruled that the man had to foot the medical bill.

The readers outside China might have been pissed off, but I dare to say if you ever ask your Chinese friend around you "Will you lend a hand to someone who slips down on the ground in public?" nine out of ten they of them will tell you that if it's an aged guy, they won't, for the fear of what might happen just as those previous examples.

I know it is wrong, but I am too feeble to challenge the mainstream.

Programme is the spelling in UK English. Americans spell it program. Either is acceptable in an international forum like italki.

The word "senile" is defined as someone who suffers from Alzheimers or dementia. If they are just old, we say senior citizen.

When using a quote, you must still capitalize the first word of the sentence, even if its within a larger sentence.

Quotation marks are the double has ( " ), apostrophes are the single has ( ' ). They are not interchangable.

It's nice to see you back!
