One youngster has become the talk of China’s social media for acting as a good Samaritan, which has become increasingly rare in China.
A video has been making the rounds on social media, showing security footage that recorded a traffic accident in Bobai County of southern China’s Guangxi Province on Dec. 2. A three-wheeled taxi hits a young boy dressed in a dark green shirt who was crossing the street. After the taxi flees the scene, the boy, apparently injured, struggles to stand up. The boy eventually lies face-down in the middle of the street.
