"why was someone standing there long enough to count the 18 people going by in the first place? " it was filmed on a cctv. I know children die every day on the roads but the sadest thing about this was the people who did nothing. | |||

"I'm not surprised it happened because in china they are only allowed one child I think it is, so if they have a girl 9/10 times they are put into homes and left to die because chinese culture leans towards furthering the family name etc so they want little boys... Watched a panorama (or something like that) about it and they TIED toddlers to little wooden baby chairs so they couldn't go looking for food or water outside... Horrendous but that's their 'culture' " But it isnt which is why the impact of the cultural revolution,and you are correct the one child policy and the way they have distorted the cultural norms need to be considered. Re the Chinese treatment of girls and the one child policy...it only applies to Han chinese...and whilst it is still a problem the middle classes tend to just pay the fines. The big problem now is because of the enforced abortions in the 70s and 80s and abandonment of female babies there is a shortage of females,leading to child kidnapping to provide brides. In fact child abduction is a massive problem in China,and some very brave people are trying to fight it and bring it to the attention of the government. To say any culture does not love their children is wrong...my chinese friends would find the British attitude to children incomprehensible...their children are the center of family life,everything is sacrificed for the next generation...(these of course are sterotypes too )But children are deffered to,cherished,the direct translation of the Chinese for child is little friend. How different from our seen but not heard attitudeZ? ps based on living,working in Taiwan not China...which is in many ways a more traditional society | |||

Horrendous but that's their 'culture' Isn't the 'seen but not heard' culture dead and buried? I'm 30 and I was t treat like that... I thought that was in the 50's...?

"I'm reminded of a story about a traveller who was attacked and robbed. A priest and another man of status walked by and ignored him. Luckily a Samaritan walked by. People in dysfunctional societies obsessed with rules do unpleasant, dysfunctional things. Hence the importance of the rabbi and the Levite in the parable of the good samaritan." Oi thats what i said...just more wordily | |||
