How to avoid or not avoid a little Chinese girl?


A brand new game was invented in China and is now part of the top 10 best-played games ever. This Chinese game is the following: at the start of the game you have to target a small and absolutely cute little Chinese girl around 2 years old who just leave her mom’s hand and start wandering around…


The mom is absolutely focused on something else, not at all having her 2 years old daughter in mind, just thinking on much more important things in life than her cute little daughter… New dress? New beauty products? Or simply fresh food? Who knows and who cares? The result will soon be the same.



So, as I said you have to target the small Chinese girl, you’re driving a nice grey van with your lovely friend aside you, you’re accelerating and finally hit and run over the small baby girl. Then, your grey van stop when the front tires has run over the body, you hesitate a little bit and accelerate again to run over the baby girl with the back tires this time, and finally you disappear from the picture. Stopping is forbidden. The game continues only if you go on your way without any look backward.


Then, second round of the game, the next target is to walk around without looking at her, still moving, still alive, trying to move, probably crying in pain. You have 7 minutes and you have to be at least 17 persons to pass by without a look, without helping, avoiding carefully the place where the small girl is slowly dying.


Game over if you look at her (it) and stop. And you’re the winner if you have managed these two tasks before the dearly attentionate mother is looking back again to try to find her kid!



When I saw this movie on TV few weeks ago, to be honest I thought it was a kind of a sick joke, something quite sordid, too sordid to be true. I was so shocked that I could not even cry, I felt like vomiting. I felt also ashamed to be human, to be part of this humanity that can let things like that happening in a supposedly modern world, a world supposedly enlighten with progress.


First of all, the mother not paying attention and coming back to scene after the incident almost after 10 minutes. Would you let your 2 years old baby girl without surveillance for so long in a busy public market place? Well, sorry, but, no way!


Secondly, this bloody guy driving his bloody car, stopping a first time after running over the baby with the front tyre, deciding to drive away and therefore running over the baby a second time.


And the last straw that broke the camel back, the 17 persons who walked across the dying baby without moving a single finger during 7 long minutes…




Where are we heading? What can explain such indifference? The best excuse I have found about this event is that apparently in China few time before an old lady fell in the street and got her leg broken, she was helped by a young man who have brought her to the hospital. And apparently this poor kind guy have had to pay a 1000 euros fine because he was the last person in contact with the old lady and therefore responsible for what have happened to her.


Therefore it seems that in capitalist china a baby girl life is worth 1000 euros. And that no one will help a dying baby because they MAY have to pay a fine if the baby is disabled after the accident, even if they’re not responsible for the accident. Since when saving a life is nothing in balance of 1000 euros? Since when are we evaluating money when a single gesture would have help the baby?


The conclusion goes to the driver who said that he would prefer the baby to be dead so like that he would have to pay less money than if she was surviving and disabled for life. Apparently, there is a god somewhere, probably asleep, because the driver prayers have been fulfilled. The baby girl died few days after the accident.
