(Clearwisdom.net) Major media in various countries have been reporting the sad news that after a two-year-old toddler was run over by two vehicles, 18 passers-by walked past her in indifference. The news shocked everyone who heard it. What is going on here? How could this happen?
A van hit and ran over the little girl, and the driver at first appeared to intend to slow down and stop, but he then hit the accelerator causing the rear wheel of his van to run over the toddler a second time before he drove away. Another truck ignored the little girl lying in the road, and instead accelerated and ran over her himself. Pedestrians behaved in much the same way. They took a blind eye and did nothing to help the dying little girl. None of the eighteen passers-by stopped to attend the toddler, not even making a phone call for help, until a street cleaner saw her and carried the dying baby to the roadside.
This callous indifference towards a helpless child makes people’s hearts tremble with sorrow. How could a society become so cold blooded? Surely it couldn't happen overnight. It must have been a long process, over many years, for the extent of people's indifference to reach this tragic event. Such things are unheard of in other countries in the world, and it is even unprecedented in China’s long five thousand year history. However, similar incidents have become commonplace in today's communist China. People who hear of this horrific incident cannot help but reflect upon what the communist regime has instilled into the minds of Chinese people that they have become so callously indifferent towards each other. Let's take a look at a few things that have happened.
1. Eighteen religious statues destroyed
For over two thousand years, the Chinese people held beliefs in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. People understood the meaning of etiquette and shame and they believed that good would be awarded with good and evil met with evil. However, after the CCP usurped state power, it used the warped Party nature to replace humanity and advocated atheism while promoting their theory of class struggle. During the “Cultural Revolution”, the CCP unscrupulously destroyed traditional culture in the name of “breaking the four olds” (old thoughts, old customs, old habits and old traditions). During all of the CCP’s series of political movements, it always punished the good and promoted evil. After they had failed in their propagation of Communism, they turned to promoting the notion of “putting money above all else”, with the CCP officials taking the lead in corruption and debauchery and in ruining China’s social morality.
The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party quoted Ding Shu from “How Many Cultural Relics Were Committed to Flames” to describe this atrocity. “There was a White Horse Temple production brigade near the temple. The Party branch secretary led peasants to smash the temple in the name of ‘revolution.’ The over 1,000-year-old statues of the Eighteen Arhats created in the Liao Dynasty (916-1125 AD) were destroyed. The Beiye scripture that an eminent Indian monk brought to China 2,000 years ago was burned. A rare treasure, the Jade Horse, was smashed to pieces.”
This only speaks about the destruction in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang of Henan Province, a small part of the total destruction of Chinese traditional culture by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). China’s five thousand years of civilization is based on spiritual beliefs and highly respects morality. The CCP’s deliberate destruction and distortion of China's traditional culture would definitely lead to a state of thought vacuum in people’s minds and confusion over life's values.
2. Eighteen women were stripped naked and thrown into prison cells filled with male inmates
The CCP destroyed China’s traditional culture in an attempt to alter the minds of the Chinese people so as to achieve what they wanted. Consequently, Chinese people's souls were seriously contaminated. Furthermore, the CCP also forbids people to cultivate themselves according to traditional ways of practice. This is clearly shown in their persecution of Falun Gong.
The CCP has spared no effort in their unscrupulous persecution of Falun Gong. According to reports on Clearwisdom.net, the police in Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, stripped 18 female practitioners naked and threw them into prison cells filled with men. What happened next makes one sick with anger. Many of the women told their family members, “You can never imagine the brutality and evilness in this place……”
There are factors rampant in today's China that allow such things to happen. On the one hand, there is the persecution policy implemented by Jiang Zemin when he headed up the regime: to ruin their reputation, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically. On the other hand, the morals of Chinese people today have been ruined by the CCP. The damage is immeasurable. Falun Gong practitioners cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Having such a group can only bring benefit to society. Falun Gong practitioners show consideration for others in all situations and there are countless cases of practitioners sacrificing their own interests for others. However, precisely because they strive to be good people and to speak the truth, they are cruelly persecuted by the CCP. The principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is suppressed, and as a result, “falsehood, evilness and violence” have prevailed across China. What’s going on in this society? What will such a society turn into without any moral basis?
3. Indifference of the 18 passers-by
Coming back to the tragedy in China this past week, after the toddler was hit, 18 passers-by walked past her without stopping to help. This is absolutely not an isolated case. In September last year, street cleaner Ma Xiuying in Xincheng District of Hohhot was run over by a heavy truck carrying coal. Afterward, dozens of trucks followed suit and ran over her at high speed. In the end, Ma Xiuying was no more than a thin layer of skin on the road. Indifference has become a social norm in today’s China.
The indifference shown by the 18 passers-by is not characteristic of just these 18 people. Looking at the heart-broken parents, one cannot help but think: If the accident had happened to another person’s child and they happened to pass by, would they have offered help? Or would they have behaved in the same indifferent manner? When we take an indifferent attitude towards other people’s lives, we are also giving rise to the indifference of others towards our own life and that of our relatives. This is not the personal sorrow of any individual, but the sorrow of the entire Chinese nation!
What has caused this tragic state of affairs? This needs to be rationally analyzed. The CCP has destroyed China’s traditional culture, which always respected morals and promoted doing good deeds. The evil CCP takes great pleasure in fighting against heaven and earth and against humanity, and what it has instilled into people’s minds can only be selfish indifference. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners who adhere to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will inevitably lead to moral degeneration and the moral collapse of the entire society.
Eighteen religious statues were destroyed -- one episode of the CCP’s destruction of China’s traditional culture; 18 women were stripped naked and thrown into prison cells filled with men -- one case of the CCP’s brutal persecution of kind-hearted Falun Gong practitioners; and the indifference of 18 passers-by is a natural consequence of the corruption of social morality spearheaded by the CCP.
The awakening of the Chinese people must start with recognizing the true nature of the CCP. Doesn't the revival of the Chinese nation need to begin with the complete elimination of the CCP?
