The good sammaritan gets no reward in China and sometimes can be framed too. As I said the netizens can be outraged but if they were there, they wouldn't do anything right?
There's definitely a growing battle in the psyche of many Chinese right now between the practical and the valued. Loads of Chinese people do feel genuinely upset about a lot of the unethical choices they need to make, but continue to make them as they feel there is no choice. The expansion of social media (hindered though it may be) is giving those conflicted ethical positions more and more voice though.
