It's time to rebuild social trust

It's a traditional Chinese virtue to help people without letting your name be known. But now it seems necessary to bring a TV camera and record every detail when you do a good deed. Otherwise, you might be in trouble, as in the case of one Mr Zheng in Nanjiang.

According to media reports, on a recent Monday morning, Mr Zheng arrived at the Nanjing Railway Station to take a train to Shanghai. At the station square, he saw a boy bump into a woman, who then fell to the ground.

Noticing the woman was pregnant and looked to be in pain, Mr Zheng approached her and asked if she needed to call 120 for help. The woman tried to stand up but failed. After helping her stand up, Mr Zheng was about to leave when the woman grabbed him and shouted: "You bumped me. Don't go away."
