Support group shows the better side of human nature

The attack on Guo Bin shocked China and led many observers to lament the "moral decline" in the country.

In its wake, 160 socially conscious people formed a support group on the instant-messaging platform QQ.

One member, who preferred to be known only by his surname, Guo, was in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, when he heard the news. At the time, he was working 11 hours a day at an electronics factory, making about 3,000 yuan ($450) a month.
