On October 13, 2011, a vehicle knocked down two-year-old Wang Yue ็Ž‹ๆ‚ฆ on a narrow street in Foshan, Guangdong Province. As she lay on the ground underneath the van, the driver paused for a second, pulled forward, and ran over the little girl again.

This horrifying moment was captured by a surveillance camera. But what was perhaps more disturbing was the appalling level of indifference demonstrated by at least 18 passersby who walked or cycled past the girlโ€™s body, unwilling to assist, until another car drove over Wang again. A scrap peddler eventually moved her to the side of the road and called for help.

The death of Wang Yue was one of the biggest news stories that year, igniting heated discussions on a national level about the line between traffic crimes caused by negligence and intentional homicide inflicted by a driver, and the moral responsibilities of a decent person when they see someone in urgent need of help.

Wang Yue wasnโ€™t the first such case. China seems to have a history of drivers trying to kill pedestrians, often by running over them multiple times, after they make the first hit.

Back in 2006, an elderly woman in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, got crushed five times by a driver who later claimed that he thought he was rolling over a trash bag. The same year, in Sichuanโ€™s Dujiangyan, a three-year-old boy was killed by a Mercedes-Benz car, which drove over his body twice. The driver first defended his actions as attempts to get the boy out of the wheels, but after interrogation, he confessed to intentional murder.
