Is there a reason the Chinese seem to be terrible people and NEVER stop to help someone in distress? The number of crashes that happen right next to someone and people just drive by...

I've heard a bunch of people say it's because confucianism puts a really strong focus on the family and friends and there isn't a real equivalent to the "golden rule" that you should treat strangers as you'd want them to treat you. From my time there I think it's just because there's such a giant mass of humanity that if you try to stop and care about every terrible thing that happens you'll be overwhelmed pretty much immediately. It's pretty hosed up to watch a guy beat the ever living poo poo of a man in the street while literally hundreds of people walk by not 10 feet away though.
