The tragic of Yue Yue kept going through many people’s mind, there are several cities having mourning ceremony across China to commemorate her passing. Almost 200 people gathered yesterday at Foshan, where the hit-and-run accident occurred. Some groups even protested for a war on apathy and cold-heartedness. Pics after the break.

Ayi, the only person who picked up Yue Yue, rewarded $25,000 Yuan

The garbage scavenging Chen Xianmei (ayi) had become the attraction of the media by saving the 2-years-old toddler. Her action was appreciated by government bureaus.

On the 17th of October, Ayi accepted the Nanhai District Civilization Office’s appreciation and kept saying “I didn’t help her for money.”

Responding to the accusation of “seeking fame” that netizens suspected previously. Ayi strongly expressed she truly did not seeking fame, helping someone isn’t a big deal.

Ayi’s mobile phone has became a hotline, continuously having phone call from local media. She expressed it had affected herself and her family’s normal daily routine, and the journalists that visit Ayi’s home had also affected her landlord.

i still don’t understand where the parents were when the accident happened. why was the 2 year old walking around by herself on the street. what took the parents so long to finally look for her? i have a 2 and 4 year old myself. they are never out of my sight, especially in public. as much as the the drivers of the vehicles are responsible, the parents are responsible first. there is absolutely no excuse for letting a 2 yr old little girl walk around by herself.

my condolences to the family of Yue Yue. may her soul rest in peace.

i cannot forgive her parents…sorry.

What I understood from other sources – her parents have a stall in that market. Possibly, they were taking Yueyue to the market when they worked, and just couldn’t pay attention to her every minute.

You cannot forgive her parents????? Her mom took her eyes off her for just a minute while she rushed outside (Yue Yue was inside at that time) to get laundry as a heavy rain was beginning. I think her parents, who are good and humble people, have more than enough pain to deal with right now without having fools like you making presumptious and half-assed comments based on ignorance of the facts.
