【正确答案】On the left of the picture, an old man falls over on his face. A man tries to lend a helping hand but he is pulled back by his wife who is shouting something at him. Several other onlookers are watching, but nobody walks forward to offer help. Like the blind man happening to grope his way past the spot, they are turning an actual blind eye to the accident. Ironically all this is overlooked by the statue of Lei Feng, the model for selfless help to those in need. The caption reads, "Learning from Lei Feng?"
The picture is an irony to a decline in social morality, in an age when people are less connected and care less for each other. People used to live in communities where everyone knows everyone else and offers assistance to each other if anyone runs into difficulty. However, the spirit of selflessness represented by Lei Feng has gradually been replaced by a philosophy of everyone-for-themselves. It is no news that a well-intentioned helper is wrongly accused.
While we mourn for the erosion of morality, it is unfair to put all the blame on the onlookers' indifference. They probably want to help, but they are reluctant over fears that they may be accused of causing the old man's fall and therefore become liable for compensations.
We should call for not only a spirit of selfless contribution, but also a spirit of honesty and integrity. The public should be encouraged to offer help to anyone in need, but the helpers' interests must be guaranteed. Mutual trust among people must be rebuilt.
