True.
The kid was effectively run over four times... the most callous part for me is the way the driver of each truck slowly hauls the back wheel over the child's body.
The most incomprehensible part is the bit where the mother and child walk by, barely flinching.
My experience of traffic in China is that their equivalent of the "white van man", unlike any other country I've been in, simply keep driving - even if you walk in front of them and they are going 5 or 10 mph in heavy congested traffic, they launch into a tirade and give you the wide eyes and flailing arms and try to physically shove you out of the way with the front of their van as though it would be completely unreasonable for them to touch the brakes for a couple of seconds even though the next car is only 2 foot in front of them. A major culture shock for British, who are, as far as many foreigners in the UK have told me, by far the most polite drivers in the world - and I suspect the same goes for passers by on the street in the UK... where this sort of event would be inconceivable with passers by probably competing to help.
It's a shock to us in the developed world, but life really is cheap in the developing world, and especially if you're a girl...
