Comment on "Need to protect our Good Samaritans" (China Daily, Jan 5)

I fully understand the meaning of "hard to put it clearly" in China. And I am sorry for senior citizens as well as people who have hesitated to help others. Besides, some onlookers' behavior is also understandable in today's society. After all, morals are the highest form of law. We should be objective and impartial toward the issue, but something must be done to prevent such incidents.
