Web China: Child's death triggers public outcry (3)

Yan went to the food market in Tongxiang City in east China's Zhejiang Province with his mother and was playing alone on the street when the accident happened.

The boy's father Yan Mingjing, and his mother are natives of southwest China's Guizhou Province. They have been working in Tongxiang for several years and Yan Zhe was their only child.

In a similar case, two-year-old Wang Yue was also hit by two vehicles and ignored by passersby and died in the hospital in October 2011, in Guangdong Province.

Previous reports said that a surveillance video showed Wang being hit by two vehicles and left to bleed on a market street.

Eighteen pedestrians and cyclists walked by the bleeding toddler without helping. The 19th pedestrian, a migrant woman collecting trash, pulled her to the side of the street and alerted the girl's mother.

Xue Manzi, a famous Chinese angel investor and an active Weibo user, commented, "We were shocked after the accident of Wang Yue a year ago, but the scars of the little girl's death seem cured and the pain is almost gone."
