Man sets phone to record before helping elderly woman, stands by actions

(People's Daily Online)    15:57, July 08, 2016

Snapshots from the recording

On July 5, Mr. Wang parked his car at the gate of a park in Fuzhou and remained in the car to wait for his business partner to arrive. Hearing a thump, Wang saw that an elderly woman had fallen right next to his car. Since the car was turned off, he knew there was no possibility that he had hit her, but he was concerned that the woman might be trying to extort money from him by faking an injury.

Since the woman was right outside his car door, Wang first called out from inside his car, asking passerbys to lend a hand, but no one responded. Once the woman shifted a bit, Wang handed his phone to a bystander, requesting that the person record what happened next. Wang then got out of his car and went to help the woman.

Wang gave her a bottle of water and helped her put her shoe back on. It turned out that the woman was over 80 years old and lived by herself. A heatstroke may have been the cause of her fall.

Wang expressed hope that, in the wake of the incident, the woman's children might come to visit her more often. As for the recording, Wang said his intention was simply to clear up any misunderstandings that may have come up later.
