They say "That's scary!" and go on to their dinner

When it comes to refugees, I think of Yao Chen's meager comment not long ago that many people accused her, and the Chinese still couldn't help her, so why did she go overseas to help refugees. Yao Chen carefully described some of the difficulties in China and the difference between real refugees abroad.
When you are in an area that is out of control, this kind of helplessness and panic, I think it is really incomprehensible.
There is no law, killing will come anytime, anywhere, and this kind of purgatory life actually still exists in many parts of the world.

I remember Paul saying to a white man: How could they not have acted when they knew about the massacres? !
The man said: What if you know? They'll say, ah, that's horrible! Then move on to their dinner.
It's cruel, but that's the reality.

Whether it was the 911 that year, the Wenchuan earthquake, or the train incident. We feel like we are in it, donating, following, discussing, etc. There may be a lot of people sitting at the computer, posting abusive curses while eating snacks and drinks with relish.
Humans are so cruel and indifferent. This is by no means derogatory, but it is human nature.

I remembered that in "Nanjing Nanjing", the foreign doctor had to leave. Before leaving, he knelt down before the Chinese people, crying and repenting that he couldn't help more. The real executioner, however, showed no apology. What kind of world is this, and what kind of animal does man belong to?
In the film, when the foreign reporter left, he said to the waiter who helped him hold the umbrella: "Please, dont do that. I feel so shame."
In that case, I would also feel ashamed, but I would also choose Leave.

The great thing about Paul is that he is not a saint, he is also a mortal. Putting his own family first, he will not take his own life with enthusiasm to stop the militia's frenzied slaughter.
He has been helping everyone effectively, effectively, not impulsive. He knows how to bribe, and how to embarrass his overseas friends and force them to help him. When he could leave, he also chose to leave, but at the last moment he chose to stay out of conscience.

Every time I watch this movie, I always feel so small. Although I have talked a lot at length, I am still small. I'll keep cooking dinner, keep reading, keep playing. I am also me, human, not a great person.
Just want to say to them very sincerely, god bless you!

    The reporter and Paul talked about the possible reaction of foreign audiences after seeing the tragedy suffered by the Tutsi, which reminded me of "About the Pain of Others." Susan Sontag mentioned in the book, let’s see With more photos that reflect the suffering, you will at a certain level think that you have really helped those who are trapped. Of course this is a digression, but it is relevant to us.

    Telling a brutal genocide in a plain way, through the shelter of the hotel manager Paul to our compatriots, we can feel the good side of human nature, but whenever the camera turns to the scene where the corpses are everywhere, there will be a kind of same roots. Why is it too anxious?
