Unfortunately for her, it's China, so no one gives a shit.

It is actually a norm in China for people to ignore accidents and try to pretend nothing happened. A non-written rule, supported by court decisions, state that no one, in good conscience, would help someone unless they felt guilty or somewhat responsible for the accident.

It is not unheard of for an elderly person to receive help from a bystander, only to later sue them for their medical bills because "If it wasn't you who caused it, then why did you feel responsible enough to help me?"

Such societal callousness.

I thought China had finally enacted The Good Samaritan Law?

Clause 184
As of October 1, 2017, China has had a national good samaritan law in place, providing legal protection to good samaritans. This clause allows passersby to assist an injured person without worrying about being scammed or sued, removing a lot of the fear previously involved. However, law professor Donald C. Clarke from the George Washington University argues the law goes extraordinarily too far:

Article 184 provides, somewhat startlingly, that those who attempt to aid others in emergency situations shall never be liable under any circumstances. If I see you coughing, assume you are choking, and attempt a tracheotomy with a butter knife despite a complete lack of medical training, your next of kin cannot sue me. The legislative history makes it clear that this is in fact the desired result.

While other nations are careful to avoid unlimited liability, China seems to have missed the memo, opening the door to many potentially dangerous legal situations.

Guess that memo hasn’t reached these bystanders.

Doesn't look like the seizure happened before the fall. It looks like the back tire slipped and caused her to eat shit, then seize.
