Auntie Causes a Stir in a Foreign Land: Did a Foreigner's Rescue of a Drowning Woman Become a Party Achievement?

Auntie Causes a Stir in a Foreign Land: Did a Foreigner's Rescue of a Drowning Woman Become a Party Achievement? (People News)

[People News] Recently, the story of 22-year-old Moroccan student You Bo from Hangzhou Dianzi University, who heroically rescued a drowning woman at Jinsha Lake in Hangzhou, has moved many netizens, with related videos amassing over ten million views in just two days. Some netizens commented that kindness is the brilliance of human nature, which has been long absent; others noted that in today's indifferent society, it has rekindled a warmth that has been buried for too long.

You Bo's Rescue

The incident took place on the evening of April 6. That night, You Bo was walking along the north bank of Jinsha Lake with his girlfriend when they suddenly heard urgent cries for help. Following the sound, they found a woman struggling in the water about five to six meters from the shore, her head intermittently sinking and surfacing, in a dire situation. Without hesitation, You Bo quickly removed his coat and shoes, placed his phone on the shore, and jumped into the lake. The April water was still quite cold, and You Bo felt it rise above his head. He swam with all his strength towards the drowning woman, determined to pull her to safety as quickly as possible. After swimming about five meters, he grasped the woman by the waist and paddled with all his might for four minutes to bring her back to the shore. The woman, having swallowed water, was weak, and You Bo administered first aid, comforting her until she gradually regained consciousness.

Concerned citizens gathered to help contact the police. After confirming that the woman was not seriously injured, You Bo and his girlfriend quietly left the scene, without providing any names or contact information.

This scene was recorded by a citizen and shared online, quickly going viral and igniting a citywide search for the individual involved. A teacher from Hangzhou Dianzi University accidentally clicked on the video and recognised his student, You Bo (尤博). You Bo is from Essaouira, Morocco, and is a sophomore studying software engineering at the university. He has previously volunteered to manage electric vehicles in the student community and is generally quite shy. He remarked, "This kind of rescue is an instinctive reaction; when I see someone in need of help, it’s only natural to step in, which is quite common."

He is correct. Sixty or seventy years ago, in mainland China, helping the vulnerable or rescuing others in times of crisis was a commonplace occurrence. Even in the 1990s, such anonymous acts of kindness were still frequently observed in mainland China. An old Chinese proverb states: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." In earlier societies, assisting and rescuing others was a fundamental criterion for judging a person's moral character.

Why have good deeds become so rare?

So why are such acts now scarce? Why do they become sensational news when they do happen? Some people are even deeply touched by them. This is because, in mainland China, encounters with such acts of kindness have become increasingly infrequent.

Instead, we are inundated with news about scams and extortion. There are reports of elderly individuals lying in front of moving cars claiming to have been hit and demanding millions in compensation, students who help elderly people who have fallen only to be accused of causing the fall, and elderly individuals who fall and shout for help, insisting they will not extort anyone…

The atheistic Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is eroding the morals, culture, values, and order of the Chinese people. As a result, individuals no longer believe in the idea of good and evil being rewarded; they only trust their own desires and self-interests, leading to confusion, vigilance, and indifference. This ultimately results in a cycle of mutual defence and harm, where people indulge in their desires, compete in cruelty, and pledge loyalty, creating a vicious cycle of moral decline and negative social atmosphere...

What is particularly alarming is that the CCP often pressures and incentivises outstanding individuals to join the party, portraying it as being composed of exceptional members. When performing good deeds and participating in interviews, individuals are required to first express gratitude to the party for its nurturing. Acts of kindness are framed as a means to align with the organisation, and receiving awards is depicted as a product of the party's educational efforts...

This strategy, which was once directed at Chinese citizens, has now expanded to include foreigners as well.

After You Bo rescued a drowning woman, the CCP organisation and the Hangzhou Civil Affairs Office quickly approached him, labelling this foreigner who grew up in Morocco as a 'good person in Hangzhou.' The Hangzhou Good Samaritan Foundation also got involved, presenting him with certificates and monetary rewards. The 'foundation' took the opportunity to promote Hangzhou, claiming that You Bo's actions exemplified the integration and recognition of foreigners in the city, showcasing Hangzhou's inclusiveness and warmth, and asserting that it is the 'city with the highest sense of happiness,' among other accolades.

Certainly, the 'foundation' cannot be oblivious to the many incidents in Hangzhou where elderly individuals have fallen and received no assistance; it now must completely dissociate itself from this issue. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China has also intervened, with Mao Ning stating, 'This is also a vivid example of friendship between Chinese and foreign youth.' He quickly attributed the inherent kindness of Moroccan youth to this friendship, suggesting that the Communist Party has successfully fostered good relations with foreign youth, creating the impression that Morocco is filled with good people cultivated by the Communist Party in Hangzhou. Mao Ning also promptly retracted previous criticisms of foreign youth for attacking buses of the Confucius Institute, which contradicts his earlier remarks.

Thus, this instinctive kindness seems especially valuable in today's social climate. We often say that one must possess integrity for the heart to shine brightly. Maintaining this 'integrity' is crucial, not only through spiritual growth but also through physical well-being.

Why does the good deed of a foreign youth like You Bo elicit such profound reflection from us? Because, in contrast, we observe another phenomenon that is genuinely troubling.

The 'Great Commotion in the Heavenly Palace' by mainland aunties

In recent years, after being indoctrinated and educated by the Communist Party, individuals who are inherently selfish and violent have frequently engaged in harmful actions towards others and themselves. The incidents reported by the media alone are too numerous to count.

On April 11, an unexpected altercation occurred at Kunming Airport when Spring Airlines began charging for luggage check-in. A mainland auntie refused to pay, clashed with airport staff, and rolled on the ground, seemingly pretending to faint. However, such incidents will certainly not be addressed by the official stance of the Communist Party.

On that day, a user on social media shared a video claiming that a family of five had purchased tickets without the allowance for free checked baggage. When they attempted to push through during the ticket check, they were stopped by airport staff. The Chinese aunt began to yell at the staff and even tried to force her way onto the plane with her suitcase. A female staff member struggled with the aunt over the suitcase, and both ended up on the ground.

The aunt's daughter quickly rushed in, kicking the female staff member. After being restrained by a male staff member, the aunt lay on the ground and kicked at him while continuing to shout. Two children present were so frightened that they started crying.

Foreign netizens expressed their confusion: "Do these people have no sense of human dignity? Just because they don't want to pay for checked baggage, they can behave so shamefully..."

Such individuals and incidents not only harm others domestically but also bring embarrassment to the country on an international level.

On June 8, 2025, at Milan Airport in Italy, a mainland Chinese aunt was asked to pay for excess baggage or remove some items. However, she insisted on bringing the overweight luggage onto the plane. When she was denied, she lay on the ground, rolling around and throwing a tantrum, shouting loudly, which left the airport staff in shock. A witness recorded the scene and shared it online, sparking widespread discussion.

Mainland tourists often display a range of uncivilised behaviours while abroad, such as cutting in line, littering, rushing into supermarkets to hoard food, overcharging fellow compatriots, allowing children to urinate and defecate in public spaces, and even in aeroplane cabins at high altitudes. For instance, when a passenger is unable to change seats as requested by a flight attendant, they may demand hot water and, if dissatisfied, pour fruit peels and food onto the aisle and trample on it. They might even demand an apology from the captain and resort to violence, splashing hot water on the flight attendant. This can truly be described as a significant disturbance in the heavenly palace...

The Disturbing Human Nature Under the CCP's Brainwashing

A search on Google for "Chinese tourists hitting people abroad" yields numerous results. What puzzles many is how, with China's five thousand years of culture that emphasises peace and reverence for destiny, and its historical reputation as a nation of etiquette, it has fallen to such a state.

The CCP's ability to seize and consolidate power in China stems from its corruption of the natural order, human relationships, and culture. With a foundation of corruption and depravity, it becomes easier for the regime to manipulate society. After relocating from the Soviet Union to China, the CCP has spent over a century working to dismantle traditional Chinese morals, order, and values, fighting against heaven, earth, and humanity, transforming nature and thought, and obliterating all traditional orthodox beliefs. From the Three Anti Campaign, Five Anti Campaign, Anti-Rightist Movement, Four Cleanups, Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, to the slander and persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, the CCP has systematically eradicated all that is good and righteous, while establishing all that is corrupt and evil, as chaos only serves to benefit its nefarious activities.

Traditional Chinese values include the principles of "life is paramount" and "the value of life above all else." This philosophy calls for caring for others, extending oneself to others, and adhering to the fundamental guideline of "do not impose on others what you do not desire for yourself."

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has replaced human values with party ideology, substituting traditional Chinese culture with a party culture defined by 'falsehood, evil, and struggle.' It has continuously amplified the negative traits that have accumulated over thousands of years among the Chinese people, such as the pursuit of power and profit, forming cliques for personal gain, manipulating human rights, and employing deceitful strategies. This shift has transformed people's traditional values, outlook on life, and worldview across various dimensions, including behaviour, thought, and lifestyle. Even the universal values of 'truth, compassion, and tolerance' are being persecuted.

In this ideological framework, people in mainland China are driven solely by desire, often fearing the strong while bullying the weak. In pursuit of profit, they disregard everything, treating power, money, and material desires as their guiding beliefs. Under this mindset, betrayal among friends and family, conflicts among relatives, and extortion between parents and children are commonplace. Public morality and social ethics are neglected, and there is a general indifference towards strangers who are not personally connected. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many showed no concern for the deaths of friends, family, and neighbours, while the CCP encouraged individuals to 'shine bright' and be the proud 'first to shine'...

At the same time, the CCP, amidst the widespread sorrow in China, clings tightly to power and laughs maniacally.

As noted in the 'Nine Commentaries,' the Communist Party undermines the concept of conscience in people's hearts, leading them away from their national traditions... This indifference to life has contributed to the rise of falsehood, poison, and evil.
