The elderly trash colector,Chen Yianmei helped the little girl.
If you hit a person, you would ran away too, I’m willing to compensate some money, but I will not turn myself in.
Later a young man who claimed to be the accident driver called the news reporter. However, some of his remarks have made the public even more furious with many accusing him of being a ruthless ‘animal’. Here’s the translation of part of the dialogue.
Reporter(R): Are you the one who ran over Yueyue?
Accident driver (A): I didn’t want that happen either. I’m just a driver.
R: Why did you call her father?
A: When the accident happened, I was on the phone.
R: Why didn’t you stop after running into something? Did you know you had hit somebody?
A: I knew I’ve run into a person. I was scared. If you hit somebody, you would ran away too.
R: Don’t you have any conscience? Why didn’t you save her?
A: I was too scared. I am just a driver.
R: How many years have you been driving? Don’t you know hit-and-run is a very severe crime?
A: I’ve been driving for 2 years. Who never makes a mistake? As you can see, that kid walked and looked around. If she walked more carefully, how would I run into her?
R: Was there any heavy goods on the truck?
A: Yes, that’s why I stepped on the gas.
R: Now how do you like to deal with this accident?
A: I want to offer them some money. But I don’t want to show up.

Later reporter called the accident driver again:
R: Do you want to turn yourself in now?
A: No. I’ve asked my friend to send my wife and kids over here from Guangxi. I’ll find a job in the construction site where no one knows me.
R: You want to hide yourself for the rest of your life?
A: I’m scared. I didn’t mean to (run over the girl.) Everybody makes mistake. I have a wife and a 14 year-old kid. Without me, they can’t survive.
R: One should be responsible for his own fault. You have kid too, don’t you know how Yueyue’s parent feel?
A: so what?
…
R: How is your feeling now?
A: sad..haha
R :At this point, you still laugh?
A: It’s a bitter smile. You have no idea how much pressure I’m under now. One word-’scared’. I would hide until I couldn’t anymore. I know sometime it take more than a few decades to catch a murder. I’m over 30 year-old now. In 30 years, I might have died. This whole thing would have been forgotten. I know how to deal with the cops. I would shy away from the big cities, just stay in the suburbs and don’t make big money.
R: Seeing your kid, wouldn’t that remind you of the little girl you ran over?
A: Why should I? She wasn’t even my kid.
…
R : How would you like to compensate the losses of Yueyue’s family?
A: I also have losses myself. I didn’t get my salary. I told my boss there was some emergency in my family and just quit the job.
On 17th, The first accident driver was arrested too.
