More stories of personal heroism in China. This is part three.
Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.
Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.
Video 1 – ATM robbery
You are minding your own business. You are in an ATM kiosk and are waiting in line while the chick in front of you withdraws some money. But, hey! You notice something. There’s a guy beside her with a knife! And he is robbing her directly… right there! In front of you, the other customers and is not afraid of him being filmed by the cameras!
What would YOU do?
Video 2 – Child falls into a manhole.
So, yeah. It’s an average day. You are out shopping, and you know what? You see this little girl disappearing right in front of you! What are you going to do?
What would you do?
Video 3 – Little girl falls off the back of a scooter.
A little girl falls off the back of the scooter, and her mother rides off into the sunset. The girl, terrified and afraid wanders about. What would you do? Would you help her out?
Would YOU help her?
Notice that no only did the other woman on the scooter stop, but the white car did as well. He opened up the door and offered to take the little girl home.
Video 4 – Crazed knife attacker.
You are having a nice quick lunch in a restaurant. Suddenly out of the blue this guy comes running inside the restaurant shouting “God is great!” in some strange language. That’s odd enough, but he’s waving around a cleaver and is heading towards the back of the restaurant. Yikes!
What are you going to do?
Video 5 – Fire at a gas station.
We’ve all stopped to fill our cars with gas. But what happens when the truck next to your car catches on fire? What would you do? Here is what happens when well-trained station attendants spring into action…
Video 6 – Frightened baby.
Not all heroes wear tights, have capes and fly through the skies. Often the environment around us just needs a little bit of help; more smiles, a kind word or some encouragement. Check out what this doctor does to sooth the fears of this child…
Video 7 – Helping the old man cross the street.
Crossing the streets in China are often quite trying. Cars zoom back and forth Indy-500 style. No one seems to give a Rat’s Ass about pedestrians. Never the less, not everyone has a car, and you do have to cross the street. Even when you are 99 years old.
What would you do? Honk the horn and yell “Hey old man! Get the fuck out of my way, ya old geezer!”, or would you be the Rufus…
Be . The . Rufus .
Video 8 – Returning a wallet.
Kindness and being fair and just is what defines us. Contrary to what Hollywood, and Washington DC can make us believe, there are good people in the world. It’s just that they avoid publicity and operate quietly in silence and secrecy.
Be the Rufus.
Video 9 – Stranger collapses on the street.
You are walking to your car. Then you notice this body in the street off the parking lot. It’s limp. Dead. Not moving. What are you going to do?
Be the Rufus!
Video 10 – Know the full story.
Life is not black and white. It is full of grey areas, and it is up to us to individually determine where the to place the line that makes things black and white. But, we must know the full story first. We cannot rely on your eyes and ears, and certainly CANNOT rely on the news-babe on television. The truth is often elusive.
Do not judge others unless you know their full story.
Do not judge. Know the full story.
Conclusion
We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action.
No. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive.
However, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus.
Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

Here are some other similar posts on this venue. If you enjoyed this post, you might like these posts as well. These posts tend to discuss growing up in America. Often, I like to compare my life in America with the society within communist China. As there are some really stark differences between the two.

I have broken apart some other posts. They can best be classified about ones actions as they contribute to happiness and life. They are a little different, in subtle ways.
![What High School taught me about Diversity. Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people. These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.](https://metallicman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/1-23-1024x235.gif)
