China’s roads expose a brutal economic truth: killing is cheaper than crippling.

In Fuyang, a female driver hits a motorcyclist, then gets out and repeatedly stomps on his head while he’s lying injured on the road. She yells: ‘Don’t play dead! How much money do you want?’

This isn’t just rage — it’s the predictable result of perverse incentives.

Under China’s traffic compensation rules, causing death means a one-time fixed payout (typically death compensation + funeral costs, often equivalent to 20 years of local average income, around ¥500k–1M+ RMB depending on region).

Causing permanent disability can mean lifelong payments: ongoing medical care, nursing fees, lost wages, disability compensation, and more — potentially millions over decades.

A system that makes finishing the job ‘more economical’ than helping the victim reveals deep failures in law, morality, and human value.

When saving a life costs more than ending it, society has a problem.”
