About Good Samaritan Day honoring Wang Yue
Civil Rights , Women
Ends: Oct 13, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Today is one of two Good Samaritan Days each year.
Good Samaritan Day is named after the Parable of the Good Samaritan from the New Testament of the Bible, Luke 10:25-37.
The first God Samaritan Day was declared in 1964 in New York City after Catherine "Kitty" Genovese was viciously stabbed and murdered.
Why does a murder of a single woman deserve a day of remembrance? Nearly 40 people witnessed it and allegedly stood and watched as Catherine was screaming for help and dying. They saw yet did nothing.
The day reminds us of the importance of being a good and selfless person and the terror of what happens when we are not.
People forgot about the New York murder of Catherine Genovese. Decades later, the same thing happened on Foshan Market Street in Guangdong, China. A young girl named Wang Yue was run over by two vehicles as people stood and watched on October 13, 2011. So many watched, yet none did anything until an older woman named Chen Xianmei came to her aid. This Good Samaritan Day was created by Richard Lutz, appalled by the indifference of the onlookers, as a tribute to Yue's life. It falls on the anniversary of her deadly attack.
