In last week's Digest China, host Feng Xin talked with two guests about how the mental health of Chinese people has changed over the years, and how the upcoming Mental Health Law might have an impact on individuals. But how do psychiatrists maintain their own mental health when all they are dealing with everyday are people who are not happy? And what do they think of the drafted law? For this week's Digest China, the discussion continues.

Walking down the street, you hear a scream. You turn to see a person badly injured in the middle of the road. What do you do? That decision is becoming more difficult after some people who offered help were falsely accused of injuring the person in need. Some have suffered legal and financial penalties. Because of this, many others have chosen to stand idly when they see someone in need. Digest China asks: Should China protect its good samaritans and punish those who don't help? Are there fewer "good people" in society today?

Having worked as a journalist in China, the United Kingdom and the United States, Feng Xin finds her passion for journalism runs as high as it did the first day she stepped into this profession. To her, no matter where it applies, good journalism is always a result of a genuine humanistic sympathy, rigorous inquiry and creative presentation. These became her founding philosophies of Digest China as its executive producer and host. Working with a group of young and intelligent producers, Feng invites you to digest China, a complex yet intriguing and dynamic country.
