Is it necessary to praise a driver who just fulfilled his responsibility to keep his passenger safe?

What worry me most is a lot of people are taking things to the extreme line where they became bystanders and onlookers. See what happened to Yue Yue in Foshan? 18 persons just looked on until a garbage ayi took the toddler in her arms. Some of them blamed on the infamous Nanjing Judge. I won't risk myself to fight against house on fire, but if the Yue Yue incident happened in front of my eyes, I won't think of the court precedence, neither the infamous Nanjing Judge nor the Beijing King, I would help her even by doing that landed me in jail. It saddens me very much. Wan

A 15 years old boy has his own thoughts no matter his thoughts are mature or not. Lai Ning was brave but I do not encourage all students to learn from him. In my future, I will teach my kid that he/she has to ensure his/her own safety before helping others.

Today people become individuals and no longer as as a group in this "vicious" society. People don't really care for others anymore but themselves, as individuals. Wan

Well i think that we should praise him, he could have said "screw them i m in pain" and could have driven into another car. People have the choice, police officer have the choice, fire fighters have the choice to do it or not. If a fire fighter saves a person doesn't he deserves praise? Or was it just his job?
I think that the working class dont get enough praise for things they do. I dont say that we should worship them, just tell them what a good job they did and thank them with all our heart.
But now that he is dead, maybe give the praise to his family who raised him.

Though i m not sure how he "sacrificed" himself to save the people, for me it sounds like that he would have died either way.

Nobody, I read the related news. He did his best to stop the bus on the express way. If he failed, a serious accident might have occured and the passengers might be injured or killed.

We want change but we estranged ourselves from the societal reforms because we thought it's someone's responsibility and became bystanders and onlookers. As per my responses, I believe we should praise someone's deeds although it may look like his/her responsibility, just like we praise and give thanks to our parents for upbringing us to be as we are today. It will be as part of the carrots for a better society.

I think that either way he would have died, so its not a sacrifice, its "making the best out of a bad situation"

You are right. His behavior is not a sacrifice but "making the best out of a bad situation".
