Suppose you are giving a class to your students, suddenly the earthquake happened, what would you do as a teacher, escaping alone or helping your students evacuate?

When the most destructive earthquake attacked Wenchuan, Fan Meizhong, a Chinese teacher, rushed out for surviving, leaving his students in the classroom. After the earthquake, his students asked him: “Teacher, why didn’t you bring us to evacuate when the earthquake happened?” He answered: “I am not a brave man who can sacrifice himself to save others’ lives. I only care about my life. Don’t you know? ...” Again, he said to a student who felt disappointed toward him: “I am a man who seeks justice and freedom, but not a man who sacrifice himself for others. In this emergent situation, I can only sacrifice for my daughter. For any other people, even my mom, I won’t sacrifice because I can’t take an adult out of a room. If it is too dangerous, I have no reason to die with you all. If there is no danger, you are safe and I don’t need to take care of you let alone you are all 17 or 18 years old.”

If you were him, what would you do, helping your students evacuate or escape alone? What do you think of his behavior? Was he wrong?
