Intro:
Fan Meizhong or 'Runner Fan' as dubbed by internet users was the teacher who ran-away from a classroom full of students when the May 12 earthquake struck. He caused a stir when he claimed on his blog that he was merely "following human instinct".
Recent reports claim he was going to be hired by a training school in Beijing and later the school indefinitely delayed hiring him under social pressure. What makes Fan Meizhong one of the most hated men in China? How do people face and deal with cowardice in different cultures? What is worse for the welfare of the entire community, poltroon or hypocrites?
