Ive seen a lot of effed up CCTV of stuff happening in China over the years and I would say the fact that someone was near, saw him "fall" and went over to help them is evidence that its staged/fake.waitwhat? said:
One of the responses is a PhD asking for proof this footage isn't real.
Some people just want to be hysterical.
Ive seen videos of people getting run over by cars and everyone just goes on with their business. When people would comment and ask how people just ignored the injured, it was explained that China does not have the equivalent of a Good Samaritan Law, and actually has quite the opposite. Whoever comes up and tries to help is often held accountable for what happened to that person both legally and financially, so people pretend not to see it to avoid jail time or having to pay medical bills for the injured.
Here's a better explanation:

The problem people in China have been worried about (at least if popular culture is any guide) is that of people who help an injured person and are falsely accused by the victim of causing the injury. This, we are told, is why we see so many scandalous stories of injured people lying on the road for hours while everyone just walks around them and nobody stops to help. How would this problem be solved? By having police and judges be less credulous and demanding more by way of evidence. The problem seems to lie in a general tendency of Chinese tort law to look to anyone connected to a loss to share that loss, regardless of that person's level of fault. (There are lots of examples of this, but that's another blog post.) To a decision-maker, the very fact that someone is involved often seems a good enough reason to impose at least some liability.
