4．The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever，gaining more than 808million views on the popular media site．
The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight，Justin Bieber，whose song"Baby"had a little more than 804million views at press time．PSY made the announcement early today．
Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez's"On the Floor．"and Eminem's"Love the Way You Lie"．
And in September，"Gangnam Style"also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4million thumbs up．
At the time of the announcement，the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying："In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times，and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube．PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!"
Despite its massive popularity，the video shows no signs of slowing down，and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views．
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day，"Gangnam Style"would be in line to break that record by the end of the year．
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30countries，including the United Kingdom，Germany，France，Spain and Canada，while providing material for thousands of parody videos．
It became a staple in the 2012presidential elections with the now ramous"Mitt Romney Style"video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda（宣传）films promoting their supreme leader．Meanwhile，such influential figures as President Obama，UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song．

9．Chinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice-by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl．
The incident，captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong （TVS），showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct．13，in Foshan City of Guangdong Province．
The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk．Over the next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her．The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl's  mother，according to the video and eyewitnesses．
Doctors said that the girl，who was put on life support after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma．The girl's parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her．
Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested．However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger，and people are questioning the morality of society．
High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public．
But in recent years，the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values．
On Sept．2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement．Yet，no one came to his aid，and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose．
Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans （模范人物）to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her．
A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任），yet laws themselves cannot solve society's  morality dilemma．
Cao Lin，a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping，and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society．
