A wave of educational and safety videos on avoiding speeding vehicles has gained attention in China, following a recent tragic vehicular attack in Zhuhai that resulted in 35 fatalities and 43 injuries.

The rampage, driven by a disgruntled man displeased with his divorce settlement, has sparked widespread anger and discussions on mental health across social media, despite many comments being censored.

In response to the violence, China's Ministry of Public Security convened an expanded meeting, emphasizing the need for stringent safety measures and prioritizing mediation in disputes to prevent similar incidents.
