So the boy helped save two others, not because it was the right thing to do, but because it was his duty.

I wouldn't think too much into this.. in many Eastern cultures, one's duty to serve others is much like what we describe as a moral responsibility. I learned this when I was an exchange student in Japan, a very democratic country.

Thank you for your insight. I hope you are correct. However, watching that poor little boy, I didn’t sense moral responsibility as much as communist indoctrination at work. He was all business. Very serious. You’d think that he’d be smiling from ear to ear at the honor of walking with a national hero, and international sports star. Maybe they call it moral responsibility in Japan, but it seems different in China. Thankfully, our kids don’t have to be taught.
