( CNN ) -- A 2-year-old Chinese girl -- who was ignored after being hit by two cars last week , later sparking a fierce debate about the state of China 's morals -- has died , a nurse at a military hospital said . Wang Yue died about 12:32 a.m. Friday , according to officials at the Guangzhou Military Hospital , in Guangzhou . `` Her little life has left this world , '' said Su Lei , director of intensive care unit at the hospital . `` We feel deep pain and shame as everybody does . '' Video captured by a nearby security camera showed a pair of drivers , one after the other , hitting Yue , in Foshan in Guangdong Province . More than a dozen people walked , cycled or drove past the toddler as she lay bleeding in a busy market . The girl was eventually rescued by a 58-year-old scavenger , who pulled her aside and tried to get help . The toddler 's mother , Qu Feifei , later said her daughter was in critical condition at a hospital , with her brain showing little activity despite earlier subtle movements in her lower body . The video footage sparked a global outcry about the state of morality in China 's fast-changing society . That included generating a flurry of activity on Sina Weibo , China 's equivalent of Twitter , and spurring a `` Stop Apathy '' online campaign . Two government offices in Guangdong province , where the hit-and-run occurred , offered the Good Samaritan , identified as Chen Xianmei , a total of 20,000 yuan ( US $ 3,135 ) , according to state-run Xinhua news agency . The young girl 's mother has said she did not understand the behavior of the passersby , but wanted to focus on the positive . `` Granny Chen represents the best of human nature , '' she said of her daughter 's rescuer . `` It 's the nicest and most natural side of us . '' On Sina Weibo , China 's equivalent of Twitter , the story was the No . 1 topic this week , at one point generating more than 4.5 million posts along with a `` stop apathy '' online campaign . As the outrage over morality continued , a steady procession of well-wishers pours in , offering gifts , money and support to the toddler 's family . CNN 's Xiaoni Chen and Haolan Hong contributed to this report .
