扶老人 (helping up a fallen elderly person) became a controversial topic in China after several cases where good Samaritans were falsely accused of causing the fall — leading to the social dilemma '扶不扶?' (to help or not to help?).
usage
扶手 (fúshǒu) = handrail/armrest. 搀扶 (chānfú) = to support by the arm (more literary).
