Peng Yu Case firstly is a regular economic dispute, but unfortunately, because of improper intervention of media and government, it deconstructs social virtue and faith. In some sense, it can be seen as a signal of moral crisis. Why Peng Yu case causes these outcomes? And further more, how to solve its influence? Such questions are focuses of this article.This paper begins by analyzing for what reasons the Peng Yu case can cause such severe social turbulence from the perspective of media hype. Because Peng Yu case influences the public and initiates many a discussion on the internet, and popular views seem like to decay the faiths that have been erected in our people. Based on the above analysis, the paper points out that these heated expressions on the internet are triggered by emotion instead of by wisdom. It is acknowledged that Peng Yu case touches and hurts social belief and moral virtues. Discussions on the internet ascertain passive emotion, deepen depressive mood and at finally release a sense of moral helplessness. So here comes the question: why the popular wallow in the passion of self performance, and at last, ironically why its overwhelming trend awakens the fragile social virtues faith.Objectively, most people just want to express their feelings and they can not ferment passion in the condition of lack of resonance. The formation of such mood needs two conditions: first, legal channel or lawful outlet. Second, legitimate power attraction. As defendant in Peng Yu case, Peng Yu tried to shift off its economic liability and provided the virtue of victim image, then with the help of the media, which is so-called " news judgment ", he succeeded in transmitting the image to the internet users, who can use it to slink down the social virtues and government authority. In the case of Peng Yu people can easily sense the powerful influences of news media which makes it easy to accept the artificial image of Peny Yu. Provided by the pieces of information, Peng Yu become a moral victim. In the case of Peng yu, the local provincial and municipal leadership aims to “create a good atmosphere of the seventeenth national congress" and "maintain harmonious society", Nanjing government pursuits the target of "reconciliation" in Peng yu case, forcing the judicial to ignore objectivity and justice, and the result is that the truth of the Peng Yu case eventually has been covered. The complexities of Peng yu case becomes a new moral myth. Suspicion and imagination occupy the public’ mind, and weaken the intangible social moral force.In-depth analysis, moral virtue and social faith, the essences of social order are injured and no one wins the case or the argument while moral virtue is absent in the discussion. It is true that social ethical dilemma is brought out by Peng Yu case, but moral reconstruction is needed and aspired in the public. To revive the moral glory of virtue, the main task is to rebuild rational spirit and responsibility, to reshape justice and to normalize media morality.
