Girl sold herself for mom: Dilemma of Internet charity (Southern Metropolis Daily/zonaeu) Updated: 2005-11-07 09:39
"Mom will listen to me" about whether to have an operation or not. She had
told Zhang Shuzhou that there had been three cases of such an operation in
Southeast Asia and all three patients died.
These were treated by netizens as proof that Chen Yi did not value the life
of her mother. But the chat session records also showed that Chen Yi wanted to
get help from the Internet and towards the end, she only wanted to collect money
for her mother's surgery.
Finally, the first netizen to post the news of the death of Yi Liangwei at
Sina.com also said: "Ms. Yi's surgery had not been planned beforehand. It
occurred only at her insistence."
Southwestern Hospital has declined to be interviewed to explain what
happened. Yi Liangqiong who had been at the hospital all this time gave an
answer that sounded like it came from a diplomat: "I don't understand medicine.
It is inappropriate for me to comment." Yi Lianggan said: "The surgery was
decided after both sides discussed it."
Once Yi Liangwei passed away, Bafenzhai became the target of criticism. Some
netizens labeled him an "executioner." "For their conspiracy theories," "they
don't care if others live or die. For them, the 'truth' is even more important
than someone else's life." "Bafenzhai once again showed that the pen can kill
people without seeing blood."
The recommendation made by Bafenzhai to use the money in the order also
caused him to become a target. Someone even threatened to hire gangsters to kill
Bafenzhai. Soon afterwards, personal facts about Bafenzhai were also published.
Some netizens investigated his published biography and title, and discovered
some falsehoods.
Faced with these attacks, Bafenzhai was indifferent. He said, "My personal
identity is unrelated to the Chen Yi incident. There is not much point in
investigating me." He smiled, "I don't care if you dig up my ancestors' graves
on the Internet. I am like a brass bead. You can scold me, and I won't get
angry."
