Girl sold herself for mom: Dilemma of Internet charity
(Southern Metropolis Daily/zonaeu)
Updated: 2005-11-07 09:39 With the assistance of Bafenzhai and other netizens, Wang Li has basically
recovered. More importantly, she is psychologically whole again. "She has
learned to help other people."
When they organized the campaign to assist the worker Zhang Yucheng who was
severely burned while helping to put out a fire, Wang Li also donated 800 yuan.
In January this year, Wang Li sought out Bafenzhai and asked for a photograph to
be taken of them both.
Previously, when Wang Li's photograph was mistakenly published in a certain
newspaper, she almost wanted to kill herself. So Bafenzhai was perplexed as to
why she asked for a photograph.
Wang Li: "I want the people who have helped me to know who I am!" The most
touching moment was when Bafenzhai was having his New Year's Eve dinner, he
received a SMS from Wang Li: "I wish you were here!" Bafenzhai said, "This was a
lot happier than having a couple of yuan in my wallet."
Previously, Bafenzhai conducted business in the inland and he was not very
successful. He came to Shenzhen to look for opportunities. "This incident
changed my viewpoints about happiness. Previously, I thought that the more money
I have, the happier I will be. Now, I feel that happiness is about helping
others. This kind of happiness cannot be bought by money alone."
Therefore, he has turned from being an ordinary Shenzhen Hotline netizen to
become a worker at Shenzhen Hotline. "My main objective is to use the Internet
platform to help those who are helpless." A short while ago, he began work at
the Shenzhen Basic Community Network.
