Girl sold herself for mom: Dilemma of Internet charity
(Southern Metropolis Daily/zonaeu)
Updated: 2005-11-07 09:39 While the opposing camps continued with their arguments, on October 22 and
23, hackers posted on Tianya Club information pried from Chen Yi's private email
box as well as the QQ chat sessions between Chen Yi and her mother, her mother's
brother and her father's younger brother.
The person who disclosed the QQ sessions wrote: "This was a scripted kidnap.
The kidnapper is Chen Yi and the accomplices are her relatives and other
associates. The kidnap victim is Chen Yi's mother, a person who needed donations
to treat her disease.
The ransom is the kindness of the entire Internet world!" The two sets of
personal correspondences formed a super-sized bomb and turned the Chen Yi affair
into blazing heat. Although the netizens understand that it was illegal for the
hacker to obtain personal correspondence, many of them still supported it.
According to the record, the netizens called Chen Yi out as "Swindler!"
In reality, the chat sessions do not reveal any pre-planning. Chen Yi sought
advice from her father's younger brother often. This is because Chen Yi lacked
any experience facing the public, so she followed the advice of this uncle who
worked in Kunshan, Jiangsu and had the Internet ID of Tianshengwocai. But even
the uncle was worried at one point that he would be accused of being the
mastermind.
Chen Yi understood her obligations: "I am now a public figure. Everything
that I do and say will be monitored. If I say anything wrong, it may be
irrecoverable." "My future is ruined." But Yi Liangwei did not care: "They want
us to publish our unit telephone number, the hospital telephone number, the name
of the doctor and the details in the medical case history. We will refuse. Let
them contact law enforcement and the investigation will find us to be innocent."
Also, when the accounts were published, a netizen discovered a discrepancy of
around 10,000 yuan. According to the chat session records, Chen Yi and her
father's younger brother were both mystified and afraid. They thought that the
bank computer made an error, and they got quickly responded on the Internet.
