Online Help-seeking Surgery Fee for Cancer College Students in Chengdu
Received 470 thousand yuan in two days, young man: don’t donate any more. The liar is eyeing him and cloning QQ information to cheat.
Huang Tao, 20 years old, speaks with sentences popping out of his mouth like beans. Love to laugh When he stands upside down, push-ups and sit-ups in his own room of several square meters, it is easy for people to ignore his physical condition. However, when he takes off his baseball cap and reveals his bald head and dark circles, you will suddenly remember — — He is a patient.
After suffering from cancer, this post-95 college student posted on the Internet asking for donations for surgery expenses — — What he didn’t even expect was that he received a donation of more than 470,000 yuan in two days.
Subsequently, he immediately stopped the donation: "The money for surgery is enough, so don’t donate any more." Another thing that Huang Tao didn’t expect was that he encountered the same situation as the "Li XiaoLu was cheated to donate" incident — — Someone "cloned" his QQ information, signature and diary and cheated online.
After the bad news, the young man suddenly developed cancer:
"I saw death."
Huang Tao, a 20-year-old sophomore, was admitted to the Computer Department of Chengdu College of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2014. The campus life is colorful and beautiful, but Huang Tao, who is bent on starting a business to earn money to help his family reduce the economic pressure, took a break from school in May 2015 and began to work in a trading company.
At the end of 2015, Huang Tao began to have symptoms of black stool and chest pain. He was healthy since he was a child, and he didn’t care until he couldn’t sleep at night because of chest pain before he went to qingbaijiang district People’s Hospital. "The doctor said it might be a bit serious, so we transferred to Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. I didn’t expect it to be cancer. " On January 7, 2016, Huang Tao was diagnosed as diffuse large B lymphoma.
On the first night in the hospital, Huang Tao saw the shadow of death. "The patient in the next bed is also suffering from cancer, and problems began at 6 am." Young, he lay in bed, looked at the ceiling, and listened to the dying reactions of the patients in the next bed for 40 minutes. "At that time, my brain was blank, and then I knew that death was like this. I am not afraid of death, I want to live! "
The distress phone typed out a 4000-word distress letter
"I refuse to accept, I want to live!"
How to live? In the first three periods of treatment, the family spent 200,000 yuan to treat him, and has borrowed money everywhere. At this juncture, Huang Tao suddenly became infected and almost didn’t survive. After the rescue, it is urgent to do surgery, but the cost of treatment has become a big problem.
What should we do? Huang Tao calculated an account. If one thousand people donated money to himself and one 100 yuan, there would be 100,000 yuan. It sounds like a fable, but in order to survive, he will try everything.
On the evening of March 6th, Huang Tao started to write a QQ space diary with his mobile phone in the ward. "I only have one dream now: to live!" In the breathing and groaning of the patient next to him in his sleep, he knocked on the letter for help one by one. "I have spent nearly 200 thousand after three courses of chemotherapy, and it takes a lot of money to do surgery in a short time … … Money beats a man! I refuse to accept, I want to struggle! Fortunately, I have a thick skin! I want to reach out to you. "
In the middle of writing, he was too weak to sleep, and woke up the next morning to continue writing the remaining half of the QQ space diary.
After clicking the "send" button for 5 minutes, "QQ didn’t ring, and no one answered me. I think it’s over, and I failed … …”
Touched by a drop of love, it becomes a river.
Received a donation of more than 470,000 yuan in two days.
Just when he began to doubt whether the letter of help was useful, the first donation arrived, and a high school classmate remitted 50 yuan money to him.
This 50 yuan money made Huang Tao cry in his hospital bed. "There is a feeling that someone still remembers me and I have not been given up. I can still live."
More donations kept coming in. First classmates and friends, then strangers from all over the country.
Most of the donors are students. "Come on, Jinjiang, Sichuan University." "All the students in Class 1, Grade 89 of Mengzhong High School love to relay. I hope you will recover soon." "I am the same age as the second middle school. I wish you a speedy recovery." "Parents of counselors in the Department of Finance and Economics of Chengdu University wish a speedy recovery."
With the continuous forwarding of Huang Tao’s QQ space diary and the rush of middle school and college students, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 100 yuan, or even 1,000 yuan, Huang Tao’s Alipay account began to pop up constantly.
Within two days after the letter of help was issued, he was donated more than 476,300 yuan. This figure is beyond the family’s expectation. Tao Xuzhen, Huang Tao’s mother, didn’t have much hope for online help. In her initial estimate, "it would be good to have tens of thousands of dollars."
When unexpected donations keep coming
He suddenly stopped: Don’t donate if you have enough money.
Just as donations kept coming, Huang Tao chose to stop suddenly.
At 8: 21 am on March 9, less than 48 hours before Huang Tao sent a letter for help, he sent a Weibo: "The money is almost 400,000, that’s enough. Thank you very much. I will repay you tomorrow. It means don’t donate. I can let more people know that cancer is not terrible, and I am fighting it, (but) don’t let people donate money again. "
Donations have not stopped. Six minutes after this Weibo was sent out, another 100 yuan arrived, and the donor left a message: "It’s still my heart to know that the money is enough. Come on, go on bravely. "
Huang Tao’s parents once opposed their son’s decision. For them, the more money, the higher the son’s survival rate. "In addition to the cost of surgery, there are treatment fees in the later stage, as well as the cost of postoperative care. What should I do?"
Huang Tao’s answer to this question is, "I said before that as long as the operation fee. Now the operation fee is enough, and our family will find a way for the future. No one’s money is blown by the wind, and a man must have a conscience. "
Dialogue parties
Will let everyone see that the donation is not squandered.
"I want to use it transparently."
On the afternoon of April 16th, Huaxi Dushi Bao reporter saw Huang Tao in qingbaijiang district. This is a typical young boy who loves to laugh and make trouble. He is the captain of the basketball team. His idol is Jason Statham, and he dreams of becoming a "strong man". He looks no different from all 20-year-olds except for his obviously pale skin and dark eyes.
However, he was able to raise more than 400,000 yuan for himself in two days, and he was able to stop when the donation was the most turbulent. Obviously, this young man has something different. More than a month after the incident of "receiving more than 400,000 yuan in two days", he said that the reason for his interview was to show everyone that these donations were not squandered. I want to be transparent and use it transparently.
Reporter: What is it like to receive more than 400,000 in two days?
Huang Tao: I’m very touched. I’m shocked. There are still many good people, but sometimes they are deceived. Now there are so many scammers on the Internet that people who really need help don’t get attention. I really didn’t expect so many people who are willing to believe me and help me.
Reporter: Why did you suddenly ask everyone not to donate? Huang Tao: Surgery is enough. I don’t know what to do with it. I said from the beginning, as long as the money for the operation. After the operation, our family will find a way to do the rest, and I can also make money by myself.
Reporter: You said that the money will be returned later? Huang Tao: Well, I’ve figured out how to return it. I can’t give it back to everyone, but I can donate the money to the school. My four alma mater, one is 100 thousand.
The other side of the news
When the donation arrived, so did the liar. Some people "cloned"
Copy QQ signature avatar and impersonate him to cheat money.
The donation came, and so did the liar. In the interview, Huang Tao revealed that his QQ account was "cloned" when he asked for help online. "He got a new QQ and changed his name to my QQ number, so that if someone searches for me, he will find two QQ accounts." Huang Tao found that this fake copied his QQ avatar, signature, diary and photo album. "Then tell others that he is Huang Tao and ask others for money for help."
He is not the only one who has encountered such a situation. In March this year, the information of Xiaolin, a sick baby in Deyang, Sichuan, was stolen by a swindler in Fujian, who defrauded many people to donate, and actor Li XiaoLu was also recruited (this newspaper once reported). On April 8, the swindler was arrested by the police in Putian, Fujian. After investigation, the police found that this "veteran" defrauded more than 300 people through telecommunication networks in five years.
Someone borrowed money.
"You have received so many donations, lend me some money."
In addition to their own information being cloned and used to cheat donations, in the online donation incident, many recipients themselves face the risk of fraud. While the 20-year-old man was "uneasy" and stopped the continuous online donation, another group of people were eyeing him.
After the letter of help was issued, Huang Tao’s mobile phone was "exploded". Some people expressed condolences, some people asked for proof, but others came to "borrow money". "It is very difficult to send text messages and call and say that they are sick or have an accident at home. It is very difficult to borrow money from me." Speaking of which, Huang Tao was silent for a moment. "What can I say? I dare not think about whether these words are true or false. "
Someone "helps"
"Pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan and raise 100,000 yuan for you a month."
Xiaolin’s mother, Ms. Miao, received several fraudulent text messages after media reports. One of the women sent her WeChat three times. For the first time, I claimed to be a staff member of a charity fund group: "We can help you raise about 100,000 yuan a month, but we have to collect the 1000 yuan deposit first." Later, she directly asked for the contact information of caring people who donated money to Ms. Miao, and stressed the need for "enterprises or institutions".
For the last time, the woman simply asked for money: "Can I borrow some money from you? What those caring people donated to you will be returned to you as soon as you get your first month’s salary. You can rest assured that I am not an online liar. "

Deyang children were "cloned"
Li XiaoLu was cheated to donate.
On March 26th, a Weibo account named @ Hope for Baby’s Recovery called for help, claiming that his child was seriously ill. Later, actor Li XiaoLu forwarded his Weibo and donated money for it. Who knows that this Weibo account turned out to be a "Gui Li", stealing the Weibo content of Ms. Miao, the real mother of the child, to cheat. After the matter was reported by Huaxi Dushi Bao, it attracted the attention of netizens all over the country.
On April 8, Fujian Putian City Public Security Bureau and Licheng Public Security Bureau arrested Guo, a suspect suspected of telecommunication network fraud, in Xitianwei Town, Putian City, and seized more than 300 series of telecommunication network fraud cases, including the case that actor Li XiaoLu was defrauded and donated. According to Putian police, Guo started online fraud in 2011 and cheated more than 300 people in five years.
Have | law | can | according to
New charity law: allowing individuals to ask for help and defraud donations will be held accountable.
During the two sessions this year, the charity law was reviewed and approved by the National People’s Congress and will be implemented on September 1. Among them, there are clauses in the chapter of "Charity Donation": Donors can donate through charitable organizations or directly to beneficiaries.
Interpretation by Kan Ke, deputy head of the Bill Group of the Secretariat of the Fourth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress: The draft does not prohibit individuals from seeking help. I, family members and close relatives have encountered difficulties, and the draft does not prohibit them from raising money and things from the society to solve their urgent needs. The law does not prohibit individuals from asking for help.
On the other hand, Article 31 of the draft charity law stipulates: "You shall not deceive or induce the fund-raiser to make donations by fictional facts."
Just in January this year, the Fangcheng District People’s Court of Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province sentenced the defendant Yang Cailan to three years in prison for committing fraud, fined 8,000 yuan, and confiscated a white Samsung mobile phone. Yang Cailan once lied in Weibo that his father died in the Tianjin Port explosion accident, winning sympathy from netizens, who rewarded him with 96,576.44 yuan.
This is in line with the relevant provisions of the New Charity Law — — In the future, fraudulent donations will be held accountable.
