The Girl Who Sold Herself To Save Her Mother – Tan Renwei

From Southern Metropolis Daily (in Chinese), translated by EastSouthWestNorth:

[in translation] A pretty female university student offered to “sell herself” on the Internet in order to save her seriously ill mother — this incident had an eye-catching start, a series of climaxes in between, and an ending that nobody wanted to see.

Chen Yi, who is a third-year university in Chongqing, posted a call-for-help message on the Internet in order to raise money to pay for her mother’s medical expenses. Concern and money both began to rush in, together with plenty of doubts and suspicions. This call-for-help incident that began on September 15 triggered off a storm on the Internet.

Her classmates appeared on the scene, her mother appeared, her mother’s hospital wardmates appeared, her mother’s co-workers appeared and the Internet hackers appeared too.
