On June 2, according to Jiupai News, in Nanping, Fujian Province, Zhang Yingying's nearly 60-year-old father Zhang Ronggao is currently driving in a unit with a monthly salary of 2,050 yuan.
Six years after Zhang Yingying's murder, her parents are still immersed in great sadness and longing, and "will never come out."
Zhang Ronggao often woke up in the middle of the night to sit in his daughter's room, and he deeply blamed himself: "My wife did not agree to my daughter going to the United States, I let her go, I hurt her."
He firmly believes that he can get his daughter back: "Even if it is a corpse, take her home". The couple also had a wish to visit the mountain village where their daughter used to teach, and the daughter once said that the children there were very bitter and went to see them.
In the first half of this year, Zhang Ronggao was scolded by netizens for "eating human blood steamed buns" for starting to "live broadcast goods".
Zhang Ronggao responded that a bag of 29 yuan of tissues can only earn more than 2 yuan, just to earn a living allowance, "I hope that netizens will improve their awareness of self-protection, and do not forget the great grief that Yingying's incident has brought to parents."
Why can't Zhang Yingying's father bring goods live?
Why can traffic stars, Father Zhang will be scolded for eating human blood steamed buns with goods?
In the first half of this year, Zhang Yingying's father began to live broadcast the goods, which attracted the attention of netizens.
In the video, Zhang Yingying's father responded that thanks to everyone's attention and support, their lives are slowly returning to normal, but their lover's body has collapsed, his stomach is very poor, and his teeth are loose, so now he starts live streaming with something, also to maintain his life.
Zhang Yingying's father said that they still couldn't help thinking of Yingying, and as long as they had the opportunity, they hoped to go to the United States to see her.
Although the plane ticket is a big expense for them, they still try their best to get together every year and try to live.
For the Zhang family, most of the hope of life has been lost, and what can happen in the next days, even if there is a lot of money?
Previously, due to the exposure of the details of Zhang Yingying's murder, an old post accusing Zhang Yingying N years ago was once again topped.
The poster claimed to have "reasonably" raised several questions about Zhang Yingying herself after reading a question about the single family house rented by the Zhang family in the United States on a Chinese forum:
1. Zhang Yingying's move is actually moving from a cheaper place to a more expensive place, not to save rent;
2. Zhang took the national public scholarship for studying abroad, but as soon as he arrived in the United States, he was anxious to become a doctor of UIUC, and his reputation was worrying;
3. Zhang just arrived at UIUC for a month and illegally worked to earn money;
4, Zhang obviously has a boyfriend, but said to the UIUC people no
5. Aunt Zhang's purchase of milk powder
... ...
Finally, the poster should also emphasize that he is a "messenger of information", and "those who say that the dead are too big to be denigrated and cannot be evaluated, detour themselves."
A good "porter of information", a good phrase "the dead are great".
Such accusations, which seem to flaunt rational thinking and can't wait to stand on the moral high ground, seem particularly ironic today.
If this poster had read the news recently, he would have wondered how he would feel about these "righteous words" remarks back then?
Such a mode of thinking is placed today, and people can't help but imagine,
If you think differently, the poster encountered an accident in a foreign country, and his family was very sad about it,
At this time, one of his elementary school classmates or fellow villagers who had not been in touch for many years, or simply an anonymous "information porter" came forward,
"This person still owed me fifty yuan that year", "This person took the scholarship to eat a big meal"...
How would the porter and his family feel?
There is no real empathy in this world.
Today, that is.
They are not parties, they have not experienced and experienced the pain of the parties,
So when the slightest voice of doubt sounded, in order to show their "uniqueness", they immediately responded in groups.
These people, why are they not holding the standards of saints to the victims and their families?
but take the standard of "slut" to treat criminals and bad people, treat themselves.
In fact, as early as two months after Zhang Yingying's disappearance, the so-called doubts had already begun.
Before the suspect was tried, Zhang Yingying's family, who went to the United States to find people, had been "interrogated" by netizens:
"I donated money to you, where did you spend it?"
"Zhang Yingying's whole family set out to the United States to find someone? Is this really necessary?
"You said that you couldn't find anyone who wouldn't return to China, and you found an immigration lawyer, do you want to take the opportunity to emigrate?"
"The donation target was raised from 15K to 500K, is it to find people or to support my family? Did you buy a house for Zhang Yingying's younger brother? ”
"Aunt Zhang Yingying buys milk powder on behalf of her, and her boyfriend holds a concert in the name of commemoration, this drama dares to make a fortune in the past?"
……
Gradually, more voices began to appear: Zhang Yingying's family was suspected of smuggling donations used to find people.
The reason is not unfounded, and there are reports that the ticket for Zhang's mother and brother to the United States is provided by Hainan Airlines for free - at no cost.
UIUC provides free accommodation, volunteers drive outside, and meals are delivered three times a day - food, clothing, housing and transportation do not cost money.
Wang Zhidong, a Chinese lawyer in Chicago, volunteered to provide legal services to Yingying's family – at no cost.
AT THE BEGINNING OF ZHANG YINGYING'S DISAPPEARANCE, LOCAL CHINESE OVERSEAS CHINESE SPENT $5,200 ON FACEBOOK TO FIND PEOPLE, MAKE HOMEPAGES AND WEBSITES, AND DOZENS OF FACEBOOK INTERNAL EMPLOYEES OPERATED THEM IN FRIENDSHIP;
More than 700 volunteers printed and distributed posters and leaflets to maintain media popularity – at no cost.
It doesn't cost money, what does their family raise 500,000 knives for? "It's a fraudulent donation"!
At first, Father Zhang did say not to donate.
After Zhang Yingying reported her disappearance, Zhang's family prepared to go to the United States to find someone, saying that they would not accept donations until they received accurate information from the police.

Three days later, the family arrived in the United States, and on the fundraising website in the United States gofundme.com the donation page set up by Zhang Yingying's school community credit union appeared.
The person in charge of the association said that it was initiated after the school and the family communicated consistently.
Next, someone left a message on the donation page: In just over a month, the donation target amount was adjusted from the initial 15K to 150K, and now it is 500K, why?
Netizens suggested that the website conduct an investigation into whether there was a professional fundraising agency behind Zhang Yingying's fundraising to cheat money and share it with her family.
At the same time, more people are questioning that the purpose of fundraising has changed.
At first, he supported the Zhang family to find clues during their time in the United States.
This fund was created to assist the family of missing U of I scholar Yingying Zhang with expenses incurred as the search for her continues.
On 7 August, it was discovered that the purpose of the donation had changed somehow: to continue searching for people and to support the family.
In addition to the above two points, what is more important is that the Zhang family can't give the whereabouts of this money.
Earlier, a spokesman for Zhang Yingying's family said: "It cost 70,000 knives in two months", mainly for air tickets, visas, living expenses and maintaining media popularity.
However, netizens don't believe it: clothing, food, housing, transportation, media popularity have been paid, and the only public expense is the 50,000 knives bounty Zhang Yingying's missing clues (of which, the FBI gave 10,000 knives) - where is the rest of the money spent?
Why is it necessary to donate 500K when the whole people are willing to pay the expenses?
Some would-be donors questioned that I simply wanted to find this girl, but I didn't want to "fulfill her wish to support her family."
Some people who have already donated have called for refunds: because it was a fundraising link shared by the police, they felt trustworthy, so they simply gave the money. I already knew that it was for her parents to provide for the pension, and I would not have been kind at all.
Zhang Yingying's boyfriend came forward to clarify:
"Yingying's parents and I will not keep any money for the future life and retirement of the family."
In fact, everyone questioned one-sidedly, how many people have thought about it: speeding up fundraising, increasing the amount of fundraising, and changing the purpose of fundraising, these behaviors are really made by Yingying's family?
Did their fundraiser fail to notice these details, on purpose or inadvertently ignoring them? Is it because of a lack of experience in running fundraising programs?
In any case, these should not become "handles" used by people with intentions, nor are they enough evidence to sentence the family for "fraudulent donations".
This should not be a reason for some people to spread rumors purely for the sake of excitement.
This should not be the basis for some people who donated money to stand on the moral high ground and ask the Zhang family to meet their own requirements.
After Yingying disappeared, they couldn't stand the chill when they worked hard to find someone in the United States.
But there's more to chilling than that.
On June 17, 2017, when the donation page was created, it said that no one except the family had control over the donation funds.
Some people questioned: Suspect that the US police are not powerful, and the Zhang family has taken so much money, why not find a private investigator?
According to the local US media "News", the Zhang family's aid lawyers said that they expected the cost and related expenses to reach 500,000 knives to 1 million knives, so they called on the public to continue to support and donate to Zhang Yingying's case, but the details and budget of this cost were not disclosed.

Viewpoint News also then interviewed Deng Hong, another lawyer in the United States.
His budget is far less than one million: "The price in Los Angeles is $75-150 per hour, which usually costs $2-30,000, plus the cost of hiring an expert generally does not exceed $50,000, and the cost of Chicago, where Zhang Yingying's case is located, will be lower."
Therefore, some people condemned: You see, the Zhang family is just looking for an excuse to ask for money.
The Zhang family did not specifically say the basis of the budget of 100W knife, but the people who took it for granted did not confirm that the Zhang family, who was looking for people and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, really did not cross this road?
They also did not understand that in fact, "the resources of law enforcement agents are already very rich, and the success rate of private investigators assisting in solving cases is not high, probably less than one percent" (by lawyer Deng Hong). I haven't thought that the FBI can't solve the case, is it easy for private investigators?
In addition, some people questioned: Zhang family has not moved except for going to Salem Town to find clues and witnesses, do they not want to spend money to find someone?
After some catalysis, the Zhang family issued a joint open letter at the end of August explaining the use of the donation, with relevant details.
But the voice of "fraudulent donation" did not subside.
Some netizens think that the Zhang family's use of funds is reasonable, but some people suspect that the Zhang family is completely dependent on social donations in the matter of finding people, and are unwilling to pay out of their own pockets.
After the first donation used the open letter, the Zhang family did not publicly explain more questions from netizens and donors, which escalated the conflict between some donors and the Zhang family.
In handling external communication and promoting the process of finding people, Zhang Yingying's family has always relied on Hou Xiaolin and Zhang Yingying's younger brother. Therefore, many netizens' dissatisfaction with the Zhang family also pointed directly to these two people.
Yesterday, in the only WeChat group "Finding Yingying" looking for Zhang Yingying, the voices of doubt and blame rose again.
Hou Zhang and netizens questioned each other about their "rhythm" - Hou Zhang and the others believed that some people with ulterior motives were deliberately provoking things, and some netizens believed that the Zhang family was unwilling to fulfill their promises and hid a lot of details of donations from them.
The trigger for the outbreak of contradictions in the WeChat group was Zhang Yingying's brother's questioning of an active netizen.
According to the group chat, the netizen has been following Zhang Yingying's rescue operation and has made a lot of contributions.
After the "fraudulent donation" occurred, the netizen continued to refute rumors and explanations on the Internet to help Zhang's family prove their innocence.
After Hou Xiaolin quit the group chat, Brother Zhang posted a screenshot of part of the article that the netizen refuted on Douban, and said that "this is the so-called article posted on Douban to refute rumors for his family", which caused the netizen to immediately post evidence that she refuted rumors for the Zhang family to prove her innocence.
Since then, others have been disappointed and "chilled" with the Zhang family because the netizen needs to "prove his innocence"...
"Appeals are useless, fruitless. Not a penny has been lost. ”
"The state courts have dismissed it, and they dismissed it on the grounds that:
The psychologist is not directly related to the case.
Psychologists are also hired by the school, can their school not be responsible for this?
The criminals said several times that they were going to kill and kill people, why didn't they do anything? ”
"The school is for its own reputation, for its own interests, so it asks the court to dismiss it."
Previously, for Zhang Yingying's case, Zhang's father and mother who lived in the school for two months were also kicked out by the school.
Father Zhang told reporters that he had not slept all night last night. He didn't know where to start, where else could they go to sue now? Appeals are also useless.
Father Zhang's desperate voice showed powerless sadness:
"There is no result, that's it.
There will be no more appeals.
No one bears any responsibility, not a penny is lost, not a penny. ”
Unlike international students from relatively wealthy families, Zhang Yingying's family economic conditions are not rich in the first place.
Zhang Yingying was born in a rural family, and Zhang's father's job was to drive a freight truck, usually returning home only once in ten days or half a month.
But as long as it is a parent-teacher meeting, Father Zhang will try to participate in it.
Listening to the teacher praise Zhang Yingying at the parent-teacher meeting, it was his proudest and happiest moment.
Father and mother Zhang's greatest hope is for their daughter to receive higher education and be able to make a difference.
Zhang Yingying, who has excelled in school since she was a child, is the hope of the whole family and the source of their original happiness.
Is Zhang Yingying's father wrong with bringing goods?
The smart daughter is gone, and they need to rely financially on them to live out their old age.
