Some netizens questioned whether such a charity act was really out of concern for the disaster area, or just chasing the momentary heat.
However, when people questioned this approach, Zhang Lan posted a video of Ma Liuji donating supplies to the earthquake-stricken area on December 20, trying to prove the essence of her philanthropic act.
