Looking back at "Hou Yaohua's donation of 30", and then looking at "Cao Yunjin's fraudulent donation", who is behind the scenes?

At the end of 2023, Cao Yunjin donated 200,000 yuan to the earthquake-stricken areas in Gansu and Qinghai, but this act of kindness triggered an unwarranted rumor and online violence on the Internet. Although the China Charity Federation has issued a statement of thanks for Cao Yunjin's donation, some self-media and netizens have launched unprovoked attacks based on a screenshot of "Cao Yunjin donated 1 yuan", pushing "Cao Yunjin's fraudulent donation" onto the hot search list.

Even though Cao Yunjin himself called the police and issued a resolute statement, some self-media still chose to believe this baseless screenshot and promoted an article titled "Cao Yunjin donated 200,000 yuan? was exposed by netizens to donate only 1 yuan, and the P picture fraud storm intensified", which made this senseless Internet turmoil even worse. This has led to people's questioning of the sense of responsibility and the authenticity of information from the media.

However, the facts have proved that this screenshot of "Cao Yunjin donates 1 yuan" is purely fictitious, just like the previous "Hou Yaohua donated 30" incident, it was some netizens who used false information to create rumors. Such a low-level and irresponsible behavior not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but made Cao Yunjin suffer grievances.

The reason why online rumors can spread is that, on the one hand, some self-media pursue click-through rates and traffic, and are unwilling to verify the authenticity of information, and on the other hand, some netizens lack the ability to distinguish the authenticity of information and are easily swayed by emotions. Regarding this phenomenon of online violence, Cao Yunjin expressed the hope that the mastermind behind the rumors can be uncovered, and the majority of netizens also called for punishment of those who spread the rumors.

At this juncture, we should see that donations are a sincere act of kindness and should not be distracted by false information. I hope that cyberspace will be clearer and no longer disturbed by rumors spread by some people with ulterior motives. Let's work together to maintain a real and kind online environment, so that positive energy can be transmitted more smoothly.
