On January 13, 2020, Wu Huayan, who was only 24 years old, passed away after rescue efforts failed, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Wu Huayan's cause of death was heart failure caused by Progeria syndrome.
But public opinion did not stop there, and the poverty and the missing donations about his life have been sparked by discussions to this day.
In his early years, he knew that the world was difficult
Songtao County, located in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, was one of the poorest counties in the country before it was lifted out of poverty on March 3, 2020.
Until her death, Wu Huayan did not wait for the day when she came to her hometown Songtao County to get rid of poverty and take off her hat.
Her life stayed on the eve of the Spring Festival, that year, Wu Huayan, who was dependent on her younger brother, left her younger brother alone to spend the cold winter alone.
Wu Huayan, born in 1995, has a happy family, like most of her peers.
When Wu Huayan was three years old, the family ushered in a new life, and the arrival of her younger brother made this farming family deep in the mountains more happy and burdensome.
Although his parents are farmers, the family works diligently and lives a relatively good life.
God seems to be intent on opposing Wu Huayan's family, and soon after the birth of her younger brother, her mother did not know what disease she had, and a day after the onset of the illness, she left her two young children behind.
The survivors steal life, and the dead are gone. At the time of his mother's death, his younger brother Wu Jianglong was one year old, Wu Huayan was four years old, and his father became the only parent in the family.
In the days that followed, my father worked hard to raise two children to grow up, and the lack of maternal love did not crush the young Wu Huayan, because she couldn't bear to watch her father work all day, Wu Huayan consciously took on some housework at home, boiling water to cook, cleaning, and taking care of her younger brother, which became a compulsory course for this child after school every day.
thought that the hard days would be over eventually, but when Wu Huayan was 18 years old, her father, who was already frail and sick, suffered from liver cirrhosis, which made the poor family even worse.
People often say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there will always be rainbows after the wind and rain, but my father's illness can only wait for death at home because he has no money for treatment.
After being tortured by illness for half a year, this father, who had suffered all his life, went away with hatred like his mother more than ten years ago.
The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night. Wu Huayan was not crushed by the joke of fate, and after wiping her tears and facing life with a positive attitude again, the child, who had just turned 18, took on the task of taking care of her younger brother alone.
Although her younger brother and she are not very old, Wu Huayan always feels that after she has no parents, she is the head of this family.
After their father passed away, the siblings moved to live with their uncle.
Due to the care of the state, Wu Huayan and her younger brother were rated as national first-class poor households and could receive 300 yuan per month for living expenses.
High school has to continue to study, life also needs to eat, no matter how hard the days are, after all, we still have to move forward step by step, although moved to the uncle's house, but because they did not get along very well, Wu Huayan and his younger brother moved back to the empty home again, during the New Year's holidays, the uncle will send some daily necessities.
Due to the limited living expenses, Wu Huayan is extremely frugal for her three meals a day.
Since the first year of high school, Wu Huayan has set a limit for herself to spend no more than 2 yuan per day, although this situation was later confirmed to be a fabrication by the donor organization, but Wu Huayan's frugality is true.
With Wu Huayan's savings, life was difficult, but who would have thought that after losing her parents one after another, Wu Huayan was about to face the possibility of losing her younger brother.
Perhaps because of the untimely death of his mother and the death of his father's illness, his younger brother, who was already suffering from intermittent psychosis, became ill again in Wu Huayan's third year of high school.
Although the hospital reimbursed 50% of the treatment costs for her younger brother, Wu Huayan had to raise money in the face of the remaining 5,000 yuan in hospitalization.
I have lost my parents and can't lose my brother anymore, Wu Huayan said this to herself more than once when facing her younger brother who was often ill, talking nonsense, and running around.
For her younger brother's hospitalization fee, the elder sister, who was in charge early, wrote more than 20 applications, first from the township government and then to the county government to raise funds, and it was not until half a year later that the remaining 5,000 yuan of hospitalization fees were raised.
Wu Huayan, who believed that life should look forward, never thought that after taking away her parents and torturing her younger brother, illness would one day befall her.
But the floating life has to be young for a long time
On the eve of the college entrance examination, Wu Huayan, who was running around because of her younger brother's hospitalization, failed to review well, and under the double pressure of internal and external pressure, she was originally among the best, but failed to be admitted to her favorite university, and was only admitted to a local vocational college in Guizhou, and chose to major in finance.
This result made her homeroom teacher feel sorry too.
When she was in college, Wu Huayan applied for a subsidy for poor students from the school, which improved her diet of only eating steamed buns before, but her body that had already been dragged down was not accumulated overnight, and it was naturally impossible to change it by improving her food in just a few years.
Wu Huayan, who is used to frugality, although she has the help of teachers and classmates around her, the change in food is only from steamed bread and chili peppers to rice and vegetables, which is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Jianghe's physical condition.
On October 13, 2019, after fainting many times, Wu Huayan, accompanied by teachers and classmates, came to the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University for examination.
According to the later doctor, Wu Huayan, who came to the hospital at that time, was in a state of extreme malnutrition, with a height of only 135 cm and a weight of only 43 kilograms.
Wu Huayan was sad when faced with the diagnosis results, but she also thought more about what she would do with her younger brother in the future if she was gone? He really didn't have any relatives, could it be that "my sister buried her in the spring and the mud and bones, and her brother was full of snow in the world"? At that time, she was already hospitalized, and she really hoped that she could bear the pain of her younger brother and let her younger brother grow up carefree.
On October 25 of the same year, the 9958 Rescue Center verified Wu Huayan's family situation, combined with the current situation of serious illness and long-term hospitalization, and launched a donation collection for the rescue process on the Internet.
On October 30, after learning of Wu Huayan's situation, the Tongren Civil Affairs Bureau announced the start of the emergency relief procedure and allocated 20,000 yuan for Wu Huayan for treatment.
It was at this time that Wu Huayan appeared on the Internet as a rescued person.
People's tears were instigated by this kind, strong and optimistic girl, and for a while, donations poured in, and Wu Huayan's money for medical treatment was settled, but even if there was more money, it was difficult to continue her life, not to mention that these donations were not really donated to this kind girl later.
Before her death, Wu Huayan once said that the time spent in the hospital was the most relaxing time in her life, and she felt very happy with the care of so many well-wishers.
In the face of the overwhelming encouragement on the Internet to cheer her up, the weather-beaten girl spent three days writing a long thank you letter, at the end of which she said that she would recover as soon as possible, give back to the society, and repay those well-wishers in need......
But the development of things often backfires, the hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is focused on finding the miserable.
Because when she was sent to the hospital, Wu Huayan's condition was already terminally ill, although the doctor actively treated her, but the symptoms of premature aging caused Wu Huayan's body to deteriorate.
On January 13, 2020, after three months in the hospital, this 24-year-old girl, at a flowery age, with reluctance to her younger brother, left the world, perhaps, she and her parents have another home in heaven, waiting for her to reunite.
Money is scarce, and life is thin
With Wu Huayan's departure, the news of fake donations on fundraising platforms has been rampant.
Among them, the 9958 rescue center, which was the first to launch network assistance for Wu Huayan, fell into the whirlpool of public opinion.
In the process of investigating the authenticity, the reporter of the Beijing News found that as a professional benevolent organization with online fundraising qualifications, 9958 had subjective exaggeration in the process of implementing Wu Huayan's fundraising, ignoring the fact that Wu Huayan was weak and sick, and had a family history, which caused the outside world to have a subjective inducement of "illness caused by poverty".
In the process of receiving help, Wu Huayan also saw the description of her life by the 9958 organization, and she felt very angry:
"I'm not as pitiful as they write on the Internet, although I have eaten steamed buns with chili peppers, but I don't eat steamed buns and chili peppers every day, I have a lot of kind people around me who help me, my teachers even handed over a year of life to the school for me, and the school also distributed nutritious meals to our students, and they all ate very well, every time I go home, my neighbors will also call me to go to their house for dinner, if they write like this, my teachers, classmates and neighbors will see it, what will they think of me as a person? I really hope that my things don't happen, and I don't want my things to be posted online......"
Even so, before Wu Huayan's death, despite Wu Huayan's opposition, the 9958 organization still launched online fundraising on three online platforms for the same reason of fundraising, but the real assistance to Wu Huayan was only 20,000 yuan on November 4, 2019.
Even after Wu Huayan's death, the 9958 online fundraising link is still not closed, and some unaware well-wishers are still conveying their love for this hard-working child.
Of the more than one million yuan raised, Wu Huayan only learned about 600,000 of them, and asked that the money be reserved for those who need more help, because she couldn't use so much.
But what she didn't know was that the 9958 organization set up another account to donate money for Wu Huayan and raised 400,000 yuan.
There is no impermeable wall on the Internet, and after the 400,000 donations were learned by netizens that Wu Huayan did not know about it, they ran to the official website of 9958 to comment, asking for the results, and the final reply given by the institution was: "The increase in the fundraising amount is because 6% of the donation needs to be charged as the implementation cost."
For a time, the 9958 benevolent organization was angrily scolded by netizens as a "black-hearted organization", accusing them of eating human blood steamed buns, and excavated that the 9958 organization not only had deception in Wu Huayan's matter, but also in the institution's donation projects, there were many projects that had passed away and children who had donated and could still donate.
In addition, netizens investigated more deeply and found that all the funds raised for seriously ill patients were not given to the donors, but were used for financial management and interest collection after the death of the patients.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the person in charge of the 9958 agency issued an announcement saying that due to Wu Huayan's repeated illness, the conditions for surgery could not be met, and the coordination of the local government was inconsistent, so all the funds were not delivered to Wu Huayan's family.
According to the Charity Law of the People's Republic of China, charitable organizations and charitable trusts shall, in the capacity of trustees, clearly inform the donors of their funding standards, the work process and scope of work of the trustees, as well as contact information, office addresses and other information, but in the fundraising project of 9958, there is no such information.
In the end, under the pressure of public opinion, on January 20, 2020, the 9958 organization returned all the donations of 1,004,977.28 yuan raised to each donor through the coordination and processing of the China Children's Charity Association.
If Wu Huayan knew underground, knowing that her tragic experience was coerced by the lust of others, I don't know how she would feel, can Internet rescue really help everyone in need openly and transparently?
There is no lack of love in the world, let alone kind people, Wu Huayan is a caring and kind person, and so are those who help her, but when love is used and kindness is deceived, what should we do?
In the face of the bizarre online world, those who are mercenary play with the whole system in the palm of their hands, while the kind people have to pay for it.
Their success should not be based on the kindness of caring people, and they should not harm the interests of others for the sake of gain.
What is the wish of this life and the future
In his book "The Tin Drum", Günter Grass records a child who will not grow up, and the protagonist Oscar feels that everything in the world is too absurd, so he decides not to grow up again.
But then, after experiencing the death of his parents and World War II, Oscar suddenly grew up again because he felt that he could make an absurd life interesting.
A novel is a novel after all, although it comes from life, it is higher than life because it embodies the author's desire for a better life.
But real life is not, and neither is Wu Huayan's life.
Wu Huayan has written some small poems, one of which reads:
I didn't sleep all night last night
Because I'm waiting for a snowflake
Dance with you when the snow is drifting
Sing you a song about snow
But it didn't come
In this poem, we can see the girl's fantasy of the unknown and her desire for the future, and there is also helplessness in it: I want to dance and sing for you when it snows, but I waited all night, and the snow did not come, so you did not come.
is like Zhang Ailing's sentence, "I'd rather rain every day, thinking that you don't come because it's raining."
There is a story circulating on the Internet, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but I hope it is true, because this can improve Wu Huayan's short and regrettable life.
This little girl once had a boyfriend, and although they were thousands of miles away, the letters from Hongyan made them no longer far away.
Because Wu Huayan is sick, she proposed to break up with her boyfriend in Lanzhou, because she didn't want to drag him down and make him sad, but who would have thought that the boyfriend who calmly agreed to her request to break up has actually been hiding the fact that she has cancer, and like her, he wants to break up, and wants the other party not to be too sad when facing his departure, or he doesn't know that he has left.
is also a fallen person at the end of the world, but because of the tricks of fate, they sympathize with each other.
In the correspondence, Wu Huayan mentioned that she wanted to travel, to see Tiananmen Square in Beijing, to get married and have children, and to ...... He agreed to all of this, and promised to go together when he finished his graduate school and when Wu Huayan got the accounting certificate.
In the 320 letters sent to him by Wu Huayan, she planned in detail where she would go in her future life, what she would do, what she would eat, and what she would ......
After the breakup, the boy saw the news on the news that reported Wu Huayan's experience, and then he suddenly understood the other party, why he broke up with himself, but even if he knew the truth, he couldn't do anything for her, when Wu Huayan was hospitalized, he left the world first, maybe he wanted to meet Wu Huayan's parents as a son-in-law in advance.
When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is sometimes non-action.
People always hope that the end of the story can end well, but the truth often opens with comedy and ends with tragedy.
In Wu Huayan's incident, the poverty when she was a child, the hardship when she grew up, the helplessness when she made a donation, and too many regrets incited everyone's emotions and pierced the hearts of everyone who paid attention to this kind girl.
While lamenting the fate of others, we should make our lives more meaningful, life is irretrievable, what we can do is to take care of ourselves at the same time, to correct the unbearable Wu Huayan saw during her lifetime, so that the social order is more standardized, in the last poem left by Wu Huayan, wrote such a sentence.
She said that she wanted to return to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and plant a deep blue ocean on the highest roof in Guizhou, where there would be a well-fed boat to take her into the distance......
