Lili, who was born in an ordinary rural family in Suqian County, Jiangsu Province, has a pair of hardworking and simple parents, and the whole family relies on a few acres of land at home to make a living. Despite the hardships of life, Lily showed extraordinary talent and intelligence from an early age, excelling in her studies.
With unwavering perseverance and hard work, Lily's academic performance has remained excellent from elementary school to high school. Whether on campus or in life, Lily will do her best to help parents reduce their burden and strive to do better.
After school, Lily would always go out into the fields to help her parents with farm work, or take care of the household chores at home, waiting for her parents to come home and enjoy a warm dinner time with her.
Lily, who deeply understands the difficulties of her family, is always doing her best to help her parents share the pressure. In the face of her parents' ardent expectations, Lily did not disappoint them, and finally successfully admitted to a well-known university in Nanjing, Jiangsu, opening a new chapter in her life.
However, shortly after Lily stepped onto the university campus, she was hit by a huge challenge in her life – after a sudden syncope, she was diagnosed with advanced blood cancer. Faced with the million-dollar cost of treatment, the poor family could not afford it, and Lily even had the idea of giving up the treatment.
However, when she saw her parents' tearful and pleading eyes, her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
Faced with a life-or-death stake, Lily's parents decide to use all they can to raise money to save her. They did not hesitate to sell all their possessions and keep only the simple furniture needed to maintain the basics.
At the same time, Lily's mother also began to look for various part-time jobs, and her father, who was originally frail and sickly and suffering from cancer, returned to the heavy labor of the construction site despite his physical exhaustion, enduring the scorching summer heat, just to earn a paltry income of two or three hundred yuan.
Seeing her parents working so hard and so hard, Lily was deeply moved and rekindled her love for life and the courage to survive. She was determined to live for her parents and would never give up easily.
In order to raise enough medical expenses, Lily, at the suggestion of a friend, launched a huge crowdfunding campaign on an online platform, sending a signal for help to all sectors of society.
The news spread extremely quickly and attracted a lot of attention and retweets on social media.
At this moment, Mr. Zhang, an entrepreneur with an astonishing fortune, paid attention to Lily's plight and was deeply shaken.
A few years ago, his baby daughter died of blood cancer, and Mr. Zhang felt guilty because he could not raise enough money to pay for the high medical bills.
Now, he has successfully started a business and accumulated a lot of wealth, when he saw Lily's situation, he decided to lend a hand without hesitation, and immediately donated up to 900,000 yuan through the online platform, hoping that this poor college student can reverse his fate and regain hope in life.
Lily and her family were overjoyed when they received Mr. Zhang's massive donation of 900,000 yuan, thinking that the problem that was bothering them had finally been solved and they could receive treatment with peace of mind.
However, unexpectedly, Lily only received a donation of 30,000 yuan in the end.
Mr. Zhang was shocked when she sincerely expressed her gratitude to Mr. Zhang, and he immediately began to investigate the flow of donations. After careful verification, it was found that the remaining 870,000 yuan of charity funds were privately distributed to other patients by the fundraising platform, and were not really used for Lily's treatment.
In an instant, Lily's family seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell, in endless pain. Due to the broken financial chain, Lily's condition deteriorated rapidly, and her physical condition deteriorated.
Although Lily's parents traveled far and wide to seek legal assistance, fundraising platforms ignored the matter.
In this way, Lily unfortunately passed away due to lack of treatment funds, and her life at the age of 20 came to an abrupt end. She had countless hopes and dreams to one day change the status quo of her family's poverty.
However, fate played such a trick on people, and just as she was preparing for a new journey in life, she suffered from this deadly disease that drained all her hopes.
After learning this shocking truth, Mr. Zhang's heart was like a knife before he burst into tears on Lily's sickbed. The girl in front of her, who had just stepped into the university, was supposed to have a broad future and rely on her own wisdom and talent to change her fate.
However, her life path was ruthlessly cut off by an illness, which made Mr. Zhang heartbroken, as if he had once again experienced the tragedy of his daughter's death a few years ago.
Shocked, Mr. Zhang called the customer service number of the fundraising platform several times to inquire about the whereabouts of the donation.
The staff on the other end of the phone was unusually calm, and there was no guilt in his tone, and replied: "Honorable sir, your generous donation has been fairly and equitably distributed to a number of critically ill patients in urgent need of help in accordance with a strictly followed regulatory process, and Miss Lily is one of the beneficiaries.
The voice was so firm and sonorous, "We have always adhered to professional ethics and have never had any money used for personal purposes."
"Dear Sir, I fully understand your anger at this moment......" the staff member continued to explain in an insincere tone.
Mr. Zhang could no longer bear this indifference and rudeness, and slammed the mobile phone in his hand to the ground, his face gloomy as water. He clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, his eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart.
As an elite man with a successful career, it is rare for him to be so out of control, but the pain of losing a loved one cannot be easily erased.
In the end, Mr. Zhang made up his mind and decided to seek justice for Lily through legal means.
Lily's death is like a sharp knife that tears through the dark veil hidden under the glossy façade of those unscrupulous fundraising platforms. These platforms loot for wealth in the name of philanthropy, but in fact keep the vast majority of donations for themselves, ignoring those in need.
For critically ill patients like Lily, who are poor and dying, they turn a deaf ear and don't care.
When Mr. Zhang gradually revealed this shocking truth, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in all walks of life.
For a time, Lily's experience became a hot topic in the whole society, awakening the general public's strict supervision and deep reflection on some for-profit fundraising platforms. People have begun to choose donation channels carefully, and they have called for a crackdown on such illegal and criminal activities.
Some senior Internet experts even dug deep into the past scandals of the fundraising platform, which caused an uproar in the public opinion circles.
In the face of doubts and criticism from Mr. Zhang and the majority of netizens, this fundraising platform finally began to recognize the reality and revealed its greedy and shameless true colors. Soon after, it was seriously investigated by the relevant authorities, and those responsible were also punished by law.
Lily's short but glorious life is like a bright meteor piercing the night sky, planting the seeds of justice, courage and love deep in the hearts of every human being. This poor but positive college student uses her personal experience and endless regrets to prompt the whole society to face up to and reflect on the existence of hypocrisy and sin.
In the face of the disregard of the fund-raising platform and the increasingly black defenses, Mr. Zhang resolutely chose to use the weapon of the law to defend justice, and issued a deafening cry! Although the unfortunate things were not avoided because of him, his courage and firmness profoundly proclaimed to the world: Those rural students with ideals must not withstand such a powerful blow!
With unwavering determination, Mr. Zhang went through a bumpy and tortuous struggle to defend his rights, and the insatiable fundraising scam was finally brought to justice, sentenced to a fine of millions of yuan, and forced to close down permanently.
More importantly, this incident has triggered the whole society to think deeply and be vigilant about public welfare and charity, and we have begun to choose the recipients and channels of donation more rationally and prudently, and at the same time strongly call for stronger supervision.
Suddenly, a tragedy similar to what happened to Lily was frequently exposed on the Internet, causing widespread heated discussions and attention. With the joint efforts and supervision of all sectors of society, many unscrupulous fundraising platforms have been verified and rectified, and some have even been directly banned.
Although Lily cannot change her fate, she is like a light that illuminates the path to social justice. The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. It is precisely because of warriors like her and Mr. Zhang that more people have been inspired to come forward and turn the tide with heroic righteousness, so that those ugly acts have nowhere to hide.
