Too much money can be trouble. Luo Er from Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong province, has realized this over the past few days.
On Monday, Luo posted an article online, saying that his 5-year-old daughter, Luo Yixiao, has been diagnosed with leukemia and fighting for her survival. Two days later a commercial company re-published the article on its official WeChat account, seeking help for the child and promising to donate 2 yuan ($0.29) to her "treatment fund" every time the article was reposted.
It was reposted half a million times, and the combined donation from readers and the company reached 2.67 million yuan.
