Livestreaming no excuse for life-threatening acts

IN DECEMBER, a male from Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning province, died after drinking a lot of liquor while livestreaming. Thepaper.cn comments:

According to a friend of his family, he drank heavily every day for three consecutive months in order to attract lots of fans. A video clip even shows he developed a nervous twitch because he drank too much.

He is not the only one of his kind. On the livestreaming platform he served, there are still many who try to attract fans by going to extremes. The more liquor they drink, the more fans they hope to get and the more money they will make.
