Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

This is a comment posted by an account with the ID "Old Li's Cancer Donation Hotline 1" and a profile picture that is a typical selfie of a middle-aged or elderly person.

This comment was over a thousand words long, and although it contained many typos, the general meaning was still very clear.

In essence, he was also a cancer patient who, after seeing news about the foundation online, saw hope despite being in despair.

Then, in the comments, he recounted how difficult his life was, how poor his family was, how their savings were almost gone, and how his children were borrowing money everywhere.

In short, it was all kinds of misery, and all sorts of reasons came up.

He recounted that he had also signed up for the Deep Space Foundation's assistance program, feeling that he met all the requirements.

But he waited a long time, full of expectation, and a day or two passed, but he still didn't receive any response.

He finally received a response in the last two days, but the result was a huge disappointment.

According to the Deep Space Foundation.

"They said I didn't meet the requirements for assistance and rejected my application! This made me very angry and felt very wronged. I felt like I had been deceived!"

If you can't help the general public, then don't promote yourself like this. What's the difference between this and self-promotion? You've gained a reputation as a good person, but what about us old folks? We're already struggling to make ends meet, and now I'm even thinking of being discharged from the hospital and going to lie down in the Longevity Cave in Guangxi!
This is fake! Please don't believe it!

Then, not long after, the account posted a video.

The video content is simple, but it is indeed an elderly man holding up his phone to film himself. You can see the breathing tube inserted into the elderly man's body, the IV needle in his body, and the top of his head, which is completely bald.

He also took out a large stack of documents and flipped through them page by page, seemingly trying to prove that his illness was indeed real.

As he flipped through the pages, he continued talking non-stop.

"This is all my information. As you can see, my illness is real. I'm not lying at all. My family is on the verge of collapse. We really can't afford to spend any more money. I'm desperate because I know I'll die if this continues."

I was hopeful, but when I tried to contact the Deep Space Foundation, they told me I didn't meet their requirements.

What did I do wrong? Was my cancer diagnosis fake? You yourselves said that any legal citizen of China with an illness can apply! You even said you'd take out 100 million to help people! Do I need 100 million from you to treat this illness? Or did you never even intend to help anyone?
"Big star, do you think it's fun to mess with us ordinary people? Let me tell you, this isn't how you behave!"

Originally, the entire internet was filled with news about the two charitable organizations founded by Xia Shen. This matter had generated a lot of buzz, and now more and more people are coming forward to testify to the authenticity of the matter and to share their own experiences of receiving assistance from Deep Space.

Originally, the internet was full of praise, which left those who had been questioning the situation feeling stifled and without a channel to voice their opinions.

They've been really suffering lately, facing relentless attacks from Xia Shen's fans and onlookers, who even started a home visit segment. They couldn't say anything they wanted to say.

Indeed, Xia Shen has relatively few fans in the Chinese entertainment industry, but that doesn't mean he has none.

On the contrary, Xia Shen had the most haters among his peers in the early days, without exception. However, after he successfully transformed his image, many of his haters quieted down.

But that doesn't mean all these haters are gone.

You know, people are all stubborn and proud. Most people can't accept their own failures, no matter what kind of failure it is or how they view others.

It is absolutely impossible to get someone to admit they are wrong or that they are incapable.

Just like when Tang was criticized by everyone for "Wealth from All Directions" and "Great Ambitions," even though music critics across the internet, both domestic and international, gave high scores to prove that these were indeed high-quality songs, it was still to no avail.

Listening to music is subjective, and disliking a person can also be subjective.

Not to mention those who were skeptical after this incident came to light.

Never underestimate the number of people online who enjoy moral blackmail; in their eyes, they can doubt everything.

They can question anything that doesn't unfold according to their expectations, based on the 'reasonableness' of their own viewpoint.

Even if their suspicions are proven wrong in the end, it doesn't matter. If they don't think they're wrong, then they're not wrong. Now, this unexpected counter-evidence is like an oasis suddenly appearing in the desert, instantly stirring them up as if they've found an outlet for their emotions.

Suddenly, everyone appeared.

"I knew it! There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's just that all crows are black."

"Trust capital? That's laughable. These people are the parasites of today's society, sucking the blood of young people and ensuring they never have a chance to rise above their circumstances."

“I said it was impossible before, and a bunch of fanatical believers came to curse me. This is blatant proof.”

"Hahahaha, there are still too many shills."

"Protect our Mr. Li!"

"Xia Shen won't donate to you, and he won't care about you, but I will donate to you! I've already transferred the money!"

Then, below is a screenshot showing that one yuan was deducted from my personal payment account.

In addition, more and more patients have come forward to speak out, saying that they are all patients and have applied for assistance from the Deep Space Foundation, but all of them have been rejected.

Each one spoke with increasing tears, describing their lives and destinies as incredibly tragic.

The family is so broke they can't even lift a finger.

I have no children around, and no one to help me.

Just make it as miserable as possible.

This did generate a huge amount of public opinion, and it really had a significant impact on Xia Shen and Deep Space Entertainment.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Wan Bin was furious as he watched the online uproar.

He had been in a good mood during this period.

My idol has released a new song, and I no longer need to worry about my illness ruining my family.

This led to an improvement in his previously suppressed mood.

But seeing these online arguments really ruined his mood.

He turned his head to look at Old Li's position on the other side.

He knew perfectly well that the "Old Li" on the internet was actually his roommate, Old Li.

"Why are you posting these things online?" Wan Bin asked.

"Why can't I post it? Isn't this the truth?" Old Li looked at Wan Bin, his face showing no pleasantness.

In his view, Wan Bin was a typical example of someone who got a good deal but then complained.

Moreover, he disliked Wan Bin because Wan Bin was in the same grade as his youngest son and was a college student.

Now, Wan Bin can get the assistance, but he can't.

This infuriated him.

He believes this is inherently unfair.

He has experienced these injustices, that's a fact, so why can't he speak out?
Isn't this simply his right? (End of Chapter)
