A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.
Chapter 18 Getting Involved
Su Fan transferred all 20,000 yuan that Fang Cheng had transferred to her, and then said, "From here, kneel all the way to Chunxi Road. If anyone asks you anything, don't say anything. Just do as I say, and I guarantee I'll raise enough money for your surgery."
"I'd die for anything to save my daughter."
The woman didn't ask why, nor did she hesitate.
She hugged the child in her arms tightly and kowtowed to Su Fan.
Su Fan stood up and stepped aside.
Watching her kneel forward step by step, Su Fan murmured, "People rush about in a panic, all for a few pieces of silver, yet these few pieces of silver can relieve all kinds of sorrow in the world."
Su Fan took out his phone and opened Weibo.
His account has gained a lot of followers in the past few days.
The buzz surrounding the three songs hadn't died down yet, and yesterday's live stream added fuel to the fire.
This morning, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism released the official music video for "Chengdu," featuring aerial shots of Chengdu street scenes, the plane trees on Yulin Road, the lanterns in Jinli, and the water of Dujiangyan.
It garnered over 100 million views in just one hour.
The top trending topic was "Chengdu MV".
The second most searched topic was "Su Fan".
If he posts a Weibo post now, a lot of people will see it.
He thought for a moment, typed a line of text, and attached a photo.
The photo was taken just now. The woman is kneeling in the subway passage, holding a child in her arms, with a cardboard sign in front of her that asks for help.
"If you can crawl on your knees from Yulin Road to Chunxi Road, I'll give you 20,000 yuan."
After editing the message, send it.
After doing all this, Su Fan sighed, "It seems I'm going to be the Young Hero of Jinquan in this world!"
Su Fan put his phone in his pocket and entered the subway station.
There was little reaction in the first minute after the Weibo post was published.
In the third minute, people started leaving comments in the comment section.
In the fifth minute, the number of comments started to increase.
Ten minutes in, the comment section exploded.
"??? Is this Su Fan's account???"
"Was your account hacked? How could you post such outrageous comments?"
"Su Fan, wake up! You want a woman holding a child to crawl on her knees all the way to Chunxi Road? Are you even human?"
"I followed you to listen to your music, not to see you doing this kind of vulgar stuff. I'm unfollowing you!"
"Has anyone called the police? Wouldn't this be considered disorderly conduct?"
"Everyone, calm down. Could there be something going on? Su Fan's previous behavior doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
"What secret? What secret could make someone say such a thing? Making a mother kneel and walk for several blocks, then taking photos and posting them online? This isn't charity, it's humiliation!"
"I strongly urge the official authorities to come out and refute this rumor! This account has definitely been hacked!"
"I'm a local. It's at least two or three kilometers from Yulin Road to Chunxi Road. You expect a woman carrying a child to kneel down and walk that distance? Su Fan, are you out of your mind?"
……
Su Fan was on the subway, watching the comments section flood in one after another.
There were all sorts of people: some who criticized him, some who questioned him, some who defended him, and some who said they would call the police.
He flipped his phone over, screen down, and placed it on his lap, thinking to himself, "No rush, I'll wait a bit longer."
The voices of doubt on the internet are growing louder.
More people began to pay attention to the woman holding the child in the photo.
Someone recognized it as a subway transfer station near Yulin Road.
Many people started heading there, wanting to see if it was really true.
Soon, a local blogger posted an update with a short video: "The person is right here, kneeling and crawling from Yulin Road towards Chunxi Road. She is indeed holding a child in her arms. I asked her questions, but she didn't say anything and just kept kneeling. I don't know what happened, but it's heartbreaking to see."
In the video, the woman is kneeling on the ground, inching forward step by step.
The child in her arms was wrapped in an old cotton-padded coat, so her face was not visible.
Someone offered her water, but she refused.
Someone tried to pull her up, but she didn't move.
They just kept kneeling and moving forward.
The video was quickly shared tens of thousands of times.
The live stream room has also been set up.
Someone was following behind the woman with their phone, and the camera was shaking violently.
But the number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing.
One thousand, five thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand...
The comments section was flooded with all sorts of messages.
"Is this real or fake?"
"If this is fake, the acting is amazing!"
"Where is Su Fanren? He disappeared after posting that Weibo?"
"Has anyone called the police? This is so strange!"
……
Major media outlets also jumped on the bandwagon.
Local TV reporters rushed to the scene with their cameras.
Online media editors are frantically refreshing Su Fan's Weibo, waiting for his next move.
When Lin Fang received the notification from the station, she was editing footage from yesterday's live broadcast.
She glanced at the trending topics on her phone.
The #SuFanKneelingIncident# has surged to second place, followed by a dark red "Explosive" character.
She frowned as she read the Weibo post and watched several videos of the scene, but she just couldn't believe that Su Fan had done it.
She had a long face-to-face conversation with Su Fan yesterday and knew that the guy was a loose tongue and spoke inappropriately.
But he has a good eye; that kind of person wouldn't humiliate a mother holding her child for no reason.
She wanted to contact Su Fan to verify, but after searching for a long time, she realized that she did not have his contact information.
The interview was conducted via a communication tool; she hadn't even added Su Fan on social media.
Lin Fang grabbed her coat and headed out the door. No matter what, she had to go and see what was going on.
It was already noon when the woman crawled on her knees to Chunxi Road.
People followed behind him the whole way.
Some people were holding up their phones.
Some were carrying video cameras.
Some people were just there to watch the show.
She finally stopped at the side of an intersection, her knees so sore she couldn't stand up.
Someone handed her water, and she took a sip.
When pressed for an answer, she did not respond.
She was just waiting.
When the young man's words come true.
Su Fan has been keeping track of the progress of the matter.
He sat in a corner of the airport waiting area, watching people hurl insults at him.
He wasn't angry, and his expression didn't even change much.
Finally, in a live broadcast, the woman stopped at the intersection of Chunxi Road.
He looked for a few seconds to make sure she had arrived, then let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's done."
He left the live stream, opened Weibo, and began editing his second post.
"I was just kidding you. I didn't expect you to actually kneel down like that. I give you a thumbs up. But I still hope you can raise enough money for your child's surgery as soon as possible."
The comment section exploded the moment the news broke.
"Holy crap, is this something a human being could say? It's downright animalistic!"
"Su Fan, are you even human? A mother knelt for several streets holding her sick child, and you're telling me you're just teasing her?"
"Unfollowed, completely unfollowed, I'll never listen to your songs again!"
"What the hell? I thought you were quite interesting yesterday, and this is what you show me today?"
"I suggest a complete ban across the internet; this kind of person shouldn't have any traffic!"
"I was so angry I cried. That mother knelt for so long, and all she got was 'Just kidding'?"
"Su Fan, have you lost your conscience?"
"We strongly demand that Su Fan issue a public apology! An apology to that mother! An apology to society!"
