Charity rules can be discussed, but love can’t be doubted.
The "Luo Yixiao Incident" is the focus news of the network this year, and the public opinion dispute is also very big. The main viewpoints are divided into two factions. One group thinks that Luo Yixiao’s father, Raul, conceals his personal property, has many properties under his name, and has the ability to bear his daughter’s medical expenses. In this case, asking for help through the Internet is suspected of fraudulent donation, not to mention that he also cooperates with a company, which is also suspected of hype marketing; The other school thinks that although Raul didn’t explain his property status when asking for help, it is true that his daughter Luo Yixiao suffers from leukemia, and individuals have the right to ask for help through the Internet, which does not violate the spirit of the new charity law implemented on September 1.
The controversy itself even exceeded the public’s concern about Luo Yixiao’s illness. The reason why the degree of attention is so high reflects people’s sensitivity and anxiety about fraudulent donations, and also stems from the anger of many people that their feelings may be manipulated and consumed. However, the controversy itself just shows that in the era of mobile internet, there are fuzzy areas and gray spaces in the rules of fundraising. For example, how to supervise the funds obtained by individuals through rewards or direct help from social media? What is the responsibility of social media platforms? How to truly make the use of funds open and transparent? To put it bluntly, how to prevent scammers from catching a ride on Internet charity? In the "Luo Yixiao incident", the reward funds were finally returned by the original way. Although this is a way to calm the dispute, it is not the fundamental solution to the problem.
In addition, the information dissemination mode of social media provides powerful mobilization ability for help seekers, and its explosive power is amazing. Raul received more than one million reward funds in one day. This mobilization ability also provides the possibility for manipulating public emotions and consuming public feelings, and even plays the role of an amplifier.
Today, Luo Yixiao has left, which is undoubtedly a heartbreaking news. When we bid her farewell, we should try our best to let these disputes subside with her departure. At the same time, more importantly, the whole society should put aside disputes and reach a consensus on charity in the era of social media, so that the sun shines into the gray area and there are clear rules to navigate in the fuzzy space. Otherwise, the next "Luo Yixiao incident" may be hard to avoid. For the public, despite the controversy, the heart of kindness and compassion cannot be discounted. Charity rules can be discussed, but love can’t be doubted. Every dispute should be a process of accumulating consensus. Only in this way can the dispute be meaningful.
