This incident quickly became a hot topic in the same city.

I watched a video from the perspective of a passerby's mother. She spread a worn-out blanket on the ground, and her sick daughter lay on it.

She didn't kneel on the blanket but knelt on the cold cement floor.

The daughter was just over a year old, crying.

When the child cried loudly, she would pick her up and soothe her until she stopped crying.

She continued to kowtow towards the west. Slowly, her forehead swelled, cracked, and bled.

The onlookers went from confusion to persuasion.

The mother struggled and pushed.

"I beg you, don't stop me. Someone said if I kowtow 5000 times, they will donate money for my daughter. That's my daughter's life-saving money."

"There's no need for this. Get up first, we'll help you with any difficulties."

"My daughter is sick and needs a lot of money. I beg you, let me kowtow. Don't talk, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. If I kowtow one less person, they won't give money."

A kind aunt picked up the child, wiping tears and said, "You kowtow, I'll help hold the child. The ground is cold, the child can't bear it."

The onlookers changed in batches, but the mother, like a machine without pain, continued kowtowing.

Crying, she devoutly kowtowed towards the west, from the high noon sun to the setting sun, finally completing 5000 kowtows.

The setting sun cast her shadow long, perhaps because it pitied the mother, unwilling to go down.

After watching this video, my heart suddenly clenched.

But I really have no money.

After this incident went viral, my comment section and backend exploded.

【She kowtowed, quickly give money!】

【Are you even human? If you don't believe, you don't have to donate. Why torture people like this.】

【Now that it's proven true, where's your money?】

【People like this should go to hell, even giving money should go to hell.】

【Should I report this kind of thing to the police?】

I looked at the comments, anger rising in my heart.

【What? Am I bragging too much? Do I have to give money if I say so?】

【Why don't you call the police, let them arrest me, is it illegal to brag?】

【Anyway, I have no money, no matter what, I have no money, why don't you just sell me.】

【Who knew this woman was so foolish? Whatever I say, she believes.】

My rebuttal comments were quickly drowned in the spit of the crowd, they kept insulting me and threatening me through private messages.

I couldn't block them all.

I could only angrily exit the app and turn off my phone.

At this moment, a strange number called me.

I thought it was some enthusiastic netizen who had leaked my number, prepared some words, ready to confront them.

"Xiaochang, it's your Uncle Liu. Come back for a visit. Your dad... he's gone, he committed suicide."
