UP's main illness, Internet violence continues
China Youth Daily·China Youth Daily reporter Yang Jie
Zhao Shangshang likes to sing and exercise, and is very accurate in shooting.
She has studied in the United States for a few years and will start to make money in another year.
24 years old, Zhao Shangshang was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
She uses the pseudonym "Kafka Muffin King" to make vlogs on station B and Weibo.
In the first episode, she spoke to the camera for 5 minutes, telling everyone the reason for the video and the diagnosis process in a gentle and flat manner. The full screen of "Come on" and "cute" barrage covered her young face.
Soon, she became popular at station B.
Only one month later, the barrage that praised her was covered by another layer-"RIP" (rest in peace) cursing her to die, the "code of wealth", "Medical Miracle" that satirized her, and "I wish you an early victory over the disease" .

The cause is "small belly".
In August 2019, Zhao Shangshang was at school. He started coughing and coughed "blood from one hand" between classes.
When she was diagnosed, the American doctor told her that the cancer cells had spread to the liver and bones, and she could live for 5 to 10 years under optimistic conditions.
Zhao Shangshang said in the video that the only time she cried since her illness was when she was diagnosed. "Miss White Nurse" took the result and rushed to hug her. She cried so hard that she also shed tears.
"She didn't think that her condition was so serious. Maybe there will be new drugs in the future. This disease is nothing." Zhao Shangshang's uncle Yi Limin said that she was optimistic by nature.
In 2019, she spent the new year in a hospital in the United States.
That year, she got her first formal internship. She won the Dean’s Award in her senior year. She graduated with honors and received a postgraduate admission letter. She entered the school in mid-July and was diagnosed with advanced cancer at the end of August. A video was supported by domestic talk show actors and watched 1 million.
"I'm just an ordinary girl. The little brother I like doesn't like me, so I will cry." Netizens can feel her free and easy and cute. Liu Yiming gave her "one-click three-link" in every video, like , Collection, coin (virtual coin).
Liu Yiming was born in 2002 and was a freshman in China University of Geosciences.
He told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily: "She always brings us a bright and sunny smile. The first impression of everyone is that it is a pity that we got this disease at such a young age."
“The full screen of barrage and comments are cheering me on, it’s really spectacular.” “The private messages on Weibo and Station B were blown up and I couldn’t finish it.” Zhao Shangshang said in an interview with the self-media “Story FM” , She worked out in the morning and read private messages in the afternoon. She didn't finish reading it for a week.
In private messages, there are people who need contact information, and if you don’t give it, you will jump off the building; a girl said that she wanted to find a short sight and watched her video to refresh herself; and the elders in the family had the same illness as her, so watch her video to cheer up.
"I feel that I am not as good as everyone said from beginning to end. Whether it is the evaluation of my appearance or the praise of my spiritual level, I am ashamed." Zhao Shangshang said. .
After consulting the doctor, she still maintains the habit of fitness.
On February 3, 2020, she finished exercising and posted a full-body selfie on Weibo.
Among the influx of encouragement and praise comments, there was such a message: "Muffin seems to have a small belly."
"I was in a very good mood, when I suddenly saw such a comment, I instantly felt like a scoop of cold water poured on my head." Zhao Shangshang told "Story FM".
That night, she deliberately made a video for this comment, as if it was a temporary awakening. The camera was facing the foot of the bed, the light was very dim, and she did not show her face at all. Her tone was never polite:
"I really feel that girls, whether they treat themselves as awl faces or plastic surgery, are pressured by such people to do it. I think this society really has too many appearances and appearances for girls. You don’t like it when you send a photo. You don’t like it, right? You have to scold it, as if you have a sense of nobility, right? You think I can be a pick, not bad. You can. You have abdominal muscles. Take out the eight-pack abs. I'm not angry, I think this kind of person is really in the circle of friends. You post a photo and say that you are fat. No P is good , The line is crooked, the existence of this kind of person is very annoying! If no one has scolded you, I will scold you today, you are really the type of boy I hate. I hate you so much, I want to post a video Come scold you! That's it."

In October 2019, Zhao Shangshang’s lung tumor has shrunk from 5 cm to 3.2 cm, and the liver tumor has been reduced from 4.2 cm to 0.9 cm.
Later, she was lucky enough to get a targeted drug, and the medical expenses were borne by the local insurance. There is no need to worry, everything is going in a good direction.
But the opposite is true in the Internet world.
Someone replied under the small belly incident video: "It feels completely different from your first video, like the mouth-mouthing mother-in-law in a TV series." She did not show weakness: "Even my mother said that I have a bad temper. Don't treat me. What kind of false fantasies such as gentleness." "The sentence I have a small belly is not a vicious word, or even a fact. But I chose to send it out. There is no P picture. Do you use it."
She used to go to school in low-latitude Florida, insisting on playing umbrellas, ignoring the ridicule of her classmates, and holding the attitude of "I won't marry you in the end anyway, I care what you think of me".
Soon, she made another video, the title was "The Internet Trash Is Good or Not?"
Some netizens commented: "Sister, let’s take good care of the disease. Don’t block the people who don’t lick you at station B. They vomit blood and are not hospitalized? You have such a weird temper, and you really regard yourself as a small official. It’s okay to be a small official at home. It’s weird that you can only praise you and agree with you if you don’t let others say anything else on the Internet."
This time, "Kafka Muffin Mr." was ready to say what he had to say, facing the camera, he replied: "Cursing man to be hospitalized, how do you have parents born or taught? Yes, my parents are willing to spoil me as a little princess. ……I am highly worthy and worthy of being an immortal. I know you apologized, but what is the use of an apology? You are also 19 years old and an adult. Adults need to be responsible for what they say. If they say something, they must be wrong. Prepare to be forgiven." She hung up the comment without coding, "I don't think that a person attacked me. I have to help him with cover to prevent everyone from knowing who he is."
Fans of "Kafka Muffin Monarch" quickly captured the Weibo of the person who had been linked, and their names, schools, photos, etc. were revealed, forcing them to delete their accounts.
Zhao Shangshang once explained on Weibo that he didn't care about small belly, "It's just that when the risk of being hung up is known to more people, will you be a little bit brainy when you talk, and keep a little kindness."
During that time, Zhao Shangshang's fans soared, and a large number of station B users discovered her.
Next comes the reversal.
A boy who was a freshman in Jiaxing heard about her from a friend he knew on the Internet, and went to the comment area to scold her in a team, "Because a netizen incited a fan to violent a passerby with just one or two words, I think it's a small-minded one." Her accusation gradually extended to making money with cancer and falsifying medical records. In the vlog, Zhao Shangshang ran iron and did not lose his hair. "In the stereotype, this terminally ill patient should not be able to jump around like this." "I feel like a shameful piece. Matter, use your own terminal illness to make money".
"People who can think independently should be angry at her behavior." The freshman said to a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily.
He also joined a QQ group opposed to "Kafka Muffin Mr." with netizens. At least 145 people were online. They PS her posthumous photos and nude photos, her school, home address and other information. The group name is "Happy go forward".
Her video was also used to spoof, she became a stalk of station B.
Another college student studying in Shandong's first impression of her was "a patient with bad money", and he made some insulting remarks.
"My five-year station B account was lost by those fans." He told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily.
Someone sent a private message to station B on Zhao Shang, with a full screen of "Isn't dead yet?"
Overnight, Zhao Shangshang went from the optimistic UP master of anti-cancer to the villain of cyber violent passers-by.
Lü Pin feels that "Kafka Muffin Mr."'s popularity has turned sharply because of his own video.
One early morning in March 2020, he wandered online and clicked on the vlog of "Kafka Muffin Mr.", "Understanding the whole process".
"We sympathize with you as a disadvantaged group, but we also cannot tolerate your connivance of online violence by your fans, with a self-righteous and hard-talking attitude. People say that she has a small belly, and she hangs others up when she is upset, and she still needs to be confident to tell Everyone, "I can't accept it, so I let everyone scold him." Then I can't accept such behaviors of hanging people and online violence. Can I ask all the netizens who are uncomfortable to scold her together?"
Soon, he wrote a script and produced a video, saying that "Kafka Muffin Master" is a "wealth code" (referring to earning money from terminal illness), "Medical Miracle" (you can also exercise iron in the late stage), and Reincarnation" (resurrection of the dead).
Some people say that Zhao Shangshang did not directly participate in online violence against others, while Lu Pin thinks that “it’s also common for fans to pay the bills for their actions, not to mention that she still encourages fans to focus on attacking others”.
Lu Pin is a high school student in Shaanxi. He is about to take the college entrance examination and dreams of entering Sichuan University.
He told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily, "Kafka Muffin has broken away from the masses of the people and has gone a bad way."
Liu Yiming, who supports "Kafka Muffin Monarch", defended her. People who are sick may have a distorted psychology. You can criticize her for hanging netizens, but sending a RIP (rest in peace) is too much.
"We are all strangers, who would hope for death?" He posted a comment: "If it is true, I hope it is false; if it is false, I still hope it is false." Many people scolded He is a "filial son".
There are other versions of this sentence: "If it is true, I hope it is false; if it is false, I hope it is true." "If it is true, I hope it is false; if it is false, your whole family Both."

On February 28, 2020, Zhao Shangshang posted his medical records, “He has been living in the hospital for these two days and received a large number of organized attacks inexplicably. Have you ever thought about the possibility of harm to others by your actions when you prided yourself on justice?”
At the end of January 2020, she came to China to visit relatives and took a photo before returning to the United States. Uncle Yi Limin had already seen that her face was not good.
When she first arrived in the United States, she almost entered the ICU, with two indwelling needles in her left and right hands, a catheter was also inserted, and her heart rate and blood pressure were unstable.
The doctor extracted 600 ml of effusion from her right chest cavity, and another 900 ml at night, "a big Coke bottle, take a bottle," Yi Limin told China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily reporter.
On the bedside of Zhao Shang, there is a machine that can control painkillers by herself. She laughed and said, "It's really a painful life with one click."
At this moment, she opened her account, and she cried for an hour under the siege of her illness and bad reviews.
In March, she said to her fans: "Although I said that I can repay my virtues with morals, but I still ask all my fans and friends not to go to human flesh and those who hurt me. They will eventually get retribution for hurting me, but I don't want to be The perpetrator doesn't want you to be that kind of person." But this will not quell the war.
After drying the medical records, she made a special video, inviting her doctor to prove her condition, but many people still don’t believe it, "Fake it, the medical record doesn’t even have an official seal" "Too many hand movements, obviously lying"" The acting is not qualified".
A graduate student from a school sent an e-mail to the hospital, asking if there was such a doctor, "then the reply was that there was no such stuff (employee)".
Later he learned that "the official contacted does not seem to have a list of doctors."
After Lu Pin posted the video, the situation soon became out of control.
He stopped other people’s information on Renrou Zhao, and reported it when he saw it, “I hate to raise personal behavior to the family, maybe someone really dares to trouble her offline. Involving other people’s family is bad behavior, and compared to the Internet The violence has become very serious and may affect social reality."
He made a distinction between reality and the online world. He started writing online articles from the second grade, science fiction, fantasy, city, magic and fantasy, "What is the sense of accomplishment in that online thing, it will not add to my resume."
When asked if there is such a person as "Kafka Muffin" in life, Lu Pin's answer is "really no, the sense of superiority is too strong, it cannot be imitated by ordinary people".
If she encounters Zhao Shangshang in reality, Lu Pin said, "She will definitely not pay attention to me. A high school student suddenly appeared in front of her. Although I really want her to apologize publicly, she will only treat me as a neurosis."
Lu Pin said that friends are friends and strangers are strangers, not to mention that these people are netizens. "She may not care about the attitude of netizens at all."
Someone said on Douban that when she went to Zhao Shang's home to stay overnight in the summer, she woke up in the early morning with a scream, crying and shouting "Why are you doing this to me".
She said in a vlog: "I have never asked everyone to raise money for me. Why do you call me bad money? Why do you still have so many excuses and reasons after I was forced to show my medical records? Say this is fake? Why do you hurt others like this? Do you know how painful it is for me to lie in bed while you are doing these things?"
Zhao Shangshang’s uncle, Yi Limin, is a legal worker. He received several requests from his niece in March 2020. “These people organized personal attacks. Can you sue them.” Yi Limin was born in the 1960s. He has never used station B. He said that some people on the Internet just have nothing to do after eating and worry about it.
From a legal perspective, he feels that he cannot sue, and the punishment for infringement of reputation rights is not strong, and the cost of doing evil is very low.
Insults and defamation are generally crimes of personal indictment, and the characteristic of the crime of personal indictment is that it is difficult for the victim to obtain relevant evidence.
Therefore, the 2015 Criminal Law Amendment Nine stipulates that if it is online insults and online defamation, the court can request the public security organs to provide clues, and the public security organs will collect evidence.
However, due to the virtuality and anonymity of the Internet, evidence may be deleted or tampered with at any time, and it is still not easy to collect.

On August 1, 2020, Zhao Shangshang updated the last video, recording the moment when she ran 100 kilometers in two months. She ran well and was happy, and shouted "OK, card!" to the camera.
On December 11, 2020, Zhao Shangshang passed away in the United States. He was surrounded by his mother and several classmates.
The day before leaving, when Yi Limin received a call from his sister, Zhao Shangshang could no longer utter the word "uncle".
Earlier, the doctor asked her if she wanted to be rescued when she was in a coma. She said, "Just don't make me hurt, don't rescue."
People glimpsed footage of her illness from her Weibo: "I tried my best to describe my pain as not so tragic and sad. Probably, someone had a local steel plate on your back. Then someone was random during the day. Take time to disassemble the steel plate. Play with you like an Astro Boy with an iron arm." "Every time you do a biopsy, it feels like a good box of ice cream, being stabbed in and digging a spoonful."
Her last Weibo was posted 3 days before her death: “A lot of things are not on her turn, so she can stand by and yell at him.” That night, her condition deteriorated, and the doctors ran through the night. Enter the ward and tell the family to be mentally prepared.
Her Weibo has been visible for half a year, and the marks left on it are disappearing day by day.
She once said, "I really want to pass away someday, I must charge it as a member of Weibo for a hundred years before leaving, and put the ID of these people and all the content they said on Weibo as an epitaph. Ming, then use all of the legacy to buy all platform hots."
B stood by and issued a statement after her death, “We learned that the owner of UP's "Kafka Muffin" died of cancer in a Boston hospital in the United States at the age of 25... We will obtain confirmation and consent from his immediate family members. It is listed as a'commemorative account' to protect it..." The barrage that scolded her and the video made by Lu Pin disappeared together.
After the death of Zhao Shangshang, a netizen left a message to someone who had attacked her, "I really have passed away, do you have anything to say?" He told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily. Part of the answer is silence, followed by a perfunctory apology, and some people say it doesn't matter, and some people continue to attack her.
A netizen wrote "RIP" (rest in peace) when she was alive; she wrote "RIP" again after she died.
After Lu Pin left on Zhao Shangshang, he became the target of a new round of cyber violence. "Her fans came to turn over the old accounts, and more people who didn't know the real situation poured in, thinking I was the culprit for bullying cancer patients."
Scrolling down the private messages of station B, they all scolded him, "passers-by just want to scold me to show their sense of justice."
In an interview with "Story FM", Zhao Shangshang said, "I treated all the slightly less friendly comments as attacks. I guessed others from the most vicious angle. This is where I did the worst. "She said that she contacted one of the netizens who had been involved in online violence, and she sincerely apologized and was forgiven by the other party.
The other party was even surprised to be able to cause such large-scale online violence against her.
Some people have studied the speeches of young groups on the Internet and found that some young people are always eager to criticize, simplifying complex social events into the opposition between the weak and the strong, and between good and evil.
At the end of the interview, Zhao Shangshang said, “After experiencing so much, I still don’t want to code those malicious people. It’s my consistent attitude to oppose the bad reviews.” But in the comment area, she Correct immediately. "Now I still realize that because I have a lot of followers, I have a voice on the Internet that is not fair to the average netizen. The code is still to be typed."
Lu Pin said that cyber violence is mutual, "I am not afraid, nor am I wrong, am I not?"
One of his idols is Joan of Arc, because she has no stains in her life, "even the enemy praises her after death."
Before the online violence, Zhao Shangshang once said calmly in a video: “The Internet does exist for everyone. In general, my Weibo is like a small place near the fireplace in a room. It’s crackling, sparks are jumping, everyone gathers together, holding hot cocoa, there is hope for everything, and hope for the future."
Later, her emotion became: "The Internet can't truly empathize. Face-to-face conversations can cause misunderstandings, and you can understand how to say it through a network cable and a screen."
