Integrity

Jin Zhenglin, an Anhui student diagnosed with leukemia six years ago, achieved academic success despite adversity, scoring 647 on the Gaokao and gaining admission to Hunan University. His family, having received 580,000+ yuan via crowdfunding for his treatment, repaid all 28,689 donors, citing gratitude and duty. This act of integrity resonated deeply, highlighting the importance of ethical practices in China’s crowdfunding landscape, which, while crucial for healthcare support, faces scrutiny. Jin is now in remission and thriving at university.
