Chen Yi, a junior with Southwest
University in Chongqing whose online appeal for donation to save her ill
mother created a stir in the cyberspace because she volunteered to "sell"
herself to the donor, signs a document to forward the donations
left to a foundation for leukaemia children November 5, 2005. On September
16, Chen posted the appeal at a website community, saying he would like to
work for anyone who donates to save her seriously ill mother. Many people
donated, and an even bigger group of netizens suspected that it could be a
fraud, causing a cyberspace debate. Chen received about 100,000 yuan in
donations, and used about 40,000 yuan on her ill mom before she died
October 22. Chen decided to forward the amount not yet used to
the foundation to help more people in need. [Chongqing
