share time: 2025-10-10 04:30:56

Lin Xiaoman, a recent graduate working the night shift at a convenience store, saw an elderly man living alone fall in the rain. She volunteered to take him to the hospital and even paid his medical bills. Unexpectedly, the old man's distant nephew showed up, accusing her of "knocking him down" and demanding 200,000 yuan in compensation. Worse, a passerby's video of "a kind girl helping an old man" was edited—key footage removed—and went viral with the headline "Woman Pretends to Be Kind After Hitting Someone." Xiaoman instantly became a target of online abuse, labeled a "hypocrite." The convenience store was surrounded by angry netizens, and she even had to wear a mask to avoid insults when going out. Just as she was crying and deleting her social media accounts, the old man suddenly regained consciousness, grabbing her hand: "I fell by myself—my nephew is here to cheat my house!" Then the person who took the video came to her door with the full footage—turns out she's the old man's granddaughter, who had been secretly collecting evidence of the nephew's fraud. But when the hot search reversed and netizens apologized, Xiaoman stared at her red, swollen eyes in the mirror and wondered: "Next time someone falls, will I dare to help?"
