Outrageous! China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was hit by Typhoon Mesa in July and caused floods. At least 159 people were killed and 10 people were missing there. Xiaohongshu internet celebrity "An Lan" posted a screenshot of a remittance donated to the Guangxi Red Cross Society of 1 million yuan (approximately NT$4.71 million). However, the agency confirmed that it was only 1 yuan (approximately NT$4.71).

According to Chinese media reports, after the floods in Guangxi, many Chinese netizens posted donations to prove their goodwill, but some people also tried to attract attention. Previously, Douyin user "Qiu Yebai" had falsely claimed to donate 100,000 yuan (approximately NT$471,000). Unexpectedly, Xiaohongshu Internet celebrity "An Lan" also stepped up the fraud.

As can be seen from the picture pinned to the top of the "An Lan" account, he remitted 1 million yuan to the Red Cross Society of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region at 6:48 pm on July 17. There was also a special seal for Bank of China electronic orders on it. His followers quickly increased to 31,000.

After receiving inquiries from the media, the staff of the Guangxi Red Cross confirmed that there was no such huge amount of money that day. According to the name, they found that the person remitted 1 yuan, but it did not match the account number posted by "An Lan". Therefore, it is still doubtful whether the 1 yuan was actually donated. Xiaohongshu has now banned "An Lan" and removed the relevant PO articles.
