11 апреля 2024 года, в 4:43, [ 1 ] Лю Цзе [ А ] , [ 2 ] 20-летний китайский мужской геймер, известный как " толстая кошка " [ B ] Забрал свою жизнь, прыгнув с моста в Ючхонге, Чунцин . После его самоубийства его бывшая девушка Тан столкнулся с неумолимым онлайн-реакцией в китайских социальных сетях и был обвинен в том, что он эксплуатировал его в финансовом отношении. В мае 2024 года китайские власти сообщили, что сестра Лю организовала эту мазку против его бывшей девушки, поделившись частной информацией и привлекая преследование против Тан. Позднее полицейские расследования показали, что у Лю и Тан были настоящие отношения со взаимными финансовыми обменами, и не было никаких доказательств эксплуатации. Сестра Лю в конце концов призналась в своих действиях и извинилась. Инцидент приобрел широко распространенные в СМИ дебаты о киберзапугивании и гендерной динамике в Китае. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
Background
[ редактировать ]Fat Cat was born in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, on 18 May 2003.[5] He worked as a gaming influencer for around 10 hours a day game boosting, or professionally playing video games for other people.[6] In November 2021,[5] Fat Cat met his girlfriend through the mobile game Honor of Kings.[6] He led a frugal personal life and financially supported his girlfriend.[6] Fat Cat contributed 70,000 yuan to help her open a shop.[7] In April 2024, Fat Cat traveled from Hunan to Chongqing to live with his girlfriend. She declined his offer to move in, and the relationship soon ended.[8] Fat Cat then transferred a large sum of money to her and jumped off a bridge in Chongqing.[7] His body was found 12 days later.[9] Following the incident, his former girlfriend was doxxed and harassed by many, sparking debates on marriage in China. She then returned a portion of the money to the family.[8] Fat Cat's body was cremated on 3 May 2024.[8][10]
Aftermath
[edit]After his death, Liu Jie's ex-girlfriend Tan was subjected to intense online harassment. Initially, Tan was blamed for Liu's death and accused of being a gold digger. Her personal information was leaked online, leading to severe harassment.[11] The leaked financial records appeared to have supported this narrative, sparking widespread online hatred, particularly among Chinese men.[11] Fat Cat's sister initially threatened to press charges against his former girlfriend.[12]
In a turn of events, Chongqing police revealed on 19 May 2024 that Liu's sister was behind the smear campaign against Tan.[13] Using the account "Keke Can't Sleep," she posted videos and financial records, claiming Tan extorted money from Liu.[14] However, a police investigation later revealed that this narrative was entirely fabricated. The police found that Liu's sister had fueled the online harassment by posting private information and paying to boost her online visibility. This led to severe harassment of Tan, including death threats. The case is said to have highlighted the dangers of misinformation and the ease with which public opinion and media can be manipulated.[15]
Police investigations also showed that Liu and Tan had a legitimate relationship, with mutual financial exchanges totaling over 1.26 million yuan. After Liu's death, Tan returned significant sums of money. Liu's family and Tan reached a reconciliation.[14]
Liu's sister admitted her wrongdoing,[16] apologized, and her accounts were banned on multiple platforms.[14] Liu’s sister and several influencers faced penalties for manipulating public opinion and infringing on Tan’s privacy. The case has sparked renewed debate about the impact of misinformation and gender dynamics in China.[11][16]
Reactions
[edit]In May 2024, many Chongqing residents began gathering at the bridge. They placed flowers, McDonald's meals, and bubble tea at the site, inspired by Fat Cat's profile picture that read, "I don't want vegetables, I want McDonald's."[17][18] Fat Cat's sister asked people not to have food delivered to the bridge because of growing traffic by Fat Cat's memorial.[3] People who had ordered takeout to be delivered to the memorial discovered that the packages and containers were empty or filled with water.[3][19] Five brands involved in the incident issued apologies. They announced punitive measures against offending locations and pledged to refund the orders."[20] One brand, ChaPanda also made, a donation to the Sichuan Youth Development Foundation in Fat Cat's name.[21] McDonald's Vietnam attempted to use a slogan that referenced the suicide. Vietnamese customers called for a boycott, and McDonald's Vietnam issued an apology online.[17][22]
Many netizens have compared the suicide of Fat Cat with that of Su Xiangmao.[5]
China Women's News noted the need for rationality and legal adherence in public discourse, condemning the spread of rumors and online violence.[23] Chinese state media outlet, Chongqing Daily, opined on the saga, stating that it was an ordinary romantic relationship, manipulated by behind-the-scenes 'directors,' that evolved into large-scale online bullying infringing on privacy.[24]
