mr. zhang said that some online rumors about yiqing being kidnapped and defrauded in the local "park" were all false. it was these online bullying comments that made her very anxious. "she cried every night during the live broadcast these days."

yaoyao, a friend of yiqing, told jimu news that she and yiqing had been together for more than a year, and yiqing took special care of her when they were in cambodia. yaoyao said that yiqing was under a lot of pressure and had become depressed because of the negative comments about her on the internet.

mr. zhang called on netizens to stop online violence. he said that no matter what business the chinese in cambodia are in, as long as they show their faces on social platforms, even if they are doing good deeds, posting a video can attract all kinds of unwarranted accusations and rumors from "anti-fans". mr. zhang said that there are many hard-working chinese in cambodia, and he does not want people to be afraid of "cambodia".
