The Red Cross is an international charity organization that represents the spirit of humanity, neutrality and volunteerism, and is also associated with relief and poverty.

And her tweetsVBut the credentials clearly read: "General Manager of Business, China Red Cross".

In the hearts of netizens, China Red Cross is very noble, and countless people donate to this charity organization every year. A20It's a bit unimaginable that a young girl can become the "business manager" of the Red Cross. Suspicious netizens began to search for Guo Meimei, and her Weibo account began to be flooded with questions and abuses. At first, Guo Meimei was very mad, responding to netizens that she wanted to buy Sina Weibo.

21last night10time48In her defense, Guo Mei Mei posted another tweet, revealing a shocking secret: "The......The company I work for has a partnership with the Red Cross, known as the Red Cross Chamber of Commerce, and we are responsible for signing advertising contracts with life insurance or medical equipment, etc., and placing advertisements on the Red Cross free medical buses that serve the general public, which may have been a misunderstanding caused by the abbreviation of the name......."

With the issuance of Guo Meimei's tweet, netizens' spearheads immediately changed direction and began to shift from "Guo Meimei" to "Red Cross".

In the face of the overwhelming rebuke from netizens.6moon22At noon on Sunday, the Red Cross issued a statement that it does not have a "Red Cross Chamber of Commerce" organization, nor does it have a "business manager" position, nor does it have a "Guo Meimei" person, and Sina has also apologized for the incorrect authentication of the real name. She also apologized to Sina for the mistake in her real name verification. Guo Mei Mei also made a "solemn statement" on her Weibo account that she has no relationship with the Red Cross.

However, netizens soon made a new discovery that the Red Cross Society of the Chinese Commercial System (commonly known as the "Commercial Red Cross") has been established for the first time.10The year of the Red Cross. The Internet exploded: I thought there was no Red Cross Chamber of Commerce, but why is there a commercial Red Cross? Three consecutive statements did not dispel the netizens' doubts about the Red Cross, but instead triggered even more frantic "human flesh searches" by the netizens.

An unrelenting search revealed that the Shenzhen-based Tenrio Group is a fund-raising organization for the Red Cross School Safety Campaign, which is related to life insurance. The group's public promotional material promises that it can do car body advertisements, which is close to what Guo Meimei said. Public information shows that as early as2008In 2007, the Red Chamber organized a number of auctions in conjunction with several companies in the SkyLogic Group.

With the netizens digging deeper, there are two related companies were exposed, respectively, Beijing Zhongmou Zhiguo advertising company, Beijing Wang Ding market consulting company. Netizens found that the two companies contact mailbox, but is the Red Chamber of Commerce Deputy Secretary Li Qingyi's cell phone number. In addition, when these two companies were founded, the legal representative was Wang Shumin, vice president of the Red Chamber of Commerce, and the current legal representative of Wang Ding is Wang Shumin's daughter, Wang Yanda, who is also the boss of Zhongmou Zhiguo.

A company called "China Red Cross" was also involved, and quickly became the center of a maelstrom of skepticism. The company, which claims to be an affiliate of the China Red Cross, will invest in the construction of "Red Cross" centers in communities in large and medium-sized cities across the country, and will also invest in the construction of "Red Cross" centers in the United States.3There are 10,000 "Red Cross Pok Oi Service Stations". Some people have checked the industrial and commercial information and found that one of the shareholders of "China Red Cross Pok Oi" is Wang Ding Company, which was established in2007annum2008The "Red Cross Pok Oi Service Station" program was launched in some communities in 2007. The service stations work with insurance companies to provide free first aid, free clinics and medical checkups for community residents, as well as life and property insurance counseling, and the shape of the "Boai Service Station" is that of a motorized van.

These details are highly similar to what Guo Meimei said about "life insurance," "medical devices," and "car advertisements.

  The "Guo Meimei Incident" is like a suspenseful TV drama, with exciting plots emerging and many mysteries still to be solved.

Netizens have made another shocking discovery: a staff member of the China Red Cross is running a business.7moon1On March 28, 2012, a netizen broke the news on Weibo, saying, "Zhang Winfang, the director of the China Red Cross General Association's Fundraising Box Office, is both the deputy director of the Red Cross World Expo Warmth Fund and the deputy secretary general of the Red Cross Communication Fund, and also, surprisingly, the general manager of a company called 『Heartbeat China Foundation Media』.

However, some media asked the China Red Cross to confirm this, but the Red Cross did not respond positively. At the same time, netizens were surprised to find that some web pages related to "Zhang Wenfang" were deleted one after another not long after this tweet came out.

7moon2Ltd. is the secretary-general of the Red Cross Communication Fund, but he even opened a company to sell gold, silver and antiques. The company's official website also claimed to be the "executive unit of the China Red Cross Communication Fund", which has undertaken many activities and ceremonies organized by the Red Cross.

When netizens queried that the associated company was "suspected of using the resources of the Red Cross to make a fortune", they said.7moon2In a sudden interview with a Guangzhou media outlet on March 28, 2012, Wang Shumin, the founder of Wang Ding, said that in projects such as Pok Oi Station and Pok Oi Window, the Red Cross and the Commercial Red Cross paid for policy resources, the investor paid for capital resources, and Wang Ding paid for wisdom resources. In his opinion, this "win-win model", in which all parties benefit, does not involve any money from the Red Cross and does not require any donations from the public. Wang Shumin cried out, "I am obviously a model worker, but I am regarded as a devil.

Wang Shumin's "cry of injustice" did not dispel the netizens' concerns, CCTV7moon2In an investigative program on Sunday, Guo Meimei questioned the existence of the pattern that Guo Meimei had described in her tweets. One wonders how Guo Meimei was able to make such a description if she had no contact with the program in question. Is this model suitable for use in the public welfare sector, and are there any risks and loopholes that create gray areas? Are there any loopholes in this model that may turn the label of charity into some people's huge personal assets?

Today, the "Guo Meimei Incident" continues to fester, which is a surprise to many in the media, as it is rare for an online story to last for more than half a month when it usually lasts for two or three days. Why has the "Guo Meimei Incident" lasted so long and attracted national attention?

"The traditional charitable organizations are too powerful and lack supervision." Guangdong Youth Cadre Management Institute Professor Tan Jianguang analysis, China's public welfare and charity foundations are many, the larger the main Red Cross, the General Association of Charities, Youth Foundation, Poverty Alleviation Foundation, Soong Ching Ling Foundation, Children's Foundation and other six, which is actually a second-tier government agencies, in accordance with the government's operational approach to the management and development of foundations, the power of the great, subject to less supervision. Over the years, people's participation in charitable causes has often been passive, passively doing good deeds in these charitable organizations, and when a "Guo Meimei Incident" occurred, people's internal grievances erupted.

The fact that the organization has a governmental background and has branches all over the country has made some companies willing to cooperate with the Red Cross. Tan Jianguang analysis, now "Guo Meimei incident" exposed, in fact, is the public welfare organizations involved in commercial projects, which is extremely inconsistent with the public welfare charity in everyone's mind, causing everyone's dissatisfaction, "Guo Meimei is just a trigger. Mr. Tam said, "Public welfare is public welfare, and it is separate from business. The Red Cross should be a purely public welfare organization, and if there are profit-making projects in the Red Cross system, they should be immediately separated from the Red Cross."

In his opinion, it would be inappropriate to receive a salary from the Red Cross and then start a company to make a profit, "This would be easily criticized as 'doing business in the name of public welfare'. However, he also said that some large corporations that donate a lot of money can take up certain positions in the Red Cross, but they are only volunteers and cannot receive any remuneration from the Red Cross, nor can they rely on the Red Cross for commercial gain, "This is a basic common sense.

Mr. Tam believes that the emergence of the "Guo Meimei Incident" is definitely a good thing if it is guided well: it will strengthen the public welfare attributes of public charities in the whole society and promote more people to donate money for good causes; and the government will actively solve the historical problems exposed in the incident to promote the healthy development of public welfare and charitable causes.

"I'm not in the mood to go to work until I find out who Guo Meimei is." "After the Guo Meimei incident, this phrase has become a catchphrase. Many authoritative media, including People's Daily and CCTV, called on the Red Cross to prove its innocence.

Nevertheless, the "Guo Meimei Incident" is still very foggy, and it will take some time for the truth to come out.
