SHUIDICHOU, a crowdfunding company that focuses on donations for low-income patients seeking medical treatment, reportedly sends its representatives to hospital wards to persuade the in-patients to install its app and rally donations by sharing their tragic experiences via WeChat. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:
The company's deeds have aroused deep criticism online, yet its business model is in accordance with charity principles.
Charities need professional staff to persuade people to donate money, and they need to communicate their good deeds to society.
