A live broadcaster of BiliBili, a Chinese audio-visual platform, passed away due to illness. After the news broke, many netizens shed tears. His parents ran away in order to avoid debts, leaving him alone in high school to fend for himself. He met a black heart company while working and had a tumor in his nose. Diabetes was discovered when he saved money and died at home because of no money to treat the disease. The message left before his death was “I really want to eat strawberries.” But because it was too expensive to buy, many netizens were so sad that they flocked to his live broadcast room to mourn.

According to “Upstream News”, the live broadcaster is named “Mocha Official.” A person familiar with the matter broke the news that the live broadcaster’s grandmother fell ill and the family became poor due to illness. The house left to him was robbed by his father, and he came across a black heart company after working to earn money. What made it worse was that he had a tumor on his nose. After the removal, he was found to be suffering from diabetes, but he had no money for treatment. Due to his serious illness, he has no way of doing physical work to make money. He can only rely on netizens to fund his equipment to become a game broadcaster.

The sad thing is that almost no one watched the “Ink Tea Official” video. After working hard for more than three months, he posted an article with emotion, “Unexpectedly, there are already a hundred fans. This is a good start.” There were only over a hundred viewers. It was not until his death from ketoacidosis that tens of thousands of netizens poured into the live broadcast platform to mourn. Now the number of fans has exceeded 356,000.
The live broadcaster’s post before his death made many people feel sore. The content included “I always want to eat strawberries. I have been tortured by the disease recently, what to eat and vomit, and then I especially want to eat strawberries… It’s a pity that strawberries are too expensive.” It’s sighing to lie on the hospital bed.” “I’ve been eating dumplings all the time, but I’ve never eaten dumplings during the winter solstice since I was a child. It’s the first time I knew there was such a custom.” It was also full of helplessness from illness and pain.

Sad, how did you pass these days”. BiliBili officials also issued an announcement stating that they will urgently investigate the specific situation of the “Ink Tea Official”.

It is really hard not being emotional after seeing this news. How can I face the fact that MoCha only has the only hundreds of fans and being hurl abused by lots of people on Weibo, Zhihu, Tieba and Bilibili.
