The vast majority of netizens who resonated and supported her did not necessarily agree with her methods and ideas for solving the problem.

"Better to be a mistress than marry a poor man" - this was the title of the post by the netizen "I am a country girl." This post, published on the miscellaneous talk section of a website on the afternoon of September 6, quickly became popular in forums and was wildly reposted on major forums such as Sohu. As of 8 p.m. last night, it had garnered over 700,000 clicks and more than 2,700 replies. Surprisingly, over 4,100 people chose to support the post (by upvoting), while only about 740 opposed it (by downvoting). With a sense of helplessness, and even some despair, she recounted her growth, struggles, and the battles she fought along the way.
