A sense of sympathy

This week, there was a topic which has been gettingĀ lots of attentionĀ and has even collectedĀ a pretty penny.
The story of this essay isĀ about one family whoseĀ dad isĀ a writer andĀ whoseĀ daughter hasĀ got leukemia. (ēŽ°åœØę˜Æčæ˜ę˜Æčæ‡åŽ»å¼ļ¼Ÿč¦é€‰ę‹©ļ¼)
He was said toĀ have used a lot of money for his daughter, but she didnā€™t get better. (Who is “they”?)

She also stayed in the hospital and continued spending money like flowing water. (She spent money in the hospital?)

So he wanted to sellĀ anĀ essay about his daughter on Wechat. (Wechat is not about his daughter)

Lately, a large group of netizens shared with this essay and donated to this family. At that time, there wasĀ another difference voice about them (who? the netizens?), claimingthe fact is that this family had 3 houses and that the moneyĀ his (who?) daughter spentĀ in hospital was not as high as he had said in his essay.

So it turned out they wereĀ not so poor and netizens neednā€™t donate to them. This is a big issue: should we believe this kind of things or notļ¼Ÿ
