The posts blow up as he is very active in the local Chinese community, he is also a leader of a NPO for new immigrants. Many people support the women and admire their courage , some were questioning their intention and state that he did"more good than harm" as a member of the society. It trigger a big debate online and some people call it " Chinese Me too".

At the end, I want to let you know that the devil may just be around us, protect the people around you and protect yourself well. If something wrong happen, always speak up, because it is the only way people can help you and together we can fight the devil, doesn't matter how powerful and strong it may seems. They are afraid of the light more than we do. |
