Li Jie, a mother born in 1999, and her husband Yang Wei spent their savings and took on a mortgage of more than 600,000 yuan to buy a 120-square-meter off-plan house in Haiyan City, fully expecting their children to move into their new home after they go to school.
It was promised that the house would be delivered in two years, but five years later, only half of the house was built. The developer disappeared and more than 900 owners lost their hard-earned money.
With no other choice, Li Jie started to post videos online asking for help, but no one watched her several times.
Until she listened to the advice and changed her clothes to appear on the scene, the video suddenly went viral, with millions of views.
But not all the traffic brought by it was a good thing. Netizens gradually forgot about the unfinished building and began to attack her clothes. Some people scolded her for attracting attention, and some maliciously photoshopped her photos.
Relevant departments are now involved in the investigation, but the news has not been confirmed yet.
Later, Li Jie relied on her personal connections and the developer was under pressure, and the unfinished building gradually began to resume work.
