A Chinese journalist allegedly tried to kill herself after she received an onslaught of criticism from Chinese nationals for an emotional reportage on the killing of Shinzo Abe.
The journalist, Zeng Ying, was brutally trolled by Chinese netizens for sobbing while reporting live on Shinzo Abe’s assassination earlier this month.
Many Chinese netizens thought Ying showing emotions on her live stream for Shanghai’s online media outlet The Paper was “unprofessional” and “unpatriotic”, according to a report by the Independent.
She was criticized for not considering the stance of the Chinese people regarding Abe’s controversial political legacy.
