On May 17, Wenchang police found that an Internet user published an online article on an APP titled "The girl helped up the fallen old man, but the old man's son broke the bone", which aroused public concern.

At present, Zhou Moumou has been sentenced to administrative detention by the police according to law for disturbing public order due to fabricated facts.
