According to Chinese media such as Dahe Daily, Tong Yao (27), famous for being a beauty beauty influencer living in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, was seriously burned in a gas explosion on the night of March 31. At the time, she was working on editing videos for social media in her room.
The explosion was reportedly caused by her father trying to smoke while gas leaked into the house.
As for the situation at the time, Tongyao said "Suddenly, with a loud explosion, the fire spread in the house in an instant and filled with smoke."
The accident left Tongyao with severe burns to her face and whole body, and burned most of her hair.
Tongyao's parents are also being treated for serious injuries.
Her father underwent a skin transplant for severe burns all over his body, and is now being transferred to a general ward. Her mother is currently being treated in the intensive care unit.
In a recently released video, Tongyao said the family's medical expenses amounted to about 500,000 yuan (about 95 million won).
She asked her followers for help, saying "The whole family is injured, and all that's left is medical expenses with no end in sight."
Due to the severity of the injury, she explained, she is no longer able to work, and at the moment, recording the family's recovery process is the only activity.
When the news broke, some fans questioned her fundraising activities and raised suspicions that she was trying to make money out of sympathy.
In response, Tongyao posted an explanatory video himself, emphasizing that both the photos and videos were from real experiences and were not manipulated.
She says "Some people suspect I'm acting, but I'm burned head to toe."Would I have needed to make it up in this situation?"
Police are currently investigating the cause of the explosion and the details of the accident.
