Internet Celebrity's Chinese Livestream Shockingly Receives 'Million Donation' with Uncovered Truth

Internet celebrity Chen Zhihan, known as "Guanchang", recently traveled to China for a six-day livestreaming event where he showcased local life while interacting with fans. Unexpectedly, a donation message for "1000000" appeared in the livestream chat, leaving many viewers astonished, believing someone had generously donated a million Taiwan dollars to support him. However, the truth was uncovered that the amount was actually in Indonesian rupiah, amounting to roughly 1800 Taiwan dollars, which turned what was initially seen as a grand gesture into a source of amusement for many netizens.
The incident first emerged on PTT's gossip board, where a user shared a screenshot of Guanchang's livestream displaying the "1000000" figure alongside a message of support. Initially, viewers assumed a significant money transfer had occurred. Yet, informed comments quickly clarified that it was a mislabeling of currency, leading to a wave of laughter among viewers, with some quipping that the plot twist was more entertaining than a movie.Adding to the humor, the so-called "million donation" sponsor appeared in the comments, claiming to be in Jakarta and expressing significant support for Guanchang, pointing out that there are many ethnic Chinese in Indonesia, thus it is normal to support him. Besides this misunderstanding, during the livestream, a fan also truly donated 299.99 USD, approximately 9000 Taiwan dollars, thanking him for his efforts towards cross-strait peace, earning him respect as a 'real man' among many viewers.
Guanchang’s trip to China was not only popular because of the donor story, but the dinner with celebrity Wang Xiaofei that attracted over 400,000 simultaneous viewers as well. This buzz even caught the attention of political figures, including Taiwanese legislators Fu Kun-chi and Hsu Chiao-hsin, who participated in the donation comments with rhetoric about peace and leaving a mark in history, prompting speculation regarding whether these messages genuinely belonged to them. Although Guanchang's changing rhetoric has sparked controversy in the past, this moment of him livestreaming in China maintained significant attention, praising the convenience of local life, the clean airport, and receiving both an Indonesian "million" donation and political support, characterized his entire journey.
