From a beautiful and well-known online figure in China, a young woman surnamed Wu has reportedly turned into a “madwoman” with broken legs wandering the streets of Cambodia. She is believed to have been deceived and sold into Cambodia by her boyfriend, a case that has shocked the public and ignited widespread discussion online.
A series of photos recently circulated widely on Chinese social media showing a frail, disheveled woman on the streets of Cambodia. Both of her legs appeared to be broken, and she was seen holding a CT scan image in her hands. The woman was later identified as Wu, a native of Fujian Province, China, who had tens of thousands of followers as a social media influencer on short-video platforms. In just over 20 days, she reportedly went from a glamorous KOL to an aged, mentally unstable woman.
Leaked videos show Wu sitting by the roadside in a depressed state, her face smeared with dirt, hair tangled, and legs covered in dark bruises that appear consistent with fractures. Holding an X-ray film, she looked helpless and pitiful. Notably, Wu’s last social media post was dated December 6, 2025, with the location tagged as Cambodia.
In an interview with the media, Wu’s father said his daughter left home during middle school and later lied to her family, claiming she was working in Zhejiang Province. During that period, she repeatedly asked her parents for living expenses, receiving a total of more than 80,000 yuan. The family stopped providing financial support in November 2025. By late December, they were informed that Wu was stranded abroad and realized she was no longer in China.
On December 26, 2025, Wu suddenly contacted her father for help, saying she had suffered serious leg injuries and urgently needed money for treatment. After the family transferred 2,200 yuan, they completely lost contact with her. Soon after, a relative recognized Wu in a video showing a severely distressed woman on the streets and immediately reported the case to the police, prompting an investigation.
According to multiple sources, Wu was lured to Cambodia by her boyfriend, who claimed it would be easy to make money there. In reality, she allegedly fell into a job scam. Reports suggest she was later found by another Chinese national and taken to a local immigration office for medical treatment.
Wu’s family has since managed to make contact and is waiting to bring her back to China. Her father said tearfully, “I only hope my daughter can be safe and healthy and return home as soon as possible.” Chinese netizens are closely following the case, along with developments involving assistance from the Chinese embassy.
The incident has once again drawn attention to the issue of so-called “high-paying job traps in Southeast Asia,” where many young women are deceived by online recruitment ads, lured into illegal work, and ultimately face devastating consequences.
