Lamu is from China’s Sichuan province. She posts videos on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok and gained enough popularity for posting about her daily routine in rural life and also lip-syncing to songs she liked. The video blogger was reportedly attacked on September 14, 2020, following which she was rushed to a local hospital and later transferred to Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital for further treatment. The video blogger sustained burns on 90 percent of her body and was left fighting for her life for more than two weeks before tragically dying.

Her sister, Zhuoma, posted about the horrific incident two days after the attack. Her case has triggered conversations on social media over violence against women in China. Zhuoma made a desperate plea for financial help and begged the public to help save her sister. Good Samaritans reportedly donated around one million yuan to the family. Lamu succumbed to the burn injuries on September 30 after the treatment failed.
Police have reportedly detained Lamu’s ex-husband, Tang, but his motives remain unclear. Some reports suggest that the suspect was seeking revenge because she had initiated the divorce due to domestic violence. The couple had two young sons. Further investigation on the matter is on.
