While the nun's parents supported her decision to give away her wealth, her daughter, however, didn't understand her decision, the woman said.
A Chinese nun is facing backlash online for donating a fortune to charity even though her daughter struggled to pay her university fees.
According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), social media criticism erupted after a vlogger interviewed the Buddhist nun on a Shanghai street and posted it on the Chinese video platform Juliu Video. In the clip, the woman revealed that she converted to Buddhism in 2019 and donated all her money and possessions, leaving nothing to her parents or daughter.
The nun received 5.88 million yuan ($822,000) from the sale of her house, which she also gave to charity. While her parents supported her decision, the woman said that her daughter didn't understand her decision.
"After becoming a nun, I sold my house and donated all the money, without leaving a cent to either my parents or my daughter. My parents generally look at things from the bright side. They said it is your money. It's your own business how to spend it. However, my daughter doesn't understand my decision," she reportedly said in the video.
