Zhang died in a hospital in Wenzhou on June 15 with the hope that the remaining 430,000 yuan in donations could help her mother, who suffers from chronic lung disease, to live the rest of her life.

After her daughter died, Zhang Yurong contacted the fundraising platform's operators to return the money to the donors.

"Money doesn't come easy for the donors," said the mother.

Shuidichou has recently finished the refund process based on the proportion of remaining money from the total donations.

It is the largest amount of donated money ever returned on Shuidichou, according to the platform's operators.
