The tragic tale of Sun Binbin reads as a discretionary tale of the dangers of online gaming.

Sun Binbin was once a promising student from a wealthy family with a bright future ahead of him. A top scorer in the Gaokao examinations for Taihe County, Anhui Province, Sun was admitted into Xiamen University where he served as head of student council for two years. Despite all this potential in his favor, Sun became a victim of the dark addiction of online gaming.

Sun’s grades would gradually drop by an extreme margin. Once eligible to gain employment at Xiamen University, Sun would lose his opportunity when he coasted by on his grades in his last year and was barely able to graduate. After having worked at jobs he didn’t like and failed operating his own business, Sun wanted more but was unsatisfied with what didn't meet his standards. Sun eventually fell in with an unsavory gang of rogues online and lived a life fully dependent upon his parents’ income. Seeing that the money wasn’t enough, Sun would turn to a life a crime.

With the help of his “friends”, Sun found out that Wang Chen, a popular television host, was playing an online game and had an online name called "Sword Rain”. Sun picked Wang because he knew personal information about her; Wang had recently turned 30 and was single. In concocting the swindle, Sun uploaded videos to a video-sharing site that had videos and pictures of Wang using the online name “Zhang Weiwei".

Sun was very crafty with the swindle and the pace at which he would fleece his marks. At first, Sun would ask for a hundred or two while in the guise of Wang; and then, this request would become a thousand, and then become several tens of thousands. This swindle would finally culminate in tricking a fellow online gamer in Jing'an County, Yichun City to send Sun over 200,000 RMB in the course of more than half a year.

But like all criminals, Sun was eventually caught by police, and punished.
