On January 4, Chinese media outlets such as Jimu News reported, "Recently, posts and photos have been spreading on Chinese social networking services (SNS) showing a female influencer from Fujian Province wandering the streets of Cambodia."

According to the reports, on December 26, 2025, a Chinese woman, referred to as Ms. A, was found near a hotel in the Sihanoukville area of Cambodia. In the photos circulating on SNS, Ms. A is seen sitting on the street with visible bruises and wounds on her knees, holding what appears to be a CT scan image of her knee joint. Her long hair is disheveled, and her face and body appear noticeably thin.

Police investigations revealed that Ms. A, originally from Fujian Province, is an influencer with about 24,000 followers. The last post on her account was a video filmed in Cambodia on December 6, 2025.

According to her family, Ms. A has not yet returned to China. Her father told Jimu News, "The photos circulating online, the passport information, and the account with 24,000 followers all belong to my daughter," adding, "We have had no contact with her at all since December 26, 2025, and have reported her missing to the police."

Her father explained that Ms. A was born in 2005 and left school after graduating from middle school to look for work elsewhere. She told her family she was working in Zhejiang Province, but even after starting her job, she continued to request living expenses, and the family has sent more than 80,000 yuan (about 1.66 million won) so far. Although they stopped sending additional money after November 2025, they continued to keep in touch.

On December 26, 2025, Ms. A told her family she had a problem with her leg and requested money for medical treatment, so the family sent her 2,200 yuan (about 460,000 won). However, on the same day, a relative found a photo online showing Ms. A wandering the streets, and contact with her was lost after that.

Her father said, "It was only after filing the missing person report that we learned my daughter had already left for Cambodia in April 2025," adding, "All I hope for is her safe return."

According to Cambodian media outlet Khmer Times, it was revealed that Ms. A went to Cambodia after being deceived by the promise of a high-paying job.

The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia issued a statement on January 5, warning, "Information about 'high-paying jobs' overseas is often linked to crimes such as online gambling, fraud, and drugs. Becoming involved in such activities can lead to illegal detention, violence, and threats to life." The embassy also urged, "Do not recklessly take risks or easily believe unfounded rumors at the cost of your own safety or life."
