CHINA’S teen diving sensation Quan Hongchan’s family and neighbors have been harassed by tourists hoping to get social media “likes,” local media said.

Ever since the 14-year-old won Olympic gold after delivering three perfect-10 dives, fans have rushed to her village home to take videos and photos in Mazhang Township, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province.

Quan has received massive support online after she said she took up diving to pay her sick mother’s bills.

Her story touched many people. “I want to make enough money to support her,” Quan said in Tokyo.

On Weibo, the hashtag “how to view Quan Hongchan’s home becoming an Internet photo hotspot” was viewed more than 25 million times.

There was criticism over the actions of these influencers, who reportedly staked out the rural village to livestream videos even after midnight.

“If people are going to her house just to get followers, that’s despicable. Her mother is sick, she shouldn’t be disturbed,” one Weibo comment read.

The village has now been closed to visitors as the large crowds violated COVID control measures, reports said.

Due to her years of training, the farmer’s daughter said she had never been to a zoo or amusement park.

Her comments prompted safaris and amusement parks nationwide to announce free annual membership cards or free entries to her and other diving medalist.

Social media users have been following the Olympic Games closely, as well as the achievements of the athletes. (SD-Agencies)
