　　该名教师来自武宣县，其姓名并未在报道中透露。其于日前在QQ群上群发信息，讲述自己需要帮助的原因，并随后向已经毕业的学生发动捐款，让每个学生为其众筹买车。

　　Screenshots from the instant messaging app were instantly shared on social networks, showing the teacher explaining that he was too ashamed to ask for money from his parents, so he hoped his students could do him a favor by helping² him out with some money towards a new set of wheels.

　　该老师与学生的QQ聊天截图被上传到各大社交媒体，截图中提到，该教师称自己羞于启齿向父母开口要钱，只好向学生进行求助，希望他们慷慨解囊，帮自己一把，添置一辆新车。
