This was a profoundly shocking piece of news, and while many people felt a bit nostalgic, that nostalgia quickly evaporated.
Since they had used Qian Du search engine software, many people had a slight emotional attachment to it.
However, Qian Du search engine also had many criticisms, and the initial pay-for-placement scandal enraged all internet users.
A patient who used the Qian Du search engine to look up hospitals did not see rankings based on the hospital's technical capabilities; instead, the rankings depended on how much money they paid, with the highest bidder placed first.
As a result, the patient went to a subpar hospital, which severely delayed treatment and endangered their life.
While there were some who were nostalgic, many others said that such a company indeed deserved to go out of business.
