After brewing overnight, public opinion online regarding Yan Feifan's high salary had shifted significantly.
Many netizens now believed that since Mr. Yan served ordinary people at regular prices while earning large sums from the wealthy and foreigners, he was a good, capable man with a conscience.
In addition to this reversal in public opinion, what surprised Yan Feifan even more was that the *PLA Daily* had actually published an article on its second page titled, "A Discussion Sparked by a Doctor's Hefty Pay Stub."
In the article, the author mentioned Yan Feifan's leaked June pay stub and pointed out the wave of online criticism it had generated.
The author also made a point of noting that in recent years, many discerning individuals had been calling for higher salaries and better benefits for professional and technical personnel.
Yet, after this pay stub was exposed and confirmed, the internet was filled with voices of condemnation.
