The controversial artist has already received more than 6,000 yuan ($958,000) from more than 22,200 people.
While many have sent money via post and the internet, other have resorted to rather unconventional methods -- folding bank notes into paper planes and throwing them into Ai's garden at night.

Should it be $946 = 6,000 yuan or 6,000 yuan = $151,130 US?
something's off.
another article says "6,082,451 RMB (that's just over US$958,000)" which is the right conversion.

i think they forgot some zeroes. 6,000 RMB is not worth reporting on
