Wendy (Interviewer): It feels like the public can be quite harsh on you sometimes, and it feels like there is a double standard. For example, when you speak up about one better kind of facility for the drivers, people label that as complaining, and you are a professional deliverer to the media, being called too PR. Many fans find that very unfair and frustrating. And they feel like, just like anyone who truly follows your journey, they see you as a very honest, dedicated, and just simply maintain a very high professionalism. So, do you ever feel a bit painful to see all your genuine intentions being twisted like that?
George: I think unfortunately that's the world we live in, and everybody has their right to their own opinion. And often a lot of these people who make these comments, they don't know me, they're not my fans, they don't know my journey or my values. So, I think it's also important not to take that to heart as well, because I see so much love as well, which I really appreciate, and the things that aren't so positive, it doesn't affect me. So, as I said, unfortunately that is the world we live in at the moment, where everybody has something negative to say. But I stand by my values, I stand by my people, my fans, and that's what means the most to me.
Wendy: Do you have words to your fans who feel unfair?
George: Yeah well I mean to all of my fans, especially in China, who continuously support me, I really, really appreciate it. And also I think it's important for them to spread good energy and positive messages and as difficult as it is to see negativity, we should never lower our own standards to combat that. We can let these people be negative and be hurtful, but we're better than that.
