I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person. ↗

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted. ↗

I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world. ↗

I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode. ↗
