[TRANSLATION] Thank you for hating me
What is the courage to be unafraid of being hated?
I think Faye Wong is the best example.
When reporters and hosts ask her questions, her most common answers are:
"What does it have to do with you?"
As long as Faye Wong thinks the question is rude, she will answer like this. She is never afraid of offending people.
For example, when Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse were kissing at home, they were photographed secretly by the paparazzi when they forgot to close the curtains.
When the media interviewed Faye Wong, they asked her:
"Shouldn't you be more careful in the future?"
Faye Wong responded straight-forwardly:
"My window faces a mountain, so I don't think I've done anything wrong. It's them [the paparazzi] who should be criticized. I don't feel the need to take precautions or anything. I'm kissing at home. It's none of their business."
At a press conference, a reporter suddenly asked her:
"Has your divorce been finalized?"
Faye Wong immediately got upset:
"What does it have to do with you?"
Reporter: "Our readers want to know."
Faye Wong rolled her eyes:
"I'm a public figure, but do I have to tell you all of my business? I still say that it has nothing to do with you and it has nothing to do with your readers."
After Faye Wong and Dou Wei divorced, a host asked her:
"Have you considered finding the ideal father for your daughter?"
After hearing this, Faye Wong looked unhappy:
"I never thought about finding an ideal father for her. My daughter already has a father. What I am looking for is my own partner."
I don't know if Faye Wong has ever read Alfred Adler, but she is really a person who uses the "courage to be hated" philosophy super well.
She never sacrificed herself to cater to other people's likes, never forced herself to meet other people's expectations, and never felt wrong about not being responsible for the emotions of others.
She made herself "immortal".
At a celebrity party once, an interviewer asked the stars:
"Who do you envy the most?"
Sammi Cheng was the first to answer:
"If we talk about envy, there is only Faye Wong."
The reporter asked: "Why?"
"We are just entertainers. Faye Wong is an artist. She loves herself deeply and lives the way we long to but can hardly achieve."
How can I have the courage of Faye Wong who is unafraid of being hated?
