By laugdi | Published in ASOS & Friends, Dee Hsu, News | 16 Apr 2010
Dee Xu (Xiao S) called in a discussion program TVBS 2100 and defends Blackie (Hei Ren) being called by TV Personality Zhou Yu-Kou a “hypocrite”. Blackie recently broke down in tears in front of the media extra money was used to cover costs for the event; he never pocketed any money.
Here’s a transcript of the video above.
| Xiao S: |
Hello I am Xiao S. Hello everyone. I was watching your programme and I felt very emotional when I heard miss Zhou’s comment. I thought it was ridiculous and unbelievable. Da S (Barbie) and I have been involved in various charity work and donation over the years and every single donation I made, never once was it intended for the purpose of tax rebate. Well yes ok it will facilitate tax rebate, but the sole reason we, Da s and I were involved in charity work was to help others. Zhou Jie commented that Hei Ren’s idea is hyprocritical, I felt that in fact it was her comment that was malicious. Why must we thwarted the idea when people donate money “Ah that’s only because celebrities wants to have the benefit of tax rebate, they aren’t truly charitable”, Why do we have to think this way? Can’t human be truly kind and charitable? I felt that what Zhou Jie said just now, really, was brainwashing the general public, and made people believe that being charitable is no longer truly an act of kindness. |
|---|---|
| Zhou: | Please take back what you said about “malicious”. I was not referring you directly, because… |
| Xiao S: | No Zhou Jie, because this concept, this concept… |
| Zhou: | Please, Xiao S, you are a mom (chuckle), please take back the word malicious. As for the rest of the comment, we have different perspective, I understand and accept that you and heir en are friends. However I have my own stand, and you are on the telephone, making an accusation that the speaker is malicious, I feel disappointed for your two daughters. |
| Host: | Yes, Xiao S, on this issue I… |
| Xiao S: | I believe that you can equally retract what you said about being hyprocritical, because what you said was unbelievable. |
| Zhou: | Some people are hyprocritical, you are not, so I admire you, I congratulate you, however you cannot deny that some other people are hyprocritical when they make donations… |
| Xiao S: | Yes, but just now you said that they (Hei Ren) are hypocritical… |
| Zhou: | Basically your kindness and your ignorance, yes.. basically… |
| Xiao S: | This is basically your blanket assumption… |
| Zhou: | Basically, we can replay the recorded tape, xiao s, please take back the mistake you made just now, because you are a celebrity, you are a public mother… |
| Xiao S: | Ok, yes… |
| Zhou: | Cannot twist everyone’s perception, I respect you… |
| Xiao S: | Yes Zhou jie, I am here, I am willing to apologise to you, I will take back the malicious comment, however would you be willing to take back what you said just now about… |
| Zhou: | I don’t need to apologise to you, I was not referring to you, I was not referring to you, please do not make assumptions, Xiao s, thank you. |
| Host: | Yes yes, Xiao S, Xiao S |
| Xiao S: | …not supposed to misguide the audience regarding this wrong perception, make them believe that the reason people do charity is to obtain tax rebate… |
| Zhou: | I believe that Hei Ren’s method has completely twisted the conception of charity, he has deterred aspiring teenagers who wanted to get involved in charity from getting involved. These things, perhaps you can continue…with your friends Hei Ren ( eh?) …Continue discussion, how not to let general public to not have a twisted conception. |
| Xiao S: | Yes.. but yes… I know. I completely accept your advice humbly. However can’t you also let the general public know that being charitable can be purely innocent, and not about getting tax rebate? |
| Zhou: | These things can be innocent, but some people are not… |
| Host: | Yes, Xiao s, we would like to ask your opinion on an issue, actually we have communicated with Mr Chen Jian Zhou from the beginning. His charitable work and his positive image, I believe that the celebrity social circle and Taiwan audience have firm believe in this. However latest information has shown some controversy, maybe it was because it still isn’t completely transparent. Now particularly, the quality standard of explanation given by the media is very high. As a good friend of his, as this issue has progressed so far, apart from feeling sad for Hei Ren, do you feel that perhaps in future if Hei Ren were to embark on any charity work, his actions and method of handling will be some adjustment to avoid similar incidents from happening again? |
| Xiao S: |
Yes, actually Hei Ren has been telling me that he has learnt from his mistake, and from now onwards he will handle the issue in a more transparent manner. When we celebrities were invited by him to take part in “LOVE LIFE“, we had all received an information/news. This news states what we had to do, including to donate $100. Actually all of us who were invited knew about our own circumstances from the beginning until the end. Perhaps he did not announce to the general public immediately as to what was happening, with regards to inviting celebrities’ participations, hoping to publicize this charitable idea and increase awareness of this activity. So Hei Ren has learnt a big lesson from this incident, he knows what to do next, to be clear to everyone, so that he will not be misunderstood. There were other feelings but what he really wanted to do was to help the children. For example many children and their mothers attended the press conference all because of his effort. Another example, he contributed all cost and expenses for a child’s funeral. I know that there are a lot of questions amongst the public, and Hei Ren has to learn from this incident, but what I wanted to emphasize is that many celebrities do charity out of innocent reasons like helping people. |
| Host: | Yes we sure understand… |
| Xiao S: | It does not have to be for the purpose of publicity, or to increase own’s reputation, or tax rebate etc… to the extent that if people must have this perception in judging other people when they do charity work, then there will less and less people who would want to get involved in charity anymore… |

.. i believe that with todays age..only few people believe the true meaning of charities, bec. most of this is done to make someone’s name beautiful and of ocurse for publicity, but w/ regards to xiao s, i also believe on the other hand that there are still good people w/ good hearts that do charitable things to really help poor people and the needy ones..
I totally agree with you ariess. Especially with hollywood celebrities, well some of them might do it for publicity and tax rebate so you can’t really blame people for having this “malicious” perception. Having this perception is quite sad because we are also judging people with pure intentions in helping others and it’s not fair to them.
Xiao S might also kill me because sometimes I have this perception towards Charitable Organizations. But I always feel that, none of these matter. We wouldn’t know people’s motives unless we can read minds
. I wouldn’t care what motives one have for doing charity…but just as long as the donations/money are going exactly where they supposed to be then that’s all we needed to know.
So what if Xiao S is a mother? I think she is very correct to comment that Clara Chuo is influencing the public to suggest that charities are primarily for tax rebate. That’s so demoralising. Xiao S, as long as it’s correct, pls do not take a stand! Jia you!
