Fang Yuan Requests to Stay in Male Single Room; Talks About Hardship at Dawn, Suspected of Being Scolded Then Deletes Post

Hong Kong Heavenly King Aaron Kwok's wife, Fang Yuan (Moka), recently made her first appearance on the Chinese reality show '50 Kilometers Taohuawu'. In the latest episode released yesterday (14th), during the allocation of resting rooms, Fang Yuan requested to stay in a single room on the men's floor, which would cause the other 9 male guests to have to share one bathroom. This sparked public discussion. At 2am today, Fang Yuan posted online in response, but after apparently being scolded by netizens, she quickly deleted the post.

In response to public opinion about her being insensitive to 'read the room', she replied at dawn today, saying that she was taught from a young age to 'let others have the bigger share', but as she grew up, she realized it isn’t necessary to be overly modest. She tells her daughters: 'Be kind, but don’t wrong yourself; be considerate, but don’t force yourself.' She hopes her children won't need to cater to others, and that ‘a girl's sense of worthiness is never exchanged by giving in time and time again’.

Fang Yuan believes everyone is already working very hard recording the show and needs a better place to rest. Mentioning the production team, she stated everyone is working hard: 'We deserve enough room and bathroom facilities, right?' This sparked a polarized discussion online, with people commenting: 'Why do boys get single rooms? Why can't girls have one?' 'Being good to yourself and being selfish are two different things. Sometimes you really need to learn to be modest.' 'You earn a lot doing variety shows, contracts are clear, just cooperate with the publicity. Why bring up life philosophy, such a tea-spilling moment.' 'It’s fine to say this to children, but adults outside should understand that humility is one of the traditional Chinese virtues.'
