The ‘Malaysian Piano Goddess’ Li Yuanling is well-known for her good looks and versatility, boasting over 3 million followers on Instagram and a high level of fame. Recently, in Jieyang, Guangdong Province, China, five boys brutally abused and killed a mother dog and her puppies. As an animal lover, Li Yuanling could no longer stand it and emotionally vowed to form a group to “teach a lesson” to the perpetrators. Unexpectedly, some netizens accused her of trying to gain attention from the incident. In response, Li Yuanling fired back in her Instagram stories: “I have my own popularity,” and said she does not need to use this social incident to attract attention.
In regard to netizens accusing her of riding the wave of the dog abuse case for attention, Li Yuanling clarified that she was simply feeling unworthy, angry, and heartbroken for the abused dogs, hoping to use the influence of her platform to raise public awareness. She boldly retorted to the critics: “I really don’t need to ride the wave of this issue for popularity. I am already popular myself.”
Li Yuanling pointed out that many public figures have chosen to avoid discussing the dog abuse case and questioned netizens: “Is this the kind of ‘not riding the wave’ you prefer?” Regarding this incident, she feels it requires enough attention; if everyone stays silent, justice will not come. Only when the whole world is paying attention and enough people speak out can the issue be properly addressed and push for changes in the system.
