However, Gu Ailing made controversial remarks at the 2022 MetGala event. In a conversation with Emma Chamberlain, a post-00s beauty artist in the United States, Gu Ailing talked about the black bandeau leather skirt she wore, and Gu Ailing said that she felt very lucky, because this leather dress was worn by two Asian Americans. Here, Ms. Gu refers to herself as "Asian American," as well as South Korean star Jeong Ho-yeon, who previously wore the same leather dress.

This has added a lot of points to Gu Ailing, who is only 18 years old and a genius girl, who has naturally become a "national goddess".
Gu Ailing is now a top traffic, and every word and deed naturally attracts much attention. How to evaluate Gu Ailing's self-identification as Asian-American? If you think about it from another position, Gu Ailing is really helpless.

This time, Gu Ailing clearly expressed his position, in an interview with the US media, Gu Ailing's latest response showed his love for China, indicating that he has Chinese blood.
Gu Ailing said: "I represent China in the Winter Olympics because I have Chinese ancestry. Before the Winter Olympics began, China set a goal of 300 million people on ice and snow. I hope to inspire more young girls to try skiing and make their lives more meaningful. Not only that, Gu Ailing also talked about the topic of his popularity soaring, Gu Ailing continued: "I really did not expect to have so much attention, many people always say that they do not understand where I come from, I can only say that some people selectively close their ears, even if I repeat the explanation 100 times, they are not willing to listen." ”
In summary, Gu Ailing is indeed a good example. When she learned that China had set a goal of 300 million people on ice and snow, she chose to represent China in the Winter Olympics, hoping to let more Chinese young people know about ice and snow sports by competing for medals. From this point of view, Gu Ailing really did not have to be black. You know, Gu Ailing is currently only 18 years old, and it is really admirable to have such a mature idea!
