In the video, Dong Yuhui said goodbye to Huo Qigang in English and said "stay in touch", which caused a burst of criticism. It seems like a simple exchange, but there are many stories behind it.
Dong Yuhui, a knowledge blogger with huge traffic on online platforms, his live broadcast is not only limited to selling goods, but also attracts audiences by sharing knowledge. This unique style makes him stand out in the world of influencers, bringing a lot of attention wherever he goes.
Just recently, Dong Yuhui took his team to Hong Kong, and this trip was not only a simple visit, but he was also fortunate to be received by Hong Kong celebrity Fok Qigang. As a well-known figure in Hong Kong, Huo Qigang's meeting with Dong Yuhui is undoubtedly a major event that attracts attention.
The meeting place for the two was chosen at a unique Hong Kong tea restaurant. The environment was warm and grand, and after the two sat down, the exchange seemed to start naturally. Huo Qigang took the initiative to greet in Mandarin, and Dong Yuhui responded in fluent English.
During the meeting, Huo Qigang and Dong Yuhui discussed many topics, including cultural exchanges, public welfare activities, and possible future cooperation. Huo Qigang expressed a high degree of recognition of Dong Yuhui's live broadcast content, and believed that Dong Yuhui's dissemination of knowledge through the online platform was a very meaningful thing.
As the meeting deepened, the topic between the two became more and more in-depth, and the atmosphere of the discussion gradually became warmer. However, it was this seemingly harmonious meeting that caused a small storm on the Internet.
At the end of the meeting, the two stood up, thanked each other and said goodbye. Huo Qigang said "stay in touch" in Mandarin, while Dong Yuhui responded in English with "stay in touch". The scene was recorded by a member of the team and subsequently uploaded online.
The video quickly caused an uproar on the Internet. Many netizens began to question why Dong Yuhui, as a Chinese, chose to use English instead of Mandarin when communicating with Huo Qigang, who is also Chinese. This choice of language has confused and even embarrassed quite a few people.
In the face of such controversy, Dong Yuhui's fan base has different views. They believe that Dong Yuhui and Huo Qigang are thinking about each other and trying to communicate in a more comfortable way. Fans believe that this is just a form of mutual respect and not a deliberate use of foreign languages to show off or create estrangement.
In addition, fans also pointed out that Dong Yuhui's reception by Huo Qigang is a recognition in itself, indicating that his efforts in cultural communication have been recognized. They believe that Dong Yuhui should not be excessively criticized and interpreted just because of the choice of language.
Despite this, the discussion about the incident on the Internet is still hot. There are supporters, there are criticisms, and there are even opinions with strong emotional overtones that such actions are detrimental to the dignity of the national language. Behind this seemingly simple choice of language is a complex view of cultural identity, language use, and standards of behavior for public figures.
In the end, Dong Yuhui's team did not immediately respond to the controversy, but it is foreseeable that this incident will leave a strong mark on his career. At the same time, it may also be an important consideration in his future content creation and public communication.
