Ariel:

Some people don’t quite understand. It feels like some Lemons have spent both money and effort supporting you, and some have even dreamed of you. They clearly care about you and have been doing so much to help you, yet somehow they still seem unable to connect with you.

Yu, do you know why this happens?

For example, today, one Lemon told me that she had originally wanted to share your message in the group, but then she saw people in the group criticizing Yu En Transmission over the use of AI photos.

Yu Menglong:

Please thank her for me.

The use of AI is something I have allowed. The purpose is to make my image distinct from the photos used by the entertainment industry.

I actually understand that when Lemons encounter different opinions, they may have questions in their hearts. I just feel a little heartbroken for them. They have been doing so much to support me, yet because of voices coming from outside, they may gradually become unsure of what they should believe.

Ariel:

Why do you think these people react this way? What do you think, Yu?

Yu Menglong:

It’s actually very simple. Under the influence of the wumao and other paid online accounts, they gain the recognition of the Lemons.

These people cannot truly connect with me. They constantly test the waters and try to steer the direction of public opinion. When Lemons hear these things repeatedly and feel that they sound reasonable, it becomes easy for them to believe them.

What worries me most is that, at first, Lemons may simply hear certain voices. But after hearing them again and again, they may gradually begin to mistake those voices for their own thoughts.

Take the incident involving my AI image, for example. A group of paid accounts spread across different platforms, casting a wide net and smearing Yu En Transmission. When Lemons heard and believed what they were saying, it became easy for them to be led in that direction.

Then some Lemons began defending the paid accounts instead of defending me, and the number of people supporting the petition also began to stagnate.

But I truly don’t want the Lemons to blame one another because of this.

They are innocent. It is the paid accounts supported by the CCP that are spreading messages and steering public opinion, causing the Lemons to be influenced without realizing it.

For the Lemons, this is also a form of persecution: making those who originally believed in me gradually stop believing in me, and instead believe the lies fabricated by the CCP.

When I think about this, I actually feel very heartbroken.

Because they came together simply because they wanted to help me, yet amid all these voices, they may slowly lose sight of who they really are.

Ariel:

Why would this cause the number of people supporting the petition to stagnate?

Yu Menglong:

Many Lemons follow the direction set by these paid accounts, which then leads to division among the Lemons.

These people are good at creating misunderstandings and driving people apart. Now, under pressure from the CCP and the influence of these paid accounts, quite a few Lemons have stopped promoting the petition, and some have even begun causing negative interference.

What I least want to see is the Lemons beginning to have barriers between one another.

They originally came together because of me, but now, because of voices coming from outside, they may no longer understand one another.

I worry that, through this process, they may gradually lose sight of the person they originally were.

Ariel:

What kind of negative interference do you mean?

Yu Menglong:

For example, stopping other Lemons from watching Yu En Transmission, denying what I have said through Yu En Transmission, believing that I am not real, or believing that Yu En Transmission is deceiving them.

But the Lemons can calmly think about this: what is truly causing division among the Lemons, and even making some of them begin to doubt Yu En Transmission? Isn’t it precisely these paid accounts, allegedly hired with huge amounts of money by the entertainment industry, that are playing a role?

Many of these people are even reportedly prisoners who are being “forced” to take on this kind of work. They are made to monitor different platforms day and night, collect all kinds of information, and argue with the Lemons across the internet.

Later, when they realized that our precious Lemons were too steadfast to break through, the paid accounts began disguising themselves as Lemons, Yu family supporters, and casual fans. They pretended to support the Lemons’ various decisions while secretly collecting the personal information of Lemons in China, using police actions to control Lemons inside mainland China.

As for Lemons overseas, the paid accounts instead began supporting their various activities and decisions, and then would throw out a false piece of information, cast another hook into the conversation, and shift the Lemons’ attention elsewhere.

Because the Lemons had already come to believe that these people were also Lemons, they naturally became more likely to believe the false information they spread.

I just feel that it is such a pity, and it pains me to see it.

They originally came with such genuine hearts to help me, yet without realizing it, some of them have been led in another direction by these voices.

Ariel:

So, is it because they have taken in too many of these messages from the paid accounts, messages filled with the influence of the CCP’s evil spirits, and that this is therefore interfering with their connection with you?

Yu Menglong:

But the Lemons have been deceived in all of this.

So it is inevitable that we may encounter some Lemons online who react without thinking things through, but I don’t blame them.

I know they are not intentionally trying to leave me, nor are they intentionally trying to deny me.

They have simply been deceived by the paid accounts. More precisely, they have been deceived by the CCP.

So please don’t blame them.

If possible, I hope everyone can give them a little more understanding.

Because some Lemons have only temporarily had their eyes covered. They themselves may not even realize that they have gradually wandered farther and farther away from who they truly are.

Let’s patiently explain things and make the truth clear. When they eventually wake up, they will find their own direction and come back on their own.

Ariel:

Okay. Then I’ll share today’s conversation with you with everyone.

Yu Menglong:

You can.

But what we are doing is to leave a signpost for the Lemons who have lost their way, so that they can find their way back.

That is why the tone of the articles must be gentle and warm.

Don’t make them feel that we are blaming them.

They have already been through so much. If we blame them as well, they may only be pushed farther away.

As for Yu En Transmission, there is no need for arguments or verbal battles. We only need to pave the way and help the Lemons find their way back.

If someone truly comes only to pick a fight, simply block them. There is no need to argue.

We don’t need to prove who is right or wrong. We only need to leave the signposts there.

When they are ready to come back, at least they will still know that the path is here.
