Huang Bo responds! Journalist | Girl | Huang Bo
Recently, the incident where renowned actor Huang Bo helped a girl from a rural family in Guilin on a variety show five years ago has sparked heated discussions. In the program, the girl took Huang Bo home to have a look. Some netizens claimed that her grandmother blamed the girl for favoring boys over girls and even slapped her.
In addition, in the program, Huang Bo celebrated a 9-year-old girl's birthday and gave her a children's watch as a gift. Some netizens claimed that the children's watch was later handed over to their younger brother. The girl brought a birthday cake home to give to her younger brother, and some netizens interpreted it as "because the family values boys over girls, we should leave good things for our younger brother."
On June 3rd, the girl's mother told Red Star News reporters that there was no preference for boys over girls at home, and that the watch was not given to her younger brother. It was the child who lost it. The daughter simply brought the cake back out of love for her younger brother.
On June 3rd, the parents of the girl told Red Star News in an interview that there were three generations and six people in the family, and grandparents loved their daughter very much. It was a rumor that boys were favored over girls. At the same time, some self media articles claimed that Huang Bo also gave up sponsoring the girl on a variety show because the other party favored boys over girls.
The girl's mother told reporters that at that time, the content of the program was entrusted by the artist to fulfill the birthday wish of the left behind child by the parents of migrant workers, and had nothing to do with the funding behavior.
The reporter learned from the village branch secretary that the girl's family was lifted out of poverty in 2020, and her parents worked in Guilin City and Longsheng County respectively. Home life and medical education have been guaranteed.
On the evening of June 3rd, Huang Bo responded to this matter. He posted, "I believe everyone pays attention to some misunderstandings about the child's family because of goodwill, but I also hope that everyone can give the child a quiet space during her tense learning stage."
