But self-deprecation is risky, and imitation requires caution.
No sooner had He Jinxia spoken than a media representative questioned her, "As a celebrity, failing to control your own behavior and leading your fans astray can be very detrimental. Do you think the past you was a qualified star?"
"If you hadn't been pushed to the brink of not being able to afford meals, would you have had the determination to lose weight?"
