taipei, september 6 (cna) - taiwanese artist ariel lin said in taipei on september 6, "chengdu, taipei, and yilan are where my grandparents, my grandparents-in-law, and i grew up. without these places and these people, i wouldn't be who i am today. please understand."

ariel lin recently mentioned in the seventh season of the mainland program "signal of love" that "i am from chengdu, and my grandfather is from chengdu", which triggered some irrational attacks in taiwan. she made the above response when she attended a press conference for a business event in taipei on the 6th and was interviewed by the media.

according to reports from taiwan media such as united news network and china times, zhu lixi, lin yichen's teacher at national chengchi university, recently said on a social media platform that he "doesn't remember teaching people from chengdu" and "please don't send me text messages on teacher's day." zhu lixi also made public a message he sent to lin yichen three years ago, expressing his dissatisfaction with her for not listening to his advice and going to the mainland to develop her career. zhu's remarks sparked criticism from many netizens, with some netizens commenting that zhu lixi's behavior was suspected of bullying. under pressure from public opinion, zhu lixi set the relevant article to be private.

the china times published a commentary on the matter on the 6th, pointing out that after graduation, the student still greeted the teacher non-stop, and the student was successful in his career and had outstanding performance. as a teacher, i couldn't wait to be gratified, but he actually criticized him with extreme ideology. isn't he a muddleheaded person and unworthy of being a teacher? this shows how politics can destroy people's minds.

chen fu, a professor at the faculty of liberal arts at ilan university, wrote on the china times website on the 5th that no matter whether they are from the mainland, the minnan people or the hakka people, everyone has their ancestral home, and there are differences between the household registration address and the correspondence address. this makes it normal for people to have multiple identities.

chen fu said that it was because ariel lin always remembered the origins of her ancestors that she did not forget to thank her teacher on confucius' birthday (which the taiwan authorities designate as teachers' day). teachers should give blessings instead of tearing apart the friendship between teachers and students.
