ENTRY ARTICLE IN GETTING TO KNOW SHUXIN: ENG SUB TRANSLATION THREAD PART 10/11 Before Youth With You 2, my dad honestly thought I was scamming them—like some kind of “fraud.” I’d been acting for about two years, and every time I came home, I’d say, “Mom, Dad, I’m telling you—I’m about to make it big!” But in the end, I never really made it. It was all just the illusion of popularity. Any child working far from home probably knows this feeling: If you don’t believe in me, then I’ll prove it to you myself. I’ll fight my way forward, and once something finally works out, I’ll come back and give you a surprise. No need to talk about all the setbacks in between. It wasn’t until I joined this show and made it onto the trending searches that—maybe—he finally believed me. That his daughter did become a little famous, after all. Lately, I find myself lying in bed reflecting on it all. It’s only because of those five years of groundwork—my past dramas, variety shows—that people gradually came to know me, to understand the kind of person I am, and then slowly came to like and accept me. If I had just burst out of nowhere like Sun Wukong from a rock, people wouldn’t feel the way they do now. I hope that people get to know me the way you mine for gold: Maybe at first, you think I’m “extra,” then you look a little deeper and find me cute, then dig even deeper and realize I have depth, that I work hard, that there’s more to me than meets the eye. Now I think—even when I’m just joking around, I need to be more mindful of how I speak. I should tone it down a bit. I have a team now. I can’t act like I used to—doing whatever I want without fear of consequences. It’s not that the team restricts me—it’s that I feel responsible for them. If I mess up, they could lose their jobs too. Compared to the other trainees here, my foundation is honestly very weak. Some of them have trained for seven years—I’ve only trained for a few months. No matter how hard I try, there are areas where I just can’t catch up. Whether my support score is No. 1 or not—it really doesn’t matter that much. That’s just a reflection of how much people like you and are willing to vote for you. If I’m being honest… yes, I do have more exposure than many others. But just because I’m ranked first in “support”... does that really mean I’m the strongest one here? - excerpt from “The ‘Wow’ Girl Esther Yu Shuxin: Always On, Never Off’ by 人物 / Author: 赖祐萱 / Editor: 槐杨 / 2020-05-08 #YuShuxin #Shuxin #Esther #EstherYu #虞书欣 #우서흔 #ユー・シューシン #NguThưHân #อวี๋ซูซิน #Cdrama #ChineseActress #Idol #YouthWithYou2 #YWY2 #青春有你第二季
