Recently, the entertainment industry has been in turmoil, with the online exchange between well-known comedian Gong Hanlin and soccer star Feng Xiaoting stirring up public debate. Immediately after, Gong Hanlin publicly displayed a fake soccer ball suspected to be signed by a senior international footballer, an act that ignited even more public opinion. Just yesterday, Gong Hanlin uploaded a video through his personal social media platform, showing off the second soccer ball in his collection - a soccer ball signed by Chinese women's soccer legends Sun Wen, Gao Hong and Pu Wei. Meanwhile, Gong Hanlin cheered on the Chinese men's soccer team, expecting them to show off their strength in the upcoming Top 12 tournament, when the whole nation will give them warm support.
Surprisingly, in the comment section of Gong Hanlin's video, Pu Wei, a representative of the golden generation of Chinese women's soccer, left a message pointing out that the signed soccer ball shown by Gong Hanlin did not seem to be from her handwriting. Pu Wei humorously said in her message, "Mr. Gong, this doesn't look much like my handwriting." She then further elaborated that she had never seen the soccer ball as far as she could remember, and that the signature was not written with a professional signing pen, but an ordinary ballpoint pen, which led to the obvious difference in the handwriting.
Having learned the lesson from last time, Gong Hanlin confessed in yesterday's video that he could not guarantee the absolute authenticity of the signature on the soccer ball. He also expressed his gratitude to Mr. Au Chuliang for his previous correction of his forged soccer ball and said, "Once again, I would like to share this black and white soccer ball with you. Although the ball is real, I can't guarantee the authenticity of the signature. This is thanks to Mr. Au Chuliang's valuable advice. Thank you!"
