I don't like the world around me because it's too cold, but I like players' home wine. Just like you can set your own boundaries ... when I heard that this is a performance, I said that this is what I want to do ... Some of my foster families often take me to the movies and take me out, and I will sit all day until late at night. In front of me is a big screen, and I am alone. I like this feeling. "
