The photos are from April 21, my last day in Hong Kong. I had breakfast with Yi Jie.
She told me she was pregnant. She was very happy, saying she believed she was destined to have a fourth child.
I asked, “Why?”
She said, “Four.”
I said, “Then why did you spend hours standing in high heels at the BNB event venue yesterday? Are you crazy?”
She said, “But all those users were waiting in line to take photos with me.”
She said it so casually.
After that, she had other things to do. Then her assistant and I started complaining about how she wasn’t taking better care of herself. The first month or so of pregnancy is a very dangerous time.
A few days later, she told me she had lost the baby.
I didn’t have the courage to ask whether it was worth it, all those extra photos with users. I didn’t even know how to comfort her.
Later, I saw all kinds of scammers using her photos for marketing. Then I saw people maliciously using AI to make fun of He Yi for attention and traffic. I stayed silent the whole time. I didn’t dare ask. I couldn’t bear to ask.
Today, I saw so many people collectively getting excited over a gesture from some Western project team, like saying, “Hello, Chinese community.”
I just want to ask everyone: “Do you remember that when Chinese users had an issue—even if it wasn’t a Binance issue—the first person you thought to contact for help was @heyibinance? That’s what it means to know, deep down, who truly cares about users.”
@heyibinance, I’ve tried hard to ask you this today: Do you think it was all worth it?
