[Reporter Lin Xinying/Taipei Report] The well-known YouTuber Ahan was invited to host the program "Talk about the People of the Times" on Sanli News Channel Zheng Hongyi. Talking about the feeling of becoming famous, Han recalled that he received attention on the fourth day of his debut in 2017. The first idol to repost his video was Jolin Tsai. "It was overwhelming at the beginning, but then it stumbled all the way." Later, he became popular again with his role as "Fortune Teller Auntie", and he also said frankly The inspiration for the character came from his own crazy fortune-telling experience. The most exaggerated cost was more than 70,000 yuan at a time. "At that time, I felt that if 70,000 yuan could change my life, it would be quite cheap." As for why he is keen on fortune-telling, he said with a smile: "I really only count emotions. I think emotions are difficult to control."

During the show, Han also transformed into "Ruan Yuejiao" in one second to talk to Zheng Hongyi. He revealed that the character's voice came from the special accent of the landlady when he was eating Vietnamese pho in the past, and he came up with the idea of "turning this accent into his own voice." As for "Fortune Teller" Liao Lifang, it took two years to prepare. When filming the hit episode, he didn't even recite his lines. He bluntly said that he had "got into the role" and lived completely in the role. "I feel so happy." When asked why he always observes life and creates characters, Ahan said bluntly: "If I could only be myself in life, I would feel so bored."

Ahan started filming after joining the army. Six million people watched it on the 4th day after it was uploaded. After it became popular, traffic and popularity also became a source of pressure. He confessed that he once burst into tears because the number of likes on the social media dropped from more than 200,000 to 60,000. He was afraid that he would "not be able to do it anymore and become outdated." He still occasionally gets anxious now, but he has gradually learned to live with his emotions. He also thanked his parents for their support all the way. His father even showed him that the search records were "all Ahan". His mother told him long before he became famous: "One day when he is no longer popular, my mother will cook for you at home, and you will go home."

Talking about the process of growing up, Ah Han revealed that he was originally the "King of Children", but after entering the voice-changing period in the fifth and sixth grade of elementary school, he gradually became lonely. He was even ostracized and ridiculed in junior high school, describing himself as "a little bit suffocating" at that time. Until he met Mr. Peng from Life Education, who said, "Don't be afraid, just be the best version of yourself." This became an important force for him to get out of his slump. Looking back now, he believes that "a sound personality comes from being relaxed and being oneself." In the past, only 10% dared to be oneself, but now it has increased to more than 60%.
