[Transcript]Radio Interview with DJ Guang Xu and Jerry (Part 5)Music : Memory Pieces
Guang : Mr. 1 Metre, could you like to introduce this song. . .
Jerry : (Laughs)This song is called Memory Pieces. . .Personally I like this song very much as it has a very special meaning to me. . .
Guang : What meaning. . .
Jerry : Ah?. . . (laughs)it is. . .I feel that the content is very good. . .(laughs). . .Yes ah. . .
Guang : You might have to prepare yourself for a good cry today. . .
Jerry : (laughs). . .
Guang : We just had a chat during the song and Jerry has been facing situations at work and life one after another. In private, Jerry is someone who thinks a lot. So he is not just an artiste who lets his agent to handle his other matters and he only has to concentrate on his work.
Jerry : Mmm.
Guang : I know that from your family background, youfve had to work very hard. Though F4 was a phenomal success from the start but there were challenges in terms of work opportunities, acting choices, people relations etc. So one after another these would keep coming. Youfve had to express, ponder and be sure of what you want and know what is lacking. Then you have to face like youfve said a very serious matter. . .
Jerry : Itfs really difficult. . .Frankly speaking since young my growing up environment is very simplistic. My mum is actually a very down-to-earth country folk so she always taught us to not do anything bad like stealing or robbing. I still remember when I was young my mum would sew till the wee hours of the morning. In fact it is this that gave me a lot of strength to be good. However when you enter the society, you never meant to harm anyone and though your approach is very innocent yet misunderstandings occur. It could be that I cannot communicate well or is unable to express myself and I couldnft adjust in time too. So some around me might feel I am too serious or demanding or whatever. . .
Guang : From having a very low EQ, you are improving.
Jerry : Yes. . .Itfs ok. . .I feel. . .
Guang : These matters that happened have helped you to better understand and merge with the society. They have become a help in your expressing yourself better. Is that right? You werenft beaten and was able to recover from these setbacks. . .
Jerry : Mmm. . .You can say that. I think I need a more mature perspective on many matters. I was very childish before. In fact my outward appearance doesnft give others a feel that I am a big, childish kid. As many have expectations and with the gradual responsibilities to those around me including myself as an artiste, I need to do things much better. . .
Guang : Mmm. . .You can now understand you might try your best but some matters canft just be put right. . .
Jerry : Mmm. . .
Guang : Deep in your heart, what are you thinking about?
[/i]Jerry : In my heart I think. . .[/i]
Guang : Do you feel at times you are not in time? But you still have to struggle and you continue to work hard. Or maybe you might not be good enough. And since it is so, you should keep up the work but not everyone would wait for you to see the efforts of your hard work. . .
Jerry : Mmm. . .I think. . .I should thank. . .that is. . .Those who have hurt me previously. Or I should say those people or happenings which have caused me to change a lot. I think I have slowly been able to realize some things. . .mmm. . .I really need to mature faster as many a time I might feel that I am doing for eshowf. Cause when you do not know the language or how to express yourself, other might not feel it and then maybe. . .
Guang : You feel that you are not apt at expression, too frank, too childish, too impulsive. . .how much were you hurt?
Jerry : A lot. . .Of course there is a lot. Including my family and because that certain kind of. . .mmm. . .that kind of. . .how do I put it. . .(laughs). . .it is. . .mmm. . .
Guang : Feelings are like fragments, memory fragments. . . just hope so much that it can be repeated. . .
Jerry : I will hurt many whom have been good to me but it is such a pity and because I feel I. . .
Guang : Just earnestly hoping that it can start all over.
Jerry : I find that I am very lucky. From the start till now, I meet a lot of very nice people. You know like Big Sister Chai and so many who are willing to help me and they treat me like family. But I was not shrewd enough before.
Guang : Not mature enough.
Jerry : My thinking lack sufficient perspectives. At times the way I express myself might hurt those close to me but I did not realize it then. This hurt. . .
Guang : How great is it. . .
Jerry : It would gradually accumulate. Wanting to help you. . .that is to say. . .
Guang : Life is an accumulation of memories. If one doesnft gain experience from these memories then they are a waste. Is that right. . .
===========================================
[Transcript]Radio Interview with DJ Guang Xu and Jerry (Part 6)Jerry : So like Ifve just said I feel that I need to see it from an appreciative viewpoint. As these have spurred me to better myself.
Guang : Mmm.
Jerry : The reason for bettering oneself is so that everyone can see that you are changing and maturing. Moreover when other see it, actually. . .mmm. . .
Guang : These past matter are very meaningful. . .
Jerry : Yes, it really is. . .for me a very. . .deep. . .
Guang : Experience.
Jerry : Experience. . .No matter whether we were very happy or whatever. Along the way, you would have met many who have been good to you. And you have also been sincere to those who have taken care of you. But I am not a deep thinker and adding to that, my character is more childish. Whatever I want to do, I would just do it so I keep making mistakes. At the same time, you might not realize that other are changing. . .
Guang : Distancing. . .or disappointed with you in some ways.
Jerry : Yes, I feel it should be disappointment. . .yes. . .
Guang : Mmm. . .These people will always have a place in your heart. And you hope that things could start over. Even if they canft be, at least the relationships could continue. . .this is a very beautiful feeling. . .
Jerry : Mmm. . .I feel. . .
Guang : Feel, wow. . .so complicated. . .
Jerry : ( Laughs ). . .
Guang : Feel that Life is so complicated and it is really such a difficult question to answer. . .(laughs)
Jerry : I. . .I canft find. . . I canft find the word to describe it. Just to tell those who were important to me that a mere thanks is not enough to express. . .Just that without those experience, I believe Jerry Yan wonft think to better himself. I donft know. . .
Guang : I know. . .I feel that they have always care for you. Keep an eye out for you and hoping that you become better. . .
Jerry : Yes yes. . .
Guang : Your work with World Vision Taiwan is a great opportunity then you might feel different. And by beginning on this, you are becoming different. . .
Jerry : Mmm, I think in another way, I want to. . .see their living conditions. . .
Guang : Letfs take a break and we can have a good chat with Jerry Yan later. . .
Guang : From Jerry Yanfs conversation about the Mongolian trip, we chatted about setbacks he had to face. And through this he should come across as a little different. We have a break and then wefll be back. At UFO radio, wefll invite Jerry Yan for a chat. In the past we are used to calling him Bao Long (Boisterous Dragon) or Xiao Bai Tu (Little White Bunny) but I want to just leave these aside. So Jerry Yan is just Jerry Yan.
Jerry : I feel that. . .I should be called Xiao Ben Dan (Little Silly Fool). . .(Laughs). . .
Guang : (Laughs). . .Letfs have a break and wefll right back.
Guang : UFO Twilight Family, I am Guang Yu. Sitting opposite me is Yan Cheng Xu. . .(laughs). . .say how is everyone, I am Yan Cheng Xu.
Jerry : (Laughs). . .How is everyone, I am Yan Cheng Xu.
Guang : Jerry Yan is the Spokesman for the Sponsor a Child Program for World Vision Taiwan.
Jerry : Mmm.
Guang : He will be going to 10 countries for this project. He has gone to Outer Mongolia and saw many poor children there.
Jerry : Mmm.
Guang : Not only are they poor, they might be sickly and still have to face many problems in Life. It is really brutal. Normal city folk like us who face problems like affairs of the heart or family differences cannot imagine their situation.
Jerry : Yes, yes.
Guang : What they are facing are problems with survival not like ours right?
Jerry : Yes, yes.
Guang : Ours is about clashes between differences of opinions whereas theirs is where their next meal will come from. What about my Life? Where will it lead to? What is my future? My environment is like this, my conditions are so and my future, all these are Lifefs basic survival needs.
Jerry : Yes, yes.
Guang : What we face are not like these. So Jerry Yan did not just go 1 meter away but even farther to see them. And he will go on further, though he was sun-burnt this time. . .everyone knows that you were burnt. . .
Jerry : Not at all. In fact I didnft want everyone to know when I returned.
Guang : I know that.
Jerry : Then it was because. . .
Guang : You were photographed with a mask on.
Jerry : Yes and when everyone asked I would be at a loss as to how to answer. I was afraid that if I said anything else then everyone might feel that you. . .do not want to be photographed. . .or something else. . .thatfs it. . .
Guang : Mmm, that is great. . .someone wants to give you first aid immediately. . .
Jerry : Ah?. . .(laughs)
Guang : . . .(laughs). . .it should be so. Actually I was hoping that she can give me first aid too. . .
Jerry : Oh, thatfs great. . .(laughs)
Guang : (Laughs). . .Really, you are willing to let her give me first aid. . .
Jerry : Itfs ok. . .
Guang : (Laughs). . .We are bros, good buddies and we get along very well. . .
Jerry : (Laughs). . .
Guang : So you feel that it is very funny. .
Jerry : Yes. . .(laughs)
Guang : But this event will continue. . .and you will be going to many other places.
Jerry : Yes.
Guang : During the interview just now, you were telling us that we put in a little effort, about NT$700 a month. In this way, you can sponsor a child and in the future help him escape poverty, help him be educated and in his life as well. . .
Jerry : Yes, so he can go to school and then he can drink cleaner water. Whatfs most important is to give them warmth amidst the bitter cold winter. . .
Guang : Mmm, could you explain in detail about this project. What should we do, how will the World Vision make use of the NT$700 and what ways or targets are there?
Jerry : Oh, I think if anyone doesnft know, they can call World Vision or look up their website for details. . .The World Vision phone numbers are 0225856300C 0225856300 and you can know about how to participate in our activities. In fact a mere NT$700 and you can help a child in another corner of the world. It is an interesting feel as you can see them grow. You never know perhaps you might feel differently when you see him a few years later. I feel this is very meaningful since it concerns the little onefs growth spiritually and many other aspects. . .
Guang : So please take note that the website of the World Vision Taiwan is
www.worldvision.org.tw. Everyone can make a special note of the phone number 0225856300.
Jerry : Mmm.
Guang : What countries will you be going next?
Jerry : Oh. . .It could be. . .
Guang : It could be where. . .
Jerry : Oh. . .Singapore. Malaysia and then to Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Hong Kong. . .
Guang : It the same as going round Asia.
Jerry : Yes, yes, almost.
Guang : Itfs almost like that but not to Vietnam. . .similar. . .
Jerry : Oh, Vietnam is not included. . .Like the Philippines is one of the country in need of aid so I will go there to see the children. . .
Guang : I am a little shocked. . .like Japan, Singapore. . .These are countries under aid as well. . .
Jerry : No, no. We are going to these countries to appeal to everyone to join in our ranks.
Guang : Oh. . .
Jerry : Itfs because those areas that wefve just talked about. . .
Guang : Itfs using your. . .
Jerry : Right, they know me and I could go there to rally everyone to come together as a united force. . .
Guang: Mmm. . .you are a Sponsor yourself.
Jerry : Yes, yes.
