@KermodeMovie
I was the producer who made the this call today.
I was only asking if he was interested in coming on to talk about a survey on the "Britishness" in TV and film.
I am sorry if I offended you Mr Kermode. I meant no disrespect. I heard you elsewhere and liked your comments.

I just got a call from GBNews asking if I would go to talk about …
That’s as far as they got - I told them I wouldn’t go on GBeebies if my life depended on it.
Do they honestly not do ANY research at all?
Jesus wept.

I was not being passive aggressive Brian...English is not my first language and I meant it when I say thank you and I have very little idea of Britishness myself. I am so sorry if I made myself sound like that but I truly was not trying to push an agenda here. :(

I think the biggest takeaway for me this week is that people can respect each other regardless of the differences between us.
One more 3am start tomorrow before going back to my favourite radio station on Monday night.
Thank you for your kindness.

It's always tricky to say something when you work for them and are just about to make a living. But I've to say I found the comment seriously appalling, misogynistic and stupid. This is not the journalism I came to GB News for and should never ever happen anywhere. It's horrific.
Laurence Fox just did a whole speech on GB News on why men apparently won’t shag me ?

Spent my 4th Christmas in the UK with getting up late, E-bike cycling, early-evening cooking and watching my favourite Chinese TV series. Still feel a little bit lonely but much more positive than 2 months ago.

3 years in 🇬🇧! Learnt a lot, met some inspiring people, got around 200 rejection letters and put up some weight (again!).
It's been tough not being able to see my family for 3 years but I am still coping. Never thought I could go this far, so I guess passion does help.
Cheers🎉

To be honest, it is quite a difficult time for many. Uni closed means I lost my usual social connection. Radio station closed means I couldn't help by presenting my show. Friends left the UK means homesickness kicking in again. Finding a job, accommodation expiration...Tired.

An update on mom:
After tests and CT scans, the doctor suspectee she had problems with blood flowing to the brain. It might just simply be cervical spondylosis. She is taking medicine and it is improving.

Mom hasn't felt well for a few days but she said "It's not serious and I'll take a weekend off and it will be fine." But it didn't turn better. After collaboration between my dad and I she finally agreed to go to hospital tomorrow.
I hope it's nothing more serious than a cold.❤

A day in Sheffield: Supertram, botanic garden, art gallery and National Emergency Service Museum.
Back in the office tomorrow. With the Great British Rail Sale, I guess a few more trips are essential. It'd be good to have a companion but I think I made solo trips work so far.

I was told by a rejection letter that I did not show enough 'persistence'. I guess it's true. How can someone be persistent if he/she studied abroad, coped with homesickness & pressure and kept applying with 80+ rejections?
Anyway, I love the view of

Ended my 2020 with an evening shift. This year: from Cardiff to London, from uni to office, from highs to lows, lows and lows😂.
Luckily, though struggling with finding a job, which is much harder for me as a foreigner, I am still hanging in here.

From today, my mom(pic 4) won't need to get up at 5:30 for early shift and I won't worry about her safety getting home after night shift anymore. Because the new tube line opened today.

Best wishes to my hometown Hefei, and I miss you❤

BBC Radio London is literally getting rid of every single one of the best presenters they have on air. I've been listening to Duncan, Jim and Petrie for years and it is really really sad to hear this news. I am not a Londoner but I think Londoners deserve these great presenters.
Such a lot of speculation at the mo - thought I’d clear things up. Along with
@DuncanBarkes

@JimDavisOnAir
I will be leaving
