Borrowing Money to Buy a Land Rover?
Isn't this one of the highlights of Liu Dingshuo's live broadcast?
That night, Liu Dingshuo faced various questions from netizens, almost losing control of his emotions, making it seem like he had just fought a tough battle over a car.
In theory, buying a car shouldn't be a big deal, but some issues are not that simple, especially when people scrutinize a public figure's life with a magnifying glass. Even something as trivial as buying a car can stir up a minor controversy.
This time, Liu Dingshuo's response is not just about a small matter.
In the live broadcast room, he was asked by netizens if he borrowed money to buy a Land Rover.
Initially, he responded quite casually: Of course, I did.
But as more and more skeptical voices followed, questioning why he would borrow money to buy a car and even asking if he was borrowing money, these words accumulated like a snowball, making Liu Dingshuo increasingly impatient and gradually more agitated. He directly retorted: Friends can lend me money, but they may not lend it to you!
Look at that, those words really sparked a lot of fireworks among netizens.
Liu Dingshuo's response is not just a simple rebuttal.
He explained in detail that he indeed paid in full for the Land Rover and did not borrow any money.
As for those who maliciously edited his statements, he also refuted them without holding back.
It makes one wonder, why can a car make someone so agitated?
You see, Liu Dingshuo has been with the national table tennis team for 12 years and hardly owns a single property. Everyone knows that table tennis, unlike other major sports, does not bring in a fortune.
Not owning a property isn't a big deal, after all, it's not the lifestyle he desires.
Buying a car, however, is different.
Many netizens believe that since Liu Dingshuo bought a luxury item like a Land Rover without owning a property, isn't that a bit inappropriate?
From his explanation, one can sense that he feels somewhat wronged.
Why? He has been striving in the table tennis world for so many years without owning a property, yet he can still do what he wants, like buying a car. How did that become a topic for others to criticize?
Moreover, he mentioned that there are always people in life who like to view others with prejudice, always thinking that others are not worthy of having certain things.
That's an interesting point, meaning: It doesn't matter how you see me; what matters is how I live my life.
After Liu Dingshuo's emotions erupted in the live broadcast room, reactions were mixed.
Some netizens sympathized with him, feeling that he had been misunderstood. What's wrong with genuinely wanting to buy a car?
However, there were also netizens who felt that his response was too intense, directly clashing with critics, which might have been a bit excessive.
Especially for some fans, they prefer to see Liu Dingshuo present a calm and mature side in the live broadcast rather than getting angry over trivial questions.
Some netizens pointed out that Liu Dingshuo might need to find a persona that suits him better instead of blindly following the trend of participating in live commerce.
Speaking of live commerce again, during that live broadcast, Liu Dingshuo encountered some problems.
His performance in the live commerce broadcast was not ideal, and some netizens even teased him for selling himself short.
These remarks are a bit harsh, but they do have some truth to them.
As an athlete, Liu Dingshuo's transition to live commerce obviously lacks experience.
Some netizens say that athletes transitioning to live streaming, especially those with personas like Liu Dingshuo, often face significant challenges.
The training career of athletes has already brought their professionalism to a certain level, but live commerce is different. They need to know how to select products and interact with the audience, which is indeed unfamiliar territory for Liu Dingshuo.
Liu Dingshuo's live broadcast room is not just about selling products; more viewers are attracted by his life story.
Many people don't just want to buy products; they want to hear about Liu Dingshuo's journey, which is also a major challenge for athletes transitioning: finding balance between two completely different fields.
Liu Dingshuo also mentioned that after serving the national table tennis team for 12 years, he still does not own a property, but he can still fulfill some of his material needs, even buying a car. This contrast seems to create some confusion.
Is Liu Dingshuo's statement a strong defense or an overreaction made in emotional turmoil?
Some netizens' opinions suggest that Liu Dingshuo did not find an appropriate communication method in the live broadcast, which made the problem more complicated.
Especially when responding to the question of borrowing money to buy a car, if he could have been calmer and more rational, perhaps the situation would not have escalated to such an intense level.
Some netizens even think that he needs to adjust his live broadcast style, not blindly imitating other athletes in doing commerce, but should choose a direction that fits his personality and interests, avoiding the dilemma of doing unsuitable things.
Regardless, the challenges Liu Dingshuo faced in this live broadcast are precisely the common problems encountered by athletes after transitioning.
Transitioning from the playing field to the live broadcast room is no easy feat.
Athletes often do not have much time to cultivate marketing skills, product selection, and communication with the audience, all of which are key to the success of live commerce.
Therefore, while trying live commerce, Liu Dingshuo not only faces doubts from the audience but also frequently confronts self-doubt and external criticism.
Some netizens say: Liu Dingshuo's response was indeed too agitated. As a public figure, he needs composure and wisdom, especially when facing such trivial doubts, he should not let his emotions dictate his actions.
That voice is quite reasonable, after all, live commerce is not just about selling products, but also about building a personal image on stage.
If he could maintain a peaceful and mature image in the live broadcast room, he might be more popular.
People watch live broadcasts not just to see an athlete's temper but to witness their multifaceted nature and growth in new fields.
Another netizen expressed support for Liu Dingshuo, saying: I support Liu Dingshuo. After all, buying a Land Rover is his freedom, and he doesn't need to care about others' opinions.
If I had the money, I would also want to buy a Land Rover, not to mention that Liu Dingshuo earned it through his hard work.
That kind of support is also reasonable because who wouldn't want to live more freely and confidently someday?
There are also netizens who propose: Liu Dingshuo's live commerce broadcast may indeed not have achieved the expected results. After all, this is not an industry where every athlete can succeed. It's important to find the right direction.
Although these words seem rational, for Liu Dingshuo, it is still a challenge. After all, he is still exploring his new career path.
Who knows, maybe he will eventually find his own place in the world of live commerce.
No matter how you look at it, Liu Dingshuo's live broadcast incident can spark a big discussion about athlete transitions, live commerce, and public figure emotion management.
From his intense response to the different views of netizens, the whole event is filled with drama and conflict.
This shows that every action and word of a public figure can attract widespread attention and discussion, especially in the era of highly developed internet information.
Whether Liu Dingshuo will continue to do live commerce or turn to other fields in the future, no one can predict.
At least we can see from this incident that the life of a public figure is not just about the glory under the spotlight but is also filled with doubts, challenges, and the process of growth.
Liu Dingshuo will undoubtedly bring us more unexpected surprises in the future.
