Initially, Fu preferred to remain anonymous. “When I won the first prize in 2023, I kept my identity private,” he recalled. But by 2024, word had spread among relatives and friends. As requests for loans and financial help mounted, Fu decided to go public. “After everyone who wanted to borrow money or ask for help came forward, I just went public,” he explained, adding that revealing his identity no longer has much impact on his daily life.
