Early Retirement

It was reasonable for artists to make headlines before releasing a new album. They had to do so with true news though, instead of fabricated ones. If this had happened on the Chinese mainland, Sun would have been punished for disturbing public order and been forced out of the industry.

He was a great example of a talented man who had risen from the bottom of the hierarchy.
