After MYM]Cassandra advised XiaoCang to be more prudent with what she says on live telecasts, XiaoCang has posted a new blog post to offer hfer apologies. Here is the translation:

When I returned to check the news, I saw PpG's blog and it was reproduced on so many sites, along with many eye-catching titles. In this beautiful fairy tale, there was a particular paragraph. PpG wrote this in her latest blog post:

"First of all, I would like to request for Ms XiaoCang not to circulate rumours. In WEG, when Grubby was playing his third map against Moon, XiaoCang claimed that Grubby's father was a banker. I know that there is such a rumour being circulated but she should not spread the rumour to thousands of others. I am not angry with her, but I hope that she will be more responsible in what she says on live telecast. Besides that, I think that her commentary is good! :) In China, I believe that MagicYang's commentaries are the best as he has a profound understanding of Warcraft."

I was in the wrong. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies here to Grubby and PPG. Thinking back, at that moment, Grubby had an 80 food army and a lot of items and gold. He also had two expansions and he was for the right opportunity to attack Moon who had few troops and resources. Before the decisive battle, after seeing how rich Grubby was, I made a joke, "Grubby is certainly worthy of being the son of a banker, he is really rich."

I was really not thinking too much when I said it. I saw and heard such things from somewhere. After that, because the translation of the term "banker" wasn't accurate, it caused many others to misunderstand, leading to the circulation of incorrect rumours. I am really sorry for being uncareful with my words and talking about unfounded gossip on a live telecast. It was irresponsible of me. These are also private matters and it was really impoilte of me to mention them. It was really unintentional and I wasn't thinking too much at that time...

Actually, on Nov 1, I went to visit Moon and Grubby. Grubby mentioned this incident to me. I apologised to him at that time. I was really nervous back then so I wasn't able to fully express my sincere apologies. When Grubby approached me, I knew I was in the wrong. My face turned red and I look down in shame while saying, "I am sorry."

That feeling kind of feels like when one faces one's teacher and does not dare to face his/her eyes. One's face will turn red with embarassment, and look at the floor. Perhaps foreigners don't seem to be exceptionally polite. Of course to be honest, my mind was in a blank and I was feeling quite ashamed already so I was only able to utter a sentence of "I am sorry."

Afterwards, Grubby signed his autograph very politely. I was still blushing and I thanked him. It is regretful that I wasn't able to properly apologise to him face to face. I also did not expect to have created for the both of you so much trouble. I will be more careful in the future about what I say on live telecast.

The most important thing in life are emotions, feelings, love, kinship, friendship. Love is about accompaniment for a lifetime. I sincerly hope that PPG and Grubby's love will last forever, like a fairytale.

A long time ago, I read an article from Grubby. He mentioned PPG in the article saying that she is a wonderful girl. I was deeply touched by this phrase. I believe that if a guy uses the term "wonderful" to describe a girl, then he must truly love her. Grubby is a very elegant guy. I am no longer able to find that particular article. When I read the article, I found out that PPG has such a pleasant name: Cassandra. It was also the first time I learnt about their close relationship and was moved by it.

I think that the article was written at Replays.Net. When I read what Grubby said, it seemed as though nothing existed, only that wonderful girl and the great romance between them. That is true love. I hope that PPG can translate my apology, my words, and my best wishes.
