It is absolutely true that it would be a terrible loss to all of us--your loyal fans if you should leave Hive here! However, I understand you completely no matter what decision you make. After all, it is much more important for you to win the favor of the mainstream media than Hive.
Having said that, I can't still help but think of a poem: 最是人间留不住，朱颜辞镜花辞树. 'Things hardest to keep in this human world---Rosy cheeks which fade in the mirror and flowers that fall from trees.
(For my part, you are just the flying youth/rosy cheeks and the splendid flowers on Hive. )
Believe in yourself since we all believe in you so strongly! Only God knows how your writings brighten my days. I've followed them to fly away and see the world...
Thank you for all your efforts and contributions to Hive in the past 5 years! Take care! God bless!
