Gigabyte products are boycotted in mainland China (Image: Handout) In an advertisement for its latest laptop model, Gigabyte Technology Co., which specializes in motherboards and graphics processing equipment, claims that it manufactures its products in Taiwan, where Quality control is very strict. “Unlike other brands that choose low-cost and low-quality manufacturing contracts in China, Gigabyte Techonology is committed to producing high-quality and high-configuration laptops” – the advertisement said – “As a Taiwan-based laptop and components manufacturer, we make sure that 90% of our laptops are made in Taiwan.” The ad immediately caught the attention of the Communist Youth League of China. They posted a screenshot of the ad on Weibo on May 11, with the words: “Gigabyte, what makes you so brave?”. The Youth Union, which has nearly 16 million followers on Weibo, in March also criticized the Swedish brand H&M for refusing to buy cotton from Xinjiang, after several Western countries raised many accusations. human rights obligations in this region. Gigabyte, which has operated a factory in China’s industrial center Ningbo since 2003, immediately apologized after the ad. The company said in a statement that it has always supported the “One China” principle – Beijing’s political stance that recognizes mainland China and Taiwan as part of China. “Some of the content recently posted on our official website goes against reality, an incident that happened due to lack of management from within the company” – Gigabyte wrote on Weibo on May 11 – “We I have production lines all over mainland China, accounting for 90% of our production. Gigabyte prides itself on quality made in China.” However, this quick apology was not enough to calm the anger of the Chinese online community. “You don’t have a chance anymore” – a Weibo netizen commented on Gigabyte’s post – “Seriously, don’t waste your energy. You have crossed the red line.” By the end of May 11, Gigabyte products had disappeared from most Chinese e-commerce platforms. The search term “Gigabyte” returned no results on JD.com and Suning. Gigabyte’s official store on Tmall – an online sales platform operated by Alibaba Group Holding – no longer catalogs products. Alibaba, JD.com and Suning were not immediately available for comment. Gigabyte’s share price fell nearly 20% between May 11 and 12.

Those who love Jun Pham are familiar with the image of a male singer and a close father as friends. However, to be able to freely express the feelings as at present, the father and son have had to go through many difficulties, together trying to remove misunderstandings and problems.

Singer Jun Pham Hui talked about memorable memories with his father.

Like many other sons in the Vietnamese family, Jun Pham used to be unable to talk freely with his father. According to Jun Pham, his father is a strict person, so all the joys and sorrows in life are confided to his mother. Things kept going like that until the incident happened to his family, his mother passed away.

“At the age of 18, Jun’s mother unfortunately passed away. At that time I was lonely because I couldn’t share with anyone. The sadness, the change in puberty, the worries about going to college …, I can’t tell my dad. Because my dad is a man, sometimes I don’t understand and can’t share it. At that time, I was just selfish thinking for myself but didn’t understand that I lost my mother, but my father also lost my wife. I must be very sad too ”, Jun Pham said

The male singer also said that at that time, he could not accept the fact that his father went out for a drink every night, leaving him at home. When the anger peaked, the father and son had a quarrel so loud that the male singer intended to leave home. But the very next day, the hypertensive father was hospitalized and Jun Pham felt extremely sorry.

“At that time, I realized that I was so bad, I only cared about the past but forgot how important the present is. At that time in the hospital, I just sat holding his father’s hand and said sorry, promising that from now on I will always admit my mistakes “- Jun Pham recalled.

According to the male singer, thanks to that argument, the father and son understood each other better: “From that day on, Dad became lighter. I understand that he lost his very loyal wife, how could he get used to it. My father changed my mother to support me and I changed my mother to take care of him, it happened for 10 years. For those 10 years Jun tried to stand by his side to understand, he also tried to stand on Jun’s side to understand … so that now the two of us can love each other more, easily saying things like ‘I love Dad ‘or’ I love you ‘.

Trac Thuy Mieu and Dai Nghia are two MCs who sympathize with Jun Pham’s situations.

Expressing sympathy, MC Dai Nghia said that for family love as well as love, we must learn and sympathize with each other to be able to put love in. Sometimes a generation gap or being a man makes it difficult for father and son to sit down and talk emotionally like a mother and a child. Therefore, it takes practice to understand and love family members.

Talking more about his father, Jun Pham revealed that, although strict, he is extremely resourceful, loving his children. In addition to knowing how to repair household items when things are broken, he is always ready to go to the kitchen to cook delicious dishes for his wife and children. This caused Trac Thuy Mieu to exclaim: “Cha Jun is a rare case, a very civilized person who loves his wife like that”.

The male singer especially confided, he once gave his father a headache during puberty because of the rebellion. Until he matured and achieved certain success, he understood that what his father worried about was absolutely correct. And during that time there was an unforgettable memory Jun Pham: “The first time Jun took his salary and sent it all to his father. At that time, my father was very emotional, hugging Jun and crying always made me goosebumps and remember that feeling, I was so happy. Although I now make a lot more than 2 million, I still feel that 2 million is the biggest I brought to my family. From that moment on, Dad felt he was growing up. Dad and Jun accept to sit down and talk and share with each other ”.
