Christine Fan Criticised For Saying That Singing Can’t Make You Rich

Sooo… guess who’s getting criticised on social media. Again. Although to be fair, the comments are a lot tamer and more constructive compared to the merciless hate fests we’ve seen in the past.

On Wednesday (Aug 19), Taiwanese singer Christine Fan Instagrammed a picture of herself in a recording studio, along with a lengthy and rather philosophical caption about singing.

“Singing can’t make you rich, but it can let you live a wonderful life. Singing can’t dress you up in designer brands, but it can make you younger than your peers. Singing can’t let you have bird’s nest and shark’s fin every day, but it can keep you away from diseases,” reads the first few lines.

how much trouble they have gotten her into in the past).

“I like you, but sometimes you really need to consider what you’re saying,” the fan wrote. “You say singing can’t make you rich and can’t put you in designer brands, but I would like to ask, your current comfortable lifestyle and [your husband] Blackie Chen’s increasing influence are all only possible thanks to your occupation as a singer. If you were a hard-working supermarket employee, could you have all these?”

The netizen then reminded her about all the flashy cars that Blackie has flaunted on his socials in the past — he also reportedly makes at least S$4mil a year — and once again told her to be careful when she speaks. “Your words have already caused you so much harm, you should learn your lesson. You are a public figure so you should be careful or else you will get attacked again.”
