At 9:50 PM last night, when Lu Xingyu was giving the staff members gifts of Yiner, a specialty of Tongjiang, she changed into a white high-end suit again. She said that changing clothes during dinner is her habit, and it projects an image of a mature and gentle young lady from a distinguished family.
Chengdu Evening News: Who pays your salary? Is it paid from the 10% management fee of the donation?
Chengdu Evening News: Do you still need to disguise yourself when going out now?
"Staff Member" called our newspaper:
Lu Xingyu: It's supported by my father.
Emphasizes bedding cleanliness
First impression
When Lu Xingyu gave an exclusive interview to Chengdu Evening News (Weibo) in Tongjiang, she responded quite strongly to netizens' doubts about "showing off charity", "high-profile charity", and putting on a show.
Lu Xingyu: It's related to social reasons, people have psychological inferiority complexes. I think the criticism is not aimed at me personally, but at the act of charity itself, and I am just one point of it. I think there's no need to care, why punish yourself with others' mistakes, follow your own path and let others talk.
The next day when she made the donation, she changed her half-velvet black small handbag, not carrying that large LV bag, she applied light makeup, and wore a pair of branded shoes with panda heads on the tongues, "I like pandas."
Lu Xingyu: We have no legal or moral issues, we must clarify this.
Chengdu Evening News reporter Zhou Tao, photographer Wang Hongqiang, Lu Xingyu donated school buses
Reason: Donated a school bus worth 250,000 yuan to Wuxia Primary School in Nuojiang Town, Tongjiang County
This interview was reported by multiple media outlets present. Was the media contact initiated by Lu Xingyu herself or was it the idea of Weibo? The staff member said that it was the result of communication between both parties, "After all, it's a good thing, and for her, it's also positive."
Chengdu Evening News: Have you reflected on why until now, no matter what you do or say, you are always questioned?
Lu Xingyu: Only during the month when the incident happened last year, later it wasn't necessary anymore. I don't look like a goddess descended from heaven, I don't have an aggressive appearance, I'm very kind, now it's unnecessary.
Chengdu Evening News: Where does the money for donating school buses come from?
Lu Xingyu: Sometimes the driver delivers, sometimes I drive myself. I won't reveal which car I drive for safety reasons, and I also don't want to flaunt.
"High-profile Charity" Behind
Lu Xingyu (Weibo) (Executive Chairman and Secretary-General of Sino-African Hope Project, Secretary-General of Global Chinese Future Leaders Club) Share to: Welcome to comment, I want to comment
Lu Xingyu: Am I high-profile? Is media exposure the reason we're high-profile? As long as it encourages more people to engage in charity, it should be encouraged.
Lu Xingyu comes to Sichuan to donate cars, come for the interview!
Lu Xingyu: No, the 10% management fee of donations is managed by the Youth Foundation. My salary is paid by my father's company, which is Tianjiu Roshang Group.
Chengdu Evening News: Some netizens say you are "showing off charity," believing that "doing charity doesn't require showing off," thinking that you're now doing good deeds very high-profilely.
"I'm not afraid of what others say, if you have the ability, come and put on a show too" "Only losers have so much envy and hatred"... These sharp and arrogant words come from Lu Xingyu - the post-85 girl who has been cursed online as "Lu Meimei". Yesterday, under the witness of many media outlets, Lu Xingyu donated a "safe school bus" worth 250,000 yuan to Wuxia Primary School in Nuojiang Town, Tongjiang County, Sichuan Province.
After entering the hotel, Chengdu Evening News reporter noticed that Lu Xingyu values cleanliness. She carefully checked the bedding and found a black stain on one pillow, asking the attendant to replace it.
Chengdu Evening News: How do you supervise the donated school buses later? Some netizens mentioned whether gasoline problems will be solved?
And on this trip, apart from the 250,000 yuan for donating the school bus, did Lu Xingyu pay any additional activity fees to Weibo? The staff member said there were none, food, lodging, and transportation were all covered by Weibo, "Lu Xingyu and her assistant's flight tickets to Sichuan were provided by us." When asked whether Weibo is the pusher behind Lu Xingyu, the news publicity team, the other party replied: "We have so many people we can interact with, she is so controversial, why would we push her? We can only show that she is our user, respect all her personal behaviors. Weibo is not her backstage team."
Chengdu Evening News: One type of crisis PR awareness is cold handling, waiting for things to gradually calm down, but after the Weibo incident, why did you and your father respond so actively instead?
Carrying a black assistant with an LV bag
"We have no legal or moral issues that need clarification"
Lu Xingyu flew from Beijing to Guangyuan at 3 PM on the afternoon of June 6. This time around, she only brought one black assistant, who helped her carry her handbag onto the car, the lower right corner of the handbag had an embossed LV logo. At this time, Lu Xingyu was plain-faced, with a ponytail, looking like a neighbor's girl. According to Weibo staff members, after the November 16, 2011 Gansu school bus incident, Weibo immediately launched the "Safe School Bus" action initiative, soon after, Lu Xingyu posted a message on Weibo willing to donate a school bus to respond to the "Safe School Bus" activity. "She wanted to join herself, so we contacted her. She had this idea, it's also a good thing for children, we couldn't possibly refuse."
Chengdu Evening News: Regarding this school bus donation, some people still question, saying you're putting on a show, seeking fame, how do you view this?
Exclusive Interview with Lu Xingyu

Lu Xingyu: Supervision will be carried out by the local education bureau and traffic management departments, we have communicated with these two departments, they will strictly supervise. Regarding gasoline, the school and the education bureau will handle it, I just donate the car.
