Yesterday Jerry Yan and Ella held a fans meet-and-greet session in Kaohsiung to celebrate White (Valentine’s) Day with their supporters. However it turned out that Kaohsiung was actually a place of heartaches for Jerry during his army days as his girlfriend then, had a change of heart. His heartache was so bad then Jerry even once considered committing suicide by jumping off the ship, which fortunately he did not eventually. In response to probes, Jerry said, “Today is a happy occasion, let’s not rake up the sad past.” On the other hand, Kaohsiung is a place which holds sweet memories for Ella as her first kiss was at the venue of the famous Kao-Ping Bridge (which links Kaohsiung and Pingtung).

White (Valentine’s) Day

CTV and GTV’s idol drama – [Down With Love] spent over ten thousand dollars yesterday to organize the fans meet-and-greet “Hi-Five” session at True Love Ferry Pier in Kaohsiung. Jerry, Ella, Xiao Xiao Bin, Xiao Xian, Michael Zhang and the rest of the cast arrived in Kaohsiung by the Taiwan High Speed Rail. The temperature for the day was over 30 Degree Celsius; and with thousands of fans gathered together, fans and artistes alike were all down with perspiration under the burning hot sun.

Wishes Lin Chiling Bliss; Jerry Nearly Sobbed Expressing His Gratitude to Production Team

Many years ago, Jerry was with the Navy during his army days and his girlfriend then had a change of heart and broke up with him. He recalled that he was once so overwhelmed with grief that he considered suicide by jumping off the ship. He shared that he had thought of proposing to her in hope of winning her heart but was rejected. It was a difficult period for him then. On the other hand, Pingtung resident, Ella has sweet memories of Kaohsiung as her first kiss, at the age of 16 years old, was at the famous Kao-Ping Bridge.

In his recently published pictorial book – [9314 Man & Boy], Jerry Yan shared on his love story entitled [Her]. While there were many speculations that he was referring to Lin Chiling, Jerry replied, “I’ve never mentioned about her.” The media hence probed further if he has contemplated a reconciliation with Lin, and Jerry replied, “This is unfair to her. Her happiness is more important. Perhaps she would have found a more suitable partner now. The constant mention of her would only cause her unnecessary problems.”

Yesterday was [Down With Love]’s last public activity; on his way back via High Rail after the event, Jerry proposed a toast to all members and cast of the production team. He drank up his can of beer while expressing his gratitude to everyone, and nearly sobbed as his eyes turned teary and red. Jerry also mentioned about the recent movie – [Monga] and said he would not mind shaving bald for his role potentially. In response, Ella joked, “You might as well consider filming a prequel to [Down With Love] featuring the army days whereby you shaved your head bald.”
