Jerry went earlier to Mongolia to visit his sponsored children. While watching footage pictures of his time with the children, he expressed with excitement, "It's been a long time since I've seen myself this happy"
As World Vision's Asian Ambassador for Child Sponsorship, Jerry went to Mongolia last October to visit his sponsored children. Now with the Malaysian World Vision event, he shares this Mongolian experience.
At the press con (28th) he said, ' Although I know it's very hard, I hoped that I could be like the children, being simple as much as possible. Children's smiles shocks and attacks me, why in spite of poverty they can still laugh and be this happy? With my Mongolian experience, its now unforgettable."
He continued, " It's not because I'm an actor, or just because I went to fulfill my duties for the society. My busy work does not enrich my spirituality, so I thought of freezing myself. I had always wanted to join such similar activities, but because of my work, I have no way,"
In his present Mongolian travel, he frankly spoke that compared to filming dramas, making albums or doing concerts, this is more meaningful. Moreover, he also wished that someday, he could join more cause-oriented activities. "Helping other people at the same time, I can feel how happy I am. "

He shyly said, " I felt very happy in Mongolia. Actually, when I experienced their life, I lived in a room with hot water so I felt a bit embarrassed to them.
Smiling Throughout
Jerry and the children talked to each other through a translator or by means of body language. At first, when he thought that these children were not very happy and worried, he hadn't thought that these children were actually very simple and happy. He sent out, "It's
very difficult for us to be like this happy. So we must be more grateful."
Jerry was full of smiles throughout the press conference, and also frequently greeting his 55 fans who came all the way from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China to attend the press con. Jerry's Malaysia-based Fans club personally set an example, an joined the Child Sponsorship Program.
Fans learn to sponsor children from their idol
Jerry happily expressed, " Actually, fans conveyed to me a direct message, that whenever it is my birthday or any other important day, all of them will do good deeds to encourage me. I feel that I am so blessed, that I can accomplish too many things. "
Jerry earlier said that when he got along with the children, it allowed him to feel what it is to be a father. Jerry smiled and said that it's not actually totally, but it allowed him to feel useful, and can let a child rely and depend on him. Jerry's wish is to build a school so that children could receive education. In the future when they grow up, they will give back to the society.
In addition, Jerry visited a heavily-scarred child in Mongolia. He lovingly said, " Before setting off, I already saw the child's picture and character profile. However, I was unable to feel how painful the injuries are for the child up to when I personally saw him. When he started to lift off the bandages of his wounds, I could really feel how badly he felt. As if I was him, in these circumstances, I just don't know how I can strongly manage to move. "
