Visiting the tulip field feels a bit strange. It’s not just the atmosphere, but it seems designed more for social media photos than actual farming. You start to wonder if they even sell the tulips – or if they just charge people, mostly middle-aged women, to take pictures and create content for their own social media, effectively making money off the photos instead of the flowers themselves.

She also admitted to feeling like she had developed a form of Stockholm syndrome during their relationship, taking responsibility for Ye’s actions.

She clarified that Ye has never contacted her to ask about their four children, despite online claims that she’s preventing him from seeing them.
