Cao Xiaobo said, "To say I'm not tempted would be a lie, after all, we're talking about over a billion here. I couldn't earn that much in several lifetimes, but I'm even more aware of the risks involved. A single misstep could lead to irreversible disaster, and living abroad isn't what I want either. It's fine to travel occasionally, but to leave for good and stay overseas without ever coming back? No way. In a foreign country, where I know no one, if something happens I'd have nowhere to turn; heaven and earth couldn't help me. But at home, if anything happens, I always have relatives and friends to help out. So, the idea of moving abroad and never coming back just isn't going to happen for me."
Xu Yang smiled and said, "You see things quite clearly."
Cao Xiaobo gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not that I see things clearly, I just don't think that's the life I want. Many people do want that kind of life."
