You touched upon a bit about great election and after you being the youngest, also being a woman. So when you look back about your experience, how did you try to make peace with them, but at the same time, overcome these issues in order to do your job, also to take good care of your own mental health?

In today's world, if you look at ageism at workplace, many media focus on so-called the older end of the population spectrum. Especially when you talk about like tech company innovation, over 40 or 50. According to a lot of media, these more mature, more experienced or so-called older people, they are less tech savvy. Now that is one narrative.

But I always believe that ageism is not limited to the mature people. It's for the so-called younger, which you just share your story with me. I recall in my days when I worked in finance in some of the biggest firms in the world. Men dominated, white guys, I'm being the Asian, I work overseas, I'm 20-something or early 30s.

They may not say it in my face, but I can feel that they have their own, in quotation, reservation. I can relate to when you say it, but then in my situation, I have one less worry, which is social media. Your political career actually started around a time that this social media thing

I can definitely see this scene. Going back to some of the story you just shared, I guess over time, you change people's heart through your actions. Actions speak louder than words. As a public figure, you can, of course, spend your time responding to every single comment. That obviously is a waste of time because a lot of comments may not be relevant.

At the same time, silence is golden or I would say silence is equivalent to absence of noise. So if there's so much noise, you just learn to recognize what is noise, what is helpful to you and how you respond and how you respond sometimes with words, sometimes through actions. Time would give you the benefit of doubt. Eventually you grow and people see it.
