When asked about his newfound fame, Mr. Yijun was modest. “I don’t really see what the big deal is,” he said. “I’ve been playing video games for most of my life, and I enjoy it a lot. It just so happens that people like to watch me play them too.”
However, some have criticized Mr. Yijun’s rise to fame, arguing that he has taken away opportunities for younger, more deserving gamers. “It’s not fair that this old guy gets so much attention just for playing video games,” said one disgruntled gamer. “There are so many young people out there who are much better at gaming than he is, but they can’t get a following because of this guy.”
Despite the criticism, Mr. Yijun remains unfazed. “I’m just happy that people enjoy watching me play,” he said. “I never thought I’d get this much attention at my age, but it’s a nice surprise.”
One of Mr. Yijun’s biggest fans is his grandson, who introduced him to the world of video games. “I never expected my grandpa to become such a big deal,” said the grandson. “He used to struggle with technology, but now he’s a pro. It’s great to see him having so much fun and getting so much attention.”
Mr. Yijun’s success has even caught the attention of some gaming companies, who have approached him about collaborating on new projects. “It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest,” said Mr. Yijun. “I just want to keep doing what I love and sharing it with my fans. If other opportunities come my way, I’ll consider them, but for now, I’m just focused on having fun.”
In the end, Mr. Yijun’s rise to fame is a testament to the power of perseverance and the value of having hobbies at any age. While some may scoff at his success, he continues to bring joy to people around the world, reminding us that age is just a number.
