Confession 告白
I am very sorry for all the things that I have done. 我对我所做的一切感到非常抱歉。
I have a good wife and a happy family but I did not treasure it, causing myself to land in such a situation today. 我有一个好太太和幸福的家庭,但我却没有好好珍惜,搞到今天这个下场。
My betrayal had deeply hurt my wife and children, and I am regretfully sorry and sorrowful. The thing that touches me the most is that my wife, in her most painful moment, grit her teeth and chose to forgive me and I am very thankful for her graciousness and love towards me. By not leaving and choosing to cling unto me, she had allowed me to keep our family intact. 我的背叛,深深伤害了老婆也深深伤害了孩子的心,我非常的抱歉惭愧和难过,最令我感动的是,老婆在她最痛的时候,仍然咬紧牙根,选择了原谅我,我很感恩她的宽容和爱,因为她的不离不弃,让我保住了我们家的完整。
After understanding the disappointment felt by my parents, siblings, as well as friends, old schoolmates and relatives who have trusted in me, fans and movie buffs who have supported me, I really feel extremely ashamed. I have let everyone down and brought it upon myself. 至于我的父母和兄弟姐妹,还有一路来信任我的亲戚朋友老同学和风雨不改支持我的影迷粉丝,了解他们对我的失望之后,我真的感到无地自容。我辜负了大家,咎由自取。
An extra-martial relationship is a family’s personal affair and many have told me that as long as my wife and family forgives me, it already enough; that I do not need to care about anything else. But to ponder over it, for the past twenty over years, all of you had followed and grew up together with my television programs and movies; were familiar with and caring towards me, giving me your unreserved support and encouragement, how can I treat all of you as outsiders? Hence, my wish is that I may receive your forgiveness as well. 婚外情是家事,很多人也告诉我,只要老婆家人原谅就足够了,其他一概不必理会。但是想想,过去二十几年来,你们跟着我的电视和电影作品一起成长,如此的熟悉我关心我,对我毫无保留的信任和支持,我怎能把你们也当外人呢?所以能获得你们的原谅也是我的愿望。
There is a saying, that ‘one will reap whatever they sow’. In the past, I’ve often used this line in scripts to strengthen the plots in my movies; little did I know that this time, the saying came true in my own life. ‘What man are doing, heaven is watching’, don’t ever think that retribution is not real and don’t ever think that one can hide in the dark to do evil things and “heaven” won’t see it. My plight had proved just that. 有一句话说:「人种的是什么,收的也是什么。」以前经常用这句话来当台词强化情节,没想到这次竟然应验在自己的身上,“人在做,天在看”, 千万不要不相信报应,也千万不要以为躲在黑暗的地方做坏事“天”就看不到,我的下场足以证明。
This saga to me, is a very painful, as well as a very valuable awakening, allowing me to always remember the importance of cherishing my wife and family because they are life’s most precious treasure. 这件事对我来说,是一个非常痛苦但也是非常珍贵的醒悟。让我牢牢记住,好好珍惜太太和家人的重要,因为他们是你人生中最宝贵的宝藏。
Irene and I will continue to work hard to cultivate a successful and fulfilled marriage. I will also be very cautious of my words, actions and the way I treat all women, preventing misunderstandings from arising; and to be even more faithful to my wife, putting my family as a top priority. 美凤和我会一起继续努力,经营成功和美满的婚姻,我也会更加小心自己的言行举止和对待所有女生的方式,避免引起误会,也要对老婆更加的忠心,一切以家庭为主。
There is no way to turn back time and eradicate the wrongs that I have done. I am a human being that makes mistakes. Though I have admitted my misgivings from the onset, I would still like to plead that all of you can forgive me, and to give me a second chance. 我犯的错已经回不了头,我是一个凡人,会犯错,虽然我在第一时间已经承认了我的过错,但是对于关心我的人,我还是要在一次的祈求你们的原谅,给我一次重生的机会。
Although my wife and children had forgiven me, our relationship will still take some time to mend. I would also like to specially thank the people who have loved, encouraged and supported me during this period. 虽然老婆孩子已经原谅了我,但是,这段关系还是需要一些时间医治,我也要特别感谢在这期间,爱我鼓励我和支持我的朋友们。
I strongly believe that our Lord Jesus will not abandon me in my hour of difficulty. 我深信,主耶稣不会在苦难的时候离我而去的。
He won’t Jack… when everyone else fails you or when you fail everyone else… only God will not tui bu qi ni (let you down). :) I hope I get to see you and your family happier and closer than ever before! My own family is still far from the joy and happiness that you were talking about! I guess my time will come! :)
Btw, some Singaporeans are saying that Jack's wife shouldn't forgive him and that she's weak in doing so, etc. I think some may think that forgiving someone means you condone his or her actions? It's not true. Forgiving someone means acknowledging the hurt that the person have caused you but no longer holding onto a grudge against them. You forgiving someone is an act of graciousness and nobility on your own part but that does not equate to saying that what the person did was okay. Irene and the children may have forgiven Jack but he still has to change his ways and pay a price to regain their trust and to rebuild their relationship. Not to mention the public scrutiny and the over-zealous media that he had to endure. That was him reaping what he had sowed.
To end off again, here is the latest music video from Lady Gaga, Telephone! Just premiered today! It’s crazy!! If you are a judgmental, conservative and faint-hearted Christian, I mean, person, I beseech you to do yourself a favor and not watch it! *sticks out tongue* Hahaha! Watch out for what the prison wardens said after throwing her into jail, loves it! Hahaha! It's a sequel to her Paparazzi video btw!
