No one will give you money because you're poor; you have to rely on yourself.

In 2016, Wang Sichong followed the production team to a female guest's home and saw her poverty. She said she would cook instant noodles to entertain everyone, and he immediately said, "No one in this world will give you money because you're poor; you still have to rely on yourself."
In 2016, Wang Sichong was leading his self-produced variety show "Hello! Goddess" as the crew traveled to visit contestants. At that time, he carried the title of "Wanda's Heir," and every word and deed carried a topic of discussion. Known for his sharp tongue and outspoken nature, he was often controversial, but also surprisingly insightful due to his clear worldview.
This time, following the camera into a female guest's home, the scene of poverty left this accustomed-to-luxury young master with a moment that was both sharp and warm-hearted.
The production team had not informed her in advance. When they suddenly arrived, the female guest was in her rented house of less than twenty square meters, a cramped space filled with clutter. The walls were somewhat mottled, the windows looked old, and the dim corridor and old building without an elevator contrasted sharply with Wang Sichong's usual social circle.
Faced with the sudden visitors, especially the commanding Wang Sichong, the female guest seemed a bit flustered, standing awkwardly to the side, speaking with some nervousness.
After a few greetings, it was mealtime. Looking at her simple home, she felt embarrassed to offer proper hospitality and tentatively suggested, "There’s not much food at home, I’ll cook some instant noodles for everyone." She reached to open the fridge, but the ingredients inside were even more sparse, with one fish already growing small mushrooms.
Wang Sichong quickly waved his hand, with a helpless yet amused tone reminding her, "Mushrooms are growing, buddy. Put it back quickly. This is basically a biohazard." The comment made the atmosphere a bit awkward, and the female guest's face instantly flushed.
The host hurried to smooth things over, jokingly encouraging Wang Sichong to show off his cooking skills, but he straightforwardly said he had very high standards for food: "The noodles I eat must be imported, the pot must be imported, and the water I used to cook rice yesterday was Fiji water."
This sounded like the spoiled attitude of a wealthy young man, but he showed no trace of disdain. The female guest did not back down either, bravely saying, "I’ll cook, and if you don’t want to eat it, that’s fine. I can give it to the host." She then started cooking her instant noodles.
Wang Sichong didn’t say much more. Instead, he casually found a small stool and sat among the clutter, with no airs at all. He looked around at the cramped, dilapidated rented house, at the mottled walls and narrow bathroom, but his gaze was not filled with disgust. Instead, it became more calm.
Everyone thought he would never touch this ordinary bowl of instant noodles, but when the female guest brought over the steaming bowl, he calmly accepted it and ate with relish, silently respecting the girl’s dignity.
After finishing the noodles, Wang Sichong looked at the girl, who was slightly embarrassed but still stubborn, and his tone suddenly became serious. He said the widely circulated phrase: "No one will give you money because you're poor; you have to rely on yourself."
He paused, then added, "Even if I see her in a difficult situation, I wouldn’t give her special treatment or let her advance. The rules of the competition are set, and all results depend on your own effort. Society is inherently cruel."
This speech sounded sharp and cold, but it contained the most genuine awakening. At that time, Wang Sichong was known for his sharp tongue, but he was never indiscriminately harsh. He mocked the simple ingredients with words, but in action, he respected the girl’s intentions; he didn’t offer cheap sympathy, but was willing to reveal the harshest survival truths.
He could have maintained the attitude of a wealthy heir, coldly watching from the sidelines, but he chose to tell the girl directly that, rather than pity, teaching her to stand on her own was more important.
This instant of sharing instant noodles also shattered many stereotypes about Wang Sichong. Perhaps he is flamboyant and willful, but he has rare clarity in his worldview. He does not look down on others because of social status, nor does he break rules out of pity.
Compared to hollow comfort, that phrase "rely on yourself" is the most practical encouragement. Looking back years later, this seemingly accidental scene has long transcended the show’s effect and become the most straightforward commentary on the adult world: pity cannot bring lasting stability; only self-effort can support the life you want.
