Here is the manuscript.

"Hello.

I feel like a lot has gone by since the accident and now, I finally have a chance to speak on the matter to the public through my own words. I would like to sincerely say to the world: I'm sorry!

As a public figure, I have set a wrong example. I am unworthy of the love and support of the audience, and have caused great losses and troubles for my partners.

I accept all of the punishments towards me. I plan to take some time to reflect, and repay society through my actions.

Huang Haibo
