He also promised that the data of Tianya will not be lost and will try his best to keep the posts, blog posts and divine posts that netizens have posted on Tianya.

Xing Ming said: "data will not be lost, Tianya never give up."

" Xing Ming also said that he will put the recovery and preservation of data in the first place and cooperate with the government and telecommunications to ensure that netizens'"memories" can be preserved.

It is reported that the resumption of Tianya live bazaar will begin at 20:00 on May 28 for seven days.

Speaking of the resumption of Tianya activities, Xing Ming said frankly, "I did not expect netizens to have so much enthusiasm, beyond our expectations, this is an incentive for us, at the same time, we also feel remorse for not maintaining the platform for everyone." Xing Ming added, "We are full of confidence in the future and have not thought of giving up." It is worth mentioning that some employees suggested whether to follow Yu Minhong to do live streaming with goods. Xing Ming said that the characteristics of Tianya are a little different, including his personal characteristics.
