Boss Zhao recalled his true experience on the first day of his imprisonment throughout! In an interview with CNBC, he described that day as "very brutal": being required to undress for a full-body search, repeatedly checking various parts of his body, the entire process was extremely uncomfortable, and it made him face the reality of prison life for the first time. Talking about how to emotionally cope with this experience, CZ's attitude was exceptionally restrained. He did not exaggerate the pain, but simply told himself, "only four months," it wouldn't be pleasant, but as long as he could endure it day by day, that would suffice. Thus, he chose to treat that day as "an ordinary day," using an almost cold approach to get through that period. As for the long-term concern from the outside world about the "pardon" issue, CZ stated that what really made him start to seriously think about this matter was not his personal initiative to apply, but the continuous media coverage. Around March 2025, mainstream media such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and The New York Times successively published articles, which instead became an important trigger for him to realize the "possibility of pardon." CZ emphasized that before this, even after being released from prison and the change of power in the United States was completed, he did not actively promote relevant applications. It wasn't until the public opinion and reports continued to ferment that this topic truly entered his realistic considerations.
