On January 22, Zhu reflected on his time in prison in a clip compiled from an unreleased podcast on social media platform X.
“Obviously no one wants to go to jail,” Zhu said. “But overall I think it’s a really enjoyable experience.”
According to Zhu, the facility’s lights will be turned off from 9:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. With no internet time and no alcohol or caffeine, he falls asleep quickly and wakes up as soon as the light comes on.
“I had the best sleep of my life in prison,” he added.
Zhu said it was difficult to get used to sleeping on a mat on the floor, but it gave him a “magical feeling”.
“I feel a closeness to my ancestors,” says Zhu. “Because this is what I was supposed to live like.”
