Luo Yonghao’s ‘Tech Gala’ Returns in Shanghai With Ticket Refunds and 1.67 Million Yuan Donation After Late Start

He later blamed the 48‑minute delay on ADHD, signaling a possible end to large shows if he cannot improve.

Overview

  • The Dec. 30 event at Shanghai’s West Bund began at 7:48 p.m., nearly 50 minutes behind schedule, with Luo bowing and apologizing on stage.
  • He announced that all ticket payments would be automatically returned via original channels after the show, calling the move a one‑off.
  • Luo said he would personally donate 1.6687 million yuan—the full ticket take—to the Hong Kong Tai Po Wang Fuk Court relief fund, listing buyer names with asterisks for privacy.
  • In a post hours later, he attributed the delay to ADHD and said he would forgo similar large events if medication or training fails to help.
  • He stressed that showcased products were handpicked by his team for him to present and noted his podcast draws heavy ad demand and strong income, with tickets having sold out in about two hours on Dec. 22.
