Dear XiaoXin!
I wish i could write you a letter… a real letter. Like the one i would write to ZC. Since i cannot do that, i’m going to write here instead. I have already communicated with you in here before. But i still have so much to say to you.
As much as ZC make me feel all kinds of emotions, i have realised, that your presence in this fandom makes me feel all the same emotions. I’ve been part of different fandoms before, but in none of those fandoms have i found a fellow fan, who’s presence makes me feel so welcomed. I don’t paticulary feel close to this fandom too… not anymore 😞. But to find at least one person, who makes me feel like i belong, means the world to me. For me, that person is you. I don’t even know why that is. Is it because you show so much love and respect for ZC? Or is it because i see how you treat other fans with so much kindness? I think it’s all of that. The way you are willing to listen to different opinions and how you are able to understand others points of views without forcing your own on them… i wish more people were like you. I often think that fans have a lot to learn from their artists. Amongst everyone in our fandom, you are the one, who radiates the same kindness, the same warmth, the same kind of compassion, that our beloved ZC do. I can see why you are so drawn to them. Like ZX has said many times “people on the same wavelength always find a way to each other”. I want to thank you for explaining everything to us, who don’t understan chinese, so that we can be a little bit on ease, when things get difficult. I want to thank you for always being so positive, because when you love someone, it’s so easy to be constantly worried when things don’t go like they are supposed to. Don’t listen to those, who say you are too positive about certain situations. There’s no such thing as “too positive”. I want to thank you for your countless translations, that make me able to be the fan i am. Because of you i’m actually able to understand and see the world they want us to see. I can see the effort and hard work you put into building this bridge stronger and stronger to carry so many of us to ZC. Thank you for being the glue that keeps a lot of us together. Thank you for simply excisting together with us.
I hope you also have someone like you in this fandom, someone who makes you feel like you make me feel. I see how you get criticised so often for no reason at all. I hope you have someone, who can comfort you, like you have comforted us for so many times. I hope you know how incredibly wonterful you are. I hope you’ll be part of this fandom for many years to come.
I have thanked you for so many times already that i sound like broken radio. But thats i grateful i am to you ❤️ So here goes my letter to you. You don’t have to answer this if you don’t feel like it. At least i got to say what i have been wanting to say.
And thank you again, forever and always… 🩷💚
I definitely need to answer this 😭 This is such a long & warm message from precious zcj! Tbh I don't even know how to reply bc I don't think there are enough words to convey how I felt rn!
I never expected anything in return when I started doing this. I just wanted to share what I knew & help inter fans understand them a little better so one day, when I slowly fade away from fandom, I don't think I'll have any regrets 😉
What makes me grateful is knowing that my existence helped some fans understand zc and how precious they are as people :) My way of loving people has never been loud, I don't really have the desire to meet them, get noticed by them, or be recognized. I just want to be here quietly, love them quietly, and one day leave quietly too. It's more peaceful that way 🤭
My willingness to listen to diff opinions? I think that's probably the quality I value most about myself too. Growing up, I always wanted my own voice to be heard + respected without being compared to others, my life experiences taught me that I can't only see things from my own perspective. There are always other pov worth understanding, even when we don't agree with them 🤗 that's why I can go through life without worrying too much every day, I try to understand before I judge 😌
After receiving criticism many times, I've become much stronger now! I don't really care about it anymore. I've learned how to find my way back to myself, back to being positive~
Over the years I've drifted away from many friends bc life simply moves people in diff directions. But I'm very lucky to still have my bestie of 13yr, who has become my travel buddy, my random talk and one of the constants in my life 🫶
Reading messages like yours reminds me that maybe I have more ppl than I realize cheering for me from afar too 🥹 Thank you for taking the time to write this, thank you for seeing me far more kindly than I see myself ☺️ Thank you, truly. I'll keep this message in my heart for a very long time 💖💚

Hi XiaoXin! You know, i've been thinking... It's funny how because i love two actors that you happen to love aswell, i actually have started to care about you alot too. On days when you don't post on x i always wonder how you are doing, are you well? Have you eaten? Are you tired? And days when you translate content after content i wonder if you get enough sleep while doing so much for us, international fans. You have your own life, your own job yet you're always the first to update us. Because of you, i'm able to understand the actors i love so much. I actually once tried to translate one minut video myself. You know how long it took me? An hour 🫣. I truly think that you are the reason why a lot of us haven't given up the love we have for ZC. Because sometimes when you love someone but you are not able to understand a word they speak, it gets so hopeless. I personally have you to thank for it, that you help me to truly understand and get to know them. You posted that you are working on translating things you love (drama series etc).. why do i feel so proud of you? Why am i so happy for you? Because let's be honest, i don't actually even know you. Yet here i am, caring about you so much. It's like i'm a fan of yours aswell 😊
Anyway, that's what i wanted to tell you for a while now. I wish you eternal happiness and may your every dream come true. And thank you, forever and always! 🩷💚
Hi 🥺💖💚 I actually read your message a few days ago, but I wanted to reply when I had the time to properly express how I feel. Your message really made me feel so overwhelmed and happy… I never thought someone would feel this way about what I do, so I’m truly, truly grateful 🫶
There are times when balancing life, work, and translating/updating ZhanCheng is really hard. Sometimes I skip meals or don’t get enough sleep, and even a 15–20 min video can take 7–8 hours to finish. But they bring me happiness, so I keep going :)
What means the most to me is knowing that there are people who notice my efforts. Thank you so much, really 🥺
One thing I’ve learned from c-zcj is that we’re all fans who love ZhanCheng, so we should support each other. At first it was just for fun and love, but now I hope I can help more people get to know and love them too. That would make me really happy 💖💚
Wherever you are, I hope you’re always happy, stay healthy, and continue loving ZhanCheng 🫶

Xiaoxin, this is C-ZCJ who has been following you quietly. You’re really amazing! Every time I get hurt by the public opinion on Weibo, I come to Twitter, and then seeing the sweet messages from Inter fans is so healing. I know you also check Weibo often and are among the first to be exposed to all that toxic content, but I notice you never bring that kind of public opinion to your own account. I deeply know how hard this is—after all, it’s hard to avoid wanting to rant or say something about it. Besides, you also mentioned before that there are some thoughtless people who come to ask you weird questions that have nothing to do with Zhancheng, and some even mistake you for someone from Google. All in all, you’ve really been through a lot. In the end, it’s still the same wish: 祝我们万事顺意！*This was translated using Google Translate, and I hope it conveys my sincere feelings correctly.💖💚

Xinxin, I've always wanted to say thank you so much for being here in the XuanXuan fandom. I've followed you since the very beginning, and I’m truly grateful for your genuine support and love for both of them ❤️ Thank you for always sharing and translating their updates! I know it can't be easy to balance everything with your own life, but I'm so thankful that you've stayed the same and continue to keep such a positive attitude. I don't even know what else to say, just that there are people who deeply appreciate your presence in the XuanXuan fandom 🫶 love u 💚🩷
Omg 🥹 thank you for saying this!! It really means so much to me 💚🩷 I just feel happy to be here with everyone, sharing what I can. Sometimes it’s tiring, but knowing there are people who appreciate it makes everything worth it 🫶 I’m also grateful for you and for this fandom family, let’s keep supporting them together ❤️ love u too!!

Hi XiaoXin!
I just got wondering. What is, in your opinion, an invasion of privacy? For me personally, it is anything that has to do with artist’s personal life, that also includes relationship he has with anyone. So how is shipping not an invasion of privacy? When people are publicly discussing artist’s private relationship and also assuming sexuality by doing that?
Thank you!
For me, there’s a distinction between shipping based on publicly released content and invading someone’s private life. When I talk about ZhanCheng, I only discuss things they or their teams have chosen to show publicly, bts footage, interviews, livestreams, public interactions, etc. People can interpret those interactions differently and I personally enjoy them from a shipper’s perspective. But I don’t claim to know what their actual relationship or sexuality is, because only they know that.
For me, invasion of privacy is when people cross the boundary of what has been voluntarily made public, for example, following them privately, tracking flights/hotels, leaking private schedules or conversations, secretly photographing them during personal time, digging into their families or private relationships, or spreading private information that they never chose to share.
Of course, everyone has a different boundary when it comes to fandom and shipping. If someone considers shipping itself an invasion of privacy and therefore chooses not to participate in it, I completely respect that too 😊

You have translated ZhanCheng content for over a year. You should know that ZX himself said that when he has a long period of acting, he doesn’t come out of the character during that time. He is the character. So just because some fellow actress says “the bts is real” simply means that she didn’t understand ZX method for getting into a role at all. She just feeds shippers at this point
Thank you for sharing your opinion! So here’s my POV: she might be feeding shippers and that’s totally possible. But as you said I’ve translated a lot of ZhanCheng content, especially their bts and from what I’ve seen, during rehearsals, joking around, they don’t seem to be completely in character all the time.
Even though the director sometimes calls them GuoJiang, to me, what we see in the bts often feels like something in between ZhanCheng and GuoJiang rather than purely their characters because you can see their discussions and their reaction towards each other. Of course, that’s just how I interpret what I’ve watched and translated.
You’re absolutely welcome to have a different interpretation. We’re all viewing the same content from our own perspectives 😊

Hi XiaoXin!
It’s been a while since i last wrote to you.
How have you been? I hope alright!
I wanted to ask you maybe a bit of a personal question? Do you sometimes miss the “old times” whith ZC? I don’t mean cp content or anything, i mean more like how things were back then? Because i kind of feel like things were a bit lighter. Fandoms were not this tense. I know cpf and sf have had their fights back then too, but compared to now, everyone seems to be so fragile now. Every little thing starts a fan war 🥺 It hurts to see.
I have never seen any of the fandoms being better than the other, all three fandoms have done a great deal of damage to each other. I’m a cpf 💖💚 but i would never defend another cpf if i see them being hateful towards a sf who has done nothing wrong. As you have said many times, we all love the same person at the end of the day. So that’s what we should focus on. Sometimes i feel like it would be better if we were all just fans, not divide us as cpf and sf. Sometimes i feel like that division is exactly the reason for so many fan wars. Because let’s be honest, our beloved actors all see us as “fans” who support them, they don’t divide us like we do. And of course there are fans (both cpf and sf) who would disagree with me. That’s another war right? Who ZC loves more? But they truly love all of us equally. They love everyone who supports them. Why fight over something so ridiculous?
Anyway. I miss older times sometimes… it just felt lighter. I hope you are doing really good. You also had a birthday right? Happy late birthday to you!!! 💖💚
Hi!! 💖💚 I’ve been doing okay, just busy with real life as usual and thank you so much for the late birthday wish!
Mmm, actually, from my perspective, I don’t think the fandom wars were necessarily less intense back then. Every little thing could start a war back then too. The difference was that we had so many activities and so much content that everyone was busy enjoying those things… while fighting at the same time, so maybe it felt lighter because there were always new things coming out that quickly shifted everyone’s attention.
This year is a little different. There haven’t been as many activities and there have also been disappointments here and there, postponed events, and the stricter environment in China surrounding certain things. Naturally, those situations make fans worry more and become more sensitive. When people are already anxious and there isn’t much new content to focus on, even something very small can easily become a much bigger issue.
But honestly, I’ve followed other CP fandoms for years, and I’ve seen this same cycle happen many times. So for me, it’s nothing particularly new. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can completely change that, because that’s just how fandom culture tends to be there. CPF and SF have different perspectives and priorities and with thousands of people involved, there will always be disagreements. Hopefully, when there are more activities again, everyone will have something happier to focus their energy on. Real life already gives us enough stress, we don’t need to collect extra stress from fandom too 💖💚

Hi XiaoXin!!
Idk if you know, but was there no interview/story on LXC’s Paris magazine this time? Or is it just not out yet? 😊

Dear XiaoXin!
I hope people online haven’t given you a hard time. I love your presence in this fandom so much. You’re the kindest fan i’ve ever seen and your translation is something no one can do. Your immense support for ZC is unmatched. 🩷💚 I sincerely hope you’ll be part of our little cyrcle for a long long time. There are people who cherish you so so much. Take your time, take good care of yourself and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. We all love you so so much!!! We’re always here for you, we’ll never leave 🩷💚
Thank you so much, love! 💖💚 I'm so grateful to have met such kind people through this fandom (the negative ones? I don't give a damn lol) ~ I'll keep doing my best at my own pace, so please don't worry too much. Let's continue supporting ZC together and make lots of happy memories! Sending you the biggest hug 🤍🫶

Hi XiaoXin!
Don’t scare us. Are you leaving soon? 🥺🥺🥺

Hi Xiaoxin, I've read some of your replies here even to people who, let's just say, said things so harsh that I don't think I could've handled them myself haha but you handled them so well! You never judged them, and you always responded with kindness and positivity, something this fandom really needs 🩷
I can see how maturely you deal with rumors and negativity surrounding zc. You're absolutely right, every fandom is made up of all kinds of people with countless different voices. We have to learn to filter what we see for the sake of our own mental well-being! I completely agree with your perspective. Thank you so much for being part of this fragile fandom haha your replies to worried fans have been so reassuring. They also make me feel relieved knowing you're surrounded by kind c-zcj and that warmth is passed on to us overseas fans as well 🤍 Thank you so much for everything you do! 💖💚
Thank you so much 🙇♀️💖💚 I just hope we can all enjoy supporting ZC a little more peacefully. Every fandom has different voices, so I always try to focus on the kind ones and not let the negativity take over 🤍 Thank you for trusting me and for always being so supportive too! Sending you a big hug 🫂🤗

Hi Xiaoxin, this is a c-zcj. I've been following you for quite a while and I really love your ZhanCheng content! I truly admire all the effort you put into translating and sharing their content with overseas fans. You've worked so hard!
Recently I've noticed that some accounts have been reposting content that shouldn't be reposted, such as paid bts photos, mmr's videos, and other materials whose original uploaders have clearly stated should not be shared outside the platform!! It's really disheartening to see some people ignore those and repost or steal other people's work without permission 🥲 Would you be willing to help spread the message and remind everyone to respect the original creators' wishes? We all want to keep the ZhanCheng community safe and healthy!! Many of the teachers who provide these precious materials are uncomfortable with their content being reposted to other platforms and we hope everyone can respect that! I know you from the support group and xiaohongshu. You've been with ZhanCheng since the very beginning and I'm truly grateful for everything you've done to help more overseas fans discover and support them 🩷💚

Hi Xiaoxin~ I'm ZCJ in Korea. I was wondering if the Zhancheng fanbase is planning to hold a birthday café event for Liu Xuancheng? If you know any infor, pls share for us. Thank you always 💖💚
little demons · 1mo
sorry for asking this matter, I hope you answer this question bc I'm a new fan and got a little confused of how the concept works(?). I heard some fans already paid for some behind the scenes. and regarding the new bts photos like the ones with the "dvo" watermark, is it the result of payment from fans or the production team released it just for obligation?
