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!
Do you know (since you have more access to chinese apps) if fans are planning some banners for LXC event on 14th? I think i saw something. I was just thinking, i hope it’s not disrespectful towards the actors, who should be more important that day if we’re completely honest. Not that i don’t support LXC, i love him soooo much. Just that, that day is really about the play and the actors involved. I hope fans respect that and appreciate the play and don’t buy tickets just to see LXC and wave their banners.
Thank tou XiaoXin 🩷💚
Hi! 🩷💚 Yes, from what I've seen, some fansites/individual fans are preparing small support items, similar to what happened during the Teresa Teng tribute event before. Things like hand fans, banners, or small freebies are pretty common :)
This is a formal theatre event, so fans generally understand the rules and know how to behave in that environment~ many fans are attending partly because they want to support Zheng'er, and from what I've observed, cfans are usually quite aware of the difference between a formal performance and a fan event. So I don't expect people to be waving banners during the play or doing anything that would disrupt the performance 😊

Hi XiaoXin!
When are we going to see the 1st anniversary project? No rush, i’m just soooo excited. It’s my first time participating in something ZC related and i can’t wait to see the final result 🩷💚
Also, saw some new RL bts clips, i guess they are maybe going to release some new ones. But honestly, i don’t really feel so excited about those anymore. I have moved on. I think it’s also the knowledge that all we see in those clips happened already 2 years ago and it doesn’t really make me feel anything anymore 🤣 i hope RL team can let fans move on as well, because they keep releasing new cards and stuff… i understand, that the show had a great success, but to keep milking the same thing over and over gets a bit too much and boring.
Thank youuuuu XiaoXin for everything! 🩷💚
thank you for joining the anniversary project! 🥹 It makes me really happy to see so many people participating, especially those joining zc project for the first time! The video design is actually already finished and passed the review 😍 I'm just waiting to release everything together with the official announcement. If all goes according to plan, it should be shared sometime next week. Please look forward to it! 😊
As for the rl bts, I kind of understand what you mean :) I think everyone experiences fandom differently though, some people still enjoy collecting old content, while others are more interested in what's happening now and what's coming next 😚
Personally, my focus right now is definitely on the anniversary project and whatever new things they have ahead of them 💖💚
Thank you again for your support! I'm really excited for everyone to finally see what we've been working on 🥰🥳
little demons · 8d
Xiaoxin, just curious actually 🥺 Looking at the donation progress, we haven't reached 50% yet, which makes me a little sad. I guess maybe some zcjs have left because there haven't been many moments recently? Or maybe I'm just overthinking 😭 If the donations don't reach 3000 rmb, will the project be canceled?
I can see how much effort you've put into this project so I'd feel really bad if it couldn't happen. You've been working so hard for all of us. Sometimes I honestly don't know how I can support zc without people like you helping to organize these projects 💖💚 Thank you for everything you've done so far 🫂
thank you 🥺💖💚 Honestly, this situation is unavoidable, I kind of understand it too. Everyone's circumstances are diff and some people may simply have diff financial abilities or priorities right now... As for the project, don't worry, it won't be canceled. 😊 From the very beginning, I already planned that if the donations weren't enough, I would cover the remaining payment myself 🤫
This is ZC's 1st anniversary, so I really want to make it happen no matter what! I guess you could say this will probably be the last big spending project I'll personally do for them hahaha 😂
Ofc every donation helps and is greatly appreciated, but please don't feel pressured. The most important thing is that everyone supports within their own means and enjoys the anniversary together 🫶 And thank you for your kind words 🫂💖💚 It really means a lot. I'm just one fan doing what I can because I love them too 🥰
little demons · 9d
Xiaoxin!!! I love your post about "on this day" 😆😆 it's like bringing back ZC memories to new fans!! There are many things I don’t know about them and I learned new things everyday from your post 💖💚 thank you so much for your existence in this fandom 🫶🫶

Hi XiaoXin!
Since i follow you on x i can see you fangirling over double helix 2nd couple 😄 But i got curious, because i don’t know how chinese entertainment works. Is them doing those livestreams together and appearing together part of the drama promotion? I just got curious, because why weren’t ZhanXhang allowed to do things like that? Or is it just a different approach on how to promote the show and everyone does it differently? Or can it be more of an artists choice how much they interact?
Hi! 😊 From what I've seen, it's mostly a matter of diff companies, diff artists, and diff career plans :) ZX and LXC are from diff companies, and their companies may have very diff ideas about promotion and long-term career development, not every company wants to push a cp focused route after a drama ends, especially if they have diff goals for the artists~
Sometimes when both actors are under the same company, or when the companies involved agree on a similar promotional strategy, it's much easier to arrange regular livestreams, joint events, fan meetings, and ongoing cp content. In those cases, the company may actively choose to continue building the pairing's popularity :)
So in case of ZX and LXC, it's more that their situation, companies, and likely their career paths are different, so the approach ended up being different as well. Every cp gets promoted a little differently depending on the people and companies involved 😊

Hi XiaoXin!
Random question. What does that beans 🫘 emoji mean? I have seen you using it before on some posts 😄
little demons · 5d
Xinxin, I don't want to give any link from today's ZC trending topic but is it wf fighting each other again? or there's other fandom that dislike ZC? because I've seen quite a lot of ZC negative posts, thought they were solo fans
little demons · 12d
Hi, sorry for my English, but I wanted to thank you for the work you do for us international fans. ZC are really important to me, I love and admire them so much, but not knowing Chinese has always been difficult for me to follow them (Google Translate is unreliable). Thanks to your translations, I've learned to know them better and now I love them even more. I've been following you since the beginning, but I'm super shy, I've never had the courage to comment on your posts, and my account has always been private, until a couple of days ago when I decided to be brave and Comment your post, because I think it's a way to show you how grateful I am for your hard work. It's a very long message, sorry, last thing, I really admire your way of being a fan, you support them wholeheartedly, and above all, you respect them as artists and as people, without ever getting caught up in stupid gossip or fan wars. Let's be friends 😭💖💚
thank you for being brave enough to leave a comment after all this time! 🤗 The fact that u decided to step out of your comfort zone means a lot to me 💖💚 also don't worry if I don't always reply to comments, sometimes I simply don't see them 🙃 I turned off my notif a long time ago bc there were too many random/negative things I didn't want to read every day, but I always read messages here 🫶
I know how difficult it can be to follow artists when you don't understand the language... I've been on the other side of that language barrier before 😵💫
As for being friends... of course! Meeting kind people from all over the world who somehow ended up loving the same two people is amazing 🩷💚 Thank you for finally saying hello after all this time!
little demons · 13d
Thank you so much XiaoXin!
Whenever any kind of event takes place, whether it’s an offline or online (like ZX today’s online event, answering comments) i always feel like an outsider. I think a lot of international fans feel this way from time to time because a lot of us don’t have any access to Chinese social media (apps etc). And with offline events, since a lot of us are from far far away, we can’t even attend those events. I know for myself, that i’ll never be able to meet them in person. It’s sad. But i know i’m not alone in this.
But because of you, i feel a little bit closer to them. There are moments when i forget that i’m a little bit of an outsider in this situation. And it’s all thanks to you ❤️
💖💚 Thank you love! I think many inter fans feel this way at some point :')
But I've always believed that being a fan isn't measured by distance. Some fans can attend every event, some fans can send comments directly, some fans can see them in person & some fans support them quietly from thousands of kilometers away, none of those forms of support are worth more or less than the others :)
And please don't think of yourself as an outsider, you care about them, support them, spend your time following their schedule, that already makes you part of this fandom, regardless of where you live or what language you speak!
I'm just one person posting translations on the internet, the reason this space feels warm is bc people like you are here too 🩷💚 so thank you for walking this journey with us 🫶
little demons · 15d
Xinxin, hi! I hope you're healthy and always happy ❤️ Looking back, I honestly have so much respect for you as a fellow zc fan. I feel like I haven't really done much haha but your dedication to zc since the very beginning has truly shown me what an amazing person you are!!
Not only have you sacrificed so much of your time and energy but you've also spent a lot to support them. You've provided fellow fans with translations, shared so much information and accompanied us through both the difficult and happy moments with your positivity. For that, I really want to applaud you 👏🫶
I hope the negativity from certain fans won't affect you too much. I know you've had to deal with it and it honestly makes me sad to think that you've had to read those comments when you've done absolutely nothing wrong.
So I sincerely wish you happiness, good health, and all the best. Please stay with us for a long time 😆 Thank you so much, Xinxin 🥹💖💚
Xinxin is crying again today 😭 Thank you so much!!! I just keep doing what I can because I genuinely enjoy supporting them and sharing things with fellow zcj 💖💚 and reading a message like this feels a little surreal!
Tbh I don't think of it as sacrifice, everything I've done has been my own choice and I've been fortunate enough to have the time, ability, and opportunities to contribute in my own way 🤏 If anything, I'm grateful that what I share can be useful to others 🙏
I've been around long enough that I've learned not to take everything to heart, not everyone will agree with me and that's okay 🫡 I know why I started, what my intentions are and what kind of space I want to create. That's enough for me!
Thank you for wishing me happiness and good health 😊 I hope the same for you as well. May your days be filled with good things, good people, and lots of reasons to smile 🥹🩷💚
