With a celebration to coincide with the wrap of Fated Hearts, his latest costume drama, this year, the birthday was celebrated on set in Hengdian over the weekend before October 29, the official D-day. (below: my Gif from footage posted on Apricity's X fanpages, linked)

 It was anticipated with flower and LED displays in several cities and countries (Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines...)    Games and a lucky draw on the day were prepared. On Weibo, profile images were changed to add a message,  or to form puzzles.
