I also want to see him every year, at least in two shows per year, if more is not possible. How about us that…
You can download app rednote (xiaohongshu),it's available internationally, has auto translation function. He has account on it, and his fans update his working videos EVERYDAY. It's a very useful and popular app in china!
poor baby, i've been fighting for so many days now on rednote with people in china đ i'm really mad to see…
There are still a few posts support him in Rednote, much better than Weibo đ. A lot of Weibo marketing accounts are being paid to deliberately post negative content about Zhang Linghe.

â¤ď¸If youâd like to know more about Zhang Linghe, Iâd be more than happy to share. Youâre also welcome to pass it on to others, so more international audiences can understand who he really is and wonât be easily misled by rumors.
â¤ď¸For those who are curious about why Zhang Linghe has been facing unfair editing and targeted hate during the broadcast of Pursuit of Jade, hereâs an explanation:
In many cases, investors initially use an actorâs popularityâlike Zhang Lingheâsâto attract attention, and then gradually shift the focus by giving more screen time to supporting roles, often to promote actors from their own companies.
Also, just to clarify, Zhang Linghe doesnât come from a powerful background or have strong industry connections. The only support system he has is his agencyâbut even that wasnât always supportive. His agency just treats him like a cash cow.
Zhang Linghe is actually something of an outlier in the entertainment industry. He didnât study actingâhis major was Electronic Engineeringâand he doesnât come from an entertainment industry-connected family. That means he has no backing or network to support him.
Many other actors, on the other hand, have extensive connections: classmates from acting schools, teachers, industry friends. Some come from wealthy families, while others have family connections that help them enter the industry and receive support from established seniors.
In that sense, Zhang Linghe is not from the same âworldâ as them. Heâs more like a scholar who stepped into the entertainment industry, not only intelligent, but also good-looking, with a great physique and solid acting skills. Heâs on a whole different level, outshining many other male actors.
Because of that, he has faced a lot of exclusion and suppression. With the broadcast of POJ, fan communities of many young male actors have been aggressively attacking him. The angles of criticism are so forced that they almost seem absurdâsome even blame him for being too handsome, arguing that a general shouldnât be attractive but should look rougher instead. Theyâre even organizing to target his next drama Overdo.
In the past 20 years, Iâve never seen this level of cyberbully in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Right now, his fame is putting him under immense pressureâitâs like a child walking through a crowded market holding gold, surrounded by people who want to take it from him.
đTo be honest, one of the most heartbreaking things is that he truly cares about his fans.
When fans said they hoped to see him on screen every year, and even wished he would keep acting until heâs 80, he agreed to it. Since then, heâs been working tirelesslyâbecause he doesnât want to let their expectations down, and wants to give back the same amount of love he receives.
Even after filming until late at night, sometimes past midnight, he still goes on Weibo to share updates about his day, reply to fansâ comments, and interact with them like friends.
This level of sincerity is something Iâve never seen in other male actors. (I donât mean any disrespect to other male actorsâitâs just that I personally think Zhang Linghe stands out more.)
From what you described, I think your friend may have given you inaccurate information. I am Chinese, and most people in China really enjoy costume dramasâthey are actually the most popular genre. War dramas or period dramas tend to be watched more by older audiences. The success of POJ lies in the fact that it is watched by people of all ages, from the elderly to children, not just young viewers. To be honest, the information your friend shared doesnât fully reflect the reality.
Thanks for the reminder. I just canât stand seeing a good person being misunderstood and cyberbullied, especially by people who donât actually know him, yet still confidently judge him from a moral high ground.
I guess your friend might dislike Zhang Linghe. If you could see Chinese social media platforms like Douyin or Xiaohongshu, you would know how popular he is in Chinaâhe is currently one of the most popular young actors. Because of this, fans of other male actors often target him online.
If you ever travel to China, you would probably be surprised by how widely recognized and popular he is. His posters can also be seen in many places, including subway stations and shopping malls across China. His fan base spans all age groups, from children to the elderly.
Because there're already many audience shipping Reba and ZLH, they look very match in look. They have to keep distance. In fact, at many public events, he cannot appear too warm or overly friendly with female celebrities, otherwise it could easily lead to dating rumors. This is also required by his management company. If such rumors affect his work or cause losses to the agency, he may even be held accountable.
Reba may seem distant on screen, but she is actually a very kind person. Everyone in this variety show has become good friends and still keeps in touch privately. She just cannot appear too close with male co-stars on camera, especially ZLH, he's too handsome. Otherwise it could lead to dating rumors. But there're already audience shipping them.
