Don't know if you guys have already heard of it or not, but people in China have begun to speak of a certain "happy family of three":

Yeah, "Lele's (that means Pan Zhanle's) family", consisting of Lele's Dad, a.k.a Sun Yang, and Lele's Mom, a.k.a Wang Shun.

"How did it come to this?" well,

1. OGG (= Olympic Games Gold) Sun Yang, Wang Shun and Pan Zhanle are the only three olympic gold medalists 🥇 on the Chinese men's swimming team (for now). So as far as their abilities are concerned (and because of the OGG exclusivity), they "form a unit/family".

2. Pan Zhanle's Idol

I mean, one cannot blame him, those stats are impressive:

(Though he looks up to Wang Shun as well.)

3. The "Zhejiang ABC"

Now, what do those Chinese vehicle registration plates have to do with these three men?

The answer is easy: Sun Yang comes from Hangzhou (A), Wang Shun from Ningbo (B), and Pan Zhanle from Wenzhou (C).

(People are predicting, that the next olympic gold medallist most probably is going to be somebody hailing from Shaoxing (D).)

4. Similar "record-breaking experiences"

Pan Zhanle and Sun Yang both have similar "record-breaking experience". Both of them first set new records in the world championships before doing so for the second time in the Olympics.

(5. the most important point [according to Chinese netizens]

Sun Yang and Wang Shun never denied the "accusation" that Pan Zhanle is their child.

You see the similarities. DO YOU SEE THEM?)😏😝

Whatever the case is, Sun Yang took it with good humor (or more like he tried not to break out in laughter) when he was being confronted with this on a live stream.

And the netizens have already mapped out the whole family by now:

...or more like the "four great families".

And yes, Mr. Balenciaga is the older brother.

....

Now,

PS: there is now a translated version of the somewhat confusing relationship chart.

the four great families..... and acquaintances

I shall take any request that was put forward and update the post with each new addition.

Perhaps we will end up with a global, international, "family tree"/relationship chart, perhaps this post will go under, no one knows.

But here it is:

I should perhaps still mention that this relationship charts does not reflect reality and is more or less the result of an accumulation of brain rot and/or a very active and imaginative fantasy.

This is all meant in good humor, there is no intention to harm anyone with it.

The Original Translation and Relationship Chart can be found here.

And if you want to know, how this all came to be, perhaps visit the post that I published before.

Could you mention the spirit foxes you know please? The best known is Su Daji, and I know the story of Jade Fox (she's so cool. She fought Erlang), but I've wanted to know more. I also knows about the fox spirits from Strange tales from a Chinese studio.

JTTW fox spirits die so fast sadly.

JTTW foxes are like the Red Shirts of demons

The earliest "maybe" fox spirit is Yu the Great's wife, the Girl of Tushan. Basically, when he arrived at Tushan, he saw a nine-tailed fox, heard the locals singing about it, and decided to marry a girl there.

There are two readings of the text: 1) the fox is just an auspicious sign from Heaven, telling Yu to get married, and 2) the fox is an avatar, or transformation of the Girl of Tushan. Later Qing legends certainly favor the second reading, with foxes referring to themselves as the descendents of Tushan.

The other "maybe" fox spirit is Chunhu("Pure Fox"), Houyi's wife. Now, I heard you asking: "But wait! Isn't Houyi's wife Chang'e?" Well...there are actually two "Yi" in Chinese mythos-history.

The "Yi" people are most familiar with, who shot down the Sun Crows, supposedly lived in the time of Sage King Yao, while the "Yi" married to Chunhu was from the Xia dynasty.

(Rough timeline: Yao —> Shun —> Yu the Great —> his son Qi, founder of the Xia dynasty)

Basically, Houyi usurped Qi's son, Tai Kang, and seized his throne, then Han Zhuo usurped and killed him while he was out hunting.

According to 左传 + Qu Yuan's 天问 and 离骚, Chunhu played a vital part in this: a dark-skinned beauty, she was originally Hebo's wife, until Houyi killed her husband with an arrow and forcefully seized her, then she plotted with Han Zhuo to murder Houyi and became his wife.

Since Chunhu could also be written as Xuanhu("Dark Fox"), some scholars suggested that her clan might have used a black fox as their totem or worshipped such a divine beast. Unlike the Girl of Tushan, the implication of her being an actual fox wasn't as strong, but she did fit into that "plotting temptress" stereotype that would later be connected to fox spirits.

There is this one strange trivia in the Northern-Southern dynasty 搜神记 that goes: "All foxes come from this one slutty woman in ancient times called Ah Zi(阿紫), who turned into a fox, therefore fox spirits often refer to themselves with that name too."

The Ming dynasty novel, 三遂平妖传, is all about this family of foxes and how they were behind Wang Ze's failed rebellion in the Song dynasty: "Sagely Old Lady", her daughter Hu Mei'er/Yong'er, and her son Hu Chu'er/Zuo Chu.

When they passed Wu Zetian's tomb, her ghost appeared in Sagely Old Lady's dream, telling her that she would soon reincarnate into a male body, and that Mei'er is actually the reincarnation of her paramour, Zhang Liulang, and they promised to be husband and wife in every life.

When she woke up, Mei'er was missing, so she just went on and cultivated 72 Daoist arts using the Heavenly Scroll this Egg Monk guy stole from a cave. Meanwhile, Mei'er landed in an enunch's garden, was adopted as his daughter, tried to charm the Crown Prince by disguising herself as a consort and got insta-killed by Guan Yu the guardian deity.

She reincarnated again as Yong'er, and reunited with Sagely Old Lady and her brother, who taught her Daoist arts and began to plot a rebellion. They managed to convince Wang Ze, a minor official, into leading it——who just happened to be Wu Zetian's reincarnation, so naturally Yong'er married him.

Alas, their rebellion was not to be: Egg Monk, disgusted by their behaviors, left to seek help from the Mystic Lady of the Nine Heavens, and, with the arts she taught, crushed the rebels.

Yong'er and Zuo Chu got struck dead by divine thunderbolts, while Sagely Old Lady was spared thanks to her fellow heavenly foxes' pleadings, but sentenced to guard the Heavenly Scroll forever.

This wouldn't be the first time Wu Zetian was associated with foxes: in the Qing dynasty novel, Flowers in the Mirror(镜花缘), she straight up is the Heart Moon Fox(心月狐) incarnate, one of the 28 Lunar Mansions.

She reincarnated because the two Sui emperors kept complaining in the Underworld about how they were usurped by the Tang, until the Celestial Court went "Okay, fine, we'll send one of our own to usurp the Tang dynasty too. Happy?"

Which, like Daji, is very much in line with the "A powerful woman? *gasp* She must be a fox demoness!" literary tradition.
