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.

Through the lens

Qin Haiyang x Reader TW: Mentions of cheating; No Beta, Just want to write anything

“How does it feel to have stanned a literal red flag?”

You frowned at the mocking question from your friend. He had been bugging you with endless mention of how your favorite professional swimmer ruined his image for being, apparently, a cheater. 

Of course, it stung. You’ve liked him since he first stood on the podium. 

It’s been 11 years. Eleven long years of admiring him diligently and quietly from the sidelines.

“I’m disappointed.” But what can you do? What should you feel instead other than being disappointed? Why does it have to matter to you? 

“You’ve bought the DSLR with your blood and sweat just to get a picture of him….so..what do you do with that?” Your friend pointed at your camera splayed on the sofa next to him. 

You sighed. “ Probably sell it online.” 

Your friend smirked at you. “Thought you’d still stick around. Great decision.” 

You stared at your camera aimlessly. 

—---------------------------------------------------------------

“Please please..I’ll treat you to this really fancy restaurant in Changde. A newly built resto! They specialize in this really good steamed fish. I’m sure you’ll like it! Just stand in for me okay? Huh?” Your college classmate who happens to be a swimming fan just like you kept on tagging your sleeve. 

You’ve seriously thought about quitting from being a fan but it was for a sum in exchange for good pictures of Wang Shun, the team leader of the Chinese National Swimming Team. 

“Just make sure I get 40% okay?” You caved in. Being a swimming fan capturing content every game gives you the opportunity to generate some sort of quick income. Some are being bought by entertainment agencies. You’re currently on tight cash these days after paying your rent so you didn’t spend too much time contemplating rejecting the offer. 

It’s your first time switching to take pictures of another swimmer. You stared a little longer on your camera, fiddling the lenses back and forth, feeling sad that this time, you’re not looking forward to seeing him  again. 

You scoff in the air when you’re left alone. “What are you even worried about? Your favorite athlete doesn’t even know you” You scolded yourself. 

—---------------------------------------------------------------

“Bring back the money, cheater!” A man shouted beside you. The crowd started to boo, some directed to the man beside you and the others, you know, are directed to Qin Haiyang, your cheater ex-favorite swimmer. 

Just as you look at the ranking board, you can’t help but be relieved. 

He’s done it again. 

Another gold medal. This time, for the 100m breaststroke. 

You seriously thought he couldn’t make it due to the scandal. You knew he’s not that strong mentally compared to his seniors, the Olympics showed you that. Despite his stoic stature and quiet confidence, he couldn’t handle too much pressure. What more that he’s been targeted for being disloyal to his girlfriend. 

“Wow! What a feat! Qin, you’ve done it again. What do you feel that you’ve been consistent with the 100m from the morning to this point?” The host’s voice was extra enthusiastic, you've noticed. 

The loud crowd didn’t stop. But you cannot make out what’s being said. Your focus maintains on him who’s proudly standing at the center of the podium, breathing heavily yet somehow his eyes are somewhere far from the competition that has just finished. 

“...I..I don’t feel anything..” Qin haiyang’s voice was quiet yet direct. You unconsciously sat upright and tried to dodge the banners in front of you held by the enthusiastic fans just to have a glimpse of him at the podium. 

—----------------------------------------------------------------

“Get ready for your questions, Wang Shun’s about to come out.” A staff blurts out with a huff. You notice he was the one who offered you a seat in the press corner. You were about to tell him you’re not a part of the press but you’ve guessed he mistook you to be one because of your professional camera lens. 

You’ve left it after reasoning that you’ll get a better view at your current place at the press corner. 

“Wang Shun! Wang Shun!” the crowd uproared. 

You stand upright and direct your lens at the Olympic medalist. You can’t help but admire how he looks even more handsome in person, despite knowing how he looks behind the cameras for years.

“Wah” You followed the athlete with your lens, completely immersed with getting the better angles for the pictures. 

You continuously move your camera along while focusing on the walking athlete, unaware that he’s about to go behind the blockages until someone you’ve been very familiar with appears on your camera screen. 

Qin Haiyang.

Still as handsome and prestine as ever. Standing over six feet tall. Confident but not airy. His wet hair appears to have been permed just the way he likes. 

Still the Qin Haiyang who’s using his eyes to send you signals you cannot fathom. 

Or maybe that’s just you. Maybe that’s just how you think for harboring a crush for so long to think those eyes mean anything. 

And you know you must stop it. Now. 

So you hastily move your lenses, deliberately away from his form, and directly following the other athlete re-emerging from the blockages. The crowd’s noise reverberated as Wang shun went closer to the press corner. 

You’ve been focusing on capturing Wang Shun until he left the press corner. You were about to leave when the staff yelled at you. 

“Qin Haiyang agreed to answer some questions, quick, just cover this really quick.” The staff signaled you to direct your camera at the athlete who’s getting closer.

You felt your throat getting dry. You tried to gulp but it hurt. You focus on the screen of your camera but as soon as his eyes directly look at the screen, you feel your knees weakening. You frowned at the strange reaction. You purse your lips and try to ignore his eyes. 

This will take less than 50 seconds. Yes..just..or maybe make it 30 seconds. Just make it quick!

“Do you have anything to say about the accusations against you?”

You frowned. Will he answer that question? He has been avoiding talking since the first day of the competition. There’s no way he will say something. 

“It’s fake news.” 

Qin haiyang blurted. Just like that. You didn’t look at anyone except at the screen of your camera. 

He isn’t staring at your lens this time. But you could feel his eyes directed at your way, by your peripheral view.

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.

everytime i see wang shun and pan zhanle interacting i think of this guy saying 乐乐爸乐乐妈 twice to the camera followed by silence 💀

[bemybaebaebae]

Wang Shun

[discordiansamba]

also. do you have any idea how insufferable the gaang (and iroh!) would all be the second they get even the slightest whiff of shun having anything close to romantic interest in someone? they would be so insufferable. sokka might actually have facial hair of his own now, but that does not stop him from dusting off the fake beard and mustache and revving up that old wang fire voice.

katara: why do you even still have that?

sokka: are you kidding? why wouldn't I still have this?

The On1y One

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The On1y One (2024, Taiwan)

Director: Liu Kuang Hui

Writers: Wang Yu Chen & Liu Kuang Hui (based on the novel by Mu Su Li)

Mini-review:

Okay, why did nobody tell me the director of Your Name Engraved Herein had made a whole-ass gay drama? Just from that fact, I already knew I would love this. It certainly has more of a BL vibe compared to the movie, probably due to the source material, but it still manages to avoid basically all the toxic tropes and stereotypes. I really appreciate when these type of dramas take as much time as necessary to properly flesh out the characters and their bond, which is what you get here. People looking for constant romance will be disappointed, but the leads have fantastic chemistry, and seeing their development is exactly what makes it special. But truly, the characters are so relatable; the show uses them to make some beautiful reflections on life and youth. My biggest complaint is that the pace does get a bit too slow from time to time. Still, The On1y One is a gorgeously made drama and I definitely hope that second season happens.
