It was not his fault, okay?

A MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD FROM AN EXOTIC

[130420] A fan speaking up about Luhan being mistreated on weibo. [TEXT TRANS] Just give me five minutes of your time, okay? For those who are willing to scroll down, thanks. For the first two minutes, I’d like to briefly introduce to you who Luhan is.

He is from Beijing. In April 2012, he debuted as a member of SM’s new group EXO. He left for Korea in 2008. At that time, he was only 18. Something big happened that year. Wenchuan earthquake. The whole country was worried. He donated his living expenses, he even wrote a diary in cyworld (Korea’s qq), as follows:

Wen Premier once said: A very small problem, when multiplied by 1.3billion will become a big problem. A very large amount, when divided by 1.3billion will become a small amount. Now we’re gonna say: A very small amount of love, when multiplied by 1.3billion will become a love ocean! A very big problem, when divided by 1.3billion will become insignificant! Let this be our slogan for the rescue drive! As you stretch out your hand to save the victims, spread this slogan to those you know, let’s fight this together! Thanks!!

After 5 years, the scene that everyone doesn’t wish to see reenacted itself, and he, was pushed to the heart of the struggle. The boy who was worried about his country with an empty stomach while in a foreign land that year, now, still overseas, changes his Weibo description to: Praying for the victims of the disaster, hope everyone is fine.

He who turned 23 today, definitely have more to say.

At the 3-4th minute, I would like to tell you about his fans. In our eyes, Luhan is pretty, though he insists that he is a manly Beijing man. Our Luhan loves soccer, he loves Manchester United the most, he said, “Ten years together, forever the Red devils. He is very loyal, he will even blush when you confess your love for him loudly, he doesn’t know how to please his fans, he always says the same line: Take care of your body, wear more/thicker clothes, thank you all, love you all. Many girls like him, ‘00 liners, ’90s liners„ ’80s liners, or even older noona fans.

Today is his birthday, some younger fans said ignorant comments which made people angry. After that, older fans started to apologise at lightning speed.

Also, maybe you guys don’t bother to know, but I still want to say, Luhan fansites of all scales have donated nearly 20000RMB in his name. And hundreds of individual fans have donated 50, 100, and even thousands. Luhan’s fans knew that it was going to rain and already bought raincoats to send them to the disaster area at 4 o’ clock. At 7 o’ clock, Luhan’s fans pooled their money to buy rescue items for the victims. Within half an hour, they’ve managed to pool 10000RMB. They would buy the items as fast as possible and send them to Ya An.

And before his birthday, for the past year, Luhan’s fans did their best for various charitable organisations, for the old folks, animals, the poor, and the young. They bought food for the old, bought clothings for them and even sang songs. They sent blankets for the animals and played with them. They bought stationery, notebooks and books for the kids. They went to every area, all because of a boy called Luhan, they went there to become a better person. We are all Chinese, we are doing stuff to make a difference.

Ya An earthquake, we are all frantically refreshing our timelines to help call and look for people. But it seemed like you guys don’t care about these, you caught those younger fans who are immature, and ignored the majority of us who are crying for the victims, who are cheering the victims on.

I would like to hold on to your hands, we want to become one with you all. We share the same feeling of loving the country, please don’t push us away.

At the last minute, let me share a story with you all. At the side of a deer, grew a patch of wild vegetables and poisoned mushrooms. Then came a drought and there were no food left. Someone came, the poisoned mushrooms were eye-catching and were taken away.

After that someone got poisoned, and everyone came looking for the deer. Everyone trashed him, scolded him and put the blame on him.

But the deer couldn’t talk, he could only look at the people with a gentle look on his face. The wild vegetables are secretly in love with the deer, thus they forced themselves to secrete glistening dew to attract the people’s attention. Please eat us, please eat us, we are not poisonous.

-

Because of love, we keep on giving regardless of everything. Fans to idols are like water to fish. The fish are grateful for the water for letting him live, and growing up with him. The water only replies in ripples, “Because I love you.”

This is turning into a distorted confession. Thank you for reading.

Ya An hwaiting. China hwaiting. Once again, I apologise for those brainless comments made by ignorant fans.

Of course, this doesn’t apply to those who are just riding on the wave and criticising without even knowing the issue. It is not scary to follow, but the scary thing is when you don’t speak humanely.
