Before, I only thought Wu Yanzu was very handsome.
Now it is found that he is not only handsome, but also handsome in character.
When it comes to Wu Yanzu, the name of "entertaining people", it is really not in vain.
The other day, Daniel Wu went to the toy section of the mall. When he came back, he was very angry and directly criticized Barbie on Weibo and ins: it was a very stereotyped impression that Asians had a career as a panda doctor and a violinist.
Also complained: this is either a non-Asian fooling around, or the designer is an Asian with intergenerational trauma.
Why is Daniel Wu so angry about setting the Asian profession as a doctor and violinist?
Because Americans encourage young people to "you can be anyone" and want them to try different jobs, to innovate, to take risks, to explore.
But when it comes to Asians, they become a rigid, old-fashioned, uninnovative group.
It is like saying that Asian parents only like civil servants with stable jobs and do not accept their children to be independent and special people with their own ideas.
Of course, people are infuriated by the narrowness and prejudice of this concept.
In this regard, netizens also cheered on and supported Daniel Wu:
"No one needs to set it. All stereotypes are man-made and are biased in nature. I used to like Daniel Wu, but now I like it even more! "
"it's hard to imagine that Weibo stars are still alive today."
If you dare to be angry, you should be aggrieved. This is the norm of Daniel Wu.
Archaeological ancestors will find that this star with the title of "Ten Thousand Years Male God" is far more patriotic than we think.
When it comes to Wu's patriotism, many people will think of a reward order three years ago.
It goes back to January 2021.
One day in January, in San Francisco, a 19-year-old man attacked an 84-year-old Thai man for no reason. At that time, the old man was walking, because there was no precaution, the old man hit his head on the sidewalk and died.
Why would a man attack an unarmed old man?
No one announced the answer.
However, two days later, there were three more violent attacks on the elderly. The ages of the old people are 91, 60 and 55, and they are all Asian.
Although the three old people are all in good health, it is strange that the local police have not charged the suspect more than a week after the incident.
The United States, which has always boasted the rule of law, has stood idly by.
Since the police have been slow to act, Wu Yanzu decided to do it himself.
He teamed up with Hollywood Asian actor Kim Daxian to issue a reward of $25000 for clues to the murder of Asian elderly people.
Due to the lack of time, attacks on Asians have occurred one after another.
Half a month ago, Fan Yiran, a 30-year-old Chinese doctoral student studying abroad, was shot in the head and killed instantly in a car in an apartment parking lot in Chicago.
Then, on the evening of February 6, another 26-year-old Chinese graduate student, Jiang Kaiwen, was shot dead in the streets of New Haven, Connecticut.
High achiever, who is in his youth and one in a million, has lost his life so inexplicably, which is really sad!
The tragedy happened because former President Trump called novel coronavirus a "Chinese virus" and some Americans were biased against Asian Americans, CNN said.
At the time, about 1 / 3 of Asians said they had suffered abuse and discrimination during the outbreak.
Seeing that the situation was still spreading, Wu Yanzu resolutely stood up and spoke out.
He said that since COVID-19 appeared, there has been a marked increase in the number of attacks on Asians.
He issued the reward because he did not see the actions of the authorities and did not see them stop the crime.
"I can't stand this kind of thing anymore. We must fight back and take action. "
During the Spring Festival in 2021, Daniel Wu arrived in Chinatown, Oakland, California.
He not only condemned the actions of the rioters and appeased the Asian people in Chinatown, but also sent blue whistles to shops to sound the whistle for help in the event of an emergency.
This move moved the Asian people living abroad.
But in fact, this is not the first time that Daniel Wu has offered a reward to catch the murderer.
In 2020, an 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped by two masked people while taking out trash in front of her house in Brooklyn. They also set his body on fire, and the old man's back was burned.
Daniel Wu immediately offered a reward of $15000 for the arrest of the murderer.
Sure enough, there must be a brave man under the big prize.
Two months later, the suspect was arrested and the old man gradually recovered after treatment.
After that, Wu started various activities to protect the elderly of Asian descent.
Distribute English T-shirts with the words "stop hating Asians" to the public to raise money against discrimination against Asians.
It can be said that Daniel Wu, who is of Chinese descent, has been speaking for his compatriots for many years, contributing money and efforts.
It is really not easy to walk smoothly in the applause and flowers, but to empathize with the hardships and difficulties of our compatriots.
But Daniel Wu did it.
In fact, although he was born in the United States, Wu Yanzu's blood is Chinese.
His parents are both Chinese and originally from Shanghai. The father is an electrical engineer and the mother is a professor of psychology at the university. The couple emigrated to the United States in their early years.
His parents taught him from an early age: "you can do whatever you want, but never forget that you are Chinese, which is very important."
You can't forget your roots or your culture. "
Daniel Wu said that the word "Daniel" in his name means "remember your ancestors".
His family name is Wu Yan X, which is to make everyone remember their ancestors, their own culture and their own country.
Therefore, when Hong Kong was reunited with China in 1997, Daniel Wu, who had just graduated from the Department of Architecture of the University of Oregon in the United States, came to Hong Kong from the United States to witness this sacred moment in history.
I feel so proud.
But he did not expect that this decision would change the course of his whole life.
At that time, 21-year-old Wu Yanzu wanted to find a part-time job to earn some travel expenses, so he took some fashion photos at the suggestion of a friend. As a result, he got into the Hong Kong entertainment industry by mistake.
And I stayed in Hong Kong for 20 years.
With his 360-degree appearance, acting skills and word-of-mouth praise, he soon became a big star sought after by everyone.
However, Wu Yanzu did not like excitement. In private, he is very low-key and helpful.
In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Wu immediately donated 100000 yuan and went to the local area to help build houses for two years in a row.
In the first year, he stayed in the disaster area for 30 days.
Because the university majored in architecture, Wu Yanzu has his own unique views on building structure, earthquake-proof system, and so on.
Drawing, moving materials, driving a tractor and working as a bricklayer, no matter the hard work or the meticulous work, are easy to grasp, and there is no star shelf at all.
In one month, he and his team completed 16 multi-storey houses.
The local people were so moved that they didn't expect a big star to be so simple and approachable.
He also said on a program: "all the other stars are being interviewed, only Daniel Wu is earnestly building brick by brick."
In fact, Wu came to the mainland the day after the Wenchuan earthquake and asked for support in the earthquake area.
But because the disaster area is too dangerous, the Red Cross and other organizations rejected his request.
Wu Yanzu said: helping others is not for the approval of others, but to make yourself feel comfortable.
As early as 2005, some newspapers published Wu's heroic deeds a few years ago.
At that time, he saw a drunken man flirting with a girl in a nightclub, so he hurriedly came forward to stop it.
As a result, the man pretended to be crazy by the strength of the wine, directly swung the wine bottle and smashed it at Wu's head, smashed a big blood mouth out of Wu's forehead and went to the hospital for six stitches.
A few years later, the wound still had a superficial mark.
At the beginning of 2022, a netizen uploaded a photo of Wu Yanzu volunteering in Chinatown, adding: 'He's not on a whim, he's a long-term active volunteer.'
During the Chinese New year parade in Chinatown in San Francisco, Daniel Wu was elected Grand Marshal. Dressed in a Mao suit, he looked proud.
Locals say that the Grand Marshal can only be held by people of high morality and high respect.
It can be seen that Daniel Wu's prestige among Chinese Americans is indeed extraordinary.
It is said that the entertainment circle is a mixture of dragons and snakes, the good and the bad. But if you dare to be tough with the president, I'm afraid you can't find a few.
But Daniel Wu is one of them.
On May 12, 2020, Trump sent a speechless tweet:
"Asian-Americans are very angry about what China has done to our country and the world, and Chinese-Americans are the angriest of all Asian-Americans, and I don't blame them."
Because he often makes a big deal and has no idea, most of the time the public laughs at what he says.
But Daniel Wu did not.
After reading this tweet, immediately angry at Trump: you! No, no! Yes! Dai! Watch! I! Guys!
There are many patriotic stars like Wu in the entertainment industry, but there are also many negative examples.
For example, Zhao Lixin, who used to entertain the "Uncle Top".
In early April 2019, Zhao Lixin suddenly asked on Weibo, "Why did the Anglo-French coalition forces burn Old Summer Palace?" It attracted a lot of onlookers.
A kind netizen answered his question patiently.
Zhao Lixin asked, "what about the Forbidden City? Did you forget or didn't you bring flint? "
The tone is frivolous and offensive.
Originally thought that Zhao Lixin would reflect on his words and deeds, but unexpectedly, only a few days later he had a relapse of his old problem:
"when the Japanese occupied Beijing for eight years, why didn't they snatch the cultural relics of the Imperial Palace and burn it? Is this in line with the nature of the aggressor? "
Some netizens once again kindly reminded that the precious cultural relics of the Imperial Palace had been packed and transferred long before the Japanese invaders invaded.
But Zhao Lixin refused to accept this explanation.
He also issued a special article, attributing everything to "the emotional problems of the aggressors."
He said that because the Japanese army occupied Nanjing for too long and the Japanese army was very grumpy, the soldiers burned and looted.
When attacking Beijing, because of the great disparity in strength between the two sides, he Yingqin had no choice but to sign the "he Mei Treaty" and withdrew voluntarily.
Therefore, he concluded: "the Japanese attack on Beijing is bloodless, and there will be no retaliation."
This time, his remarks completely ignited the anger of netizens.
Some netizens said that Zhao Lixin was washing white for the invaders.
Others questioned that he was a Japanese spy and denied responsibility for war crimes.
Ziguang Pavilion, the Chinese Communist Youth League and other media have also criticized Zhao Lixin one after another.
After that, several TV dramas he starred in, some changed roles, some changed faces, and some were banned.
When people reach middle age, they finally become popular, and as a result, they bring themselves down.
It is not a unique instance, but has its counterpart.
In July 2021, Zhang Zhe-Han became popular because of a "Mountain and River order".
But a few months later, some netizens revealed that Zhang Zhehan had attended a friend's wedding at Japan's Naimi Shrine and took a photo with anti-China representative Mrs. Dai Wei.
As soon as the photo came out, there was a public outcry.
Zhang Zhihan immediately topped the lawyer's statement on the social platform, stressing that he was patriotic.
But not long after, he was slapped in the face.
Some netizens picked up his early photos taken in front of the Yasukuni Shrine, and even on National Day 2018, he posted "return to the embrace of the Motherland" on Weibo, but the picture was in Ginza, Japan.
What a "patriot"!
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Zhang Zhe-Han had no way to deny it, so he had to come out and apologize.
He said he lacked knowledge of local buildings and history, took pictures carelessly, and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.
But this belated confession obviously didn't work.
Netizens did not buy it, and then the state media followed up, criticizing Zhang Zhe Han's "ignorant" pro-Japanese behavior.
The traffic star, who originally had a good star, cooled quickly after a flash in the pan.
Everything gained by luck is lost by strength after all.
For them, popularity is accidental, house collapse is inevitable.
In the eyes of many people, stars are idols, beings who are high above, looked up to and worshipped.
However, chasing a star should not only look at its appearance, but also whether its core is healthy or not.
At least in the face of major right and wrong, the dignity of the country and the nation does not allow provocation.
As People's Daily said:
As a Chinese, do not even understand the most basic national history, how to be a good public figure, how to guide young people with positive energy?
Stars should set a good example!
If everyone is like Daniel Wu, dare to be tough with evil forces, dare to assume social responsibility, and set an example and example for the public, the world will certainly be a better place.
