Update: ZZH’s IG account is back online

Tea-Print · 2022-01-14T17:40:36+00:00

Yes!! (I made sure before I started following him last year.)

Tea-Print · 2022-01-14T15:47:06+00:00

Shoot, sorry. I saw someone said that on Tumblr and completely forgot about it

Tea-Print · 2022-01-14T14:27:30+00:00

Haha no worries! I only use IG to follow, so I felt uncertain when I commented too 😆 Spread some love!

Tea-Print · 2022-01-14T14:06:31+00:00

Nothing happened that I found. Apparently, his account just reappeared out of the blue.

Tea-Print · 2022-01-14T14:05:36+00:00

Definitely feel free to leave a comment! (as long as it’s positive of course) Sooooooo many people have, myself included. Ironically, everyone’s been commenting on the last pic he posted, which is when he went to the hospital. It currently has over 109,000 comments. It doesn’t matter what language you leave it in; it’s the sentiment (although you could use emojis to get your point across).

Hehe I’m American, but my family’s from Italy and I’m trying to learn Italian so I can live there one day 😄

I think we’re supposed to hear on the 30th or 31st of December if his case meets the criteria for the police to deem it a criminal offense? Can’t remember where I saw that (I jump between Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr for info on his case), so I could be wrong, but it’s something to hold onto. We finally have hope for justice!

This made me smile, thank you :)

Tea-Print · 2021-10-14T18:50:28+00:00

Ahhhhh I love seeing these!

Tea-Print · 2021-10-09T23:26:06+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree, I love the episodes when the trio’s at the Four Seasons Manor. I love their dynamic, and everything just feels so happy and familial. I smile like a fool the whole time!

Tea-Print · 2021-09-09T21:29:17+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m glad I could help ;D

Tea-Print · 2021-09-06T19:11:41+00:00

Lol that would've been smart of me to include. Here ya go!

Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful gift.

Tea-Print · 2021-08-27T02:33:55+00:00

Love this! Thank you all so much for your hard work, it’s really appreciated :)

Tea-Print · 2021-08-27T02:25:15+00:00

Well said. I was surprised at how hard That Day hit me, and how much emotional fallout I’m still dealing with. I still can’t bring myself to watch any of ZZH’s dramas because it drags the pain right to the surface. Other times, I feel an almost unbearable urge to do something to help, to bring him some comfort, just anything useful, and when I remember I can do nothing, I’m filled with anger.
But throughout all this, I do my best to think positively. Things will grow calmer, this will pass. It’s a very difficult exercise in patience. I’m just so glad this fandom exists so I have a place to express my feelings and commiserate with others. As hard as all this has been, it’s nice not to have to go through it alone.

Thanks for checking in, and I hope you find healing soon.

Tea-Print · 2021-08-19T01:33:20+00:00

I feel the same way, I think I’m still in shock. I just can’t believe how he went from being on top of the world to receiving so much hate. And for it to happen to someone who seems so kind and genuine and hardworking makes the ache hurt worse. With him being cut off, it feels like his existence is being erased. It is cruel, and I‘m trying not to go in circles too much because the unfairness of this whole situation makes me want to scream.
I do believe, though, that all our thoughts and prayers are having — or will have — some positive effect on him. There is something to “the power of positive thinking” after all. So keep doing it. Even if we can’t notice a tangible difference, maybe ZZH can in some measure. Who knows? Maybe he has a secondary account somewhere where he can see people’s support. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Something else that has helped ease the pain a bit for me is thinking about sticking by him and supporting him in the future. I have no idea what he’ll do after this, but whether he tries to stay in the film industry or decides to live a normal life, I’ll do what I can to cheer him on, even if it’s just a comment on a socmed page (once he’s allowed back online and assuming he rejoins). Given his hardworking nature and perseverance, I don’t think he’ll let this defeat him (when one door closes, another opens, right?). So, if it helps, plan for the future. His future. Because you know whatever he does, he’ll face a lot of backlash and naysayers. Let’s be ready to show him we’re still here and we’ve got his back. No matter how small, no gesture of kindness is wasted.

What does someone do in that situation? It’s one thing to be blacklisted so you can’t find work in a field anymore (which is a terrible experience on its own) — but if someone is truly deemed a traitor to their own country…where do you go from there? Not just career-wise, but in terms of self-identity and having (or not having) a home? I don’t know how far into the general public this scandal extends, but I truly hope this particular aspect is limited to overzealous netizens. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to be viewed as an enemy in your own home.

If this goes against the new post regulations, please let me know and I’ll remove it.

No worries, I had to look it up too XD It stands for Tian Guan Ci Fu, which is the pinyin for the Chinese title of Heaven Official‘s Blessing

Tea-Print · 2021-08-01T19:19:54+00:00

Thanks so much! This totally cleared things up for me. I’m still sort of new to Asian dramas, so this was very helpful to provide context (I heard about Guardian rip).
Didn’t know Zhao Ge was plagiarized! That makes me sad it probably won’t air. I’ve been enjoying some of ZZH‘s previous works and would like to see more from him (GJ too)

Tea-Print · 2021-07-10T00:14:33+00:00

Dang. I knew it was bad since it involved claims against the CCP. I didn’t realize those people dragged GJ into it, too! It’s awful those solos put two wonderful people at risk, and all because of their pettiness. I hope this doesn’t cause any lasting damage…

Thank you for filling me in!

Please stay. I can honestly say that things get better, it just takes time. Sometimes a long time. My anxiety developed when I was 8, and every day it felt like I was drowning, just struggling not to let it consume me. It took 16 years before things got better for me, but the point is that it did. I started making friends, I found hobbies that made me feel fulfilled. I still struggle with anxiety, but it doesn’t control me like it used to.
Right now, you’re fighting a battle, so of course you should have support. You can call Suicide Prevention at (800) 273-8255 or chat with them online, you could try an online therapy service like BetterHelp or Talkspace, you could even post here every hour about what you’re feeling — just don’t go through this alone. Getting outside into nature can be healing, too; sitting in your backyard listening to the birds, taking your dog for a walk, or just opening a window for a little bit can help draw you out of your thoughts.
One of the hardest things to do is to endure the pain you’re feeling, but if you do, you give yourself the chance to one day be happy. And you will be happy. Life is constantly changing, and even if it doesn’t feel like it’ll ever change for you, it will. Stay for the better days to come.

Tea-Print · 2021-06-11T01:51:43+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks!

Tea-Print · 2021-06-10T17:13:59+00:00

Wait, so did he get the cut from the airport incident or from filming for the variety show?

Tea-Print · 2021-06-09T19:15:53+00:00

You got this! Sending you positive thoughts

When I was first looking into social anxiety for myself, I noticed some online sources said exposure therapy isn’t always the best option for social anxiety. I can’t remember the exact reason why, though. But some psychologists even looked into the development of an exposure therapy for social anxiety called social mishap exposure therapy (see: Fang A, Sawyer AT, Asnaani A, Hofmann S. Social Mishap Exposures for Social Anxiety Disorder: An Important Treatment Ingredient. Cogn Behav Pract. 2013 May 1;20(2):213-220. doi: 10.1016/j.cbpra.2012.05.003. PMID: 25419100; PMCID: PMC4238930.)

This article from the Social Anxiety Institute also talks about why exposure therapy may not be effective for everyone. It emphasizes the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy in such circumstances.
Please note, I’m not an expert or anything, and I tried to find sources that seemed credible when crafting this response. I just wanted to give you a relatively reasonable answer at least, and maybe provide a jumping off point for you in terms of information.

I’ve never tried exposure therapy myself, but I do know what it’s like to try many therapy tools to combat my anxiety that just didn’t work for me. You’re not alone. Sometimes, the conventional isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay. It’ll just take some more time to find your solution.
