The reason for the long term affection for Xiao Zhan is that he was an innocent victim of unwarranted jealousy from others, he has always remained positive and encouraged his fans and admirers to focus on their own lives and growth, and he himself focuses on his own growth and journey towards being a wonderful role model and guiding light for those that follow him. Xiao Zhan’s positivity, humility, and genuine kindness stands out amidst the manipulative and unfairly competitive environment of the current Chinese industry. Xiao Zhan strikes me as one of the few current popular artists that actually has principles, a backbone, and confidence without arrogance and without underhanded news.
