[New Tang Dynasty Beijing time on August 14, 2021]Recently, mainland Chinese male artist Zhang Zhehan was exposed for taking photos in front of the Yasukuni Shrine and was criticized by many Chinese Communist Party media by name. Immediately, his film contract and 26 advertising endorsements were lifted.
According to Lu media reports, mainland netizens broke the news that Zhang Zhehan had visited the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan and attended a friend’s wedding at Nogi Shrine. These photos were picked up by netizens recently. Immediately, the little pinks attacked in a group, calling Zhang “a fine Japanese element and insulting China.”
Afterwards, friend Zhang Zhehan apologized for this on the social media Instagram, and said that Nogi Shrine is the place of choice for many Japanese to get married.
Zhang Zhehan himself issued a statement on Weibo on the afternoon of August 13 and apologized, stating that he was “ashamed of the once ignorant self, but also deeply apologized for previous misconduct.” “The photos I took showed serious hurt to the feelings of Chinese people. I also solemnly apologize for the content of this article, I’m sorry…”, I also emphasized that I am “not pro-Japanese” and “I am a Chinese.”
However, the Chinese Communist Party media did not let him go.
After Zhang Zhehan apologized, the “People’s Daily” published two comments in conjunction, saying that as a public figure, he lacks historical common sense… “If you commit a principled mistake, you can not pass the customs by simply apologizing, you must bear the due price.”
At the same time, the CCP CCTV, “Military Daily”, World Wide Web, and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League issued articles criticizing him.
The incident quickly fermented after the official media of the Chinese Communist Party entered, and the major brands endorsed by it have “cut” with him.
“Sohu Entertainment” said late on the 13th that as of that time, Zhang Zhehan’s 26 endorsements had all been terminated. According to incomplete statistics, these endorsements include Wahaha Group, Coca-Cola, Taobao, Longines, Pandora Jewelry, Maybelline, Xu Fuji, Kyoto Ninji Temple, Pretz and so on.
The movie “Peacekeeping Team” and the variety show “The Last Winner” also announced the termination of their cooperation.
The 30-year-old Zhang Zhehan graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and made his 12-year debut. His performance of “Shanhe Ling”, which was broadcast in February this year, became popular, but it happened in less than six months.
