The tendency to discuss things in extremes continues to obscure actual substantive subject matter. In the last decade there emerged this idea of “cancellation” when someone did something wholly objectionable or personally distasteful. There are two separate things, the former objectively a valid reason and the latter a personal choice. The swift and wholesale cancellation last year in 2021 of C-actor Zhang Zhe Han felt like the latter but framed as the former. He frequented Japan, visited shrines there housing Japanese military leaders who are categorized as war criminals outside of Japan but venerated as heroes within, and appeared to have a serious lack of awareness of just how much Mainland Chinese HATE anything associated with wartime Japan. He got eviscerated so so hard by the C-media and C-netizens he was erased from C-ent completely in less than 2 days. Even alleged rapist criminal Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu) took a few more days to get cancelled. But even in China I guess cancelled is never truly cancelled and this week Zhang Zhe Han posted on Instagram for the first time in 7 months. He wrote “Find your voice, find yourself. True strength is always stronger then perfect strength.” I don’t know if this toe dipping will work but ultimately his audience is Mainland China so he will have to win the netizens back there to return.
