Host: ���Is there any way to make chicken breast taste better?”
Xiao Zhan: “Nope. Chicken breast is just something you have to tough it out and eat as it is.”

Someone made a post asking why so many highly educated people are fans of Xiao Zhan, and the comments section was full of great answers.
• "I'm a chief physician. Does that count as highly educated? I've liked Xiao Zhan for two years. I like how cultured and humble he is, his presence, and the way he speaks. I especially enjoy listening to his interviews. He's truly different from others and stands out among entertainers."
• "I'm drawn to capable people, so that's why I like him. I admire someone who is cultured and well-mannered, highly self-disciplined, dedicated to his craft, clear-minded and insightful, humble and polite, sincere toward others, emotionally intelligent, grounded in his values, strong in every aspect, strict with himself, clear about his goals, and determined to achieve what he wants through his own efforts. His way of speaking is incredibly logical. The substance and cultural depth of his interviews are outstanding. He's very articulate. His looks are actually the least noteworthy of his strengths."
• "Outstanding people naturally appreciate and admire one another."
• "Because people who admire excellence don't have much patience for ignorance."
• "Virtue is never alone; it always attracts like-minded people. And when someone is this admirable, becoming a fan comes naturally."
• "Because we admire excellence and resonate with people on the same wavelength."
• "Because they have brains."
• "There are four people in our graduate student dorm. Two are die-hard fans of Xiao Zhan, and one is a casual supporter."
• "Of course it's because Xiao Zhan is outstanding."
• "Birds of a feather flock together."
• "Liking him makes you want to become as outstanding as he is."
• "People naturally appreciate good things. He really does have quite a lot of fans in the workplace. At my first job, a colleague who was a mother of two liked him. At my second job, my manager liked him. At my third job in the education and training industry, quite a few people liked him as well. I don't know whether he attracts highly educated people, but he certainly appeals to adult women."
• "Yes, I work in education. I like him a lot, and our teaching supervisor likes him too."
• "It's also about admiring strength and capability. There's another reason too: people are curious to see whether, in a world like this, especially in the entertainment industry where cliques and factions are everywhere, someone can succeed step by step through their own ability, without relying on any faction or clique, without selling out their principles, and without compromising who they are. As ordinary people with neither power nor wealth, we hope to see someone from an ordinary background rise to the top through hard work and perseverance."
My take? I think it's true. People on the same wavelength naturally gravitate toward one another. The qualities people admire in him often reflect the qualities they value in life. Whether it's his character, his work ethic, the way he speaks, or simply who he is, different people connect with different sides of him.

Was Patient No. 5’s encounter with Jiang Hong merely a plot device? I don’t think so. In my opinion, it was the scriptwriter’s way of asking an age-old question: If you knew your time was running out, how would you choose to live? #XiaoZhan#ADLAD
Even while carrying a terminal illness, even while knowing that his days were numbered, Patient No. 5 still chose to set out in search of answers about his own fate. More importantly, he never stopped longing to love and to be loved.
Whether love brings joy or the pain of parting, those emotions—beautiful or bittersweet—remain proof that we have truly lived.
As for Xiao Zhan, no amount of words could fully capture the emotions his performance stirred in me. Watching Patient No. 5 bend down to pick up Jiang Hong's letter and then struggle to stand again, I felt as though an invisible weight were pressing heavily against my chest.
Patient No. 5 will forever remain an unattainable dream of mine. Even so, the few scenes that have been revealed are already enough for me to know that I would have fallen deeply in love with this character.
Cao Yiwen: Xiao Zhan is an actor with an exceptionally high level of focus & he's also very detail-oriented. He actively offers us ideas & perspectives, so working with him is a complementary relationship. Our collaboration sparks inspiration and leads to even better results.

🌸 #XiaoZhan breaks 13 year barrier to actor nominations for ancient costume drama 🏆
on may 26th, the nomination list for the 31st shanghai tv festival magnolia awards was officially announced, with the ancient costume drama #LegendofZanghai receiving 6 nominations. among them, lead actor xiao zhan was nominated for best actor for his role as “zanghai” — becoming the first ancient costume drama actor to be nominated for the award in 13 years.
in recent years, ancient costume dramas haven’t performed well at the magnolia awards. however, this year, the 31st shanghai tv festival magnolia awards nomination list saw a significant turnaround for ancient costume dramas. of the 10 nominated best chinese tv series, four are ancient costume dramas — legend of zanghai, the legend of tang dynasty: chang’an, the peaceful year, and the great businessman — accounting for almost half of the nominations.
legend of zanghai is particularly noteworthy for its ingenious scriptwriting. the drama tells the story of the protagonist, zhinu, who after suffering the massacre of his entire family, goes into hiding under the alias zanghai — played by xiao zhan — for 10 years before returning to the capital to seek revenge. if it were merely a revenge story, it could easily fall into clichés. the brilliance of legend of zanghai lies in the fact that this revenge is not a simple act of quick retribution, but rather filled with twists and turns and struggles, profoundly showcasing the complexity of human nature. as the revenge plan progresses, zanghai’s inner world undergoes a significant transformation, from initial pure hatred to a gradual realization of the responsibility he bears.
because of the character’s complex inner world, the role of zang hai is difficult to portray, but xiao zhan, as the lead actor, delivers a satisfactory, even excellent, performance.
in the drama, zanghai carries the burden of hatred and is single-mindedly focused on revenge, exhibiting a restrained exterior. however, xiao zhan skillfully avoids simply portraying the character’s hatred, pain, and revenge instead allowing the audience to see a wise, gentle, and resilient young man beyond that. whether in character portrayal or dialogue delivery, xiao zhan’s performance is remarkably convincing.
xiao zhan accurately conveys the logic of zanghai’s growth and transformation. zanghai chooses to infiltrate the marquis’s mansion as a strategist, proceeding cautiously under the noses of his enemies. he befriends the son of his enemy and deals with the suspicions of various parties. in advancing his revenge plan and interacting with all sides, he begins to contemplate the meaning of revenge, gradually shifting from personal hatred to a compassionate heart for all living beings on the path of pursuing justice.
through his nuanced performance, xiao zhan showcases zanghai’s multifaceted personality and rich inner world, allowing the audience to see a flesh-and-blood, realistic, and three dimensional character. this performance absolutely deserves a best actor nomination.
the appeal of legend of zanghai also lies in its innovative integration of traditional cultural skills and strategic elements into the core of the plot, constructing a path distinct from the conventional “以武复仇” deeply captivating the audience.
from the moment zanghai begins learning his skills, whether it’s geomancy and architectural design or the art of diplomacy, all showcase the unique charm of traditional culture.
when zanghai arrives in the capital, as many as 18 kinds of intangible cultural heritage skills appear in the plot, from mortise and tenon architecture to medicinal puppetry, from kunqu opera singing to traditional ventriloquism, from shadow puppetry to qinhuai lanterns. these intangible cultural heritage skills appear one by one, eliciting amazement from the audience. the intangible cultural heritage elements in the drama not only allow viewers to ──
