This video about why C-pop is mostly ballads and why it’s quite challenging for C-pop to break into the international music scene is deceptively enlightening and educational. #music #cpop

Support the base and lift the glass/cup. This is how #DingYuxi toasts. His glass is only ever lower never higher. If you lower your cup, he lifts it. Equal respect & equal standing. Such a fine and down-to-earth person. #cdramas

Finished #TheRoadToSplendor. Thoughts: Fantastic, quality drama with great performances all round and a story that gets you discussing the plot and characters. It did so well telling the story of such a big group of characters. 🥰 #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #cdramas

#TheRoadToSplendor Ep 31 is so good but heartbreaking. Zhao Ling had to execute his sworn brother General Mo Yi to calm protests from Anzhou merchants & prove to His Majesty he’s his trusted aid not a man looking out for the interests of the northwest. Then he had to brand him a traitor 😭 #cdramas

The drama actually had Zhao Ling kill Tingyun’s father. Surprised, but Tingyun’s father did kill her mother. He deserved to be taken out. If only he wasn’t Tingyun’s father. Zhao Ling’s aura is different again. Absorbing watch. #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #TheRoadToSplendor #cdramas

Renovate imperial mausoleum at 100k but make it look like a million tael project amidst drought & tight finances. The million price tag is what gets out & causes public outrage. Zhao Ling gets stripped off his post. Funds transfer to drought relief. #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #TheRoadToSplendor #cdramas

A promo video for《爱在无尽夏》”Endless Summers” has come out. So curious about this drama. #DingYuxi plays a professor of criminology Shen Yan and #MengZiyi plays a “主持人” (host/presenter) Hao Nian. Read around. People are saying it’s urban suspense & a reunion of couple separated by fate #cdramas

His Majesty is so good to Zhao Ling. Ministers tried to impeach Zhao Ling because of rumours. He deliberately shifts focus to Grand Secretary who dozed off. Zhao Ling thanks Grand Secretary for his help & he’s like “How did I help? Wasn’t I asleep?” 🤣 #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #TheRoadToSplendor #cdramas

Looks like Zhao Ling & Tingyun going to get married. Proposal happens right after trial that clears them from rumours & when they’ve yet to clear the ice between them. (Drama does not like cheesy or cliché.) Just need to deal w/ father-in-law to be. #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #TheRoadToSplendor #cdramas

Wow, Tingyun’s father is horrible. He spread eloping rumours (incited by Madam Yu, she played a part) to bring down Tingyun and Zhao Ling over the loss of the Imperial Salt Censor post. He also keeps Tingyun’s mother locked up in the house. #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #TheRoadToSplendor #cdramas

Love rival, jealousy, clueless Zhao Ling, a bad father, scheming.

Zhao Ling takes on the task of reforming salt laws & must get Yan and Anzhou merchants on board without leaning one way or the other.

Can’t handle how amazing this scene is! Zhao Ling & Xie Tingyun meet through a privacy shield. Romance arc mixes with the main, interrupting it with a kill showing Zhao Ling’s state, dangers of his post, of his climb.

Zhao Ling’s been in the Capital all this time. Not one word or visit from him. Xie Tingyun only finds out through an arrest near her place. This scene is so authoritative!

Zhao Ling’s gone to war. Xie (Fu) Tingyun realises she didn’t love or cherish him enough. The separation arc has come in & the anticipation level is high. Because of a secret investigation, Zhao Ling returns & denies any ties to anyone. Need more eps! #TheRoadToSplendor #DingYuxi #DengEnxi #cdramas

Didn’t expect Madam Zuo and her brother Zuo Junjie to go down so soon. Zuo Junjie was quite pitiful in the end.

The way #TheRoadToSplendor brings in the love line between Zhao Ling & Fu Tingyun is pretty unique! An “ear kiss”. Didn’t quite catch it the first time then got it the second time.

We get the feeling #DingYuxi loves all forms of performance & art. He does cosplays, too. We think his Nick Wilde from Zootopia was very popular. We love them all. They’re all so attention-grabbing, but Zheng E and Bai Longma are our favs. Bai Longma feels pretty authentic. #cdramas #cosplay

Found this stage performance from Ding Yuxi’s Shanghai Theater Academy days where he plays an old man. The movements, voice, way he speaks, it’s so good. At the end, we can literally feel the distress of this old man. Just love watching him perform. He never fails to captivate. #DingYuxi #cdrama
