On October 1, National Day, well-known young actor Liu Haoran participated in a fashion show, wearing clothing brands accused of insulting China, a move that caused a strong response online, and many netizens questioned his patriotic stance.
As a "boyfriend in the system" loved by the audience, why did Liu Haoran choose to wear controversial brand clothing to appear publicly on National Day?
01
Liu Haoran wore the Hua brand on National Day to walk the catwalk
On the day of National Day, Liu Haoran was in Paris, walking the catwalk for the international luxury brand Balenciaga, which has been controversial, causing heated discussions among netizens, this is not the first time Balenciaga has been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of suspected insults to China.
In 2018, a Chinese customer who was shopping at a Balenciaga store was unreasonably cut by several foreigners, and the customer questioned the person who cut the queue, but was not only not stopped by the store staff, but also roughly treated by the person who cut the queue.
The clerk drove Chinese customers out of the door, arrogantly and said "Chinese don't buy shoes again", which sparked strong condemnation on the Internet, and Chinese netizens signed a boycott of the brand.
In 2020, Balenciaga launched a set of Qixi advertisements accused of insulting Chinese culture, which again attracted criticism, and in 2021, the brand was also boycotted in Europe and the United States because of a skeuomorphic children's advertisement that was directed to bad directions.
Despite the severe damage to its reputation, Balenciaga does not seem to be taking consumer sentiment seriously, and it has repeatedly resorted to self-serving practices in an attempt to calm things out over time.
And Liu Haoran walked the show for this brand on such a day of unity and joy among the Chinese people, which is tantamount to pouring salt on the wounds of the victims and deepening the public's disappointment.
As a role model for society, celebrities' words and deeds will have a profound impact on the public, and they should judge the situation and carefully choose their partners.
In today's China, the overall quality and self-confidence of the people are higher than ever, and the arrogance and insults of any person or brand will no longer be tolerated, and every public figure should lead by example, speak up for justice and pass on positive values.
We must not use the banner of patriotism while privately benefiting controversial foreign brands, and let brand owners realize that they need to respect every consumer, respect Chinese culture, and everyone's words and deeds are a responsibility to themselves and society.
It is hoped that Liu Haoran can also learn from this controversy, examine his position in Vanity Fair, and not be blinded by interests, a public figure with a sense of social responsibility should speak out for social progress, not promote unhealthy tendencies.

"Boyfriend in the system" Liu Haoran
In fact, the reason why Liu Haoran has such a big opinion this incident is mainly his identity within the system, with the increase of employment pressure for college graduates, the work in the system is more and more sought after by young people.
At the same time, many powerful actors have also passed examinations to enter units such as literary troupes and become a new generation of "boyfriends in the system", which reflects the unique charm of compilation work in today's society.
For college graduates who have just entered the society, the stable income and five social insurance and one housing fund treatment provided by civil servants and public institutions are particularly attractive.
Compared with the current situation of frequent layoffs in Internet companies, working within the system means an iron rice bowl, and this stability is of great significance to many fresh graduates in the context of economic development entering the new normal.
In addition, unlike the highly competitive private sector environment, the working atmosphere within the system is more relaxed and friendly to newcomers.
For college students who have just left campus, this can greatly reduce the pressure of adapting to employment, and entering the system through open recruitment means that young people can avoid the implicit rules of using networks to seek work.
Unlike ordinary college students, the reason why power idols have taken the exam is that it not only brings them a stable income, but also the opportunity to promote professional and technical titles.
For example, obtaining the honorary title of national first-class actor will greatly enhance their status in the literary and artistic world and the possibility of obtaining resources for their works.
From this point of view, the appeal of the exam editor to entertainers is that it can strengthen their professional development, and Liu Haoran laid the foundation for his future screen career by entering the Coal Mine Cultural Troupe.
In addition, successfully passing the national examination to enter the system can also show the artist's solid internal strength and moral cultivation, which helps maintain the positive image of idols in the context of the continuous fermentation of scandals in the entertainment industry, such as Liu Haoran's title of "boyfriend in the system" in the student group, which is a portrayal of the positive impact of his successful examination.
With the advent of the new media era, the current idols must not only be outstanding in acting skills, but also personal cultivation has received higher attention, and the examination editor can show that stars have good moral character and discipline, and are willing to accept the assessment and training of state organs, which is undoubtedly of positive exemplary significance.
It not only provides a stable source of income, but also contains long-term career development value, of course, the test editor also needs candidates to have solid knowledge and comprehensive quality, not a package of "golden keys".

Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu are in love
But such a "boyfriend in the system" was revealed to surprise everyone, and the relationship between Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu became the focus of heated discussions in the entertainment industry.
The tacit cooperation between the two at work and the signs of frequent interaction in life seem to confirm the existence of this celebrity couple's relationship.
However, they have always adopted a low-key attitude, neither denying nor publicly confirming it, and this stable and secret mode of getting along has aroused curiosity and speculation in the outside world.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, there were already rumors that Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu were dating, and on September 1 this year, after the two had a party with friends, Zhou Dongyu was witnessed coming to Liu Haoran's home alone in a car, and then Liu Haoran was busy socializing and did not go home until late at night.
This seems to confirm that there is some kind of secret intimacy between them, and recently, a set of videos revealed by paparazzi, which was filmed in August last year and Liu Haoran used the access card of Zhou Dongyu's house to enter her community.
He entered at 10 o'clock that night and left in the early morning of the next day, which shows that the two spent a good night together, and on September 21 this year, the two appeared again on the tennis court near Liu Haoran's house, seemingly ordinary sports practice, but in fact frequent alone time.
In fact, as powerful actors, the two have successfully collaborated in many works, and as early as in the movie "Flame on the Plain", they showed a good tacit understanding.
This may also become an opportunity for the further development of the relationship between the two, in the promotional activities of the film "Burning Winter", the video of Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu playing badminton together leaked, Liu Haoran's eyes are full of sincere smiles, although Zhou Dongyu is 6 years older than Liu Haoran, but her petite figure and youthful vitality do not show the slightest age, and the two stand together very well.
In fact, the two have cooperated a few years ago, in 2017, they co-starred in the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", although there are not many scenes but have already seen the beginning, when the movie was released, the two went to the cinema to watch the movie and take a photo together, and they hugged and celebrated excitedly after the film.
In 2018, the two co-starred again in the movie "Flame on the Plain", this time with more rival scenes, in the crew interview, Liu Haoran was asked what he liked most about Zhou Dongyu, he smiled and said: "I like her very much, she is very interesting, Sphinx".
Zhou Dongyu also bluntly said that Liu Haoran is a very serious and responsible actor, which is reassuring, and this attitude of mutual appreciation has undoubtedly laid the foundation for the warming of the relationship between the two.
Recently, there are also rumors that the two have been living together for a while, which shows that the relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and there is even news that Liu Haoran recently appeared near Zhou Dongyu's hometown, suspected of going to see his parents.
The details need to be verified, though, and the low-key couple may not respond positively, but by all indications, their relationship is steadily evolving and is ripe enough to think about the future.
Whether true or not, the relationship between Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu has caused widespread discussion, they have each emerged in the film and television industry, their strong acting skills have been recognized, and this relationship has also made people more interested in the private life of the two.

How a star does it is patriotic
In fact, romance belongs to the celebrity's own private affairs, and should not be interfered with, but as a public figure, you should indeed give the public positive energy guidance.
Recently, two patriotic news about celebrities have attracted widespread attention, one is actor Wu Jing using an Apple mobile phone to take photos with Jackie Chan in public, and the other is singer Wang Jiaer standing up for China's image on overseas solo songs.
For Wu Jing, netizens and the public have different views, some believe that he has long endorsed domestic mobile phone brands, and the public use of Apple mobile phones is inconsistent with this.
Indeed, Wu Jing has been acting as the spokesperson of a domestic mobile phone brand for many years, and has strongly recommended the brand's mobile phone in various advertising and publicity activities.
But at a recent public event, he used an Apple phone to take a photo with Jackie Chan, which is not very consistent with his endorsement, and supporters of Mr. Wu argue that personal consumption choices should not be linked to patriotism.
After all, it is now the era of market economy, which mobile phone to use is not necessarily related to love or not patriotism, both views have their truth, but in the final analysis, the key is to see whether the overall words and deeds of a public figure are consistent, if you consider the problem from the perspective of national interests for a long time, personal small actions are still understandable.
In contrast, Wang Jiaer's performance is even more admirable, according to reports, Wang Jiaer was born in Hong Kong into a sports family, his mother is a former Chinese team gymnast star, and his father is a famous fencer.
At the age of 17, Wang Jiaer won the gold medal in fencing at the Asian Youth Championships, and was expected to be selected for the Chinese national team to prepare for the Olympics, but then he chose to give up and went to South Korea to pursue his dream of becoming a singer, and after 4 years of hard training, he finally debuted as a member of the group.
Over the years, Wang Jiaer has repeatedly expressed his support for China in a high-profile manner, once wearing the Chinese flag at concerts, saying that he wants to be a "flag guard", and he has also corrected the host's misidentification of him as a Korean player on a Korean variety show to clarify that he is a Chinese.
Faced by cyber attacks and physical threats from Hong Kong independence elements, Wang Jiaer has never flinched, and when holding a solo concert in the UK, he denounced Western media for spreading rumors and smearing China, showing a sense of justice and responsibility in his bones.
As an artist developing overseas, Wang Jiaer does not have to take such a position, which is more likely to attract misunderstanding by some foreign fans, but he did not choose to remain silent or control his speech, but bravely spoke out, because some things are more important than personal interests.
In the face of morality and justice, he chose to stand firm, this spirit is worth learning, of course, his actions have also caused some controversy, some people question that he is playing the "patriotic" card to win attention, but at least judging from his experience and performance so far, this doubt is superfluous.
Of course, true patriotism should not stop at slogans and statements, but more importantly, really contribute to the development of the nation and the country.
Not only artists, but everyone should practice patriotism with practical actions, whether it is scientific and technological innovation, teaching and education, business hard work, or other fields, they can exert their strength.
For example, during the fight against the new crown epidemic this year, many white angels fought on the front line, and business owners produced their own masks to support the whole country, and these selfless dedication also reflected sincere patriotism.
True patriotism needs to be practiced for a long time in ordinary work and life, so that the country can prosper and the people live a prosperous life, and only when every Chinese person can show patriotism and responsibility, the Chinese nation can show the most powerful strength and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
