The Hamburg police confirmed with the Consulate General
The actor has been found, personal safety
Recently, a Chinese actor of the Hamburg Ballet went missing. The Chinese Embassy in Germany and the Consulate General in Hamburg attached great importance to the report. The Consulate General immediately activated the emergency response mechanism, expressed its high concern to the Hamburg police, and urged the police to make every effort to investigate and effectively protect the safety of Chinese citizens. The Consulate General also maintains close communication with relevant domestic departments and the families of the parties concerned, and provides necessary assistance to the families. On the morning of the 10th, the Hamburg police confirmed to the Consulate General that the actor had been found and was in good health.
It is reported that 21-year-old Zhang Lin did not go home after finishing the rehearsal at 1:30 p.m. on January 5, and no one saw her again.
Subsequently, the Hamburg Ballet had called the police, and Zhang Lin's family was also preparing to go to Germany.
Many people on Sina Weibo and Xiaohongshu also reprinted this missing person information.
Some netizens said: The situation is true, and her work and life in Hamburg are very normal, she has played a new drama and a new role, and it is a terrible situation to suddenly lose contact for no reason, please spread!
Due to a number of online kidnapping cases against Chinese students in recent years, Zhang Lin's disappearance has once again attracted attention to such cases. As early as 2017, there were a number of virtual scams in Canada. Chinese students who disappeared in the United States late last year were later found to have been involved in an online kidnapping case.
Some netizens on social media said that they had received the blackmail video, but did not say whether it was Zhang Lin's relatives or friends who received the video.
According to the introduction on the official website of the Hamburg Ballet, Zhang Lin graduated from the High School Affiliated to the Beijing Dance Academy and was a dark horse of the graduates of that high school, and won the fourth place in the 2020 Lausanne International Ballet Competition in Switzerland with the moving performance "Giselle". After studying at the Hamburg Ballet School in Germany, he signed a contract with the Hamburg Ballet in 2022, played the Chinese bird in "The Nutcracker", and played an important role in the ballet "Jane Eyre" for the first time on December 8 last year.
Many netizens expressed while forwarding the news: I hope it is just a false alarm, and everything is safe.
Someone on Xiaohongshu went to the vicinity of the last place where Zhang Lin was witnessed, and there were many missing person notices posted there.
