Archive of Lay AOLay birthday project archiveoflay.com To Yixing, Across time, you have filled the name “Zhang Yixing” with stories and significance. Thank you for being Zhang Yixing. It is our privilege as Xbacks to have walked alongside you through all these years. You often reflect on what it truly means to be an artist. How fortunate we Xbacks are to have photography, words, music, film, and television to preserve every chapter of your journey. Looking back through the years, we see the young boy who carried a dream in his heart and a love for his craft deep within him; we see the teenager dancing to “Nobody” on the school anniversary stage; we see the trainee who trained day and night with sandbags strapped to his body, bearing injuries and pressure on his own, staking everything on his dream and never letting up through years of relentless practice. We see the Little Sheep of Go Fighting!, once innocent and wholehearted, grow through experience into the perceptive, composed Little Fox. We also see you, amid the noise and turmoil of the world, choosing carefully at every crossroads and remaining true to the convictions you have always carried. The world sees only the brilliance you shine with on stage, but we understand the countless hardships you have borne and the difficult choices you have made behind the scenes. Through it all, you have remained true to the wholehearted spirit of a creator, forging your own path one step at a time. We have encountered you across different platforms, programmes, and works, yet you have always felt like a treasure that can never be fully uncovered. With every step closer, there is always something new to discover, another surprise waiting to be found. On Tieba, you are “加帅(Jiashuai),” the one who joins everyone in racing to claim the first comment spot. On Weibo, you often leave behind comments that are both sincere and endearingly sweet. On Bilibili, you are the king of contrast, capable of being as sexy and charming as you are cute, captivating us with both your tenderness and your commanding presence. On “DD,” your countless magnetic performances, including “Big Bridal Sedan Chair,” have given passers-by the chance to discover you, come to know you, and eventually fall in love with you. And across these very same platforms, we have left behind countless traces of our love for you, too: video edits pieced together with care, long essays written on Zhihu, and the countless heartfelt posts and memories shared on Weibo. We has chosen words as our bridge, crossing the boundaries of language to carefully transcribe and translate your interviews and the thoughts you express on stage, carrying your voice across mountains and seas to every corner of the world where someone is waiting to hear it. This encounter has never been a one-sided gaze from afar. We have accompanied one another, helping each other grow into better versions of ourselves. Even if, in the very next moment, you are standing on a stage before a captivated world, radiating such beauty and such unrestrained, vibrant life, we will still see every version of you that came before. Your life is like a continuous, graceful curve, stretching ever forward while holding fast to the same essence at its core. The passing years have gifted you experience and sharpened your edge, yet they have never changed the truest part of who you are. That is why you will always be the one and only pearl of the Xbacks. Here, among your Xbacks, you will always be free to be your most authentic self. Love has no conditions… May every Xback who loves you, whether a senior Xback who has accompanied you along the way or a newbie Xback who has only just found you, be able to cross the boundaries of time, platforms, and language.
