While others change from innocent to mature images through more sexy photos, Xianzi shows her growth through doing good.

After returning to her home province of Guangxi to experience becoming a volunteer teacher, singer Xianzi 弦子returned with a song about her experience. Xianzi said that children are the future, and that she hopes that her music will allow more people to become aware of the issues with village education. Xianzi’s clear and warm voice calls out to the listener to be a bit braver and to take action. “No matter what difficulties we face, just be a bit braver, and we can continue on,” said Xianzi to QQ

Vicki Zhao Wei – Most popular actress; upon viewing a video summary of her ten years as an actress:

My greatest reward is that I found the meaning to my life. I think living in this world, everyone has a purpose in their lives, be it the the feeling of parents to their child or a doctor to his patients. In these ten years, I found the value in my life. Although my purpose is not as amazing as that of a scientist, but I think my life was a worthwhile one.

Chen Kun – most popular male actor

Actually, I’m late to mature. I always thought that I should act in roles that I want to, like in Mei Lan Fang, but unfortuantely I missed it. I realized that in life, there are other roles we must act as. Thank you to everyone who has supported me to this day. Whether you’re a fan of my acting, singing, or you’re just someone who silently supports me, I hope you’ll continue to support me. I’ll do my best for you guys, because I learned to enjoy my profession now.
