Tao's Most Recent Blog Entry

It is because Tao is like this that sometimes I can't help but feel shameful as a fan, especially when I have to be a stalker and post EVERYTHING on this blog.

Anyhow, below is the translation of Tao's most recent (and longest) blog entry ever.

[To My Best Friends]
5 years have passed. The change is huge, isn’t it? Actually, I have never forgotten about you guys.

I still can’t change the habit of coming online to blog and change my display pictures, even though I have already taken up this profession. I don’t want to change my original self, even though I hesitated on writing this entry and changing to this display picture for a long time.

Forget it, this is my everyday life habit. You guys understand.

Watching all of you slowly growing up, I’m really happy. I want to go to work with you guys everyday, eat with you guys and shop with you guys. But it seems like I still can’t do these things now. I’m so envious of all of you. I am always saying this, “as long as I can meet you guys.”

Nowadays, no matter what I do, there are so many people watching and commenting. Good or bad, so on and so forth. Actually, I wasn’t used to it at first, but now I’ve grown accustomed to it.

In a short span of 3 days, I’ve spent the fastest 3 days with all of you. Of course, to me. Hehe.

I felt like a normal person, without any worries. Really happy, really contented. Because you guys are by my side. Dad and mum also told me that after I left, the house turned cold and lonely again. It seems so.

This part is dedicated to Chen, (Not our Dancing Machine)

Chen Chen, six years of friendship, having separated for 2 years… it feels uncomfortable, right? Your world, that world you can’t hear or speak in. I like how you communicate using the text on phone, I like communicating with you through hand gestures. When I’m with you, I can laugh without saying anything. Really, thank you. I seriously didn’t dare to think about it, during these 3 days I could only eat with you, bring you to shop and meet my family. Accompanying me by my side, in the car, at the hotel, at the beach, at the cafe, you used my phone to take down everything. I swear as long as I live for another day, I will never lose any of these photos.

What I promised you, I will keep my end of the deal. Believe me. Wherever you want to go, I will bring you there. Whatever you want to eat, we will go there to eat it. In the future, we can play until whenever you want.

The moment the plane took off, while listening to music and looking at the photos we took, I still couldn’t help but to let my tears fall again. Even though I’ve promised many people not to cry anymore, I feel that only after I let my tears fall, I can then leave for another country to work hard with a peace of mind.

I’m here now, I’m ready to start sprinting towards my new goal. You guys too, right?

Let’s work hard together.

Maybe there are a lot of people who don’t understand why do I still casually use QQ and upload my own photos etc when I’m working in this profession…

Because. This is what I like, and what I want to do. I will do it, no matter what profession. In private, I am someone like this, a boy who is going to turn 20 very soon. There will be a lot of people that don’t like it, there will be a lot of people who like it. No matter what, I thank all of you~ Making me grow up and giving me confidence along the way.

Even if I lose everything, I still have my family and the 6 of you, my true friends. Also, the 11 brothers by my side who are fighting this war with me and living with me. And those people who are in love with a group called EXO. All these, are they not enough? I’m so contented~~

Anyway, as long our friendship doesn’t change. Or change for the better~ See you next time~

2013.

Kris and Lay Updates on Recent Earthquake

Kris' Renren Update

[TRANS]

"When disaster strikes, help comes from all quarters; We got through the Wenchuan earthquake, I believe that we can get through the Ya An earthquake all the same, let us pray for those we have loss, and cheer on those who survived, let us shout: Go Sichuan, Go Ya An! Not because of anything else, just because I am Chinese!" well said reposting for consolation and encouragement

Lay's Weibo Update

[TRANS]

"I would like to convey my respect to all the rescue workers at the front line, to all the money and goods donators Thank you all Because of your loving hearts our motherland has become a warmer place Thank you all Sichuan brothers and sisters Fighting I will continue to pray for you all."

Earthquake in Ya An

As we all know, a tremendous earthquake (think "Sichuan earthquake") occurred on Luhan's birthday (20th April) in Ya'An, China.

Due to this, some ignorant EXO fans joked about the Ya'An earthquake happening because of Luhan's birthday. The comments were visible to the public which resulted in people bashing Luhan and his fans. However, it is safe to say that Luhan is not affected by this issue as informed by Luhan's friend.

[TRANS:]

"老高cobby: Reply @守护兴鹿 Yes, thank you for your concern towards Luhan. He isn't deeply affected, just very worried about the victims in Ya'An, praying for them, wishing."


----

EXO fans halted celebrating Luhan's birthday and went into rescue mode instead and collected donations for the unfortunate victims of the Ya'An earthquake.
13 Luhan fansites united to donate food and money!
This touching act made it into the newspapers that will be printed and sold all throughout China!

Editor of the newspaper says that this week's entertainment section (of the newspaper) will be focusing on Luhan's fans' contribution to the society and the rescue aid. He even added that Luhan's fans were very kind!

(but that's because Luhan is kind, right? Though birthday celebrations were halted, isn't this a great birthday present for our kind Luhan??! ^^ )
