Hello Rainbowsky,

Can you tell me what heat index is? When cdramas get released a lot of people talk about this including the drama team and I don’t really understand what it means.

Hi Anon,

It's used to describe how much hype a drama is generating. How much it is being viewed, mentioned, recommended, shared on social media, etc. etc. Basically - how popular is it?

No one knows for sure how those numbers are determined, but it's likely that every platform uses a slightly different formula. And there's no 'universal heat index', either. There's the Tencent heat index, the iQIYI heat index, etc.

Ultimately it's a bit of a hype/PR thing, and somewhat meaningless outside the platform that's sharing the info (and frankly, somewhat meaningless within the platform, too).

Platforms talk about the heat index in hopes of generating a higher heat index. Kind of similar to how claiming that tickets for an event are selling fast will generally increase ticket sales, or how hearing that a new restaurant is lined up down the block will make people want to get in line to check it out.

People are inherently sheep, and they are drawn to things other people are into. If they think something is popular, they will want to check it out. So platforms will make something seem popular in order to try to make it become popular.

(Which isn't to say that dramas with a high heat index aren't popular, just to say that ultimately it's all a lot of fluff, and can't tell you whether you'll enjoy a drama or not.)

When the hardest person to forgive is yourself, remember this. You are human. You are not perfect. You will make the wrong decisions, experience low points, and even be the bad guy in someone else's story, but that doesn't mean you must be defined by that. It's time to let it go. Whether it's shame, regret, bitterness, embarrassment, memories of failed scenarios, or anger that you hold against yourself - you have to realize that forgiveness of self and acceptance of experiences is needed for you to be free. If you've learned, repented, changed, and grown since then, there is no need to suffer, condemn, judge, or hinder yourself any longer. Find the greater purpose of the pain in your past, so you can have peace and wisdom in your present and future. It is time to move forward in forgiveness.

"Pride is a person having too high an opinion of himself. Pride is the first sin that ever entered into the universe, and the last sin that is rooted out. Pride is the worst sin. It is the most secret of all sins. There is no other matter in which the heart is more deceitful and unsearchable. Alas, how much pride the best have in their hearts! Pride is God’s most stubborn enemy! There is no sin so much like the devil as pride. It is a secret and subtle sin, and appears in a great many shapes which are undetected and unsuspected." - Jonathan Edwards

WTF, America?

(Trigger warning-profanity) At this point in my life, when I thought I had seen it all from politicians, this really is my WTF moment in life. It’s been 4 years since January 6, and right now, while people are STILL being arrested for their role in the insurrection that he personally encouraged and instigated, Donald Trump is the assumed front runner for the Republican presidential…

What’s an entertainment ban in China?

That's a really broad, vague question.

There are many entertainment restrictions in China, so this question could be answered in multiple ways depending on the context you're asking about.

Disclaimer: these are tricky, politically-charged topics, and verified information can be difficult or impossible to find. What follows is my understanding based on my study of this industry over the past few years, and will of course reflect my views and values. YMMV.

I think maybe the likeliest context you were asking about is the 'ban' around specific national days or events, when people do not share or discuss topics related to entertainment or other frivolous subjects out of respect for the occasion. Fans are asked not to post about their idol at that time, as it is a sign of irreverence and disrespect and can lead to trouble for that star.

There are a wide variety of restrictions around entertainment for censorship reasons. What people are allowed to do, wear and say, who is allowed to participate in particular types of roles, etc.

There are certain entertainers who, because of their behavior or the behavior of their fans, may be quietly or openly banned from certain types of public roles or appearances, or whose projects or status in the industry might be put on hold temporarily or permanently. The severity varies depending on the situation. Zhang Zehan is someone most readers will remember as being 'cancelled' fairly comprehensively in this way.

China's entertainment industry is tightly managed by the government, with a stated goal to help shape and guide the values and behavior of the population and embody communist ideals. Entertainers who are not deemed appropriate role models, or who show through fan behavior that they aren't able to appropriately guide people onto righteous paths will come heavily under the scrutiny/punishment of the government and of the public, so these things are not trivial concerns.

If an artist's fans don't properly observe national occasions, for example, and they post a lot and discuss a lot about their star on a national day of mourning or a date of significance to the party, they would be putting that star at serious risk of being cancelled both by the government and by the public.

Over the past few years the government has openly targeted fan culture and has been cracking down heavily on it. Fan groups are viewed as leading young people astray, causing major disruptions and problems, corroding social values and overall needing to be brought under control. Many restrictions, policies and statements from the government have been enacted toward this end.

The government takes a very dim view of any group that can rapidly mobilize based on shared ideas or values that are not government-sanctioned. LGBTQ groups have been heavily targeted in recent years for this reason. Pride parades are no longer allowed, and pro-LGBTQ groups have been shut down without any warning.

It's not because homosexuality is 'illegal' or 'banned' as many Westerners assume. Homosexuality is legal in China and there are even some limited rights afforded citizens and that benefit homosexual couples (more on that in Pie's excellent post). Rather, it's because of the threat to authoritarian power that large, impassioned movements can tend to represent.

This is actually why a lot of gay men who are turtles will avoid sharing their turtle status openly; because they don't want GG and DD to appear to be leading or inspiring a political movement.

Anyway, I hope this somewhat answers your question. If it doesn't, please feel free to write back with a more specific question.

Propaganda and false equivalence - relevant to point 2.

Politics in the fandom - relevant to all of this.

Sometimes It Hurts

Courage did not know her name, She was cowardly-  Lion all the same. 

He hit her... Fractions for reasoning, Histeria surrounding the blame. 

Blessed was she to leave sane.  His cross hung at the end of all paths, Simply for his shame.

Bent from broken blood baths, She hung her head until wondrously... He arrived to resurrect her pain.

With tears he begged her to say... Everything she had only prayed.  Until she cried out truth about her skin grain.

The colors on her arms were no longer gray,  But one cohesive crimson red conceiving... Gain. 

Shaken She Stayed.

"Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the heart or soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Holy Spirit, for such things as God has promised, or according to the Word of God, for the good of the church, with submission in faith to the will of God." - John Bunyan
