lc musical clip list pt.4! i'm calling this one, the birthday special!!

(pt.1, pt.2, pt.3, and pt.5 here)

Why is this the birthday special, well because of this:

51. 28/02/2024, Happy BDay Guo Hongxu! I don't usually upload promovid but uhh he's so cool in this one so, here. Sidenote, Shu Rongbo is very hyper and cute this performance. And Qian Anqi's cute english plss i love her.

52. 03/03/2024 night, Happy BDay Zuo Yiping! Watch also, Cao Muzhi penguin walk across the table, Wu Yihan please watch your steps and don't poke other people's cake!!

(funny coincidence, I happen to watch a Santa Lucia/Mio Fratello clip of Cao Muzhi-Wu Yihan just a couple days before this)

53. 10/03/2024 night, Happy Bday Shu Rongbo and Wu Yihan!! Hehe the way Qian Anqi knocks their heads together and insisted to sing them happy birthday is so cute. Wu Yihan said 'Happy Birthday' before their customary Guiding Light hug. And pls someone translate (or at least transcribed) the closing speech for me, there's a lot of laughing involved, I'm curious. Also, have this bonus stage door clip.

Some funfacts. Since last year they play in the same 4 musicals including Link Click and out of those 4 plays they shared 2 roles. Shu Rongbo played a total of 9 roles while Wu Yihan played 7. (Yes, I am at that level of hyperfixation)

54. 11/03/2024, HBD Teng Chunpeng! LMAO It's you, so of course your promo video would be great! His face during the sofa choreo though. And why are both him and Du Guangyi stomping and jumping on the table so hard. You menaces, please you're gonna break it. The couch trio is also looking cute behind them.

Moving on from the birthdays starting with this special one,

55. 11/03/2024 Valentine's day special, <- Official ver. Forgive my language TENG CHUNPENG DU GUANGYI YOU FCKING TEASE! YOU GEM OF A HUMAN BEING! Have this fancam with the superior angle.

(This makes Du Guangyi the first and only actor who have played all 3 roles in that scene. Congrats!)

56. Special Encore rehearsals/BTS! Special mentions to Teng Chunpeng's fashion sense, Wu Yihan's cute act, Ding Xingchen's falling wig, Zhang Jiahao's IDGAF mood, and Wang Minhui's violent tendencies.

57. 26/02/2024, when I say Cai Qi and Wang Minhui have the best dynamic, this is what I meant.

58. 29/02/2024, watch Ji Xiaokun and Guo Hongxu's "Oi!" "Oi."

59. 01/03/2024, Look at them stumbling through singing "Guiding Light" and it's a Wu Yihan-Shu Rongbo duo which means hug! Also Wu Yihan, why are you a menace at holding hands, this time with Zou Ziyue.

60. 03/03/2024 day, why is there a piglet??? Why are you seasoning the piglet??? Why are you stepping on the piglet?? Why is the piglet bowing?? piglet??

61. 04/03/2024, Bai Zhuoming being extra sassy and playful on the couch makes me so happy. Of course Cai Lu also becomes playful in response. Typical Guiding Light mistake also causes Wang Minhui to crack.

62. 07/03/2024, Guo Hongxu putting up the wrong foot and stumbling on the sofa choreo.

63. 07/03/2024, same performance as above, Ji Xiaokun being annoying <3. When other pairs hug, they wrestle.

64. 10/03/2024 day, Mooom! Cai Qi and Wang Minhui are fighting instead of doing rock-paper-scissors again.

65. 09/03/2024 day, uuuhh Wu Yihan sitting on the counter like that with those lights and shadows during Guiding Light is creepy.

66. 09/03/20204 night, love me some Du Guangyi shenanigans, the way he just gives up on the handshake and walk off the table plss and him teasing Deng Xianling during the closing speech. Speaking of, she brings out the bat and forces their arms to form the heart. Then there's Bai Zhuoming being cute and the little shimmy dance he does.

67. 09/03/2024 night, bonus to the one above. Du Guangyi last minute adlib was unexpected but very enjoyable. Also, I love the contrast between his and Bai Zhuoming's tutting.

That's all for now!

Bonus clip with Bai Zhuoming! The song "Number 7" from "Fan Letter" musical is really good, I'm obssesed. But special performance where they're joined by their alternate cast? And his alternate cast is, Shu Rongbo? Even better!! They're kinda in their own world too. Here's a close up. Their voices go so well together!

(I swear they're playing something on that paper, and that makes it 3 musicals I know where they share the same role. Is it time I made a venn diagram?)

so at which point do i admit this brainrot is slowly but surely turning from linkclick focused to actor focused?

Huayang Guozhi: Nanzhong During Shu-Han

建安十九年，劉先主定蜀，遣安遠將軍、南郡鄧方，以朱提太守、庲降都督治南昌縣。輕財果毅，夷漢敬其威信。方「亡」〔卒〕，先主問代於治中從事建寧李恢，對曰：「「西」〔先〕零之役，趙充國有言：「莫若老臣。」」先主遂用恢為都督，治平夷縣。先主薨後，越嶲叟帥高定元殺郡將「軍」焦璜，舉郡稱王以叛。益州大姓雍闓亦殺太守正昂，更以蜀郡張裔為太守。闓假鬼教曰：「張「裔」府君，如瓠壺，外雖澤，「而」內實粗，殺「之」不可，縛與吳。」於是執送裔於吳。吳主孫權遙用闓為永昌太守；遣故劉璋子闡為益州刺史，處交、益州際。牂柯郡丞朱提朱褒領太守，恣睢，丞相諸葛亮以初遭大喪，未便加兵，遣越嶲太守巴西龔祿住安上縣，遙領郡；從事蜀郡常頎行部南入；以都護李嚴書曉喻闓。闓答曰：「愚聞天無二日，土無二王。今天下派分，正朔有三，遠人惶惑，不知所歸。」其傲慢如此。頎至牂柯，收郡主簿考訊姦。褒因「煞」〔殺〕頎為亂。益州夷復不從闓，闓使建寧孟獲說夷叟曰：「官欲得烏狗三百頭、膺前盡黑，蚊䴘無腦，毒蛇則有腦，而難致也。「斷」〔斲〕木構三丈者三千枚，汝能得不？」夷以為然，皆從闓。「斷」〔斲〕木堅剛，性委曲，高不至二丈，故獲以欺夷。

In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), after Liu Bei had conquered the Shu region, he sent the General Who Maintains Distant Places, Deng Fang of Nan commandary, to serve as Administrator of Zhuti and Commander of Laixiang, with his base at Nanchang county. Deng Fang thought little of wealth, and he was a stalwart and resolute fellow; the tribal peoples and the Han people respected his power and trusted him.

After Deng Fang passed away, Liu Bei asked the Attendant Officer of Internal Affairs, Li Hui of Jianning commandary, who would be best suited to replace him. Li Hui replied, "I can only reply as Zhao Chongguo did when asked who should lead the campaign at Xianling: 'there’s no better choice than me'." So Liu Bei appointed Li Hui as the new Commander, and Li Hui had his base at Pingyi county.

After Liu Bei passed away, a leader of the Sou people of Yuexi commandary, Gao Dingyuan, killed the general of that commandary, Jiao Huang, and raised the commandary in rebellion, calling himself King. A gentry leader from Yizhou commandary, Yong Kai, also killed the Administrator of that commandary, Zheng Ang, who was replaced as Administrator by Zhang Yi of Shu commandary. Claiming magical influence, Yong Kai declared, "Commissioner Zhang is like a gourd kettle; he might look fine on the outside, but within he is actually crude. It would not do to kill him; we should tie him up and send him to Wu." So he arrested Zhang Yi and sent him to Wu. Sun Quan secretly appointed Yong Kai as his Administrator of Yongchang. He also appointed Liu Zhang's son Liu Chan as Inspector of Yizhou and stationed him on the border with Jiaozhou and Yizhou. The Minister of Zangke commandary, Zhu Bao of Zhuti commandary, had been appointed as acting Administrator of Zangke, but he too did as he pleased.

The Prime Minister, Zhuge Liang, felt that since Liu Bei had only recently passed away, the state was in no position to launch a campaign to deal with these threats yet. So he sent the Administrator of Yuexi, Gong Lu of Baxi commandary, to Anshang county so that he could administer that region from afar. He also had the Administrative Officer, Chang Qi of Shu commandary, assume control of affairs in the south, and he had the Protector, Li Yan, write a letter of instructions to Yong Kai. But Yong Kai replied, "I had heard that 'the sky cannot have two suns, nor the earth two masters'. Yet now, the realm is ripped asunder, and three regal calendars are being kept. As such a distant person, I am nervous and confused, not knowing to whom I owe my allegiance." Such was Yong Kai's arrogance. And when Chang Qi arrived at Zangke and detained the Registrar to examine him about wicked behavior, Zhu Bao killed Chang Qi and openly rebelled.

When the tribal peoples of Yizhou commandary began to drift away from Yong Kai, he sent Meng Huo of Jiankang commandary to persuade the Sou and other tribal peoples. Meng Huo told them, "The government is demanding impossible things from you. They want three hundred crow-dogs whose heads and breasts are all black, and they want mosquitoes without essences. Vipers have essences, but it is difficult to acquire. They also demand three thousand branches of 斲 wood that is three zhang in length. Are you able to acquire such things for them?" The tribes believed Meng Huo, so they followed Yong Kai again. 斲 wood is naturally sturdy and firm, and it coils and bends, so it does not grow taller than two zhang; this was why Meng Huo mentioned such things to mislead the tribes.

建興三年春，亮南征。「自安上」由水路〔自安上〕入越嶲。別遣馬忠伐牂柯，李恢向益州。以犍為太守廣漢王士為益州太守。高定元自旄牛、定笮、卑水多為壘守。亮欲俟定元軍眾集合，并討之，軍卑水。定元部曲殺雍闓及士「庶」等，孟獲代闓為主。亮既斬定元，「而」馬忠破牂柯，〔而〕李恢敗於南中。夏五月，亮渡瀘，進征益州。生虜孟獲，置軍中，問曰：「我軍如何？」獲對曰：「恨不相知，公易勝耳。」亮以方務在北，而南中好叛亂，宜窮其詐。乃赦獲，使還合軍，更戰。凡七虜、七赦。獲等心服，夷、漢亦思反善。亮復問獲，獲對曰：「明公，天威也！邊民長不為惡矣。」秋，遂平四郡。改益州為建寧，以李恢為太守，加安漢將軍，領交州刺史，移治味縣。分建寧、越嶲置雲南郡，以呂凱為太守。又分建寧、牂柯置興古郡，以馬忠為牂柯太守。移南中勁卒、青羌萬餘家於蜀，為五部，所當無前，「軍」號〔為〕飛〔軍〕。分其羸弱配大姓焦、雍、婁、爨、孟、量、毛、李為部曲，置五部都尉，號五子。故南人言四姓五子也。以夷多剛很，不賓大姓富豪；乃勸令出金帛，聘策惡夷為家部曲，得多者奕世襲官。於是夷人貪貨物，以漸服屬於漢，成夷漢部曲。亮收其俊傑建寧爨習，朱提孟琰及獲為官屬，習官至領軍，琰，輔漢將軍，獲，御史中丞。出其金、銀、丹、漆，耕牛、戰馬，給軍國之用，都督常用重人。

In the third year of Jianxing (225), Zhuge Liang went on a southern campaign, taking a water route from Anshang into Yuexi commandary. He also sent Ma Zhong to campaign against Zangke commandary, and he sent Li Hui towards Yizhou commandary. He appointed the Administrator of Jianwei, Wang Shi of Guanghan commandary, as Administrator of Yizhou.

Gao Dingyuan had established many defensive ramparts at Maoniu, Dingze, and Beishui. Zhuge Liang wanted to wait for Gao Dingyuan to concentrate his forces so that he could attack all of them at once, so he camped at Beishui. Gao Dingyuan's forces killed Yong Kai, Wang Shi, and others. Meng Huo replaced Yong Kai as the leader of the rebellion. Zhuge Liang then beheaded Gao Dingyuan.

Meanwhile, although Ma Zhong took Zangke commandary, Li Hui was surrounded at Nanzhong.

In summer, the fifth month, Zhuge Liang crossed the Lu River, and he advanced to campaign against Yizhou commandary. He captured Meng Huo, then brought him into his camp and asked him, "What do you think of my army?"

Meng Huo replied, "I regret I had not known about it earlier, Sir, or else I would have defeated you easily."

Zhuge Liang considered that although his chief business would be in the north, the people of Nanzhong enjoyed rebelling and causing chaos, and he wanted to see through their tricks. So he pardoned Meng Huo and sent him back to his own army. The two sides then fought each other, and Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and released him seven times. This caused Meng Huo to earnestly submit, and the tribal peoples and Han people also reconsidered their rebellion. Zhuge Liang once again asked Meng Huo what his intentions were, and Meng Huo now replied, "Sir, you are the scourge of Heaven! We border people shall trouble you no more."

By autumn, the four southern commandaries had been pacified. Yizhou commandary was renamed to Jianning commandary, with Li Hui appointed as its Administrator; he was also appointed as General Who Maintains Han and acting Inspector of Jiaozhou, and he shifted his base to Wei county. Parts of Jianning and Yuexi commandaries were split off to form Yunnan commandary, with Lü Kai appointed as its Administrator. Parts of Jianning and Zangke commandaries were also split off to form Xinggu commandary. Ma Zhong was appointed as Administrator of Zangke.

More than ten thousand families of Green Qiang tribal people and other strong fellows from Nanzhong were moved into the Shu region and organized into five divisions; since no enemy could stand before them, they were called the Flying Army. Others of the defeated rebels were organized into the great clans of Nanzhong: Jiao, Yong, Lou, Cuan, Meng, Liang, Mao, and Li. These were organized under the command of the five Commandants, called the Five Lords. This was what the people of Nanzhong referred to when they talked about the Four Clans and the Five Lords. Since many of the tribal peoples were obstinate and not willing to enrich these great clans, the local Prefects were encouraged to distribute gold and silks and develop plans to persuade the stubborn people to organize themselves into the family divisions, with many of them securing conspicuous hereditary offices. This caused the tribal peoples to begin craving fine products, gradually bringing them under the control of Han, until they became Han subjects.

Zhuge Liang recruited several particular talented people: Cuan Xi of Jianning commandary, Meng Yan of Zhuti commandary, and Meng Huo became his subordinates. Cuan Xi rose in office as high as General Who Leads The Army; Meng Yan became General Who Maintains Han; Meng Huo became Middle Minister to the Imperial Secretary.

Gold, silver, cinnabar, and lacquer were taken from Nanzhong, plow oxen and war horses were used to provide for the needs of the army and the state, and the Commanders often used the local people.

李恢卒後，以蜀郡太守犍為張翼為都督。翼持法嚴，不得殊俗和。夷帥劉冑反，徵翼，以馬忠為代。忠未至，翼脩攻戰方略、資儲。群下懼。翼曰：「吾方臨戰場，豈可以絀退之故，廢公家之務乎？」忠至，承以滅冑。「蜀賜翼爵關內侯。」忠在南，柔遠能「爾」〔邇〕，甚垂惠愛，官至鎮南大將軍。卒後，南人為之立祠，水旱禱之。以蜀郡張表為代，加安南將軍。又以犍為楊「義」〔羲〕為參軍，副貳之。表後，以南郡閻宇為都督，南郡霍弋為參軍。弋甚善參毗之禮，遂代宇為監軍、安南將軍。撫和異俗，為之立法施教，輕重允當，夷晉安之。及晉世，因仍其任。時交趾不附，假弋節遙領交州刺史，得以便宜選用長吏。今官和解夷人及適罰之，皆依弋故事。弋卒，子在「龔」〔襲〕領其兵，和諸姓。

After Li Hui passed away, the Administrator of Shu commandary, Zhang Yi (Bogong), was appointed as Commander. Zhang Yi was severe in enforcing the laws, and he could not maintain peace in the region. The tribal leader Liu Zhou rebelled. Zhang Yi was ordered back to the capital, and Ma Zhong was appointed as his replacement. However, before Ma Zhong arrived to replace him, Zhang Yi developed military preparations and gathered together supplies. His subordinates were afraid for him because he was doing this. But Zhang Yi told them, "I am in the midst of a battlefield; how could I go off and leave things unprepared here? Wouldn't that be abandoning my duties to the state?" After Ma Zhong arrived, he vanquished Liu Zhou. Shu later appointed Zhang Yi as a Marquis Within The Passes.

During the time that Ma Zhong was in the south, he was kind to distant people and accommodating to nearby people, and he displayed great love and kindness. He rose in office as high as Grand General Who Guards The South. After Ma Zhong passed away, the people of the south raised a shrine to him, and they prayed to him whenever there was flooding or drought.

Zhang Biao of Shu commandary was appointed to succeed Ma Zhong, and he was also appointed as General Who Maintains The South. Yang Xi of Jianwei commandary was appointed as an Army Advisor to assist Zhang Biao.

After Zhang Biao, Yan Yu of Nan commandary was appointed as the new Commander, with Huo Yi of Nan commandary as his Army Advisor. This Huo Yi was an excellent assistant, and so he succeeded Yan Yu as General Who Directs The Army and General Who Maintains The South. He worked to resolve divergent customs, and he established laws for the people and educated them. Both light and heavy things became abundant, and the tribal peoples and the Jin (ethnic Han) people were secure. When Shu-Han was succeeded by the Jin dynasty, Huo Yi was kept on in the same role. At that time, since Jiaozhi had not submitted, Huo Yi was granted authority as acting Inspector of Jiaozhou to govern it from afar, and he was able to select and appoint his own chief officials. Even now (~350 AD), the local officials are tolerant with the tribal peoples and lenient in punishing them, following the example of Huo Yi. After Huo Yi passed away, his son Huo Zai took command of his soldiers and established peace with the leading local families.

Obituary: Li Peng, China's technocrat 'communist warrior' who rose to the top in chaotic times

Late premiers Li Peng and Zhou Enlai have come to occupy two very different places in the Chinese consciousness, one hugely controversial, the other a national hero.While Zhou remains a cherished leader to most Chinese, Li will forever be remembered for his controversial role in the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown " sealed by his appearance on national television on May 20, 1989, angrily declaring martial law in Beijing.Li's death, at the age of 90, was reported by China's official news agency Xinhua on Tuesday. In the official obituary, he was described as "a loyal communist warrior" and "an outstanding leader of the Communist Party and the state". The statement said that he died of illness in Beijing on Monday.The obituary heaped lavish praise on the former premier, crediting him for standing firm in 1989 and making a great contribution to China's reforms despite the country's isolation after Tiananmen.In describing the 1989 crackdown, the obituary said the premier, who had the support of party elders including paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, had played an "important role".Then premier Li Peng (left) and president Yang Shangkun flank Communist Party chief Jiang Zemin in the Great Hall of the People in September 1989.

Photo: Reuters"Under the resolute support of veteran revolutionary leaders represented by comrade Deng Xiaoping, comrade Li Peng unequivocally stood with most of the comrades of the Politburo, taking decisive measures to stop the turmoil, cracking down on the counter-revolutionary riot and stabilising the domestic situation," the obituary said."He made an important contribution in this fundamental struggle, which was critical to the future and fate of the Communist Party and the state," it added.As premier, the obituary said, Li had made great strides in refocusing the country's economic development on technology and state sector reforms.Li became the parliamentary chief in 1998 when he stepped down as premier after serving two terms. He remains the only Chinese politician who has held both powerful positions.(From left) Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Li Peng at the fifth plenary session of the Communist Party's 13th Central Committee in Beijing in November 1989. Photo: Xinhua alt=(From left) Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Li Peng at the fifth plenary session of the Communist Party's 13th Central Committee in Beijing in November 1989. Photo: XinhuaBorn to a father the party recognised as a "martyr", Li benefited from the care of party elders who later became the country's founding fathers, and he was widely rumoured to be the adopted son of Zhou, who served as China's premier for almost three decades.Li rose through the political ranks during one of the nation's most chaotic periods. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, the party leadership was locked in a debate between the reformist camp and the conservative wing over the country's direction. Li was seen as a representative of the old guard, backed by party elder Chen Yun.Many observers viewed Li as an uninspired technocrat, who believed China's progress could only come in the form of huge infrastructure projects such as the controversial Three Gorges Dam, which he orchestrated."Li's political support in government circles was largely because he was thought of as the adopted son of the most respected founding premier," said Laurence Brahm, a Beijing-based political economist and an expert in China's elite politics.However, in his official memoir, published in 2014, Li denied he was adopted by Zhou.Li was born in Shanghai in 1928 to a family from Chengdu, in the southwestern province of Sichuan. His father, Li Shouxun, a writer and a friend of Zhou, was executed for being a communist revolutionary in 1930. In his memoir, Li Peng said he met Zhou's wife, Deng Yingchao, in Chengdu in 1939 and was then taken to Zhou's home in Chongqing. He said he did not meet Zhou until 1940.As was the case with many revolutionary offspring, Li was sent to study in the Soviet Union, dispatched to the Moscow Power Engineering Institute in 1948.After his return to China in 1955, Li worked as chief engineer and director of two large power plants in the northeast of the country. Thanks to his job and political connections, he avoided becoming ensnared in the national upheavals of the Great Leap Forward, which began in the late 1950s, and the decade-long Cultural Revolution, which started in 1966.After Deng Xiaoping became paramount leader in the late 1970s, Li moved into several increasingly key, powerful political positions. He was appointed vice-minister of the power industry in 1979 and minister two years later.When Zhao Ziyang was promoted from premier to party general secretary in 1987 following the purging of Hu Yaobang, Li was picked to succeed Zhao, first as acting premier and then, from 1988, as premier.Throughout the 1980s, China was moving away from its centrally planned economy to embrace market reforms, a cause championed by Hu and Zhao. The programme reached deep into the fabric of Chinese society, touching not just politics, but also the legal system, industry and the military.Premier Li Peng shakes hands with Wang Dan, a representative of students on a hunger strike, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on May 18, 1989. Photo: Xinhua alt=Premier Li Peng shakes hands with Wang Dan, a representative of students on a hunger strike, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on May 18, 1989. Photo: XinhuaBut the party was split over the shift in ideology and the new direction of the economy. Brahm said Li viewed economics through the prism of state planning " a result of his Soviet education and training.Li's conflict with Zhao escalated in the spring of 1989 as the democracy movement grew. Zhao called for dialogue with the students and broad political reforms, but Li wanted to take a hard line and argued for tough measures to suppress the "troublemakers", saying they wanted to stir up political and social turmoil.In the end, Li used his authority as premier to declare martial law on May 20 and was personally involved in overseeing the bloody military crackdown in Tiananmen Square that followed.Edward Friedman, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an expert in elite Chinese politics, said Li proved he was worthy of the trust of his factional backers in the struggles of the late 1980s against liberal reform efforts, helping to defeat and remove opponents such as Hu and Zhao and making repression of the democracy protests easier.In the aftermath of the June 4 bloodshed, Li launched a witch hunt in which thousands of pro-democracy activists were arrested and imprisoned.Zhang Xianling, a member of the victims' family support group Tiananmen Mothers, which is pushing for the government to change its official verdict, said Li "should be among the three most senior leaders to be personally held accountable for the bloody crackdown".Although Li was not the only person responsible for the Tiananmen disaster, it cemented his image as one of China's most unpopular leaders in recent decades.Then-premier Li Peng presides over the swearing-in of Tung Chee-hwa as Hong Kong chief executive after the handover from Britain to China on July 1, 1997. Photo: Antony Dickson alt=Then-premier Li Peng presides over the swearing-in of Tung Chee-hwa as Hong Kong chief executive after the handover from Britain to China on July 1, 1997. Photo: Antony DicksonHundreds, if not thousands, of people were killed in central Beijing when the military crushed the student-led protests."Li Peng must be condemned by history for his crucial role in masterminding the crackdown," said Zhang, whose 19-year-old son Wang Nan was shot in the head on June 4, 1989, while photographing a clash between students and soldiers on Changan Avenue.Li will also be remembered for his role in the Three Gorges Dam project, which was approved by the National People's Congress in 1992 after heated debate. Li gave assurances the dam would offer huge benefits in flood control, power supply and shipping traffic.But scientists and environmentalists argued that a dam stretching across almost 2km (1.2 miles) of the Yangtze River would pose serious financial and environmental risks. As recently as this month, the top engineer of the project and other Chinese hydropower scholars were still busy assuring the public about the dam's security, as deadly floods hit the country's south and east.Brahm said that premier Li aggressively promoted the project, which destroyed countless homes, heritage sites and the ecology of the complex river system."He represented the dominant view of the day that engineering could overcome planetary boundaries, a materialist view of our world that projected into a generation of over-construction and irrational growth that is now being addressed by a new leadership seeking to rebalance China's economy and social distortions," said Brahm, who has written a biography of Zhu Rongji, Li's immediate successor as premier.Then NPC chairman Li Peng and wife Zhu Lin in front of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India, during an official visit in January 2001.

Photo: AFPLi continued to project a hard line when he was chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's highest legislative body, from 1998 to 2003.In his memoir, Li wrote that he took great pride in the thaw in diplomatic ties between China and Western countries after the 1989 crackdown. In 1992, Li, who was then premier, attended a United Nations meeting in New York and met then president George H.W. Bush, despite criticism at the time that any meeting with Li would elevate China's international standing.The Li family has a deep involvement in China's lucrative power industry, with his son Li Xiaopeng, now transport minister, and daughter Li Xiaolin having been in charge of state-owned power giants for decades.Friedman said Li and other members of the faction who opposed reform turned out to be ones who had used the liberalised economy as a vehicle for personal wealth.Additional reporting by Jun MaiThis article originally appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the most authoritative voice reporting on China and Asia for more than a century.

Link Click Musical update 161

First week of 'Soul of basketball' event 🔥🏀, part 1

(chill start with Du Guangyi 😌 lots of bonus videos though!)

⬆ Days we'll cover🌟

Official announcements: Reminder from an urgent update, we got a detailed lc stage set tour* 😊 We also got another video! Where LG actors answer the question 'If there was a Time Photo Studio irl, what task would you entrust?' (parallel to the vid with cxs's actors).

Links in replies: stage set tour, LG actors answer the question + my twt thread with translations 🌟, Cai Lu's 2 new clips from rehearsals 🙏 + Metablue's video about composing 'Friendship's Faith' (found by @saelterlude <3

* thanks to a set tour (and @shimmeringweeds translation <3), now we know the mystery drink from encore is not a vinegar but a plum juice!

Aside from that, Encore Musical's weibo is keeping a score record of basketball matches:

I will delve deeper into some individual scores, because we (musical brainrot gang from lc discord) are doing our own bets on who wins. We're invested and so should you, trust me 😤

April 19th: Teng Chunpeng, Du Guangyi, Deng Xianling

Nothing out of usual during the match, Basketball God tcp just doing his job 😊 At 'You can forget about it' Deng Xianling was having a hard time tying her shoes ><

Listen, I am sorry for potential 'clickbait', they just look like this ;w;

April 20th, noon: Ding Xingchen, Du Guangyi, Cai Lu

Basketball match was a tie this time. Also, puppy hat made a comeback thanks to dgy :>

a boop

⬆ this picture of Shen Tian was apparently taken by Ding Xingchen :>

see ya :]

Middle of April summary, part 2

(Jing Yanqiao's birthday 🥳 AND Cheng Xiaoshi's birthday 🎉)

Links in replies: all two (2) weibo clips from jyq 13.04 performance, new behind the scenes vlog from Encore Musicals (karaoke time 🌟)

April 13th, night: Jing Yanqiao, Zhu Hanbin, Zuo Yiping

Huge thanks to @shimmeringweeds for finding Jing Yanqiao's pictures on xiaohongshu 🙏 This boy doesn't get enough attention 😤 Let's wish our youngest Xiaoshi happy 21st birthday 🎉

April 14th, noon: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling

Boys being boys 😌 Instead of rock, papers, scissors they engaged into a fierce palm pushing game ><'

For some reason Cai Qi tried cupping the mic (it boomed at first ><)

April 15th: Ding Xingchen, Du Guangyi, Zuo Yiping

It was Cheng Xiaoshi's birthday, so the theatre did an event similar to QL-themed one, where audience members who wore cxs cosplay elements could be later picked to take pictures on set and with dxc ^^

okie we're caught up now ^^

(The 100th performance and 2 special encore videos, also I cried from joy and it's not an offtop)

@elaraqwq attended the 100th play, gave away the postcards we made to the audience and SOMEHOW delivered them to the trio actors 😭🧡💙💕 As an absolute legend she is, she sent me the pictures as a proof 🙇‍♂️ So I lost my mind about the loveliness of it all and took a while to chill o7 💝

But enough of that! Lemme tell you abt today's events ✨

Feb 25th, noon performance: Ji Xiaokun, Guo Hongxu, Cai Lu, Guo Zhenyan, Li Zexi

For special encore they did full version of 'You can forget about it' ('Rock, paper, scissors song') but sung is 3 different dialects: from Hebei, Shandong and Shanghai (lowkey foreshadowing).

TW:CXS's dramatic ass once again puts on the noose, so if it makes you uncomfortable, be warned~

If you've been listening to this song over and over again (like me), you should be able to hear the difference in pronounciation. It's as if they changed the lyrics completely ><

Feb 25th, night, the 100th performance: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling, Zhang Jiahao, Zhu Jiayan

It's full version of 'As the saying goes' (earthquake arc mom and son quarrel) with Cai Qi in place of Cheng Xiao and Wang Minhui as his mom. Joined by the rest of cast :>

I called the earlier encore foreshadowing bc (like in dongua) the earthquake arc characters speak in Sichuan dialect (the province where the plot takes place). And despite the role swap Wang Minhui used Sichuan as well.

⬆from Zhu Jiayan's weibo

⬆ @/渲染KL不加糖_瑾家 posted this picture on weibo with caption: 'Chicken run'. And I think it's the funniest joke ever ><

Check the replies for both videos 💙🧡 And I hope you'll have just as good time watching it as I did ^0^

If final season of LC won't include them going for a happy hug with their arms wide open like inthe musical, then what's even a point?

Honestly Wang Yifei and Zhu Honbin are cooking 👌👌👌 (look up their performances, Zhu Honbin's voice is amazing)

^Deng Xianling as QL 💗

⬆those 2 pics were posted by Zhu Hanbin, 1st one to tease his debut peformance, 2nd one on a debut day ^^

oh yeah, check Encore Musicals weibo for another 2 batches of debut photos. There are 3 new actors for side characters: Yu Mengying, Zhang Zhiwei (1st group pic) and Song Yuanming (2nd group pic) ✨ (all of their profiles are linked on my masterlist)

(just some sillies from this week)

On his weibo, Shu Rongbo posted photos he gathered throuough 2023, performing in LC. Here they are :>

shiguang under the christmas tree 🥺

Some more photos, that were posted for Ji Xiaokun's birthday (by actors, fans or himself):

Not musical relatad. but he posted a really heartfelt message on his weibo acc on his birthday. Self-reflecting on personal growth and work experience... it really made me appreciate him from a different angle, so I recommend you check his weibo profile if you're interested ^^ he's a very sweet guy <3

As always, we had Deng Xianling being adorable 😊💗💖

And Teng Chunpeng being goofy ahh

🙏

To see bonus stage door photos of Teng Chunpeng carrying a comically large backpack , you can check my twitter @niebo_asdfghjkl (I couldn't fit them anywhere)

(musical is still on a holiday break, so let's use the backlog, tcp&wmh focus)

⬆ There was so much going on, that I had no time to post these 2 sofa pics to tumblr. Seems like someone sneaked photos during the main plot 🙏

Oh there was also new video on Encore Musicals weibo and bilibili 🌟 It's a compilation of New Years wishes from all of our lovely actors :>

Teng Chunpeng and Wang Minhui are rlly funny and have a lot of cute pictures together. That's why I picked them for this highlight😌

still not over the duality of this man 😌🧡

bye bye :*

(two very chaotic Cai Qi & Wang Minhui performances)

Aight so we're gonna cover these 3 days. However, wmh&cq take the spotlight 🌟😔🙏 I swear I looked hard for the other pairs too but didn't find nearly as much to share, sorry ;w;

From official announcements: Encore Musicals released a schedule for April to early May. I breezed through it and what stood out is that we'll get to see Cai Qi with Guo Hongxu for a first time and with Wu Yihan again 🌟 sadly not a single Shu Rongbo & Wu Yihan set (they will peform, just with other actors)😔

It seems there will be some special events for Qingming Festival and Labour Day. Some days have the special holiday stamps, though I don't know what we can expect 🤔...

Videos to check out in the replies: a vlog from rehearsals by Zhang Jiahao 🌟 + both encores with wmh&cq bc they're way funnier on video.

March 14th: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling, Zhu Jiayan, Zhang Jiahao

Wang Minhui slides over the table at the beginning of 'You can forget about it' (sofa song) and Cai Qi can't stop laughing for the rest of the performance ><

+ LG's hair looked very fluffy that day :>

March 16th: Wang Minhui, Cai Qi, Qian Anqi, Zhu Jiayan, Zhang Jiahao

Cai Qi performs half of the encore in extreme conditions, with a 'broken' thumb & blinded by a dog hat ><'

Wang Minhui tries to intervene but is helpless 😔

Disclaimer: No chickens, dogs and Xiaoshis were harmed during the performance 😇

First week of 'Soul of basketball' event 🔥🏀, part 2

(Bai Zhuoming testing Wang Minhui's patience)

Official announcements: theatre will be doing 2 more guided set tours for the audience. If we get any pictures or trivia from it I'll inform you o7

Links in replies: bzm&wmh arguing during closing speech

The guide lady's name is Chen Xiaoyi (I think?). She is the Chief producer of LC stage 😇 I've added her weibo profile to the masterlist (I've also updated the navigation info a bit).

April 20th, night: Jing Yanqiao, Zhu Hanbin, Deng Xianling

Unexpected, crushing victory with 2:9 score for jyq vs. zhb 🏀

⬆ some extras from Deng Xianling's weibo :>

April 21st, noon: Bai Zhuoming, Wang Minhui, Cai Lu

This one was really fun ^^ wmh wore a dog hat and bzm was particularly cheery, bc he won the match, with score 15:12 🏀 he kept making fun of wmh for loosing, especially during rock, paper, scissors:

then he sung wrong lyrics ><

So bzm won🏀 And it was a source of 'serious' drama! In the closing speech wmh complained how bzm didn't want to pass him the ball and they started arguing to a point where Cai Lu had to step in 🙏 Look at him, so proud of himself...

then he laughed, doubled down and hit his chin on Cai Lu's arm ><

kbyee I gotta make another one asap 🏃‍♂️

(March 21-24 performances summary, part 1)

⬆ Schedule we're gonna cover today :> Split in parts because it's been an eventful time ✨

As you can see there's been slight changes in cast. Which lowkey freaked me out. One day I was whining on twt how the shared birthday was the last time we got to see Wu Yihan and Shu Rongbo perform together, bc in new schedule they share no dates. And literally a day after, theatre announces that, for health reasons, Guo Hongxu is going to be replaced by Wu Yihan. A DAY later, Ding Xingchen has a fever and theatre announces that Shu Rongbo will be replacing him. So there were 2 extra wyh&srb performances, but at what cost 😔

From official announcements: on March 29th Encore Musicals is doing an event where audience members will be able to explore the LC set backstage :'>

Links to videos in replies: rehearsal video from Cai Lu 🙏(a treat for Ji Xiaokun & Guo Hongxu dynamics enjoyers) ✨, Zhu Hanbin&Jing Yanqiao performance on tv talent show

March 21st : Shu Rongbo, Wu Yihan

There was barely anything posted from that performance (which is understandable, since most ppl were going to see ghx and the replacement was on a short notice, but I'm still sad) 😔 HOWEVER, I've stumbled upon a twitter account (@/yyl1995) that posted this:

It seems that person behind the acc is actually working as a part of LC Musical crew, I think as a sound technician? Like:

(yea that's tcp in the bg aight, I'd recognise his drip from miles away)

And I think that's very cool of them to share such an important video with us. If it wasn't for them, we would never see that sweet hug 🙏 Much love 💖💖💖

^the only photos I could find from that day

March 22nd: Jing Yanqiao, Zhu Hanbin

Do you guys recognise Jing Yanqiao? I don't think I mentioned him since his debut stage ;w; I was gathering materials to make a focus post abt him, but he appears so rarely that I barely have anything. Only these old pics from January >< Soo that's him:

Thanks to @saelterlude 🙏 we know, that he's the youngest in whole cast (20yo) and still a student (which is prob a reason he doesn't have time to perform a lot). Fun fact, that he and Zhu Hanbin already performed together in City of Musicals s2 (a music talent TV show), you can watch it on yt ^^

Other than that, there weren't many pictures from that day either :<
