You mean is he back in c-drama industry? No, he is still banned by CAPA. Actually I can’t imagine him acting…
I just googled.
“ As of late 2025, there is no indication that the Chinese government will lift the ban on actor and singer Zhang Zhehan. He remains blacklisted from the Chinese entertainment industry. The situation surrounding Zhang Zhehan's de facto ban is complex: No official government ban: The Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Radio and Television Association have officially denied that they ordered a ban or classified Zhang as a "problematic artist". Industry boycott: His blacklisting appears to stem primarily from an industry-wide boycott initiated by the China Association of Performing Arts (CAPA), a non-governmental organization. This followed a major cyber violence campaign in August 2021 after old photos of him near Japan's controversial Yasukuni Shrine and a controversial photo at a friend's wedding were widely circulated online, leading to accusations of being unpatriotic. Continued professional restrictions: Despite his international musical success and legal challenges to the ban, he cannot release music in China, perform live on stage there, or appear in Chinese films or television series. While he has reportedly filmed a movie, it is likely to be released only outside of China. Legal and public support: Supporters and legal professionals, such as lawyer Li Xuezheng, have questioned the legality and due process of CAPA's actions and have pursued legal avenues, arguing he was a victim of an organized smear campaign. Currently, there has been no official reversal of his status in China, and he is still being boycotted by the domestic entertainment industry. ”
There should be 36 strategems. But the drama may only have used 24 of them - I didn't go and count but I saw some…
Yes, if you like strategy and intellectual thinking. I think it would have been popular if it was subbed early on. But someone subbed it and posted the link to watch from. Very goof work. Dq

I think it’s best I pause in this 13 minutes, and continue tomorrow.
