She says A Zan. If they put A before the surname is a form of familiarity and endearment.
Basically, "ah" can refer to a wider circle of friends and acquaintances, whereas gege/didi or jiejie/meimei are usually reserved for closer friends and relatives (especially cousins).
Both younger females AND males can call elder male friends gege. But younger males probably prefer the term: da ge (literally BIG brother).
in chinese culture, adding "a" to the beginning of a name is a form of affectionate or informal address, this…
"Ah" can refer to any gender. Also, it is generally more an informal address (for casual friends and acquaintances) than a term of affection, unlike gege/didi (big/little brother) or jiejie/meimei (big/little sister), which is usually reserved for closer friends or relatives such as cousins. The difference between "ah" and the sibling-related terms can be interpreted as difference in either degree or kind, depending on whom you ask in which part of China.
Needless to say, you refer to your elder biological (or adopted) siblings as gege or jiejie. Your younger siblings you can call didi or meimei (or by their given names, if you wish).

With all the tiktok "refugees" migrating to XHS, I'm guessing, what's left of it is probably worse now than ever. But I rarely hang out on tiktok, so I'm not sure.
Stop blaming c-netz for everything. They couldn't care less about MDL, if they even know it exists.Hold the international…
By labeling the opinions of C-netizens as "toxic," you're scapegoating them . Not to mention, I explicitly stated that "who knows where the trolls get what they troll about?" The fact that you made the unwarranted assumption that the (international) trolls were importing the posts of the C-netizens further proves that you're scapegoating them. Try to understand what you're saying yourself before you tell others to STFU!
I read your review for When We Were Young, which is also one of my favorites. Besides WWWY and RMJ, another 1990s coming-of-age, school-related C-drama that I'd recommend is: A River Runs Through It. Maybe you've seen it already, but I thought others might be interested.

Since you know exactly what's going on, you're obviously not listening to your own advice and staying away from weibo. At least, weibo users don't throw shade on MDL users (though admittedly, they don't know or care that MDL exists).

@zekiym Because they're fans, which is short for "fanatics." At least Chinese netizens are arguing about their own country's dramas. Here we have a bunch of international fans who know little to nothing about Chinese history, language, culture, etc. arguing about C-dramas. What's worse??

China has 1.4+ billion people. Maybe a few thousand at most are arguing on social media about PM re: WXY. So relatively speaking, not "very many people" at all. Just because they're too passionate for their own good doesn't mean they're "stupid." Maybe "irrationally exuberant," but not stupid.

P.S. DW, ftw!
Were you speaking basic English?
Is this an inclusive or exclusive "OR?"
Hold the international trolls themselves accountable and cease scapegoating domestic fans. Who knows where the trolls get what they troll about?
"to me."
Translation: to YOU.
