Happy Birthday Zhu Yilong, long may you continue to work with photographers that let you bask in sunlight and just generally light you beautifully <3

Giyuu is always said to be moving in water when running or fighting which is why I thought water genasi might fit well. He’d just also be cool as an elf too TT

EN translation of Zhu Yilong’s response to the Zhihu question

“What type of Chinese values on life and death are presented in Lighting Up the Stars?”

Hello friends of Zhihu, I am actor Zhu Yilong and I played the role of Mo Sanmei, a funeral director, in the film Lighting Up the Stars. This is a rather special occupation that is often misunderstood by the public.

As we saw in the film, many people are prejudiced against this profession, including myself. Before making this film, I felt that death was a taboo subject that should be avoided.

Before shooting, I went to experience life in a funeral parlour and realised that the funeral industry wasn’t as cold as we thought it to be. Instead, it is a very heartwarming profession. In my opinion, a funeral director provide us with a farewell service. When they help the deceased to depart in a dignified manner, they also help to comfort the living.

In Lighting Up the Stars, San Ge gained a better understanding of his profession over time. At the start, he was full of contempt and disdain for this industry. Later in the film, he started to understand the real meaning of his job and respect the profession. He worked hand in hand with his pals in Up Sky and brought comfort to others.

In my opinion, the film does not only teach us how to deal with death, but also how to live well. The notion of “people planting stars” might be a dream created by Sange for Xiaowen, but everything that he did also remind us that the living should cherish the present, live well, and move on with life. If it is possible, I hope this dream can also warm everyone’s hearts.

There is a line in the film that goes: "There is nothing more important in life than death." The film is a microcosm of the reality of ordinary people's daily lives, the quotidian city scenes, and the joy and sorrow of life. I hope everyone will be comforted by this film. Your loved ones never departed. They have turned into stars and are watching over you.

Lastly, let us pay tribute to the people who plant stars.

in the book the first time they speak is after jiang li (singlehandedly) becomes the top scorer at the emperor's banquet where jiang furen+sanmei try to frame ye shijie + jiang li, xiao heng (ji heng in the book) catches jiang li accidentally spying on him and holds her by the scruff of the neck like a kitten 😭😂

fun rsds fact! san's full name (which he's noted to hate) is 莫三妹 mo sanmei, with sanmei meaning "third little-sister." he's also often referred to as 丫头 "girl" by his family for absolutely no explained reason????? so i guess sun wukong transmasc swag is contagious

I learn so much from my anons, and it's true no matter what form he takes you really can't keep the Monkey King's transmasc swag down <3. But in all seriousness this is even more proof that Mo Sanmei is the best trans cringefail loser Monkey King of this era and I am not even kidding.

Mo Sanmei scrubs at his head out of habit, but his hair’s grown out now, uneven and falling into his eyes, and it feels unexpectedly soft to the touch. Xiaowen’s left alone too often, he thinks, but he can’t do much about it, and anyway she’s always been fiercely self-sufficient. He should get married, probably. It would be more decent for Xiaowen to have a woman in the house—a real mother, since Wu Haifei left. He thinks about women he knows, but none of them seem right.

In which San-ge, already grateful for the miracle of Wu Xiaowen, stumbles onto another in the shape of local noodle-stall owner Bai Sanwan. And it's just as hard for him to accept this one, at first, until he lets Xiao Bai into his life.
