Sun Li & Tang Yan Spotted At 2-Day Training Course That Aims To "Correct Unhealthy Trends" In China's Showbiz Industry
Is this the Chinese government’s way of preventing the next Vicki Zhao or Kris Wu?
The showbiz scene in China is going through a very, um, interesting period right now, what with all the new rules and restrictions that have been popping up ever since stars like Vicki Zhao, Kris Wu, and Zheng Shuang got cancelled for unscrupulous — or straight up criminal — behaviour.
And now, it appears the government is very keen on making sure other celebs are extremely clear on how they should and should not behave.
Recently, Shanghai’s culture and tourism, literary and art, and publicity bureaus came together to organise a “training class in art and virtue for writers and artists in the city”, which aims to “correct unhealthy trends in the entertainment industry” by improving political literacy, legal awareness, and moral values.
Among the attendees at the two-day course, which consisted of around 200 industry professionals from Shanghai’s literary and art circles, were Chinese actresses Sun Li, 38, and Tiffany Tang Yan, 37.
In an interview, Sun Li said that the classes helped her to become “clearer about her values, social responsibilities, and what direction her work should go”.
The Star Search 2001 Shanghai female champ also hopes to “create more work that is meaningful, faithful, and has good values to everyone”, and added that as an artist, her most important tasks are to keep improving her knowledge, be strict with her self-discipline, and maintain good conduct.
Hey Sun Li, don’t forget to pay your taxes, avoid doing anything that could get you arrested, and stay far away from controversial Japanese shrines too.
