Banned for Two and a Half Years: Who Even Works in Showbiz Anymore?

[Slice of life, no heroine] Three years after his debut, he was banned for two and a half years.

Lin Qian, once hailed as a musical genius for a single song, vanished from the public eye.

The ban did nothing to shake his resolve. Instead, he focused on his studies and successfully earned a doctorate in music.

When he finally returned to the public eye, Lin Qian was a respected university lecturer.

A realist singer, Lin Qian often takes his students on field trips to gather inspiration and writes songs for them to study.

On a trip to the Forbidden City, his song “Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth” silenced the rumors.

In Jiangnan, “Jiangnan” ushered in a new era of traditional Chinese-style music.

In the porcelain capital, “Blue and White Porcelain” secured its place at the very top of the genre.

Albums he creates for his students repeatedly break streaming records. Films his students make for their graduation projects break box office records, while their television productions smash ratings records and become perennial summer hits.

Years later, fans hoping for Lin Qian’s return raise money to book the Bird’s Nest and host a concert for him.

But Lin Qian is already on the battlefield in Mao Xiong, gathering teaching materials for the new semester.
