Zhang Linghe ’s popularity was just taking off, you know? And then this weekend, things went sideways. A promotional appearance in Nanning? It turned into a total mess.
What was supposed to be a packed event for an eyewear brand on May 31st? It became pure chaos. Thousands of people just started gathering outside a shopping mall hours before Zhang was supposed to show up. The anticipation built up all morning, and the crowd just kept swelling around the entrance.
Then the mall opened.
Fans just pushed forward. That’s when the glass entrance panel shattered. It was dangerous, broken glass everywhere. But people kept moving inside, trying to get a look at the actor. Security and staff were scrambling, trying to manage the scene, clearing things out.
Later, Taiwanese media outlets, like ET Today , confirmed some damage. Five people got minor injuries—cuts, scratches from the broken glass. They got to the hospital, but nothing serious, thankfully.
The crowding didn't stop at the entrance. Videos started circulating online showing people filling up multiple levels of the shopping center. They were hanging around balconies, escalators, walkways just hoping for a glimpse. Safety concerns were getting really obvious, fast.
So, the organizers had to call it off. They cancelled the in-person appearance.
Instead, Zhang just connected with everyone through a livestream. It went virtual.
Right after that, his studio dropped a statement on Weibo. An apology, mostly. They apologized for the whole disruption.
It sounded kind of formal, but you could sense the pressure. They basically said, “The event was changed last minute. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Your safety matters most, always.”
Then there was the money talk. The actor’s team announced they wouldn't let fans footing the bill for the trip. They said the studio would cover everything related to the cancellation. Airfare, high-speed rail, hotel bookings, even taxis.
Fans wanting that money back had to do paperwork. Submit documents, fill out forms. Deadline was noon on June 3rd. They said claims would be reviewed one by one, and everything supposed to be paid out by June 15th.
The eyewear brand also apologized. They confirmed the injured got medical help. They said attendees would be contacted about the compensation details.
But it wasn't just about the incident. People were talking about Zhang’s rise anyway. It seems impossible to ignore how much star power he has now.
He’s twenty-eight. A huge boost came from that historical romance drama, Pursuit of Jade , co-starring Tian Xiwei. That show really helped him get noticed.
Pursuit of Jade followed Fan Changyu. She was a butcher’s daughter who saved someone during a snowstorm. She thought he was just a struggling scholar. Turns out, he was actually Xie Zheng, a powerful Marquis hiding his identity while fighting for his family’s revenge. Their arrangement started practical, then turned into something more, navigating all that political stuff.
Plus, he’s done other stuff too. My Journey To You , The Best Thing . He’s one of those young stars everyone is watching in Chinese TV right now.
