The reason is that her self-produced new drama "My Boy" received financial support from the Taiwan authorities and was required to participate in the award evaluation "in the name of the Republic of China or Taiwan" and was reported by netizens to be removed.

CCTV News: Recently, Taiwanese artist Lin Hsin-ru sparked public opinion "gasoline" again because her self-produced new drama "My Boy" received financial support from the Taiwan authorities and was required to participate in the award evaluation. Or participate in the name of Taiwan" and was reported by netizens and removed from the shelves.

Stills from "My Boy".

Ruby Lin, who has always been popular with mainland audiences, has been involved in "Taiwan independence" news. This is not the first time. Last September, Lin Xinru caused an uproar by endorsing Taiwanese artist Rainie Yang's Weibo with the content "Taiwanese people support Taiwanese movies." Although the Weibo was quickly deleted, the impact of the incident is far from dissipated. .

Ruby Lin is a "two-faced" person who not only eats mainland China's "patriotic rice" but also wants Taiwanese subsidies?

Some netizens also picked up a response from Ruby Lin and Huo Jianhua after the results of the South China Sea arbitration in 2016. They forwarded a map of China's territory and the nine-dash line in the name of their studio. On this map, Taiwan is also marked in red, representing the unity of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. "Nothing less" is the caption they accompanied with the picture.

This patriotic act attracted many fans of Ruby Lin at the time, but it seems very ironic today. While taking advantage of the mainland people's desire for peaceful cross-strait reunification to please the market, she did not give up maintaining good relations with the Tsai administration to obtain financial aid. This This image of a "two-faced man" is really difficult to justify.

Ruby Lin’s studio issued a statement.

Some people defended Ruby Lin, saying that the NT$20 million was just a subsidy from Taiwan's "Ministry of Culture". This may be a deliberate smear campaign. Ruby Lin herself insisted that she had no Taiwanese independence tendencies, but netizens were still indignant.

National roots, identity and emotions cannot be trampled upon or deceived, so when "Taiwan independence" is linked to "celebrities", it will tug at people's sensitive points.

"Put down the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks to curse." Some Taiwanese artists have no bottom line

When it comes to artists who have been banned due to the Taiwan independence incident, Zhang Huimei is probably the first one that comes to mind. Amei, who was extremely popular back then, was not only banned by mainland officials after she expressed her stance of "Taiwan independence", but even her fans no longer supported her.

After this, Taiwanese artists have indeed learned a lot. They are now used to "eating" and "smashing pots" at the same time: some do Tai Chi on the "Taiwan independence" issue and do not directly state their position; some say on stage that they are Chinese people in the audience firmly support "one China, one Taiwan"; there are also some who know nothing about Chinese history and wantonly entertain themselves, but when they go to the mainland to "make money", they act innocently and describe themselves as "immature".

Taiwanese artist Rainie Yang.

For example, Taiwanese idol Rainie Yang once lamented in a variety show: The Anti-Japanese War "only lasted eight years?" and only "400,000" people died? These two sentences are still a thorn in the hearts of many mainland netizens. She herself was once rated as "the most hated Taiwanese artist by mainland audiences". Later, Rainie Yang publicly apologized, saying that she "didn't read much and was young and ignorant," but it had little effect.

also lacks historical knowledge. The Taiwanese artist Jolin Tsai said the answer to "Which Three Kingdoms does the Romance of the Three Kingdoms refer to?" as "Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei." However, he was not chased and beaten for it. This shows that the audience can accept "ignorance" ”, but cannot tolerate no bottom line.

Also in 2006, ELLA, a member of the Taiwanese girl group S.H.E., talked about Japan with great interest during an interview, and declared: "Taiwan and Japan are my two favorite countries." This sentence made the audience silent, and also The subsequent journey north to "catch gold" is considered the most criticized point. Although on many occasions later, S.H.E and their managers stated that they had no "Taiwan independence tendencies," it was inevitable that people would speculate that they were just being hypocritical and coy about not wanting to lose the mainland market.

Taiwanese artist Dai Liren.

In 2016, the new film "No Other Love" directed by Zhao Wei fell into the whirlpool of controversy. Starring Leon Dai was discovered by mainland netizens two years ago to be a supporter of Taiwan's "anti-service trade" Sunflower Student Movement and a supporter of "anti-curriculum fine-tuning."The "Taiwanese independence artist" is firmly established, and many mainland netizens spontaneously called for a boycott of "No Other Love". As the incident continues to escalate, the producers of "No Other Love" issued a statement stating that they will replace the male lead Leon Dai.

Zhang Guoli was once blocked in the toilet for criticizing "Taiwan independence artists"

During the National Two Sessions in 2017, some Taiwanese artists who advocated "Taiwan independence" were boycotted by netizens when they performed in mainland China, which aroused heated discussion among participating committee members.

Zhang Guoli spoke at a panel discussion at the CPPCC meeting.

actor Zhang Guoli said: "One of our values ​​​​is called patriotism." We must pay attention to the situation of "a very few people who scold them when they go back after making money here." For this reason, Taiwanese media surrounded him at the door of the toilet during the discussion and asked repeatedly, "Who is the artist you are referring to? What is your starting point for saying this?"

Zhang Guoli responded more sharply, "The starting point still needs to be asked. Oppose secession and Taiwan independence!"

Singer Chen Sisi, who is also a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also believes that "Taiwan independence" artists who have no sense of national identity should be firmly resisted from coming to the mainland to make money.

In 2015, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council made a clear position: We will never allow a few people to make money on the mainland while supporting "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and damaging cross-strait relations.

It can be seen that from the official to the private sector, mainland China has zero tolerance for artists involved in "Taiwan independence".

To be honest, most Taiwanese artists developing in the mainland are good, have a sense of national identity, and identify themselves as "Chinese". The mainland's literary and art market has also become more prosperous because of the addition of different types of elements. . However, since "Taiwan independence" artists keep an eye on the mainland market and believe that the money is far easier to earn than working hard in Taiwan, and are unwilling to correct their own national concepts that have gone astray due to various reasons, they cannot simply say "this is an artist." He defended himself on the grounds of "freedom and private affairs". After all, even if he calls for "Potian Qu", he cannot deny the fact that peaceful reunification of both sides of the Taiwan Strait is the right path of history and the aspiration of the people.

For celebrities, the money they earn does not matter whether they are "independent" or "unified", but for the audience, their personalities can be divided into "high" and "low". Especially in the current situation where cross-Strait relations are facing shocks and full of variables, cross-Strait peace requires positive energy exchanges between people on both sides of the Strait, not ambiguous and ambiguous attitudes and positions, let alone false patriotic feelings after "packaging".

This "patriotic rice" is not easy to mess with, and mainland audiences are not that stupid. I hope these artists, who are exposed to news involving "Taiwan independence" from time to time, should be more careful! (Text/Fan Fan)
