Clarifications

1. Ms Dewi Sukarno is regarded by the Japanese public as a comedian in variety shows, who can be hired to attend weddings/events to entertain the audience. Prior to 813, her Chinese Baidu entry (equivalent to wiki) was edited misleading readers to believe (+)
#ZhangZheHan

(+) she was the wife of Indonesian president Suharto who ordered the murder of Chinese Indonesians. However, her actual husband was Indonesian president Sukarno, who was amicable to the Chinese. The Baidu page also wrote she 'made statements discriminating Chinese'.
#ZhangZheHan

2. Nogi shrine nowadays is a popular wedding venue, even its own website advertises this. Though on 12/08/21, a Chinese Baidu entry was created for Nogi shrine (and then edited on 13/8) stating it enshrines Count Nogi Maresuke and his wife (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+Nogi Maresuke was a historical figure involved in Japan's war with China before the 1900s. However, prior to 12/8, information of the shrine and the count would be regarded as trivia. All of a sudden on 813, it became 'common knowledge' amongst the Chinese netizens.
#ZhangZheHan

3. Mr. Zhang Zhehan does not know Ms. Dewi Sukarno personally. They were requested to take a photo together by the groom at the 2019 friend's wedding in Nogi shrine. The photo was later used on 813 to falsely accuse him as being associated with Japanese 'right wing'.
#ZhangZheHan

+Her own blog at the time wrote that 'the speaker' was inappropriately dressed in jeans & sneakers for a wedding, so she did not even know his name. In the interview Mr. Li posted on 1 Jan 2022, Mr. Zhang Zhehan claimed, "I don't know her, have no contacts with her."
#ZhangZheHan

4. His friend's wedding reception was not in Nogi shrine. It was held in another building 10min walk from it. The wedding ceremony was held on the public path OUTSIDE of Nogi shrine, where 2 other shrines are also located nearby. Tourists can easily confused them.
#ZhangZheHan

In conclusion for pic. 1, How was Mr. Zhang supposed to know about Ms Dewi Sukarno's political background prior to 813? Would you do background checks of the guests of your friend's wedding before attending? Before 813, how much did we know about Nogi shrine? (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+No one should be expected to endorse the political stance of someone they've only met once at a friend's wedding. If just by having a photo is proof of political stance, then Mr. Zhang's family of 3 generations of CCP members surely can prove his political stance.
#ZhangZheHan

5. Ms Dewi Sukarno's Baidu entry was modified to remove the mention of '4th wife of president Sukarno' and that she once 'smashed the car of Japanese right wing', and blurred the narrative to say 'previous first lady' and 'made statements that discriminated Chinese'.
#ZhangZheHan

6. The slanderous effort went to the extent of 'exchanging' (on Baidu) Ms Dewi's husband from Sukarno, who initiated the non-aligned movement and was overthrown due to being pro-communist, to Suharto, who was given the title of 'the president who murdered Chinese'.
#ZhangZheHan

7-9. Changing people's identities/nationalities
7. Wedding guest ➡️ Extreme right wing:
A photo of Mr. Syohei Kondo (guest at the wedding) becomes rumoured to be Toshio Motoya (president of APA hotels), who is perceived to have an extreme right wing political stance.
#ZhangZheHan

8. A friend in a photo ➡️ Kotaro Koizumi:
The photo of Zhang and a friend (looking to be in his 20s) was spread around, and all of a sudden, his friend is rumoured to be Kotaro Koizumi (in his 40s), the eldest son of 56th Japanese Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi.
#ZhangZheHan

9. Feather pattern worn by groom ➡️ Koizumi family emblem,
Groom's ancestry ➡️ Junichiro Koizumi's nephew:
The truth is the outfit worn by the groom
- can be bought by anyone online;
- was featured in a wedding in a Chinese drama;
- rented out from the shrine, (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+ the wedding plan said for couples to not bring their own outfits;
- featured in Nogi shrine website wedding advertisements;

The feather pattern outfit worn by the groom is not even his own, and is widely seen, so it cannot possibly be the Koizumi family emblem.
#ZhangZheHan

10. Mr. Zhang Zhehan can't speak Japanese ➡️ fluent at Japanese:
There is a video of him saying that he learnt a well wish phrase in Japanese just so he could use it in the wedding speech, then he reads off his phone and struggled to form the Japanese sentence.😂 (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+But 'water armies' twisted the story and stated that from the video, it is evident that Zhang Zhehan is 'fluent in Japanese' (???), and he can't even speak in his own Jiangxi dialect, but can make a speech in Japanese.
People became blind in the eyes and the heart.
#ZhangZheHan

11. Wrong spelling of 'China':
A screencap of an IG account with its ID cropped out spelt 'China' as 'chaina', so malicious netizens claimed it was Zhang's account, saying he must be so in love with Japan to have spelt China wrong. But it was the groom's IG account.
#ZhangZheHan

12. Culprits created a fake website lenatto.com with photo of Yasukuni shrine in front, then spread rumours that it was the groom's company website. When in fact, the groom's company website was lenatto.co.jp, where there's REAL products listed.
#ZhangZheHan

In conclusion for pic. 2, just from one wedding stemmed over 10 pieces of slanders in order to defame a fellow citizen. As long as they continue the 'tranformation, the public will be loaded with 'misinformation', then an average wedding ➡️ party for 'right wingers'.
#ZhangZheHan

13. Culprits photoshopped dahepiao.com (ticketing website) and spread fake news that Zhang will hold his 2 concerts on 14/08 (comfort women remembrance day) and 18/9 (Mukden Incident), both sensitive dates in Chinese history, when 'fun' is frowned upon.
#ZhangZheHan

14. Kafka on the shore & Killing Commendatore (by Murakami Haruki) neither made mention nor implied Yasukuni shrine & Nogi shrine in its text. However, netizens were led to believe they had, thus, slandering both Zhang, who have read them, and their anti-war author.
#ZhangZheHan

15. Zhang posted his love for his country on 1.10.18, China's national day. Rumours said he was expressing love to Japan at that time, showing photos of him touring Japan. His fans later debunked this with photos of him coming out of Shanghai airport (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+and these photos were timestamped just minutes after the time he made his post about love for his motherland. This proves he rushed back from overseas to celebrate China's national day.
And besides, the national day of Japan and China aren't even the same day. 😂
#ZhangZheHan

16. Photos circulated around of the crowd in a patriotic song's music video all with flags in their hands, but showing Zhang as empty handed, thus branded unpatriotic. The culprit purposely omitted the other lead singers in the same video who were also empty handed.
#ZhangZheHan

17. The hand gesture that was accused of as being a nazi salute is the same patriotic hand sign used by the Chinese meaning 'advance courageously'. He also did not make this gesture in front of Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall, but was far from it (23 min by car).
#ZhangZheHan

18. His statement "the sea is tolerant" was him sharing about his diving instructor showing him the waste glass thrown into the ocean is re-gifted back as beautiful 'sea glass'. This was twisted to make him sound like a supporter of dumping waster water into the sea.
#ZhangZheHan

19. Su Xiao Xiao tomb is an empty tomb & tourist destination where people touched it wishing for good fortune. 813 fabricated Su Xiao Xiao, who was fictional, to be a martyr with a real tomb. Hence, the photo of Zhang sitting on the tomb was seen as disrespectful.
#ZhangZheHan

20. Zhang was photoshopped grappling the nipple of a mermaid statue. Netizens later analysed and debunked it because there is no way for his upper body to be leveled with the whole of the 20m tall mermaid, and have the ropes clearly seen in the foreground as well.
#ZhangZheHan

21. Zhang's efforts to fit in his ordinary deliver man character in the short film 'Brother' was smeared with labels of 'ugly', 'animal desire' and 'sexual harrassing female co-star'. In reality, on the day when he was discussing the character with the director, (+)
#ZhangZheHan

+his female co-star was not present, and even though he did casually use the phrase 'animal desire' to describe his bed scene, he later said, "No I shouldn't use this phrase, instead there's a lot of passion piling up."
Such sorrow for an actor to be misinterpreted.
#ZhangZheHan

22. There was a blooper clip with Zhang in shorts, so his co-star had a laugh on Weibo, he then interacted and joked, "My bottom half of the body is clearly not as good at acting as my top half." The culprit took it out of context and smeared it as sexual harassment.
#ZhangZheHan

In conclusion for pic. 3, the plan was to exhaust all possible forceful associations, misinterpretations, hid the truth, & took everyday words and deed out of context. His love for China, protection of the sea and dedication to acting all became weapons against him.
