Changsha Evening News: The appointment and press conference for Zhang Yixing, the new promotional ambassador of Hunan province’s Communist Youth Group took place this afternoon in Changsha (the provincial capital). Prior to the ceremony, the news of this was going viral on the web for quite awhile. What are the impressions of the newly appointed ambassador? And what are his plans for this new job that he accepted?

As a cast in the currently popular TV show The Mystic Nine, Zhang Yixing whose native tongue is the Changsha dialect, feels especially close to the people of Hunan. As a representative of young artists from Hunan, Zhang Yixing reported that being appointed the provincial Communist Youth League promotional ambassador has been particularly excited. Zhang Yixing said “it makes me very happy to contribute to my home province.†He also promised that in the future, he will use his humble efforts and return home more often.

In recent years, the Communist Youth League of the Hunan Provincial has been working close with the youth, integrating into youth culture and carrying out “I Love Society†events in the top colleges’ and universities’ student clubs. As well, Zhang Yixing will serve as the campus promotional ambassador. Zhang Yixing has revealed that during his school years, he actively participated in various student organizations, such as basketball club, hip-hop club, music club and so on. Participating in these school clubs has been helpful, apart from lessening the pressure from school, they have also helped him cultivate interests and hobbies and enriched his leisure life. The dancing and singing skills he gained as a student has also been a positive impact on his career right now. He encourages the Hunan youth and tells them that “an active youth is the most vibrant youth. I hope everyone will try hard and work hard.â€
　
This is Zhang Yixing’s first public activity as the newly appointed ambassador, although he has lots of experience participating in charitable events in the past. He introduced charity project as someone with experience and said “charitable work shouldn’t be measured by money. Donating money isn’t the only charitable activity we can do. Every little kind action is an act of charity, so every humble action, no matter how little, matters. I also recommend that when you do participate in charitable activities, you do what you can and don’t force yourself.â€

At the appointment ceremony, Zhang Yixing represented his fans and his fan charity (Zhang Yixing Love Fund) and made donation towards Chengbu Dan Town Center School, Leanpu Miao Dong Ethnic Group Lianfeng school, Wugang City Shuangpai Town Silong Elementary School and Guanxia school etc., for a total of nine Shaoyang schools in needs. According to reports, he will be also be shooting for promotional posters for ‘Build the New China Dream’ and for Hunan Communist Youth League. These posters will be shown in Subways and campus around Hunan.

Translator's notes:
I translated this article because I wanted to clarify a few things as people seemed to be confused as to what is ‘communist’ youth league is and what is a ‘propaganda’ ambassador.

First of all, please remember that China is still a country with one ruling party and may not be politically free as where you and I live. Any charity or associations that’s government sponsored are thereby communist organizations. The Hunan provincial chapter of China’s Youth League is just that. The majority of high school students in China belong to this League! It is not the same thing as being a member of the communist party. And even then, lots of people join the communist party not that they believe in the ideology but for job security and other reasons!

Secondly, I shake my fist at whoever was responsible for making Lay’s official job title “Propaganda Ambassador†in English. 宣传 is not propaganda in this setting. It means to promote/to publicize. You don’t ever see the news translate EXO宣传 to EXO propaganda do you? Shakes fist super hard.

As you know, Yixing is passionate about charity work and loves his country. He’s just trying to help out his home town and home province here! And maybe get a chance to go home more often to I donno, eat his mom’s home made food! He has made a Music Scholarship at his old high school. His fan club charity is one that is consistently active and has made high rankings on China’s charity chart. Most recently, they donated books and sports equipment to a poor school for every episode of Go Fighting!

I can’t help you if you still take offence at the word communist and or propaganda but I’ve explained my stance and I hope you have a better understanding of what’s going on.

Thanks Addie for sharing (I haven't check Yixing thread so I haven't read your post)

 

That was a worthwhile read especially the translator's notes  :), but no matter what, people will always try to twist things, especially when people are so gullible and can be so easily mislead

 

So True
