ZHANG YIXING: If everyone is supporting him because of his dancing and singing instead, he will be even happier. I can really guarantee you on that~
I usually refrain myself from translating about his past, but this is posted on weibo and already has a lot of reposts… and I have already seen people translating this for their own selfish purpose — because it’s so long, they only translated the parts about his past, completely ignoring the original intention of the OP, which is to let people understand what he went through to get to where he is today.
This account is written by yixing’s good friend, the one who danced to Nobody with him back in 2008. I also translated bits and pieces of his past, you can get to know more about him through this c: but please, don’t forget about what the OP had in mind when he wrote this, my baby really deserves all the support and love TT
Me and Zhang Yixing went to the same school ever since Junior High. At that time, I wasn’t close with him. After we got to high school, we would play the basketball together. The start of our friendship was formed at the basketball court.
After that, he joined our Streetdance club. Slowly, we contacted each other more and more often. Afterall, we had more topics to talk about. At that time, he also focused on popping, just like me.
Not long after we became close friends, he went to SM to become a trainee. He came back for a few times, and every time he does, I could feel the obvious change in him. He became more and more mature. The most memorable moment was when he came back for the last few times and insisted on reminding us, "You guys have to study hard, this path of mine is really too hard for me to walk on. It’s just that I have no choice, there’s no turning back for me anymore."
