Ning Zetao Busy Doing Charity in the Rain, Paid for a Vase Broken by a Fan

Added October 23rd

Recently Ning Zetao was in Shanghai doing a low-key charity tour, fans that heard about it chased after him and followed him, one of the fans bumped into a table at the hotel and knocked over a vase which broke, Ning Zetao not only affectionately reminded the fans to be careful, but also told the hotel workers that he will compensate them for their loss. The fans praised him and called him a “warm man.”

October 22nd, Shanghai had a typhoon with heavy rain, at 5:00AM, fans gathered at Ning Zetao’s hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol. To participate in his charitable activities, Ning Zetao appeared at about 5:30AM at the hotel lobby, walking and patiently chatting with his fans. One of the girls in the process of following Ning Zetao bumped into a table and knocked it over, shattering the vases that were on it. Ning Zetao saw it, quickly reminded his fans to be safe and told the hotel workers: “This is something I should definitely pay for, put it on my room card.” After his event, Ning Zetao added: “The table was very big, it would already be pretty unbearable if I bumped into it, let alone a lady.” At night, Ning Zetao affectionately comforted his fans on Weibo, telling them to be careful.

Ning Zetao will be in Shanghai for 2 days to do charity events, on the 21st he went to a university campus to talk about the subject “Being Good is an Expression of Beauty.” On the 22nd, he went to Shanghai Fudan Pediatric Hospital to visit children with congenital heart disease and help them improve their health.

Ning Zetao has always been concerned about participating in events related to social welfare, these issues affects a lot of the younger generation who follow him. Fans are extremely moved but at the same time, reminded their idol who does charity despite the typhoon, to stay warm and take care of himself.

Does ning zetao eat much?

he probably does but athletes are generally really careful with what they eat

[ningzetaos]

does Ning speak English?

I think he can speak pretty basic English because he has to communicate with his Australian trainer somehow lol

[ningzetaos]

Do you remember when Ning was asked about the South Korean gymnast? he said he would think about it after the games but now his mind is too worried about his performance at the games :(

lol yes how could i ever forget when Son Yeon Jae confessed her attraction for him and everyone went into a frenzy and asked him about her “confession”. But yeah seeing how he hasn’t performed at the recent Olympics I doubt his “ideal type” would be given any priority anytime soon..

His New Instagram Profile Picture

Translation Request

Somebody requested this article

Main Points:

- He had issues with his sports governing body because he had a commercial contract with another company but they wanted to sign the entire team with another company and forced him to break the contract, it made him look bad

- His friends took sides in the matter and he felt really lonely and isolated

- in November 2015, one of teammates who was seemingly healthy suddenly passed away, her name was Qi Wenyi and she was 17, the entire country was perplexed and nobody would offer any details

- Ning has been struggling with injuries, he has a known knee condition that made him switch from being a long distance swimmer

- He does not have as many sponsors coming to find him because he’s not producing enough results

- Recently he made some very vague comments about his future, if he is losing interest in swimming, he might choose to retire

T/N: The article seems very solemn but I think it’s just emotional since the Olympics was so recent, he needs to take it step by step and reorganize himself. His times are the Olympics were still of the best in China, we will see as time goes on.

Ning Zetao Back in Beijing Part 2

[ningzetaos]

you probably feel the same way too but i'm kinda worried about ning.. i hope he doesn't give up on swimming because that would be a shame..

shush we musn’t talk about him quitting! sure he missed an extremely important opportunity in this Olympics but I’m certain it won’t be his last! Let’s all hope that he’ll take something back from this and continue to get better at what he does! Not every day is a Sunday but with hard work and perseverance he’ll be out there slaying again!!
