Don't know if you guys have already heard of it or not, but people in China have begun to speak of a certain "happy family of three":
Yeah, "Lele's (that means Pan Zhanle's) family", consisting of Lele's Dad, a.k.a Sun Yang, and Lele's Mom, a.k.a Wang Shun.
"How did it come to this?" well,
1. OGG (= Olympic Games Gold) Sun Yang, Wang Shun and Pan Zhanle are the only three olympic gold medalists 🥇 on the Chinese men's swimming team (for now). So as far as their abilities are concerned (and because of the OGG exclusivity), they "form a unit/family".
2. Pan Zhanle's Idol
I mean, one cannot blame him, those stats are impressive:
(Though he looks up to Wang Shun as well.)
3. The "Zhejiang ABC"
Now, what do those Chinese vehicle registration plates have to do with these three men?
The answer is easy: Sun Yang comes from Hangzhou (A), Wang Shun from Ningbo (B), and Pan Zhanle from Wenzhou (C).
(People are predicting, that the next olympic gold medallist most probably is going to be somebody hailing from Shaoxing (D).)
4. Similar "record-breaking experiences"
Pan Zhanle and Sun Yang both have similar "record-breaking experience". Both of them first set new records in the world championships before doing so for the second time in the Olympics.
(5. the most important point [according to Chinese netizens]
Sun Yang and Wang Shun never denied the "accusation" that Pan Zhanle is their child.
You see the similarities. DO YOU SEE THEM?)😏😝
Whatever the case is, Sun Yang took it with good humor (or more like he tried not to break out in laughter) when he was being confronted with this on a live stream.
And the netizens have already mapped out the whole family by now:
...or more like the "four great families".
And yes, Mr. Balenciaga is the older brother.
....
Now,
PS: there is now a translated version of the somewhat confusing relationship chart.
