I had a dream, like a postcard from the future. There was the morning light I once gazed at, standing on tiptoe.
On waking, I realized that this beam of future light was actually a lamp lit by the past. I am grateful for the falls I've experienced and the hands that have held me.
The future beckons in my dream, the past leans on me, and I'm on my way.
New Year’s wishes: sunlight drifts gently through the window, and you poke at it absently while rummaging through the fridge for little bread rolls. Within these tiny fragments of everyday life hides a quiet sense of ceremony and warmth.
As your hand brushes over the calendar of a new year, the past softens the once-rigid armor, and your lively childlike heart remains unfrozen by time. At work you are sharp and reliable, a man of action, but once you step back into daily life you allow time to pause for a while, to wander curiously or to daydream in stillness, letting each second and minute flow freely through the light of beautiful days, calm and unhurried.
You move constantly between work and life, balancing yourself with the reflection in the mirror. Whether advancing or retreating you never lose your love and hope for the world. Whether walking or resting, each journey brings new surprises and different views to behold.
At this very second, you make a wish for the coming year.
For the next 365 days, may Xiao Zhan hear endless melodies of beauty and see a world full of wonder. May countless freshly baked, crisp little bread rolls be waiting for you. May your eyes still shine with light, your spirit still sparkle brightly, and through the long passage of time, may you meet a brand-new version of yourself.
i have never been a fan of potential data privacy leaks to prove anything between xz and wyb. you can say that unreleased bts, airport photos/videos, backstage stuff are “leaks” but literal government owned stuff is a different scope altogether. and this is why, for those who are on weibo, and wondering why turtles are crying about a certain “candy” but their posts are locked 🔒, this is why. it’s not new. we’ve all heard it at some point or another. the whole covid test fiasco. it’s similar to that. there is a screencap that shows wyb’s (alleged) jiànkāngmǎ information and who ( of course it’s related to xz that’s why it is regarded as candy ) it’s linked to. there you go. i won’t hold anyone in suspense of what this “big candy” is that everyone seems to be whispering about.
you are not missing out on anything.
there are waaaay better “proofs” out there as to why it’s bjyxszd. we can’t be promoting people who share or hint at this kind data, and well, we don’t even know if it’s real or not.
personally, i’m not a fan of this health code app / contact tracing technology. it has been misused before, primarily in WYB’s hometown of Henan where people were issued false red warnings ( meaning they can’t be roaming around cause they are a health risk ) just so they can’t go out and protest.
The summer heat is sweltering, and the long-awaited rainy season has arrived with a swift urge. It was a typical, hot and humid day, but as the sun sets again, you reach your 28th climb. At this moment, something feels different.
The immaturity of 17 has faded, the tension of 23 has smoothed, and the anxiety of 25 has settled. 28 is the perfect age.
You still dive deeply into the light and shadow, but that immersion has a newfound ease, allowing your emotions to build a stronger intensity beneath the calm. You still live by your passion, but this dedication has been enriched with more brilliant insights, clear and grand, firmly supporting your every curiosity. As a result, the world's gifts are no longer confined to a single quadrant, but instead surge towards you with a more magnificent presence.
You still relish the lightning-fast pace and enjoy the lightness of soaring upwards. But now, your pursuit is no longer about a destination you must reach, but about the uninterrupted trajectory of your heart. You're accustomed to gazing at the sky and clouds between ascents, the mountain breeze rustling in your ears, the sudden downpour soaking your clothes, the stars casting a curtain, filling the cracks of life with pure joy. Thus, in your focus, the world stretches out, a racetrack of infinite distance and a mountain of infinite height.
Over the past few months, you've continued to challenge yourself, constantly experimenting and refining in the recording studio. You retain your wildness and innocence, sharing the insights you've learned on the vertical rock face, weaving life's experiences into every word. You still harbor a clumsy romanticism, reflecting the dust and morning dew everywhere you look into the glimmer of light in your images, hotter than anything else.
People often worry about the uncontrollable development of things, but you always find certainty in the ever-changing world. The longitude and latitude of the universe become the ropes in your hands, pulling you to any destination. Yibo, after every mountain, there are higher mountains. Don't worry about what lies beyond the mountains. Just do what you want to do. Now is the perfect time.
28th-year-old @UNIQ-Wang Yibo ! 💚
I hope you will continue to like it, stay proactive, and never lack the courage to try. If your heart is simple and pure, everything will be broad, and your world will be infinite.
every cpf is aware of the new/old bts videos going around. i am enjoying all of them of course, it’s nice to see new perspectives of events we are familiar with. also having “new” content even in the year 2025 is such a flex. lol. it will never end! next year is 2026, who knows what other videos or photos are there for people to share.
this one tho has to be my favorite. it may look simple, they are in a group just chillin. a normal moment. in between shooting — spending time with their co-stars and friends.
but what gets me and i guess everyone else, is how xz just had to sit next to yibo. he’s like — nope, i have to be next to him to wzc. 😂😂😂
then it cuts to a close up of them. again. just two guys next to each other. nooooo. they are so cute! i’m sensing it all with XZ. it trips me out how young yibo looks in this BTS. seeing him talk so animatedly and probably not noticing XZ’s internal monologue. the way i’m seeing ( and cpn interpreting tbh ) this, XZ is hyperaware of WYB. it’s the kind of sensitivity you get with someone you are attracted to. when you are unusually or intensely tuned in to everything related to them. your thoughts, feelings, and physical reactions tend to center around their presence, actions, or even just the idea of them. i’m torn between screaming in cpf and feeling a bit sorry for XZ’s struggle. lol.
i love this interpretation of their POVs.
XIAO ZHAN POV:
WYB POV:
it’s interesting to see this dynamic cause it’s a popular narrative that “wyb is the good puppy chasing xz”. tho that has it’s merit too and we literally have evidence to support it— it doesn’t mean that it’s all wyb. xz has his ways too. subtle ones most of the time and if you pay attention, it’s so obvious. and yibo acting like he doesn’t notice and being his usual handsome/charming/endearing self. xz had no chance at all. there was no other choice for him but to fall further. ❤️💛💚
i was just talking about cpfs wanting to see the dinner video with cql crew from 2018 and here we are. lol. lrlg yesterday and now this? happy new year! despite some irritating anti narratives out there. let’s focus on the positive!
it’s 2025 and we still get new material! ohhhh! the times they can be seen like this in public.
As long as you don't cry. You just need to bloom. I will never leave
At the end of 2024, Wang Yibo released his personal single "I am not here" as a singer as scheduled. Bypassing the four seasons, you and I can briefly reunite in this song. "I’m here" is the initial declaration to the world, and it is also the perseverance to ask thousands of questions. This is a word that carries a sense of belonging, and the source of the sense of belonging is self.
"I" no longer passively exist here, but actively participates in it. I’m here is the awareness of self. "I’’ here" is the most determined rush, it is you who are still blooming even if I leave you, it is me. I will not leave, because I am already a mountain and a sea. No matter if you turn around and see each other, or if you are facing life or death, regardless of distance or life, I am always there. I hope you will be determined because of my determination.
Every time you look at the mountains and sea, every time the fireworks freeze, it is the reunion of life. The beginning of the song is composed of delicate whispers and soft and melodious strings, which is as reassuring as the trickle of clear dew. Accompanied by a sudden surge of emotions, the song is penetrating with rich instrumental layers. The sound progresses layer by layer, and is full of passion like the eruption of magma. "The heart enters the mountains and the body falls into the mountains. "The sea" is boiling with echoes, and there is nothing more meaningful than the sound of the heartbeat at this moment.
There is nothing more powerful than the sound of "I’m here". My presence is the resonance between people. For this visual presentation, Wang Yibo chose to interpret "I" from a natural perspective. "I" is rooted in this land, connected by veins, and time and space are close to each other. "I" live in symbiosis with the mountain, breathe with you, and experience the ups and downs of life. We go through the ups and downs with all things, so the green mountains are flat, and "I" is always present.
I am here, a dialogue with the world. I AM NOT HERE, but I will always be there. This is what "I’m here" is all about. So darling, DON'T BE CRYING, Because this song is a symphony between you and me.

inspired by people who were curious about the books featured in xz’s video, let’s take a look at what they are. i’d like to think these were pre approved by XZ and are related to his interests. i’m not removing tge possibility that one of these were chosen by someone from xzs or the director himself. i’m tagging this as cpn because there will be some cpn. if you don’t wanna go that route and just enjoy learning about the titles featured, then go ahead. 😉
1. Restoration House by Kennesha Bucks
You don't have to live in your dream house to make your living spaces feel more like home. Home is meant to be a place to belong. A place to gather and connect. A place of beauty. A place to restore your soul. In Restoration House, author and designer Kennesha Buycks will encourage you to embrace your home and your story so you can create mindful spaces that give life to you, your loved ones, and all who enter.
2. LORI WILDE
that red book just says the author’s name and no actual title but if you look her up, she’s all about that romance novel. here is her website if you wanna know what i mean. if you move a bit, the spine of it says “boy” so i think it maybe one of those books that has the cowboys in it!
3. Next is LIT UP, which is a black book. I’m not so sure if it’s a real book and when you search it, there are a couple of contenders. Tho i personally gravitate towards p2 since it’s black and the plot of the story is something i think XZ will enjoy!
it says out of the cubicle and into the real world, it’s like him getting out of his work cubicle years ago and discovering the world.
book overview:
Eddy Gilmore found himself on society’s fringe after being exiled from Corporate America. Despite years of higher education and exemplary service inside a cubicle’s pixelated world, he had no tangible or transferable skills to offer his community. Amazingly, failure was the door into tapping dreams and gifts that had long been ignored as impractical.
This true to life adventure is a pilgrimage into the real world, a place where neighbors make and produce things that sustain life and bring joy. When their eyes were opened to the talents all around them, Eddy and his wife discovered how to produce value themselves, and sank roots into the community. By working together, they are building a life they might never need to retire from.
4. The Interior Design Handbook
Frida Ramstedt believes in thinking about how we decorate, rather than focusing on what we decorate with. We know more today than ever before about design trends, furniture, and knickknacks, and now Frida familiarizes readers with the basic principles behind interior and styling—what looks good and, most of all, why it looks good.
The Interior Design Handbook teaches you general rules of thumb—like what the golden ratio and the golden spiral are, the proper size for a coffee table in relation to your sofa, the optimal height to hang lighting fixtures, and the best ways to use a mood board—complete with helpful illustrations. Use The Interior Design Handbook to achieve a balanced, beautiful home no matter where you live or what your style is.
5. Limits of the Known
A celebrated mountaineer and author searches for meaning in great adventures and explorations, past and present.
David Roberts, "veteran mountain climber and chronicler of adventures" (Washington Post), has spent his career documenting voyages to the most extreme landscapes on earth. In Limits of the Known, he reflects on humanity’s—and his own—relationship to extreme risk. Part memoir and part history, this book tries to make sense of why so many have committed their lives to the desperate pursuit of adventure.
In the wake of his diagnosis with throat cancer, Roberts seeks answers with sharp new urgency. He explores his own lifelong commitment to adventuring, as well as the cultural contributions of explorers throughout history: What specific forms of courage and commitment did it take for Fridtjof Nansen to survive an eighteen-month journey from a record "farthest north" with no supplies and a single rifle during his polar expedition of 1893–96? What compelled Eric Shipton to return, five times, to the ridges of Mt. Everest, plotting the mountain’s most treacherous territory years before Hillary and Tenzing’s famous ascent? What drove Bill Stone to dive 3,000 feet underground into North America’s deepest cave?
What motivates the explorers we most admire, who are willing to embark on perilous journeys and push the limits of the human body? And what is the future of adventure in a world we have mapped and trodden from end to end?

8. The other book i’m seeing is WINTER TID then it cuts off so again it’s tricky to confirm what it is! My best guess is WINTER TIDE but if you google that — i can’t connect how XZ will read that lol.
EDIT: adding this one seen from the alternate MV,
The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice
is a vampire novel by American writer Anne Rice, the fourth in her The Vampire Chronicles series, following The Queen of the Damned (1988). Published in 1992, it continues the adventures of Lestat, specifically his efforts to regain his lost humanity during the late 20th century.
=========
now let’s look at the CPN.
i see fans saying the style related books could be because of his work before. but he is more of a digital and design artist right? he does logos and stuff that can help their brand identity. i don’t remember him being an interior designer. there is also the eat, drink, nap which has topics on cooking and being a good host. these books are making me clown so hard! my head canon is xz is keeping himself busy ( as if he is not busy enough already ) with designing their home. his and wyb’s — if that wasn’t clear enough, that’s what i’m insinuating. if he isn’t traveling, i would imagine he is the type who just wants to spend time at home in between jobs. it is their home. their sanctuary. so xz would make sure that it is according to what they both want and that it’s stylish.
and when he is at home sipping wine, while waiting for Bobo, is he reading a LORI WILDE BOOK? lol. sexy millionaire cowboy you say? 👀👀👀👀
😂😂😂😂😂
or reading something like the LIT UP book which is more up his alley ( but again i’m not sure if this is the exact title )
what is out of place is limits of the known. out of place compared to the theme of the other books, but xz is someone who is into nature and climbing of sorts. but i haven’t seen him climb the way yibo did in ETU. the most popular cpn is that this is yibo’s contribution to the selection. or maybe he read it after yibo and liked it. OR he is also becoming interested in rock climbing — which is not a far off possibility.
i have never made a post with this title before, but i have shared some cpn/speculation that deserve to be burned after reading. lol. this term is often used by cpfs for a candy or info related to the boys that may be “dangerous” — so you have to get rid of it after reading. but for my version of it, let’s describe it as something that is a level up from galaxy brain cpn. it’s the kind of cpn you will think twice or thrice before making up your mind about. 💫
we have (2) topics here and just a disclaimer that i am not confirming anything here. this content is for cpf only. don’t take it seriously!
(1) Who is An Huibo 安慧博?
fans noticed that there was a “stand in” credited for the we and life of us music videos and that is this person. think of it as a body double. it makes sense cause aside from that scene in WE, there are times that xz’s figure is against a backdrop so maybe they needed someone to do that. the clowning began when people were thinking about, what if the other xz in WE mv is actually WYB ⬇️⬇️⬇️
i can think of a couple of different reasons why this could be false but the strongest explanation for me is that xz will not allow wyb to so something like this. he is very superstitious. even if this is just acting, he will not allow them to act out a scene of betrayal. that for me is enough to shut this all down. but on the flipside, maybe wyb wanted him (xz) to play his first villain role opposite him in this music video.
now we have the reasons why fans think this is something worth looking at:
1. XZ and this An Huibo are the only 2 credited actors for both MVs. so it seems kinda special.
2. The director of this is LIN, the same one who directed WYB’s redmi advertisement. There are some CPNs both were made at the same studio. Which makes sense cause LIN has his own shooting studio. There is another separate CPN about this but the gist is we think this director is familiar with both of them. So XZ may be comfortable enough to bring WYB along and even include him in the video.
3. It may not be WYB himself, but he used that name to troll us. It’s so close, Huibo. Yibo.
4. I saw this explanation as well:
If "Anhuibo" is read according to the French transliteration as An Huibo, it would approximately read:
[ã чi bɔ]
·ã: similar to "ang";
·qi: similar to "wei" in Chinese, but lighter and soft;
·bo: similar to "wave", slightly shorter.
5. As a CPF, it’s so easy for our alarm bells to ring if you read that name. An alias of sorts for Bobo. some are saying he used this kind of jumbled name to combat the bad aura of their scene together. Since he is superstitious, this removes yibo’s name and identity as the stand in who stabbed XZ’s character. if that makes sense.
maybe we will know more when they release the behind the scenes video. that is if they show who this stand in is. let’s add this to the bjyx clowning vault in the meantime.
(2) XZ look-alike in the recent GRA
i was talking to @rainbowsky about this and my initial reaction was, cpn aside, i’m surprised at how people notice these things! which i actually should be used to considering turtle’s attention to detail, but still!
so here is the “evidence”
👀👀👀👀
like all other turtles, i’m someone who has stared at tons of photos of XZ. so i can totally understand why people would look twice at this person. i get i. i was staring at this photo for so long as well. however most of the cpfs comment on this is against this candy and they have valid reasons:
1. Why would he attend and be in the audience? XZ is someone lowkey so if he was there to accompany WYB, he will be backstage. Yes he is brave, but not like this — which seems almost careless.
2. There are names on the chair, so it’s not like anyone can just sit there casually.
3. Even if you believe in the probability, CPFs don’t wanna talk much about it cause it can be anti material. Saying XZ has to hide and can’t show his face in GRA. or why is he even there incognito when he doesn’t even have a project nominated. You all know how it goes, antis can twist the narrative. Plus we don’t want to accidentally expose them if this was true. We should not observe too much and post about it cause it will make it harder for them to do something similar in the future.
4. How did this person go unnoticed? Everyone had to get inside the security and there are cameras everywhere. He should have removed his cap and mask which — it’s impossible for someone to not notice XZ ( or is it? ). another thing is maybe he went to a diff entrance??
5. Some are washing it and saying it’s Yibo’s MUA.
Please take that last point i mentioned and carry it over to the reason why this look alike is sus. People are able to confirm that this is not WYB’s MUA because he was wearing a different cap. Even the hair and daresay the ears are not the same. and why would a MUA even be there? If WYB needs touch ups then they should do it backstage. If for some reason it has to be while the broadcast and recording was not on or was on a break, he should not sit there and act like a guest.
Yibo’s MUA, Wang Yiduo has been with him for years. He has years of experience being around celebrities and attending these events before WYB. So he knows the decorum. He will not sit there and act like a guest just because he feels like it.
I’m curious too, who is this person who can walk in— in an event filled with people that are dressed up and then come in with a mask and casual clothes. To be allowed to sit there. Who is special enough? Probably a celebrity? and that’s why some think it could be XZ. Even the staff and assistants during the event are dressed up which made this person stand out. As for the CPN explanation, it’s nice to think that XZ is so proud of Yibo’s nomination that he has to be there. He will find a way to be in the audience and witness this special moment. 💕
I think this can easily be analyzed more if we have the video but i don’t have time to rewatch the whole GRA and wait for this cut. Cause i wanna know if it’s even there, that’s how much we question things here! 🤣 It’s so sus to me that we only have the screenshots and no video when CPFs are notorious for having concrete evidence. personally, it reminds me of the SDC3 incident but this one is still pretty outrageous considering it is a public event.
take what you want with this information. and as always, when it comes to BJYX: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
i was already seeing this making the rounds while GRA was on. i just couldn’t give my time to it cause i was nervous lol. and i’m not really the best person to evaluate this type of CPN cause my listening skills don’t work on it 😂😂😂
this one i can kinda hear what people are talking about cause it’s so similar. remember xz’s album intro is supposed to mimic the noise of the city — it should be natural. it makes sense for them to get real recordings. it’s up to you if you believe it or not but this is v interesting.
the next one is more elaborate and will feel like a hearing test. basically OP is pointing out 3 different sections where she can hear the following:
I intercepted three sections of enhanced sound
1- Shouting "Bo Jun Yi Xiao is real"
2- Shouting "Wang 1 Bao" I love you!"
3- Suspected (guessing) brother's live cheering "Oh~~".
In addition, there are racing engine sounds and tire changing sounds, I won't go into details.
xz is someone who like to hide things in plain sight that’s why this type of cpn usually comes up. and considering past sweets we got from him, who knows! it’s all fake anyway 🤷🏻♀️
