中国演出行业协会：对张哲瀚进行从业抵制｜Celebrities must be conscious of history

The China Association of Performing Arts has called for a boycott of Chinese actor Zhang Zhehan after photos of him taken at Tokyo's notorious Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of Japan's past militarism, spread online, sparking outrage among netizens.

中国演出行业协会要求会员单位对中国演员张哲瀚进行从业抵制，此前张哲瀚在东京象征着日本军国主义的靖国神社拍摄的照片在网上流传，激起网民愤怒。

"Zhang's behavior was seriously inappropriate, and it not only hurt the nation's feelings, but also served as a bad influence on young fans," the association said in a notice issued Sunday.

该协会在周日发布的一份公告中称：“张哲瀚的行为存在严重不当，不仅伤害民族感情，而且对其受众中的青少年群体带来恶劣的不良影响。”

The Sina Weibo micro-blogging platform closed the actor's personal and studio accounts on Sunday.

新浪微博微博平台周日关闭了该演员的个人账号和工作室账号。

"As a public figure who has a large number of fans and draws a great deal of attention online, it is the most basic professional quality to have a correct view of history and values," it said in a notice.

“作为一个拥有大量粉丝并在网上引起广泛关注的公众人物，树立正确的历史观，是一项基本的职业素养，”公告中表示。

Photos emerged on social media on Tuesday showing Zhang attending a wedding ceremony in 2019 at the Nogi Shrine in Tokyo, where imperial Japanese army general Maresuke Nogi is honored. Netizens also found pictures of him posing in 2018 at the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Class-A Japanese war criminals who committed atrocities during World War II.

周二，社交媒体上出现了一些照片显示，张哲瀚参加了2019年在东京乃木神社举行的婚礼。网友们还发现了他在2018年在靖国神社摆姿势拍的照片。靖国神社供奉着二战期间犯下滔天战争罪行的甲级日本战犯。

The association said Yasukuni is a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism and also the place where Japanese right-wing forces "deny history and beautify the war of aggression".

该协会说，“靖国神社是日本军国主义发动对外侵略战争的精神工具和象征，是日本国内右翼势力否定历史、美化侵略战争的场所。”

"For artists engaged in cultural work, a correct view of history is a basic professional quality, and ignorance is not an excuse," it said.

“对从事文化工作的演艺人员而言，树立正确的历史观，是一项基本的职业素养，无知不是借口。”

The association said members were required to boycott Zhang according to relevant regulations. It called on performers to study more, improve their understanding and never waver on national dignity.

该协会表示，根据相关规定，会员单位必须对张哲瀚进行从业抵制。协会提醒广大演艺从业人员加强学习，提高认识，不要动摇民族尊严。

"History must not be forgotten, and the bottom line must not be loosened. Whoever crosses the line will be punished," it said.

“历史不容忘却，底线不容松动。过线者，必受惩戒。”公告中说到。

The China Culture Administration Association issued a statement on Friday that criticized Zhang for lacking respect for history and having a bad influence on the country's youth.

中国文化管理协会于上周五发文称，张哲瀚对历史缺乏敬畏，对全国青少年群体产生不良影响。

Chinese media also criticized Zhang over the weekend for his ignorance of history and national suffering.

上周末，中国媒体还批评张哲瀚对历史和民族苦难浑然不觉。

Zhang apologized on his Weibo account on Friday, saying he felt "ashamed for being ignorant" after the pictures triggered anger and criticism among netizens.

张哲瀚于上周五在微博上道歉，称在照片引发网民的愤怒和批评后，他“为曾经无知的自己而羞愧”。

Zhang, 30, gained popularity after starring in the hit TV drama Word of Honor, which was broadcast in February.

现年30岁的张哲瀚在主演了今年2月播出的热门电视剧《山河令》后，广受欢迎。

The criticism of Zhang led to more than two dozen brands terminating their cooperation with him.

张哲瀚被多家媒体批评后，二十多个品牌终止了与他的合作。

More than 25 companies have announced they have ended contracts with Zhang, including food brand Hsu Fu Chi, drink brand Wahaha, beverage maker Coca-Cola, Danish jewelry brand Pandora and the Chinese branch of Japanese food manufacturer Ezaki Glico.

超过25家公司宣布，他们已终止与张哲瀚的合作，包括食品品牌徐福记，饮料品牌娃哈哈，饮料制造商可口可乐，丹麦珠宝品牌潘多拉和日本食品制造商江崎格力高中国分公司等。
