Hearing that Huang Xiaoming was holding a charity birthday party in Beijing, Ding Zhenzhu didn't say a word, "I'll go!."”
So he immediately flew from Chengdu to Beijing, and the night before he hadn't slept much because of work and travel, and was a little tired. But when he appeared at the charity gala, he was still in good spirits.
After listening to everyone's introduction to Huang Xiaoming's public welfare undertakings all night, he was very emotional. "When I couldn't walk, Brother Xiaoming was already doing public welfare. He said, with sincerity and shyness.
This sincere remark caused a burst of good-natured laughter from everyone in the audience, and Brother Xiaoming couldn't help laughing. 46-year-old Huang Xiaoming, who has been in the performing arts career for 25 years, has also gone through 20 years of public welfare, and is an out-and-out predecessor in both acting and public welfareAnd for the fledgling Ding Zhen, everything has just begun.
In Ding Zhen's eyes, Huang Xiaoming is "like a brother". Their friendship originated three years ago in "Chinese Restaurant," a partnership experience variety show. In the show, Huang Xiaoming is the store manager, and Ding Zhen is the fledgling variety show "Xiaobai". Sometimes you need to learn and sell now, make a few special dishes, and sometimes you have to go to the streets, shyly solicit customers for the restaurant, and follow the manager Xiaoming to be busy.
After the show ended, Ding Zhen donated more than 30,000 yuan in labor fees to his hometown, Litang County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. To his surprise, under Huang Xiaoming's proposal, all the income from the restaurant's operation was also donated to Litang. In this show, Huang Xiaoming has always taken good care of Ding Zhen, and at the end of the show, he also demonstrated him an example of public welfare, which made Ding Zhen always grateful. "I hope I can be like him in the future. Ding Zhen said to "Chinese Philanthropist".
For the hometown that I miss from my heart
Litang, his hometown, has always been a place that Ding Zhenzhen misses. He was born there in a herdsman family, in November 2020, that is, when Ding Zhen was 19 years old, one of his ** unexpectedly became popular on the Internet, and people have since remembered this innocent "sweet wild boy", and also noticed Litang, a remote and beautiful place, because of him. It was only natural for him to become a tourism ambassador for his hometown.
Doing more for his hometown has become Ding Zhen's most primitive instinct and original intention to do public welfare. He spared no effort to promote his hometown, hoping that more people would come to his hometown to travel and invest, so that his hometown would become richer, so that the people there could live a better life, and the children there could get a better education.
Because of his poor family since he was a child and the long way to go to school, Ding Zhen did not study for a few days, and lived a life of "horseback riding, grazing, and digging cordyceps" early, and became a "cow farm doll" who could not speak Chinese. In the past few years, he has worked extremely hard to learn Mandarin and make up for all kinds of homework. When his fans found out, they sent him all kinds of books from all over the country, and in less than a month, tens of thousands of books filled half of the room. "I've read a lot of these books, but there are so many of them that I feel like I'll never finish them in my life. Ding Zhen told "Chinese Philanthropist" that he donated the books to schools and libraries in his hometown so that more people could read them. Today, 5 new public welfare community study rooms have been completed in Litang County, and 5 Ding Zhenzhu Fulong Wisdom Multi-class classrooms have also been built to provide children with reading and learning space.
Litang County has built 5 Dingzhen Pearl Fulong Wisdom Classrooms to provide children with reading and learning space.
In Tibetan areas with a relatively fragile ecological environment, Ding Zhen also began to pay attention to environmental protection topics, and served as an ambassador for ecological and environmental protection in Sichuan Province, participating in various environmental protection public welfare activities.
When talking about this topic with "Chinese Philanthropist", Ding Zhen was obviously moved by his true feelings. "I hope to do my best to help as many lives as possible, whether it is people, animals, plants, anyone who can be helped. Ding Zhen said, "We Tibetans feel that all the lives in this world are our mothers, and in the previous life, in the next life, all these are your parents." ”
Speaking of these, Ding Zhen seemed to be a little homesick.
True heroes
In October this year, Ding Zhen went to **Nyingchi and experienced outdoor rock climbing. **, Ding Zhen jumped up, waved his fist to the camera to do warm-up exercises, and chanted the words "We are not afraid" in his mouth, constantly cheering himself up.
When describing the experience of rock climbing to "Chinese Philanthropist", Ding Zhen was very excited, raised his hand to his chest, held the rope in the form of a gesture, and demonstrated the movements of rock climbing. "When you climb up, your body can support a lot of places, you can grasp it with your hands, and you can step on it. But when you come down, you get a little nervous because you have to come backwards and you can't see anything behind. He said with gusto, like a child trying to play a new game.
Another new attempt is to make films. In September this year, Ding Zhen participated in the movie "Love That Never Loses Contact", in which he played a boy who can ride a horse. The reporter jokingly asked him if he was in love in the play, and Ding Zhen quickly explained loudly: "No!."I'm a light bulb in the play!”
Ding Zhen seems to enjoy the process of playing the light bulb, although sometimes the lines are not so smooth. On and off the set, as long as he has time, he will take the script to memorize his lines, and he is very serious.
Ding Zhen is not sure if he will always act in movies, for him who is young, everything is possible, so he will not make too long-term plans for the future. His acting idols are Jackie Chan and Wu Jing, and he also hopes that he can try to make some kung fu movies in the future.
Kung fu star is really suitable for Ding Zhen's character. He rode a horse with a chic appearance, quite the style of a legendary hero. More importantly, everyone can see a certain heroic complex in Ding Zhen's public welfare projects, as well as his chivalrous courage to help people everywhere.
A few years ago, Huang Xiaoming launched the "Siyuan Project Huang Xiaoming True Heroes" public welfare project, which aims to reward "true heroes" who uphold social fairness and justice and help others, including anti-epidemic medical workers, firefighters, police officers and volunteers. At Huang Xiaoming's birthday charity party, 6 "true heroes" came to the scene. Ding Zhen brought a special gift from his hometown, Hada, and put them on one by one. "Hada is a gift to a very distinguished guest in our hometown, a symbol of blessing, respect and gratitude. He said.
Then, Huang Xiaoming presented Ding Zhen with a certificate and officially appointed him as the love ambassador of the "True Hero" public welfare project.
There was a round of applause from the audience, blessing this Tibetan teenager.
Dialogue with Ding Zhen
I hope to help more lives
Chinese Philanthropist: How do you feel about participating in today's charity gala?
Ding Zhen:I'm very happy with Brother Xiaoming, he has done a lot of good things, and I hope I can be like him in the future.
Chinese Philanthropist: You have done a lot of public welfare yourself, what is there in this process that you find particularly memorable?
Ding Zhen:The most important thing for me is to help my hometown, to promote my hometown, and to hope that the people in my hometown will live better and better. One of the things that impressed me the most was that after Brother Xiaoming and I participated in the variety show, our restaurant made a little money, and then they gave me all the money to my hometown. It's a memorable event.
Chinese Philanthropist: What do you want to do in terms of philanthropy?
Ding Zhen:"I hope to do my best to help as many lives as possible, whether it is people, animals, plants, anyone who can be helped. We Tibetans say that all life in this world is your own mother, and in the previous life and the next life, all of them are your parents.
Chinese Philanthropist: Do you miss your childhood?
Ding Zhen:I will miss playing with my family and my friends when I was a child.
"Chinese Philanthropist": Maybe there are many children in the city who will envy your childhood, carefree.
Ding Zhen:But when we grow up, we envy the children in the city, because they can read and get an education from an early age. We didn't study when we were kids, and when we grew up, we had to start learning again.
"Chinese Philanthropist": You definitely spend less time at home than before, do you feel homesick?
Ding Zhen:Yes. Hey.
"Chinese Philanthropist": Have you ever thought about giving yourself a vacation home?
Ding Zhen:Sometimes I want to go home when I encounter difficult things, but I feel that I can help so many people, so I still have to suffer a little by myself, and there is nothing.

"Chinese Philanthropist": It is sometimes very difficult to do public welfare, especially celebrities doing public welfare, everyone may be picky and doubt your purpose. What do you think about this?
Ding Zhen:There are a lot of people who like you, but there are also a lot of people who don't like you, I don't think it's necessary to live in the eyes of others, it's better to live in your own eyes. You can say what others want, and just stick to what you want to do.
"Chinese Philanthropist": What others say, it doesn't affect you anymore, does it?
Ding Zhen:Whatever you do, some people will say it, for example, if you want to shoot a simple Douyin today, some people will say that this is not okay and that is not good, and there will be people who don't like it. But I don't think it's necessary to see whether they like it or not, the most important thing is whether they are satisfied or not, and if they are satisfied, it is fine.
Chinese Philanthropist: So are you satisfied with yourself?
Ding Zhen:I think I'm quite happy with myself, and after my debut, I've helped a lot of people and my hometown, so I think it's fun to live like this.
Chinese Philanthropist: Are there a lot of people who are helping you?
Ding Zhen:The people who encourage me, support me, like me, they are the ones who help me. And my parents.
Chinese Philanthropist: What have you been busy with lately?
Ding Zhen:Recently, I've been filming (laughing embarrassedly).
"Chinese Philanthropist": Will you be nervous about filming for the first time?Do you want to memorize your lines?
Ding Zhen:To be carried!I'm carrying it every day when I'm fine!
"Chinese Philanthropist": Will the director put pressure on you?
Ding Zhen:No, it's my first time filming, and the director is more tolerant.
"Chinese Philanthropist": I imagined that acting was too difficult, do you think it is difficult?
Ding Zhen:Fortunately, it's not that hard. Because I'm also filming **, shooting some commercials, I'm more used to it. Filming is a bit difficult, but it's not that difficult.
"Chinese Philanthropist": Do you like filming?
Ding Zhen:Like.
"Chinese Philanthropist": "Love That Never Loses Contact", the title of the movie sounds like a romance movie, do you still want to fall in love in it?

"Chinese Philanthropist": Do you have an idol?
Ding Zhen:Yes, Brother Wu Jing, and Brother Jackie Chan.
"Chinese Philanthropist": They are all kung fu stars, do you want to develop in this area in the past?
Ding Zhen:I'd better study it first and see if I'm suitable.
Chinese Philanthropist: What do you hope your future will look like?Have you ever wondered what you will be like in 10 years?
Ding Zhen:What will happen in 10 years is not yet certain, and I dare not say it myself.
In terms of public welfare, I hope that I can help more people and help more poor places. When I was a child, I was a herdsman, and I didn't have a fixed home, and the herders had to graze, move pastures, and move around. I suffered so much when I was a child, and now when I grow up, I want to help people who are even more suffering. If I had 100 dollars myself, I would give 99 dollars to someone else.
In terms of work, I think it's good to make a movie like I am now. Then plan year by year, and just do it one by one.
Chinese Philanthropist: One last question for fans who like you, what would you like to say to them?
Ding Zhen:Hopefully they're all happy and happy. I hope you will be good to your family, be good to yourself, and treat the people around you sincerely.
