In a moment that quickly went viral on Chinese social media, pop singer Wang Sulong politely turned down a light‑hearted proposal from fellow celebrity Wang Yuan. The exchange, captured on camera during the making of Wang Yuan’s documentary for his recent single “别回家了” (“Don’t Go Home”), shows the two friends in a relaxed studio setting. As Wang Yuan jokingly suggests that Sulong record a version of the song in a heavy Northeastern dialect—a tongue‑in‑cheek nod to the region’s distinctive slang—Sulong smiles and simply declines, the scene later christened online as “汪苏泷婉拒了王源提议” (“Wang Sulong politely declined Wang Yuan’s suggestion”).

On August 4, actor XIA Zhi‑guang (夏之光) shared a promotional clip for a new drama starring his former co‑star Huang Jun‑jie (黄俊捷).
