Taiwan's top model Lin Chi-ling attended the 10th anniversary celebration of Shanghai Disneyland on the 15th, wearing a pale lavender puffy dress adorned with a large bow and a cute ShellieMay bear on her chest, exuding a fairytale princess aura. This was her first appearance in China after stepping down from the Taiwan Cultural Content Institute (文策院) board in the wake of controversy; she said in an interview that she participated in the opening of Shanghai Disneyland 10 years ago. This time, upon entering the resort hotel, the staff greeted her warmly, saying 'Welcome back, Princess!' She was very touched, saying, 'This feeling of coming home is really wonderful.'
Last month, Lin Chi-ling had initially agreed to become a board member at the Cultural Content Institute, but was met with controversy and accusations of 'pro-China' stance. After several days of entanglement, she announced that, to avoid further unfounded speculation and misunderstanding, she decided not to take the board position. However, China's entertainment industry still took 'preventive measures,' including removing her from the cast of the drama 'Yulan Flowers Bloom Again,' and her episodes as a guest on the show 'Mao Xue Wang' were pulled and replaced with other celebrities.
More than half a month later, Lin Chi-ling made a grand appearance in Shanghai on the 15th, seemingly indicating that the 'blacklist alert' has been lifted. Netizens praised her, saying, 'The person most suited to appear at Disneyland in the whole world,' and 'Disney really has a real princess now.'
Lin Chi-ling also recounted her connection to Shanghai Disneyland in detail on Weibo, promising to visit often: 'Holding this whimsical bouquet and returning here, my heart feels so warm. My bond with this place has lasted 10 years. I still remember that video we recorded back then—it’s still remembered and imitated by everyone. Occasionally when I see your short clips, my heart feels soft and grateful. To be here as an old friend, having accompanied it for so long and watched it grow so well on our own land, filled with so much laughter of children and adults, is a very happy thing for me. What touches me especially is how it seamless blends fairytale romance with our own local warmth. Here, you can enter a carefree fairytale world, but also feel the fireworks and heartfelt atmosphere unique to us. I truly cherish these 10 years of companionship, and I will definitely come back often in the future. I wish everyone keeps a child who believes in fairytales in their heart, and may this paradise continue to thrive—hope to see you all often.'
