In recent fan photos from filming, it’s not just Lyn’s well-fitting black T-shirt (showing off the results of all his hard work at the gym) that catches attention, but also the beads he’s seen holding lately.

And thanks to my ‘partner in crime’, u/DoubleCareless, who mentioned them in our chat, the investigation could begin.

There were clues literally everywhere, so it wasn’t too hard to find some information.

Here’s what I managed to find out about the beads.

▫️Made by: 宏出品 Made in Macro
▫️From their post on XHS (2026-10-11):

>独属的全套私人订制:暴徒绅士·摩羯超大红宝石特切设计师款...橄榄核核尖无象金盾 7.3mm...千面千目小恶魔背云...种子弟子珠雙色

>Exclusive, fully custom-made design: Gentleman Gangster · Capricorn · oversized, specially cut ruby · designer piece… olive-pit carving, pointed end, “No Elephant” gold shield, 7.3 mm… Thousand Faces, Thousand Eyes little devil bei-yun bead… seed bead and two-tone disciple bead.
^(Translated by ChatGPT from the original Chinese post.)

▫️

Does this design look familiar to you? You're right! We've already seen a similar design on his golden mic. Because both the beads and the microphone were made by 宏出品 Made in Macro. And both of them combine precision with a perfect, thoughtful design.

▫️

Well, speaking of beads, I wonder - do you have any at home, too?

▫️

Yours, HJ!

The official lineup for the Honor of Kings 2026 Co-Creation Night 《王者荣耀2026周年庆》 has been announced, and Liu Yuning is among the performers. Which isn't a surprise at all.

We know he already has a history with Honor of Kings, and last year he blew our minds with his performance of《烟火星辰》 alongside a symphony orchestra. Not to mention that outfit. Who still remembers it?

^(What is Honor of Kings Co-Creation Night?)

^(Honor of Kings Co-Creation Night is the official anniversary celebration gala for) *^(Honor of Kings (an online game))*^(. The event is typically held in late October each year and features a variety of activities, including a gala, a carnival, new IP content releases, celebrity performances, and esports tournaments.)

Before we know it, autumn has arrived, and the mountains and rivers have already turned to fall. October is here. Together with Liu Yuning, let’s quietly await better times ahead.

New Month. New Schedule. Something that never changes regardless of the Season. 

After a couple of almost empty months, there’s much more action in this one. 

• October 13 – 14 - 综艺录制 / Variety Show Recording
• October 25 - 盛大直播 / Grand Ceremony Livestream
• October 27 - 综艺录制 / Variety Show Recording
• October 29 - 综艺录制 / Variety Show Recording
• October 30 - 商务拍摄 / Commercial Shoot

Besides the new season of Crush of Music, nothing has been officially announced yet. But if you want to know what people are whispering about, check out our chit-chat Thursday here. 

Anyway, it seems that we can really look forward to this month.

>音符是光的频率，在每一个平凡的时刻，发出不平凡的光芒，照亮那份心中的滚烫。
Musical notes are the frequencies of light. In every ordinary moment, they shine with an extraordinary glow, illuminating the passion burning within the heart.

▫️

The styling of his look isn’t exactly anything new. A formal outfit, white shirt, black tie, leather gloves… We’ve seen similar ones before. Familiar elements, familiar Lyn. And yet, somehow, this one hits differently. Again. Because apparently, he never gets tired of finding new ways to amaze us.

But let’s focus on the photoshoot as a whole. (Because praising him and his look is something we do all the time. Although, in this case, it is fitting, too.)

Do you remember how Lyn sometimes playfully scolds people in his livestreams who don’t want to study?
He always highlights the importance of education. And that’s exactly what this photoshoot makes me think of - education. A student room filled with books. Education that prepares a person for the future.

▫️

But now, my fangirling soul really must say something here about his look, okay? ☺️

It is truly meaningful to highlight the importance of education. But let’s be honest, how is anyone supposed to concentrate on studying when you look like this during a photoshoot?

Like the title already suggests, Liu Yuning will take part in the Closing Ceremony of this major international vocational skills competition.

🗓️When? September 27
🌏Where? Shanghai World Expo Cultural Center

🔃We don’t know any other details about the Closing Ceremony yet, but of course, when more specific information is released, we will share it too.

▫️

What exactly is the WorldSkills Competition?

The WorldSkills Competition (WSC) is the world's most prestigious, largest, and most influential vocational skills competition. It takes place from September 22 to September 27 (including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies). It is held every two years. ^(source)

This season was themed 'Skills Change the World, Skills Illuminate the Future' and attracted 1,385 participants from 68 countries and regions. The competition included 64 skill competitions, covering six major fields: manufacturing, transportation, construction, information, creativity, and services.^(source)

^(▫️)

Just the fact that the Opening Ceremony alone looked very impressive (you can watch the short compilation video here), I wonder what the Closing Ceremony will look like.

▫️

I really like these cards because of their soft, pastel colors and elegant design. And yes, of course, because of him in the center. :-)

What is the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节, Zhōngqiū Jié)?

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, occurs on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. This year, it is celebrated on September 25 - around the time of the full moon, which symbolizes wholeness and family reunion.

The festival is one of the most important traditional holidays and celebrations in Chinese culture and has historical ties to harvest celebrations.

Lanterns, mooncakes, and Chang’e and Houyi

🏮 Lanterns (in all sizes and shapes) symbolize beacons that light the path toward prosperity and good fortune.

🥮 Mooncakes (月饼, yuèbǐng) are rich, round (a shape resembling the moon, about the size of a hockey puck) pastries, usually sweet but sometimes savory, typically filled with lotus seed paste and one or two salted egg yolks. Mooncakes are served after a family dinner - cut into wedges and shared among the family.

^(Source:) ^(Wikipedia – Mid-Autumn Festival)

🐇 Most Chinese holidays come with a story. And this one is a famous one, with dozens of versions. Here is one of them.

^(Long ago, ten suns rose into the sky at once. Crops withered, rivers dried up, and people died in the heat. A gifted archer named Houyi, 后羿 , climbed a mountain and shot down nine of them, leaving a single sun to light the world.)

^(The Queen Mother of the West, 西王母 , rewarded him with an elixir of immortality. Whoever drank it would rise to the heavens as a god. But he chose not to drink it because of his wife,) ^(Chang’e. He kept the potion and hid it.)

^(One of Houyi’s apprentices, a man named Pengmeng, 逢蒙 , found out about the elixir. On the 15th day of the eighth month, while Houyi was away, Pengmeng broke into the house and found only Chang’e. Afraid that he would take the elixir for himself, she drank it. She became weightless and kept rising into the sky until she reached the moon.)

^(That night, the moon was the brightest and roundest. When Houyi found out what had happened, he looked up at the moon and was sure he could see her silhouette there. He set out her favorite fruits and cakes in the garden as an offering. His neighbors heard what had happened and did the same. According to the story, that's how the custom of making offerings to the moon began.)

^(Source: StudyCLI – Mid-Autumn Festival)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Families spend time together and have a big family dinner, exchange wishes and blessings and admire the moon, which has its own verb: 赏月 (shǎngyuè) - 'admire/enjoy/watch the moon'.

Do you know this holiday? What would you like to wish our Star?

September 12, 2026 – What a lovely day with one lovely man! And a couple of lovely songs. Sure, the main song of his livestream was mostly ‘Her’ 《她》 (and it’s no wonder, because it’s still pretty trendy).

But he sang 《惟愿》 'Only Wish' from the drama The Story of Pearl Girl too.

And for one simple reason: he had promised to sing it, because he didn’t include it in his concert setlist and said he would sing it later on.

After some practicing and finding the right pitch before the actual singing, he showed us that he just knows how to keep his promises.
▫️
I love this song 💛and also how he goes from one serious expression to something much less serious in the blink of an eye. :-)

^(Video uploaded to Weibo by: user Minoz_天津冰灵 /) ^(link)

Today, September 3, 2026, is another special day. And the reason is very simple.

This day – 8 years ago – Lyn made his debut as a solo singer with his song 《想象》 (Imagination) on the music stage of the program 《中国音乐公告牌》 (China Music Billboard).

^(This music reality show had 12 episodes and combined elements of a reality show and live performances. In collaboration with Billboard China, it also created a new pop music chart called “China Music Billboard.” Its goal was to provide musicians a space to promote their new work.)

^(The show began airing on September 7, 2018, every Friday on iQIYI, and the final episode aired on November 23, 2018.) 
^(Source)

And exactly on September 3, 2018, the recording of Episode 2 of this show, featuring his breathtaking debut, took place.

The mist, him standing alone in the middle, his head lowered and eyes closed, and the crowd cheering his name: Liu Yuning! Liu Yuning!

The One who started his journey on the street with just a few curious eyes watching his livestreams. And the One who knelt down after his own performance and then gave his audience a deep bow.

▫️

There are plenty of commemorative videos of this event on Weibo today that I came across. So it was hard to decide which video I should share here. At the end, I chose the one that was actually something like an introduction shown before his performance.

Another commercial for JD Supermarket’s anniversary, someone might say. Well, yes. But Idk, this ad hits different this time.

It’s longer, colourful, visually rich, and Lyn was able to use his sense of humor here.

It’s like a tour of Willy Wonka's factory. And he’s just running around with his high level of energy and having fun. 🎡

A train, flying race cars made of peanuts, a jet ski ride, a rock concert, and a meeting with the moon.

Let’s say this ad plays the right chord and showcases many of Lyn's talents. 🎵

As summer comes to an end, September arrives as promised. In the early autumn days, let’s head toward new hopes and expectations together with Liu Yuning.

As simply as that. A new month has come. Two variety shows, as well as this summer, have slowly come to an end. But we can already look forward to two online events at the end of September.

• September 20 – 晚会直播 / Live Broadcast of the Gala
• September 27 – 盛典直播 / Live Broadcast of the Grand Ceremony

Sadly, we have reached the end of another variety show. This time – Wow the World, Season 2. Together with the Earth Team, we traveled from New Zealand to France and finally back to China, to Chengdu – all through our screens.

We witnessed so much fun, dancing, cooking, singing, many adventures, situations where adrenaline skyrocketed, but also romantic walks through a sea of lavender and a little ‘conquest’ of the real sea.

And speaking of reaching the end...

Today, Liu Yuning shared his 'wrap-up' message on his Weibo.
He wrote about so many firsts, pushing himself out of his comfort zone, being a dance teacher or a runway model. And he didn’t forget to write a few words about his colleagues and also thank the production team.

Again, given the length of this message, only the English translation (translated with the help of AI) is included in this post. The screenshots of his original post are in the gallery.

English translation

>Season 2. Wrapped.

>This season unlocked so many firsts. From New Zealand to France and then Chengdu. It was truly, truly, truly, truly, truly, truly fresh.

>The first time seeing Bird Island. “Spectacular” is the only word to describe it. When you’re amazed by the breathtaking panoramic view, you also can’t help but be touched by the lively little birds themselves.

>The first time feeding a lamb. While feeding it, I couldn’t help thinking of my Daimi. She’s only a tiny bit more mischievous than Dai.

>The first time seeing a giant panda. There are no more words needed. The national treasure is the national treasure. Unbeatable cuteness.

>The first time completely pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I challenged myself to high-altitude bungee jumping and riding a jet ski on the sea. If I were given another chance, I. Abso. Lutely. Would. Not. Do. It. Again.

>The first time being a dance teacher. Stretching, sweeping the floor, washing your hair, cleaning windows. Every one of you with zero dance experience can become your own Dancing King or Dancing Queen.

>The first time trying the runway. The first time walking backwards. I turned the runway into a story about myself and about growing up.

>All these firsts were experienced together with the Earth Team family.

>Brother Lei. We went from the show to the drama set. With you around, I feel at ease wherever we are.

>Brother Naiwen. You want to be first in everything, and you can be first in everything. Except cooking. Next season, our smashed cucumbers have to take first place too.

>Brother Fei. The newcomer to the Earth Team, yet it felt like we had known each other forever. So many times, one look or one gesture was enough for us to understand each other instantly.

>Gong Jun. Your smile, your sincerity, your determination, your wholehearted dedication — all of these created some of the most relatable moments.

>Xingxu. You’re becoming more and more relaxed, with more and more wonderfully crazy ideas. Cute and full of life, you’ve gradually stepped out of your own little world and into everyone else’s. I’m happy for you.

>Yuwen. The brave get to enjoy the world first. Your brain and your internet speed are both so much faster than ours. Impressive, impressive.

>Lin Yi. The master of abstraction. To understand you, we need a special user manual. Being around you makes it easy to develop more wrinkles.

>And also Zhou Ye, Xixi, Chao Yue, Deng Kai, brother He, and all our old and new friends. You all created happiness and found happiness along this journey.

>Thank you to the production team. They say you’re incredibly generous, and you really are.

>You prepared a space that was both incredibly accepting and allowed everyone to make the most of their own strengths. Everyone’s unique qualities were genuinely captured.

>And you prepared the richest possible feast of content for the audience. Everyone has their own preferences, just like everyone has their own favorite dishes. There was something in this feast to excite everyone’s taste buds.

>That is our understanding of what it means to be “generous.”

>#EarthSuperFresh# The world is right before our eyes.

>More fresh scenery. More of the joy hidden among everyday life.

>We, together with all of you behind the screens, shoulder to shoulder, are watching it all together.

And I almost forgot. His post also included photos from his travels. Some are more detailed, others are panoramic, but each one has its own charm. And it's absolutely wonderful that he shared these photos with us, because it allows us to see the world through his eyes, at least for a moment.

🌻 This Week in the World of Liu Yu Ning

^(A note to start with: IM wrote today’s weekly recap for you while she was traveling in China, and I’m just finishing it up and sharing it. And now I’ll let IM tell you all about what happened this week. 😊)

Missed last week's recap? Read it here.

In the world of LYN, this week's recap is written whilst I'm sky high on a flight to SHANGHAI, eeeeek. But enough about me, let's get into it, shall we?

Soooooo, this week's categories are music, WTW2, 817 (still, but we all love it), LYN, one commercial and community.

🎵Musiiiiiiiic:

So, this week in music we have the new OST song for 'The Early Spring' then we have the photos, clips from the Huang Zitao gig that LYN performed as a guest in, do I envy the existence of everyone who attended this amazing event, yes I do 😂. But here we go;

• New OST 《她》 (tā / Her) ▫️ Luan Nian Character Song / Opening Theme for the Drama The Early Spring 《早春晴朗》from what the amazing HJ wrote about this new upcoming drama, I am adding it to my to be watched immediately, what do you think?

Now for HJ's trifecta of posts about the Huang Zitao gig that LYN guested on; and like I said earlier I envy all whom attended this in person 😂.

• We have the post about the concert photoshoot that HJ posted here, and like we all know I am a sucker for men in dark colours (especially LYN) so I am happy with these photos, do you like them?
• Next we have HJ's post featuring some of the fan photos from the same concert (here), and mentioning Laoda being betrayed by a mixture of clothing physics and wind that ended up with belly on show....again. I'm still not convinced he didn't engineer it to break Mofans brains, but anywhoooo, what's your favourite photo, and why?
• And third, here’s the video captured by a fan named Chloe, showing their emotional duet on the stage. (here)

🌸Continuation of PCD aka 817 recap continued

Of course this category continues, so this week we have the long awaited behind the scenes of the making of that amazing 817 concert.

✈️WTW2 (continued hilarity)

Soooooo, here we have the continuation of TipOpp/HJs WTW2 series of posts, which I love that this mini series exists, but let's goooooo;

• Dandong dancing king again
• Fields of lavender or blue ocean (and one lovely, unexpected encounter)
• Meeting the Pandas
• More photos from Antibes or there’s never enough of those profile shots.
• Meeting at the lavender field

😊Fun

• Ateosira's GIF Exchange Program is BAAAAAAAAACK, and I love it, it is amazing, hilarious and just good. If you ever need or want GIFs from LYN dramas, they are one of the best people to go to. And ADWAD is amazing. I'll never say or believe otherwise XD
• How would you rate Lyn’s food, including the way it was served, if you could? That’s what Emutz10 asked in her post.

📹And here we go again with another ad

• And at the last minute, HJ shared with us a JD.com ad created for their anniversary celebration. A chase through the streets, camping, or a fateful encounter in picturesque flower-filled alleys. You’ll find all of that in the ad. And even JOY himself (JD.com’s mascot) realized that sometimes it pays to have someone tall by your side.

🗨️Non-Liu Yu Ning • ANYTHING talk

• As mentioned at the beginning, IM is currently on her dream trip around China and is happy to share her experiences with us. So here you can see what her first day looked like.

▫️

As always we also had our weekly Thursday Chit-Chat thread, this is just a weekly chat for any questions, comments, ideas, anything LYN related, you can find this here. Which is starting to fill up with photos from the filming of The Evidence thanks to GiTheGremlin (our a visual content supplier). There can never be enough of those either. Especially close-ups. Well, see for yourself.

▫️

Anywhoo... That's a wrap for this week!

Think of this post as your weekly (slightly rambling, caffeine fuelled) catch-up.

If you've been away for a few days, hopefully everything important from the past week is waiting for you somewhere above - whether that's Yu Ning news, community highlights, or something fun you might have otherwise missed.

A huge thank you to everyone who posted, commented, translated, shared photos, reported news, or simply stopped by this week. 💛

Every contribution — big or small — helps make this community what it is.

See you!

~IM~ 💛🌻and HJ 🌻

^(Some) ^(shameless promo) ^(for our sister subs — because apparently Yu Ning isn't supposed to consume) ^(all) ^(of your free time...Hope to see you in these as well, as I'm certain many of you watch more than just LYN dramas, right? 😁😅😍)

Let’s take a slight detour from the previous posts.

JD.com 京东 released new ads featuring Liu Yuning to announce its JD.com Anniversary celebration starting August 27, 2026, filled with many products, discounts, and more.

He has such a boyish look in jeans, a denim shirt and then a white T-shirt too. 💛 

There are also short behind-the-scenes reels (you can find them in the comments section). And particularly in one of them, I like the cheeky look he gave us before he ate those chips. 🙂

We’ve already got used to getting some photos after each of Lyn’s performances. Something like the cherry on top.

And this time, we are also lucky, thanks to Tao, who included Lyn in his photoshoot and gave us these two photos.

Darker tones, smoke, black glasses… totally badass vibes, although their joint performance was rather emotional.

But it doesn’t matter. What matters most is their friendship, which is evident in their stage presence and Tao’s post.

>最后一场收官 这三场 有家人有朋友 有大家的陪伴 包括这场还有我多年的好兄弟@摩登兄弟刘宇宁 很开心很圆满 谢谢每一位来到现场的你们！然后现在我要先休息恢复一下了哈哈哈

>This was the final show. Across these three shows, I had family, friends, and everyone’s support. And at this one, I also had my longtime good friend and brother, Liu Yuning, by my side. I’m very happy and feel very fulfilled. Thank you to everyone who came to the show! And now I need to get some rest and recover for a bit, haha.

Yours, HJ!
