Watch: Fans break glass door trying to see Netflix star

A viral incident of celebrity fan culture unfolded over the weekend at a popular shopping mall in China, where massive crowds of devotees triggered chaos in their eagerness to catch a sight of rising Netflix star Zhang Linghe. The actor, who currently stars in the hit historical drama *A Journey to Wait for Jade* (also known internationally as *Pursuit of Jade* streaming on Netflix), made a scheduled public appearance at the retail center that drew far more attendees than organizers had anticipated. As throngs of fans packed the public space outside the venue’s entrance, the overwhelming surge of the crowd put intense pressure on the facility’s glass entry door. Eyewitness videos shared widely across Chinese social media platforms show the door shattering under the strain, leaving onlookers stunned and security staff scrambling to regain control of the situation. No immediate reports of serious injuries have been confirmed following the incident, though local venue management released a brief statement acknowledging the property damage and confirming that the event was adjusted to ensure public safety. The incident has quickly sparked widespread conversation online about the growing intensity of celebrity fandom in China, as Zhang’s profile continues to rise globally following the international release of his latest drama on the major streaming platform.
