As the super typhoon sweeps across China, social media has been flooded with tips on how to minimize property damage. In the midst of this, no one expected Nicholas Tse’s face to appear everywhere. His photos have been printed out and pasted on windows by residents, treated as a kind of “protective charm” to ward off Ragasa.
This humorous method of typhoon-proofing quickly went viral on Weibo. But the reason behind it isn’t random—Tse’s Chinese name, “Xie Ting Feng,” sounds similar to the phrase “Please stop the wind” in Mandarin. Because of this coincidence, many netizens have jokingly “summoned” the superstar to shield them from Ragasa. Whether or not this DIY trick actually stops the storm, homeowners say it gives them peace of mind, while internet users can’t stop laughing. Even Nicholas Tse himself likely never imagined his image being used in such an amusing way.
Born in 1980, Nicholas Tse entered showbiz at 16 and is one of the rare stars who achieved success in music, film, and business. Considered one of Hong Kong’s classic heartthrobs, he is admired for his sharp masculine features and carefree charm. His boyish smile captivated not only the public but also celebrities such as Yang Mi, Cecilia Cheung, and diva Faye Wong.
In his personal life, Tse married Cecilia Cheung in 2006, and they had two sons, Lucas and Quintus. However, the marriage ended in 2012 after much turbulence and scandal. Shortly after, Tse rekindled his romance with Faye Wong, and the two have remained together ever since. Neither has shown interest in marriage, openly stating that they prefer not to be bound by paperwork or traditional family responsibilities after past heartbreak.
