In the title, I said the word 'Gengfan'. What is a Gengfan? Who are the Gengfans? In case you do not know the answers to these questions, I suggest you continue reading this blog post.
A Gengfan (庚饭) is the official name of the fans of Han Geng/Han Geng's fans. The name was created by a bunch of Chinese Gengfans, and the word "Gengfan" literally means "Geng Rice". The name is a play on words which contains various meanings. One of them is the fact that the word for rice in Chinese sounds like the English word "fan". The other meaning is that because Han Geng is known to love eating, they call themselves his "rice" so they can be his main source of energy. The third meaning is that the word Gengfan when abbreviated, becomes GF, which is also the abbreviation of the word "girlfriend" in English. There are also many sub-classifications of Gengfans such as Sister Fans (Gengfans who are older than him), Geng Knights (male Gengfans), Mother Fans (Gengfans who are mothers), etc. Gengfans generally use the colors yellow and black to represent themselves. They are known for their strong and unconditional support as well as for their massive numbers. They're also known to be very active in charities ever since Han Geng asked them to not give him gifts but use the money to help those in need instead...
Isn't our beautiful star so sweet? Being so humble and charitable; telling his fans not to buy him gifts, but use the money to help those in need...
I already told you who and what the Gengfans are, but why did I include "How Awesome they are"? Let us find out!
The reason for the Gengfans being awesome, is that, one of them, well, actually, a bunch of the Chinese Gengfans, on Han Geng's birthday, recorded him a song called "Wings of Love" as a birthday gift for him. The lyrics, arrangement, movement, and stuff like that, were all done by his fans as an encouragement for him to continue pursuing his dreams.
The lyrics, in my opinion, are extremely touching (as I just read the translations, for I am not Chinese), and thus became an anthem for all the Gengfans all around the world, thus, they call themselves "Han Geng's wings of love".
Of course, Han Geng was really grateful, so he made his own version, slightly changing the lyrics so he could sing it back to his fans, as a little gift to us Gengfans.
Wings of Love (爱的翅膀) is included in his first, and only solo album (so far!!!).
Okay, I guess that's enough info for you guys. Hope you'll become a Gengfan! See ya!
