| Ding Yuxi Stuns Fans with Gold Gifts Worth Tens of Thousands of Yuan at Offline Event (Photo: Sohu) |
Chinese actor Ding Yuxi has officially broken the internet, and this time it’s not because of a drama role or a red-carpet look. During an offline event on 25 January, the actor pulled off a move so unexpected that many fans admitted they thought they had misheard at first. Instead of receiving gifts, Ding Yuxi became the one doing the giving – and not in a small way.
According to fans who attended the event, Ding Yuxi personally paid for four pieces of gold jewellery using his own money and gifted them directly to fans on the spot. Witnesses said he carefully selected each piece, swiped his card himself, removed the price tags, and even packaged the jewellery before handing it over.
One of the most talked-about items was a horse-shaped gold piece, rumoured to be worth over 20,000 yuan due to its heavy weight and detailed design.
The moment quickly spread across social media, sparking intense discussion among netizens.

Many people admitted they initially thought the story was exaggerated, simply because “reverse fan support” at this scale is still rare in the industry.
Usually, fans are the ones spending money on idols, not the other way around.
This unexpected role reversal earned Ding Yuxi a new nickname online, with netizens calling him the “god of reverse support”.
What impressed people even more than the price tag was the way he did it.

Videos and photos showed him personally choosing the designs, packing the gifts with care, and handing them directly to fans in the front rows.
Netizens praised the gesture as sincere rather than performative, saying it showed genuine gratitude instead of a publicity stunt.
Fans were quick to point out that this wasn’t a one-off moment.
Long-time supporters shared past stories, including instances where Ding Yuxi covered fans’ travel expenses during holiday livestreams and bought expensive gifts during brand endorsement periods.

For many, this latest gold jewellery moment simply confirmed what they already believed – that his generosity has been consistent over the years.
Reactions online varied, but the overall tone leaned heavily positive.
Supporters described the gesture as heartfelt, warm, and respectful, while others joked that “men look the best when they’re swiping their own cards”.
Some netizens even went as far as saying that Ding Yuxi’s fans would “love him for a lifetime” after this move.
A few voices used the moment to compare him with other celebrities, arguing that true fan culture should be a two-way connection rather than a one-sided relationship.
Beyond visuals and acting skills, many netizens agreed that Ding Yuxi’s personality plays a huge role in maintaining his strong and loyal fanbase.
So what do you think? Is this the gold standard of fan appreciation, or simply Ding Yuxi being Ding Yuxi? Would you call this genuine gratitude or next-level generosity?
