5月20日 17:21

Today 520 is a special day, it represents "I love you", I believe everybody knows that. But to those who have been supporting me all along, there is another meaning......those in the know would know. Love you all, 520s. P.S. Have good fortune, we'll share together; have soup, we'll drink together! Hahaha!
(clam chowder soup)

今天520是個很特別的日子，說代表「我愛你」相信大家都知道了，但對於一直支持我的人，其實另有一個意義......懂的就會懂，愛你們520s p.s.有福同享、有湯同飲hahaha

Bump up! opm-Grand Piggy Ma Family Day

Reminscing: How it all started 5 years ago!

Grand Piggy Ma Family Day
馬太豬家庭日
May 20th has a special meaning in mainland. 520 when spoken in Mandarin sounds like "wo ai ni" (tn: I love you), so every year May 20 becomes a day to express love.

520 is also the day I opened my weibo two years ago, (sic. 2010 April 3rd) so my fans and I have this arrangement that every year 520 will be the "Grand Piggy Ma Family Day"  (馬太豬家庭日).  On that day, I will interact with a group of little piggies on my weibo, be it idle chatting or sharing pictures, all done to thank them for their continual support to me.

Someone asks, why "Grand Piggy Ma" (馬太豬)?  Why am I "4th Brother"? They are called "Little Piggies"?  Very simple: My last name is Ma, zodiac is pig, and I'm the fourth in my family, and also likes to watch Pleasant Goat and Grey Wolf 喜羊羊與灰太狼).  This explanation, wonder if you all understand or not?

In a blink of an eye, Grand Piggy Ma house has now been established for two years already. I'm very thankful to each and every little piggy's support and encouragement for.all these years.  At the time when feeling tired or unhappy reading your messages is like a heart strengthening booster shot giving me energy to continue forging towards my ideals.

Little piggies, you all love me, and I too love you all, 520s!

***************************************************************
Today, May 20 2012, (520) has been designated by China netizens as a special cyber day of expressing "I love you" to people you love because 520 in Mandarin sounds like 'wo ai ni' (I love you) . For that reason, two years ago when Steven and piggies were discussing this matter, he thereby designated that day to be his and piggies' family day. To make 520 a memorable day on his weibo for his piggies, Steven usually interacted quite a bit with fans on weibo.

So, people if haven't yet then go mosey over to his weibo to wish him a Happy 520 piggy family day.

Happy 520! 2011 may weibo

Notice 2011 520: Grand Master Piggy Hovel's 1st Anniversary

A year ago, Steven decided on May 20th as the date of his Grand Master Piggy Hovel's grand opening, and designated the day as Piggy Family Day. On the eve of its 1st anniversary, he and his piggy fans are right now congregating on his weibo to welcome the 1st anniversary of his Grand Master Piggy Hovel.
Come join us! weibo.

Why Grand Piggy Ma? 

refer from AF post 383 post 941
Steven chose the below fan's piggy drawing among many others on baidu to upload onto his weibo.

sm baidu - question on the origin of Grand Piggy Ma
sm baidu - origin of SM weibo posts starting post# 287

Steven calls his weibo Grand Piggy Ma Abode.
"Grand Piggy Ma Abode - opens 24/7, no minimum fees because there is no charge. All are welcome! (tn: Steven has since removed the above blurb from his weibo.)

This came about because one day Steven was commenting on how his weibo is like a gathering place for his fans. He is happy to see that. He says maybe his weibo is like a: 1) bar 2) coffee house 3) a diner, 4) 4th brother's inn? But his fans were against his suggestion because all his suggested venues imply a transitory place where people come and go and do not stay long; to them Steven weibo is HOME. Some came up with "chat room". In the end settled on Grand Piggy Ma Abode because they insisted on calling his weibo "home 之家". Awww.....so sweet!

Why picked May 20 (520) as the designated piggy family day?

Because 5/20 is not only close to Steven's weibo opening day but also for Mainland netizens, 520 sounds like "Wo ai ni", so it is a propitious day to exchange words of affections between Steven and his little piggies.

The origin of Gand Piggy Ma

It all began with Steven posting his collection of his cartoon idol, Dingdong, (2010-4-18 19:30 - see comments pp 75-79) and asked his fans to guess what other cartoon figure items he has collected. Some guessed this apparently very popular China cartoon tv  Pleasant Goat and Big Bad Wolf (喜羊羊與灰太狼) but the answer of course is Bumblebee of The Transformers.  Steven said he actually quite like Wolf/Goat too. He then mischieviously altered the cartoon name from (喜羊羊與灰太狼) to (灰羊羊與喜太狼) . Playing along, a fan asked Steven whether he is Big Bad Wolf Xi (Xi Tai Lang 喜太狼) or Grey Goat (灰羊羊), he said he was Grand Piggy Ma 马太猪, and so that name stuck and accordingly his fans became Little Piggies. see sm baidu link post# 287

馬浚偉：我是馬太豬 2010-4-18 20:15



2010-4-18 19:30 The original post that started it all. (comments on pp 75-79)
2010-4-18 20:05 馬浚偉：說真的,我也挺喜欢喜羊羊和灰太狼! 香港也看到,挺好笑的!
2010-4-18 20:08 馬浚偉：灰太羊和喜狼狼!
2010-4-18 20:12 zita霖霖：四哥，你是灰羊羊还是喜狼狼？
2010-4-18 20:15 馬浚偉：我是馬太豬

**********************************************************
sm baidu 4/23/2010 p8 post#330-336 The next wolf/goat weibo post few days later.

And of course many weiboans immediately set out to point out the incorrect wolf/goat title: his (灰羊羊與喜太狼) vs  (喜羊羊與灰太狼) .  Steven says he knew, he did that on purpose, reminding them of his wolf/goat previous comment posted a days ago.

p 169 2010-4-23 13:36 馬浚偉：沒有啦，是上次我們討論時我故意把牠們對調的！忘了嗎？：D

His comment generated a lively discussion on his weibo before long someone suggested to Steven to write a cartoon tv story.

And Steven, ever obliging, came up with a brief story about this: Mushroom Head Horse encounters Grey Goat and they got talking. Suddenly Big Bad Wolf Xi appears. Terrified of being eaten, Horse and Goat quickly transformed into Pandas. Wolf laughs and says: Are you pretending to be roasted pigs? haha! Don't worry, I only eat bamboo shoots. Horse's and Goat's jaws dropped. hahah! Am I being silly, (mo liu.) 

*Pig = Steven's zodiac.

**Panda = jibe on himself looking like a panda because of the dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep. So he jestingly calls panda his 3rd brother.

***mushroom = play on a previous post whereby he mis-wrote "mushroom" for another word, and of course fans raced each other for the 'honor' to be the first to point out this mistake to their 4th Brother. 

Swept by Steven's silliness, his fans uploaded their own cartoon drawings of Grand Piggy Ma. And Steven even uploaded one of them on weibo. And he too said he would upload one of his own drawings of Grand Piggy Ma. His fans quickly crowned him the grand master of pigs and they his little piggies. And thus Grand Piggy Ma came into being. And Steven obligingly accepted that nickname when he named his weibo, Grand Piggy Ma Abode. Must say Steven is indeed a very good host to his weibo fans with his interesting entries and chats. Also, his fans' adulation must be a big ego booster to him. The downside of this voracious idol-fans interactions is that familiarity usually breeds contempt and familiarity can also lead to fans' false sense of proprietary ownership of their idol. Hope it won't happen to Steven.

2010-5-20 12:49  The morning fire scene with the help of nature was finally completed; no accidents, effect was good. Good job, everybody! While waiting for position, I went into the props colleagues’ workroom and sat there. Snapped some pictures. Though ordinary looking, the surrounding when captured in film somehow displays a different kind of feel. Si Ge’s maxim 14: I never listen to one-sided story only or believe in a blink of eye feeling. To get to the whole truth, one must use one’s heart to understand.
