In this era of fast fashion, how long can a piece of clothing last? A year? Two years? Or is it eliminated in one season? However, the famous actor Zhang Songwen gave us a resounding slap in the face with a shirt that he had worn for nearly 30 years.
On June 29, Zhang Songwen, who is working in Hong Kong, posted a selfie on social media for the first time.

Fans were surprised to find that this shirt was actually purchased by Zhang Songwen in a small shop in Shaoguan in 1995!
30 years, what is the concept for a piece of clothing? This shirt witnessed the whole process of Zhang Songwen's rise from obscurity to fame. It accompanied Zhang Songwen through countless lonely audition days, and also witnessed his glorious moments on the podium. When we are still worried about the piles of clothes in our wardrobe that we have never worn, Zhang Songwen uses this shirt to explain what it means to be "classic and timeless".
What's even more amazing is that this shirt has survived 30 years of wind and rain, and it still maintains a perfect condition that does not fade and break. This can't help but make people sigh, is Zhang Songwen too good at maintenance, or is the quality of the clothes of that era really amazing?
Some attentive netizens dug out old photos of Zhang Songwen in the 90s and found that he was wearing this shirt at that time. From a young boy to a successful actor, the only thing that has not changed is this simple blue and white striped shirt. This discovery makes the whole story even more legendary.
