According to Wan Xiaodao himself, Xiao Shenyang sued him because he published an article about Xiao Shenyang on the official WeChat account, with some screenshots of Xiao Shenyang's participation in the program "Lu Yu You Yue". Xiao Shenyang believed that he had violated his right to portrait, so he sued Wan Xiaodao. In fact, I think if it is an ordinary article, Xiao Shenyang will not sue. The content of the article may contain some offensive words. Without the consent of Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Shenyang will safeguard its own rights and interests.
But I don't think the proper act of idolization is infringement. For example, some fans will go to a star's concert, take photos of the star, keep them on their mobile phones, and buy posters of the star to hang on their walls to motivate themselves to become better. None of these behaviors belong to infringement, but if the portrait of the star is put in some offensive articles without the consent of the star himself, and it can still make a profit, then the star himself can safeguard his legitimate rights and interests.
Portrait right is a person's right to protect his appearance. Everyone has this right. When his portrait right is violated, he can sue. Small Shenyang did the same thing. After all, Wan Xiaodao published this article without the consent of Xiao Shenyang, and I believe the law will give Xiao Shenyang an explanation so that everyone can better understand this matter. What do you think of this matter?
