On an ordinary night in 2015, a talent show quietly changed Po's fate. When Han Hong angrily denounced the identity of the contestants for falsifying, no one expected that this would cause a storm that swept the entire entertainment industry.
Po, the former champion of the "Avenue of Stars", went from a high-profile star to a person of doubt overnight.
His carefully constructed image of "herding sheep", like a gorgeous sand castle, collapsed in the tide of truth. The grassroots counterattack story that has moved countless audiences has hidden secrets.
What caused the image of this singer, who once earned millions of dollars a year, to collapse in an instant? What kind of truth is hidden behind his "grassroots" personality? Let's uncover the legendary story of Po from glory to destruction.
In 1969, in a remote mountain village in Datong City, Shanxi Province, Bao's life story began. Born into a family of ordinary workers, he grew up with the expectations of his parents and the earthy atmosphere of the countryside.
Although his family is not wealthy, Po's love for music is like a wildflower in the mountains, blooming tenaciously in the barren land.
With a dream of singing, the young Po began his musical journey. He actively participates in various singing competitions, hoping to show off his singing voice on stage. However, the reality is always cruel.
Without a professional training background and lack of financial support, Po is like a flat boat in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, and it is difficult to stir up waves.
In 2004, the god of fate finally smiled at Po. CCTV launched a program called "Avenue of Stars", which provided a stage for amateur singers to show their talents.
Po is acutely aware that this may be his only chance to change his fate. He did not hesitate to sign up for the competition and embarked on the road north to catch the exam with full enthusiasm.
On the stage of "Avenue of Stars", Po's image is unforgettable. He wears a white towel on his head and a shoulder on his shoulder, and the strong atmosphere of a mountain peasant comes to his face.
When he opened his mouth to sing, his high-pitched and passionate singing voice and unique singing style immediately attracted everyone's attention. The audience seemed to see a "sheep herding baby" from the deep mountains, telling his love for music with his simple singing voice.
After several rounds of fierce competition, Po's hard work finally paid off. In 2005, he won the annual championship of "Avenue of Stars" with the song "Shandandan Flowers Bloom Red and Gorgeous".
This song was like a whirlwind, and it quickly spread all over the country. Po has also become a well-known star, and his "grassroots" counterattack story has aroused the resonance and yearning of countless people.
On stage, Ah Bao often tells his story affectionately: "I am an ordinary farmer in northern Shaanxi, who farms and herds sheep on weekdays, and it is because of my love for music that I embarked on this road.
This unpretentious image and inspirational experience gave the audience hope, and also allowed Po to gain a large number of loyal supporters.
In this way, an ordinary young man from rural Shanxi, through his own efforts and persistence, successfully stepped onto the stage of national attention and opened his legendary road to stardom.
With the success of "Avenue of Stars", Po's popularity is like a weed in spring, growing wildly. With all sorts of commercial performances and advertising endorsements pouring in, his schedule was packed.
This former "sheep herding baby" has now become a hot star, with an annual income of an eye-popping millions or even tens of millions of yuan.
Po's figure began to appear frequently in major variety shows. From CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, China's highest stage, to Zhejiang Satellite TV's star diving reality show "China Star Jumping", Bao's performance is always impressive.
His simple image and high-pitched singing voice can always resonate with the audience.
However, just as his career was booming, Po's private life was always shrouded in a veil of mystery. Despite being of marriageable age, there has been no definite information about his marital status.
There were rumors that he had an ambiguous relationship with singers Zhang Dongling and Spring, but Po himself denied it on the show, insisting that the two were just working partners.
This kind of attitude of being away from the public has only stimulated the public's curiosity.
On November 21, 2014, Bao's career once again ushered in a highlight moment. In a solemn ceremony, he officially worshipped Guo Lanying, a famous 85-year-old Chinese soprano and opera performance artist.
This apprenticeship ceremony can be described as star-studded, with celebrities such as Li Guyi and Bi Fujian serving as guests.
At the apprenticeship ceremony, Ah Bao first reported to Guo Lanying about his achievements since his debut. Subsequently, in accordance with traditional etiquette, he knelt three times and bowed nine times to Guo Lanying, and presented a cup of tea to the teacher.
Since then, this "grassroots" singer has officially become a close disciple of the respected Guo Lanying.
This move undoubtedly added to Po's career. It not only elevates Po's status in the music industry, but also adds a bit of professionalism to his "grassroots" image.
The public began to believe that this singer from a mountain village is constantly improving his artistic attainments through his own efforts.
However, fate always likes to joke. Just when Po was standing at the pinnacle of his career and enjoying the good times of fame and fortune, a storm that could upend his entire life was quietly brewing.
No one knows what kind of secret is hidden behind this seemingly perfect "grassroots counterattack" story.
In 2015, a seemingly ordinary talent show was like a bombshell, completely changing the trajectory of Po's life. When two contestants who claimed to be wandering singers tried to impress the judges and the audience with their tragic experiences, Han Hong, who had always been known for her bluntness, suddenly lost control of her emotions.
She stood up, pointed at the contestant and asked loudly, "How long are you going to act?" This scene not only shocked everyone at the scene, but also caused an uproar on the Internet.
With the fermentation of public opinion, people's attention quickly shifted from these two players to other former "grassroots" stars. The image of "sheep herding baby" that Bao has carefully created over the years has begun to crack.
Netizens began to dig into his background in a carpet way, and the results surprised everyone.
The truth is brutal. Po's parents were not poor peasants as he claimed, but ordinary workers. What is even more surprising is that Po himself was a former employee of a state-owned enterprise, a far cry from his self-proclaimed status as a farmer.
His proud singing skills were not self-taught while herding sheep, as he claimed, but were professionally trained in music.
What's even more explosive is that someone broke the news that Po had been a resident singer in a bar before participating in "Avenue of Stars", and even signed a contract with a brokerage company.
The exposure of this series of information is like a heavy punch, smashing Bao's carefully constructed "grassroots" image.
In the face of overwhelming doubts, Po initially chose to remain silent. But as events unfolded, he finally responded in a public forum. He admits that he is not really a farmer, but spent his childhood in the countryside, and has a deep affection for the countryside in his heart.
However, such an explanation came too late, and many viewers had already lost trust in him.
The public reaction was unusually strong. Someone angrily wrote on social media: "No matter how good you sing, lying to the audience is the wrong behavior!" Another person sighed: "It turns out that we have been moved by a false story."
"Indeed, in the entertainment industry, character and works are equally important. Po's choice of tactics in order to win sympathy is ultimately like shooting himself in the foot.
As the incident continued to ferment, Po's career began to take a sharp turn for the worse. The once endless stream of commercial announcements gradually decreased, and even the news that he was "blocked" was once reported.
Those fans who once followed him have now mostly chosen to remain silent or leave. Po seems to have been abandoned by this rapidly changing entertainment industry overnight.
In this crisis of trust, Po not only lost his hard-won career achievements, but also lost the trust and respect of the public. His experience is also a wake-up call for the entire entertainment industry: in this era of highly transparent information, any false packaging will eventually be exposed.
Authenticity is the most enduring charm.
Po's story has become a modern fable of integrity. It teaches us that no matter how touching a story is, if built on falsehood, it will eventually be as fragile as a sandcastle.
When the tide recedes, all that is left is broken dreams and regrets.
Po's disappearance lasted for five years, and it seemed like a long hibernation for him. The once-bustling fan base has fallen silent, and the once-frequent media coverage has gradually fallen silent.
During this time, all kinds of speculation about him grew like weeds. Some people say that he was completely banned and will never be on the stage again; Some speculate that he was in a difficult situation and had to rely on his family to support him.
In the face of these disturbing speculations, Po chose to remain silent. He occasionally posts snippets of his life on social media, trying to clarify that he has not been "banned", but that the offer has been reduced.
However, these faint voices were soon drowned out in the vast sea of networks.
It wasn't until 2020 that the 51-year-old Po finally stepped on the stage of "Avenue of Stars" again. He wore the same familiar costume from seven years ago on this stage, as if trying to evoke memories for the audience.
However, time has passed, and the audience's response has been far less enthusiastic than before. What was once sought after turned into indifference, and some even questioned whether he should return to the stage.
But Po didn't give up. He began to try to transform and enter the world of influencers. In the short video he posted, he is still wearing clothes with northern Shaanxi characteristics, trying to reshape his image.
His efforts are obvious, but it is clearly not easy to regain the love and support of the audience.
In January 2021, Po shared a video of him making winter cabbage at home on his personal social platform. The simple home environment and slightly cluttered kitchen in the video seem to send a message to the public that his life has returned to the ordinary.
This once powerful singer is now trying to find a new direction in ordinary life.
Bao's road to reinvention is full of hardships, but his persistence also gives people hope. Perhaps, in this ever-changing entertainment industry, sincerity and persistence will eventually pay off.
Po's story is like a mirror, reflecting the importance of integrity in the entertainment industry. In this era of high transparency, public trust is a precious and fragile resource.
Once lost, it is like a building collapsing, and it is difficult to rebuild.
Although the "grassroots" character design can quickly attract attention, if it lacks authenticity, it will eventually become a weapon to hurt yourself. Po's experience reminds us that any success built on falsehood is short-lived.
For Bao, the road ahead is still challenging. We expect him to create really good work and prove himself with strength rather than gimmicks.
After all, in this ever-changing entertainment industry, only true talent and real learning can stand the test of time, and only sincerity can win long-term love.
