Gao Xiaosong, a former musical talent, has now aroused widespread doubts and even criticism in the public eye. His life experience is like a sad song of ups and downs, which makes people sigh.
However, Gao Xiaosong was not satisfied with his dull science and engineering studies during his college years. Although he was also enthusiastic about literary and artistic creation, he gradually developed a greater enthusiasm for it. Music became the sustenance and expression of his soul.
In his junior year, he made a shocking decision - he resolutely bid farewell to Tsinghua University and joined the arms of Beijing Film Academy to start his exploration in the field of literature and music.
During his studies at Beiying, Gao Xiaosongyong gave full play to his talent in music and composed many popular songs. For example, "You at the Table", "Youth Without Regrets" and "Mike", etc., not only the song melody is beautiful, but the lyrics are full of affection, evoking many people's good memories of youth, friendship and love.
His unique creative style has earned him the reputation of "the originator of campus folk songs".
With these excellent works, Gao Xiaosong has emerged in the entertainment industry and has become a hot gold medal lyricist. Many celebrities are vying to collaborate with him, expecting him to create classic songs for himself.
Gao Xiaosong also lived up to expectations, his creative inspiration continued, and he created popular songs for many singers.
Gao Xiaosong is like a fish in water in the field of music, his talent has been fully recognized, and his reputation has spread widely. However, when his career was in its golden age and the future was bright, a series of subsequent events made the high-profile "musical talent" gradually decline.
He gradually lost himself, deviated from the original purpose of music, and embarked on a path of no return.
One night in 2011 became a major turning point in Gao Xiaosong's life. This night completely changed the trajectory of his life, and it also made him pay a heavy price.
After Gao Xiaosong attended a friend's birthday party, the reception was full of people, and everyone was immersed in the happiness of drunkenness. Gao Xiaosong is no exception, he drinks with his friends and indulges to his heart's content.
When the banquet was over, his friends advised him not to drive, and he could call a substitute driver or take a taxi home, however, Gao Xiaosong was lucky and insisted on driving in person, he was confident that he had a good amount of alcohol and would not have a problem, but he did not expect that this decision would pay a painful price.
In the middle of the night, Gao Xiaosong's judgment and reflexes were greatly reduced due to the effects of alcohol on the way home, and his eyes became more and more heavy. At this moment, tragedy happened, Gao Xiaosong did not step on the accelerator to the end, and unexpectedly directly hit the three vehicles parked on the side of the road in front of him.
The loud crash resounded in the night sky, waking up residents along the street, and the accident caused four people to be injured to varying degrees, one of whom was seriously injured and was dying.
There was a car accident during the drive, and Gao Xiaosong was very panicked and terrified. However, the current situation cannot be changed, and no matter how much he regrets it, it cannot be reversed.
The police soon arrived at the scene of the incident and took him back to the police station for investigation, and after a alcohol test, Gao Xiaosong's alcohol content was seriously exceeded, which was drunk driving.
In the end, Gao Xiaosong was prosecuted by the procuratorate for "dangerous driving", and after the court trial, he was sentenced to six months' detention and fined 4,000 yuan. The moment the gavel fell, the former high-spirited musical genius became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.
He never imagined that a moment of willfulness and confusion would make him pay such a heavy price.
This incident has aroused widespread public repercussions. People were shocked by Gao Xiaosong's evil deeds and condemned his wrong decision. At this moment, Gao Xiaosong became the focus of public opinion, and all his previous aura and glory disappeared in an instant.
However, the incident had an extremely serious impact on his legal responsibility and public image, and since then, Gao Xiaosong's life has begun to go downhill.
In 2012, Gao Xiaosong, who had just been released from prison, was ready to rise again, and he founded a personal talk show "Xiaoshuo". This should have been his starting point, a platform for him to show his talent and reshape his image. However, Gao Xiaosong did not cherish this opportunity, but instead used this platform as a place for him to vent and speak freely, which undoubtedly pushed himself to the opposite side of the public.
In the show, Gao Xiaosong spoke wildly one after another and made a series of shocking remarks. For example, in the discourse of Chinese history, he unabashedly trampled on the dignity of the nation.
He relied entirely on his own subjective assumptions, despised the history of the motherland, and unceremoniously criticized the Ming Dynasty violently, and what is even more special is that he believes that the Ming Dynasty is simply a "three-no dynasty": no morality, no emotion, and no right and wrong, it can be seen from his eyes that the history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years can be so lightly brushed aside in his eyes, completely erasing the meaning of the existence of this dynasty.
What is even more outrageous is that Gao Xiaosong actually dragged the national hero Zheng Chenggong into the water and slandered him as a "widow". As everyone knows, Zheng Chenggong successfully recovered Taiwan, expelled the Netherlands colonists, and completed the great cause of national reunification.
However, in Gao Xiaosong's mouth, this national hero has become a heinous pirate, which is a complete subversion of history and a great disrespect to national feelings.
Gao Xiaosong's remarks about the Japanese invasion of China were shocking, and he even believed that we should be tolerant of Japan who visit the Yasukuni Shrine. Whether it was during the century-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or in the current era of peace, we should all have an attitude of deep hatred and strong criticism of aggression and atrocities.
As a Chinese, we should not "tolerate" any kind of behavior that violates the dignity of the country and the interests of the people.
This series of inappropriate remarks was like a thunderbolt on the ground, which instantly caused an uproar in China, and people bombarded and criticized Gao Xiaosong indiscriminately on the Internet. He was accused by an angry populace of being a traitor, a traitor, and even a scum of the race.
In the face of surging public opinion, Gao Xiaosong realized the seriousness of the situation, he hurriedly deleted Weibo in a panic, trying to clarify and explain, but it was too late, under the weight of public opinion, he had to leave the scene gloomily, disappeared from public view, and his program was also forced to stop broadcasting in the anger of the public, becoming a victim of his apology and reflection.
Gao Xiaosong once fantasized that as long as he went to United States, he could stay away from right and wrong and continue to live the leisurely life he longed for. However, the facts hit him hard. His flaunted values, his unconventional remarks, no one in the United States bought them at all, and no one paid attention to them.
This frustration that no one cared about gave him a taste of pain that he had never experienced before.
In the United States, Gao Xiaosong's experience is like a fish out of water, hitting walls everywhere and attracting dislike everywhere. He finally realized that everything he had at home depended on the support and advocacy of the Chinese audience. But now, he has lost it all, and in a foreign land, he has become nothing.
Gao Xiaosong had no choice but to go home. In order to make ends meet, he had to return to his old job and return to his homeland again, hoping to make money in the entertainment industry and academia with the help of his past fame.
However, we Chinese will not be easily deceived, and every time Gao Xiaosong appears, he will be welcomed by a crowd of shouts and boos, and the people will express their dissatisfaction and disgust with him with practical actions, and drown him with boos and angry curses.
Especially in a live broadcast of the People's Daily, as soon as Gao Xiaosong appeared on the camera, he was immediately scolded. "Get out of China!", "traitor!", "Rats crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats!" Words like these pierced Gao Xiaosong like sharp arrows.
He tried his best to keep smiling and trying to lighten the mood, but to no avail, and in the end, the organizers had to stop the live broadcast.
This live broadcast incident is regarded as a landmark event for Gao Xiaosong to be completely spurned, and he finally realized that his development path in China has come to an end. Fans' attitude towards him has changed from support to deep disappointment, the stars who have worked with him have also begun to avoid him, and the media that once praised him highly have also strongly criticized him.
In order to escape the cruel reality, Gao Xiaosong began to indulge in the life of sensual dogs and horses, constantly anesthetizing himself. However, the more he indulged in it, the harder it was to escape, and the more bleak his future became.
From peak to trough, Gao Xiaosong's life is like a tragedy, and all this is caused by his own ignorance and arrogance, full of nonsense and deviation from his original intention.
The fact that Gao Xiaosong "disappeared" in United States reveals that he has gone astray. His story serves as a cautionary tale to every public figure that freedom of speech does not mean that you can talk nonsense at will, and that public influence should be used sensitively and judiciously.
Gao Xiaosong's tragedy is the sad end of him forgetting this.
The successive setbacks in his career have put Gao Xiaosong's personal life in trouble, and two failed marriages have dealt him a heavy blow in love and family.
After divorcing Gao Xiaosong, Yunzi said frankly: "His marriage will not last long, because in his heart, he will always come first." This sentence reveals the root cause of Gao Xiaosong's marriage failure.
His selfishness and self-centeredness eventually led to the breakdown of the relationship.
Gao Xiaosong is a typical egoist, always focusing on his own pleasure, and does not care about the negative impact of his words and deeds on society. He always thought that his wealth and status were due to talent and luck, so he could behave freely and unrestrained.
However, this selfish personality has taken a devastating blow to both his career and his love life. In marriage, he is unable to truly care and take care of his partner's feelings, nor can he be able to understand and tolerate each other.
His self-centeredness prevents him from being a competent husband and father.
Faced with one blow after another in life, Gao Xiaosong began to sink into the life of a sensual dog and horse, trying to escape the cruelty of reality. However, such self-exile only left him in a quagmire where he could not find hope in life.
Gao Xiaosong's life experience can be called a tragedy, falling from the peak to the trough, and from the peak to the abyss. The root cause of all this undoubtedly lies with himself, whose talent and achievements have been destroyed by his selfishness and hubris.
This once dominant talent in the music industry is now only covered with scars, facing the end of his life alone.
Gao Xiaosong's life trajectory is like the existence of a negative textbook. He told us that no matter how brilliant a person's talent is and how dazzling their achievements are, if they lose the bottom line of being a human being and lose the direction of life, they will eventually go to depravity and destruction.
As public figures and intellectuals, their words and deeds are important, and they need to be self-respecting and aware of their responsibilities at all times. Their pens and microphones can have a profound impact on society, so they must lead by example and establish the right values for society, rather than blindly pursuing fame and fortune and distorting the truth.
Saying the wrong thing is more serious than doing the wrong thing, and the wrong speech is extremely destructive and far-reaching, and can even lead to infinite harm. Therefore, each of us needs to maintain a high degree of vigilance to avoid repeating the mistakes of Gao Xiaosong.
Fortunately, there are no hurdles in life that cannot be overcome, as long as we are willing to repent and correct, we will definitely have a chance to start over. For Gao Xiaosong, he deeply understands that if the prodigal son does not change his money, it is not too late to change it when he knows his mistakes.
The key is that he can truly recognize his mistakes and have the courage to make amends and correct them.
