He was once a bright star in the entertainment industry, proficient in five foreign languages, talented, and praised as an "all-round genius". Whether acting, scriptwriting, or dubbing, he can handle it with ease and become a leader in the industry. However, a remark against the sky made him from a national star to a lost dog, and he quit the entertainment industry in embarrassment. 
On the radiant stage, he conquered countless audiences with his superb acting skills and soulful voice. His talent and hard work convince people that he is a true artist, a man who deserves respect and admiration. However, all good things were shattered at that moment. What's going on here?
A literary teenager who walked out of the compound, to a rebellious "contract breaker" who studied abroad
In 1968, a baby cry in the compound announced the arrival of Zhao Lixin. Born into a military family, he was favored by his parents and older brothers. As a child, he was his brother's henchman, playing with all his new gadgets until his brother threw him a few books, and the door to a new world was opened.
Zhao Lixin is a child who loves to read, from Zweig to Maugham, he accepts all the good and bad, including the works of some foreign writers. Perhaps it was these books that laid the groundwork for some of his later remarks.
Although his academic Xi grades are not outstanding, and mathematics, physics and chemistry are a mess, Zhao Lixin's liberal arts grades have always been among the best. Faced with the choice of the future, he resolutely embarked on the road of art examination. When the admission letters came one after another, and he was admitted to three famous schools at the same time, namely Chinese Opera, Shanghai Opera, and Beijing Broadcasting Institute, he knew that this was the arrangement of fate.
After entering the ** Drama Academy, his performance has been excellent, and he was even sent by the school to study abroad at public expense in the second year. At that time, he signed an agreement with the school: the school funded him to study abroad, and after completing his studies, he had to return to work in Chinese opera. For him, who had never been abroad, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he agreed without hesitation.
However, the days of studying abroad were not as good as he imagined.
Zhao Lixin, who had just arrived in Russia, suffered a huge setback because of the language barrier and the cold weather. Fortunately, he met a Russian girlfriend, and with her help, his language skills quickly improved.
However, when graduation was approaching and it was time for him to return to China to fulfill his agreement with the school, he chose to stay. He started a family with his foreign girlfriend and had children, and he was not optimistic about the development prospects of Chinese opera, so he unilaterally tore up the contract signed with the school.
The development in Russia was not satisfactory, so Zhao Lixin came to Sweden, where his life took another turn.
The Chinese star of Sweden, the twists and turns of the love field and the way home
Sweden, a distant Nordic country, is a cold and mysterious place for most people. But for Zhao Lixin, this land has become a springboard for his artistic career.
The moment he stepped into the Swedish National Theatre, he realized that his talent was finally being appreciated. Among the many outstanding artists of the Grand Theatre, he is the only actor with Chinese ancestry.
However, just as his career was gradually reaching its peak, his married life encountered unprecedented challenges. The long separation between the two places gradually distanced him from his Russian wife, which eventually ended because of her betrayal.
The failure of his marriage devastated him, but instead of choosing to sink, he worked harder to devote himself to the cause he loved.
Sweden, the country that had given him countless opportunities and honors, was now a lonely cage in his eyes. When he was almost 30 years old, he met a Beijing girl who rekindled his love - Yu Lan.
Her appearance made him realize that life is not just about career and honor, but also about spending a lifetime with the people he loves. Yu Lan's deep attachment to his hometown made him think about his home, and he gradually understood that no matter where he went, China would always be his home.
In order to fulfill Yu Lan's wishes, he decided to give up everything in Sweden and return to China with her. The decision was not easy for him, but he knew that everything was worth it for the sake of love and family. When they embarked on their journey home, his heart was full of anticipation and longing.
After returning to China, he was surprised to find that the Chinese opera that had trained him had opened its doors to him again, and invited him to take up the position of professor. He knows that this is a new beginning in his life, and it is also the best account of his past.
"Top of the Uncle Circle" Zhao Lixin: From a professor of Chinese opera to the ups and downs of the entertainment industry
He was a professor of Chinese opera, and he was one of the professors with the most hours of classes and the widest range of interdisciplinary disciplines in the school at that time. However, Zhao Lixin is not satisfied with a stable teaching career, his heart is full of enthusiasm and pursuit of art.
So, he chose to leave school and devote himself to a broader stage - directing dramas and participating in TV series.
However, the intense work of filming TV series made it impossible for him to juggle the responsibilities of a professor, and after careful consideration, he made a major decision - to quit his professorship and devote himself to his acting career.
But the road to interpretation has not been easy. Zhao Lixin, who has just entered the film and television industry, can only receive some marginal supporting roles, which has made him work in the film and television industry for six or seven years, but he has never caused too many waves.
It wasn't until he was 42 years old that he finally received the first play as the male number one, which also made people gradually familiar with the name - Zhao Lixin.
The real turnaround came in 2018. This year, he participated in the hit program "Sound Immersion" as a professor, artist, and director. On this stage, he has won the love of a large number of fans with his dubbing ability in four Chinese languages, extremely high dubbing skills and elegant artist image. People affectionately call him "the top of the uncle circle".
With the popularity of "Sound Immersion", Zhao Lixin's career has also ushered in spring. He received more invitations to TV series and entertainment programs, and his income also rose.
However, just as his career was rising, he surprised the people who liked him because of an inappropriate remark. This incident has aroused widespread public attention and heated discussions, making people question his image and career.
His words and deeds have attracted much attention, especially those offensive remarks he made on Weibo. These remarks not only aroused public dissatisfaction and condemnation, but also caused some officials such as Ziguangge, the Communist Youth League, and China Anti-Cult to criticize them one after another. Although he quickly apologized publicly on Weibo, viewers didn't buy it.
If you dig deep into Zhao Lixin's Weibo account, you will find that he has made inappropriate remarks more than once. He once claimed that the Chinese behaved ** and were a freak. He also belittled and attacked the Japanese, accusing them of not mourning their fellow citizens. In addition, he also wantonly made pornographic jokes about female policemen, and even involved racial discrimination and insulting remarks.
This repeated reactionary rhetoric gradually consumed the audience's goodwill towards him. He billed himself as an elegant artist, but he spoke eloquently about the country that raised him. This kind of unworthy words and deeds eventually aroused strong disgust and resistance from the audience.
In the end, Zhao Lixin was ** by netizens and became the target of public criticism.
A smash hit talent, or the fall of a star without virtue?
There are always some people in the entertainment industry who briefly illuminate the starry sky with their own talents, but they quickly dim because of their lack of morality. Zhao Lixin, this name may or may not be familiar to you, but his story is worth pondering.
Zhao Lixin once conquered the audience with his outstanding talent and acting skills, and his booming career was enviable. However, as the ancients said, "Talented and beautiful people are easy to obtain, but virtue is difficult to cultivate". Whether it is in the entertainment industry or in real life, if a person wants to really go long-term, talent alone is far from enough.
Although Zhao Lixin can deduce a thousand styles on the stage, in real life, he has repeatedly caused controversy because of his words and deeds. From inappropriate remarks on Weibo to his attitude towards others, his behavior is shocking. Such words and deeds make people ask: how complex can a person's inner world be?
The competition in the entertainment industry is fierce and numerous, but if you want to really gain a foothold in this circle, talent alone is far from enough. A person's character, morality, and attitude towards others are equally important. Zhao Lixin's story tells us that only by cultivating both ability and political integrity can we truly become an evergreen tree in the entertainment industry.
We have no way of knowing Zhao Lixin's future, but his story is a wake-up call. On the road to pursuing our dreams, we must not only strive to improve our talents and skills, but also remind ourselves that moral cultivation is equally important.
